Summary:
Ebay purchase. 3-PW. Rifle 6.0 stiff steel shafts. Golf pride grips. $200.

I have an on & off relationship with Callaway clubs. Over the past 3 years I've bought and sold 3 Callaway iron sets and several Drivers & Woods.

I purchased these last week. I've hit about 25 buckets of balls on the range, and played them on a really wet course yesterday. I shot 7 over par, and could have beterred that if my short distance putting was more accurate.

These clubs are very, very good. I attribute the accuracy and predictability of the clubs to the Rifle Precision steel shafts. These shafts have no vibration at all. They feel rock solid and stable throughout the swing and ball contact.

Comparison to Ping i-3 with JZ stiff shafts - Which I've been playing the past 2 months.
*Distance - Ping i-3. Especially 3 & 4 irons. 10 yards longer.
*Accuracy - Callaway X-tour. The Callway heads are a bit smaller, so I know it must be the Rifle shafts.
*Feel; sensitivity/feedback - Ping. Ball feedback is more apparent and nuanced. Callaway ball strike feels more generic wherever I hit the ball on the clubface.
*Looks - Callaway. The chrome and black graphics are a bit flashy and gaudy. But still prettier than the Brown & Tan inserts on the dull gun metal finish of the Ping i3.
*Fun factor - Callaway. I have not changed my swing with these clubs. So how is it that for the 1st time in my life I'm hitting greens and the backspin is backing up the ball, just like the pros? Happening with every club in the set, weird but wonderful. Pings hit the green and ball rolls forward several yards.

Summary:
I have only played 2 times with these irons and I absolutely love them. I love the feel and forgiveness. The only thing is that I do feel that I'm losing some distance. I'm going to keep them !
