Summary: I went to the range and found something strange. A tour van and Callaway rep, his name was Stan and had a strong grip. I asked for the X-Forged in the nicest way...he handed it to me and said "fire away". I hit 8 balls in a row at the one-fifty, I said "darn dude, these irons are really spiffy". I thought that the irons were great and there was nothing wrong...I proceeded to make a deal with the rep and buy them for a song. I played the next day and shoot a smooth sixty-nine. I must say I approve and that these irons are inexplicable fine. I can't wait to put another ball on the tee...but right now my wife says she's got a little "somethin' somethin' for me". I'm out.
Customer Service: The reps name was Stan Pervis..but I didn't bother to call customer service.
Similar Products Used: Used them all but I don't like hitting out of a driving range stall.

Summary: I really like these irons after finally deciding to switch to fordged I think i made the right choice. If you are going to make the swith from cavity back to fordged I would like to let you know that it is alot different when you play then when you hit balls on the range altohugh the feel is unbeleiveable on the range it takes time to get the feel on the course. I would recomend this product to a low handicapper. Alos if possible I would get fitted for these because of the weight of the head compared to a cavity back... Good Luck any questions Email me: Justin1324@gmail.com

Summary: Was playing X-16 Pro Series (earlier version of the Callaway "tour" irons) and was worried about transitioning to forged irons. While the x-forged irons are less forgiving, they almost force you to swing better due to the immediate feedback and feel of the clubs. Feedback is not harsh though and when I make decent contact, I've never hit straighter shots. But when you pure one, WOW, they make you sound, look and feel like a pro. SWEEEET!! Yes these irons require a little more skill but not nearly the "elite level of performance for highly skilled golfers" stated on Callaway's website. Highly recommend demoing these bad boys before buying your next set of irons but make sure you use the right shaft for your swing which is critical with these clubs. Also, easy to find online for way less that MSRP.

Summary: Well what can I say... I moved from old callaway X12's (played with them for about 6 years) to the new X22's (played with them 2 months) and reacently bought the X-forged irons (yet to play with it. Personally the X12's was great clubs to begin with... so along the way i started making little swing adjustments, making my swing more controllable and smooth till i started to realize that the clubs i'm using is really out of date and i'm not getting the results that i was aiming for. I then bought the X22's, beautiful clubs i must say, but felt like they were exactly like the X12's just with added finesse... The clubs play brilliantly and are very forgiving, but ball shape and control is not under discussion for these clubs. Today I went in to trade the X22's for a forged iron set, just purely because I want more feel and feedback. I'm not worried about distance. Accuracy is my game :) I've hit a couple of balls with the Nike, Taylormade, Ping, and the Callaway. I must say, they all are exceptional, and it really needs a pro's touch to feel the difference. Not that I am, I just go for that's comfortable in my hands :) hehe... I told the guy not to tell me what club he is giving me to hit and i really just focused on hitting the balls and not looking at the kind of club and persistently the results showed that my swing consistency with the X-forged was a little bit better than all the others. They hit sweet, they feel balanced... I just can't wait till I can go and play them. :)
Customer Service: The Pro Shop South Africa. They are always superb!!!
