Summary: I was playing with the X-Tours and was loving them but after watching my Brother-in-law hit nice shot after nice shot with the X-Forged I knew I had to upgrade. The club is smaller than the Tour so I like that about it. They hit nice and I picked up 10 yards with them. I can't wait to see how this season shapes up.
Customer Service: Callaway Preowned Golf is the best place for clubs period. Got my set 4-PW for $185 on clearance!
Similar Products Used: I would say the Callaway X-Tour and the Cleveland TA3 Form Forged.

Summary: Let me first start by saying that i have had my irons re shafted to TT dynamic Gold To lower the trajectory (high swing speed so the flighted really weren't my thing).
Performance-
I absolutely love the things I can do with these Irons, More than enough workability, and the distances are fine, I don't know the lofts offhand but I hit these Slightly Further than most of my Past Clubs, The Yardage Gaps Are near Perfect, about 15 Yds. per club slightly higher from 5i-3i.
Forgiveness-
Surprisingly High for a Thinner Forged Iron, but still by no means a club for someone with an inconsistent swing path. Off-center hits can go fairly straight but in the wrong direction by a few degrees.
Feel-
Amazing, plain and simple. I can tell you almost exactly how far off a miss hit is within 1/2 a Cm before looking at the club, And buttery smooth on a solid shot as with most Forged Irons.
Cons-
Very Few, but I am not a Huge Fan of the Looks, and occasionally if you play on Bermuda grass the clubs dig pretty deep and can sometimes stop after your shot (rare but it doesn't happen to me with some other clubs.)
Customer Service: Broke a 5iron at the hosel, got back to me in a few days good as new, very friendly A+
Similar Products Used: Just about every forged iron out there, with the exception of some older models and some Mizuno's.
P.S. picked mine up for about $250 used, so value for me is unsurpassed. Anything under $350 for these is 5 stars, anything above that is still 4.

Summary: As the album title says.."CALL OFF THE SEARCH" I have found the ultimate irons for me...just played the front 9 at my club..and actually hit the pin on 2 holes..the others were just boring inside 15ft!!! The feel is tremendous, power/touch and unlike some I have not lost but gained distance...I cannot recommend these clubs enough.

Summary: Well these irons changed me. I went from feeling nothing in extremely large cavity backs to these at the merry handicap of 28. Most would critisise, however this was one of the best decisions i have ever made. The confidence alone must have drop 5 shots and through the desire to hit these pure, which isn't that hard anymore, would drive anyone. In all, i love these clubs.....but. Out on the range my 7i head came off and it need to be sent back to callaway. The club pro said they had lead poured down them, a cheap way to add weight, not really associated with Callaway clubs. Starting to question if the clubs i bought from CallawayPreowned are actually real, even though they garentee it. But is a must buy.
Customer Service: Well fine up untill now... but we will see.

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.
Thought you played Eye2's? yes, you are the best ball striker out there and are a truly macho man... I get it. Seems like you have purchased every iron known to man... look there are great meds out there for guys like you, see the local shrink and get some help. Do you have any fingerprints left on your hand, er... "wife"?
Good god famousdavis, is there no board that you have'nt dribbled your verbal diahrea on?! Granted, this clown's no closer to a scratch than you are and he probaly has a better chance of scoring on a course than he does with the woman in his review, but what did he do to deserve your lewd commentary? The funny thing is, him tossing your salad would be the highlight of both of your golf seasons
