These have a shorter and taller club design than earlier X models. That means confidence at address. And satisfaction when you hit them. Have gained 4-5 yards(not some outlandish 15 yards as some dudes who play in the 90s claim). High flight and long. Best of all, they go where you aim them. Just put a smooth swing on them and you'll be amazed. Older technology still works. And cheap prices on ebay.

Overall good clubs, but in the last month my 6 &. 8 irons broke on the course .....normal swing.....shaft snapped at the hosel ! ...constant flex ultra light shafts.
Local club repair said he could not fix them......he said I had to ship them to the Callaway factory.
Looks like it is time to buy new clubs , but not Callaway.

A few years ago I found a Callaway x16 two iron.The head was a different shape to the one I was using although the shaft was a similar flex.The club stays in my bag.

I bought a used set 3-PW for $200 and put new Lamkin dual density(green)grips on the regular flex graphite shafts just before summer. The finish on the stock Callaway shafts continues to look new on all the clubs and the heads still look nice and seem to wear very well. I'm impressed with their durability and potential to last. If my swing is on it seems these help get me in 80's more often than any iron set I've ever owned. Well struck shots feel very solid with a mid high flight that doesn't balloon. Distance is very good and they don't rely on extra strong lofts. Accuracy is very good when my swing stays on plane. I've heard some people say they're clunky lookwise and feelwise but I disagree. To me they inspire confidence and have what I would describe as simple good looks. They work well in short game situations too although I had to adapt my technique to what these do well. These irons got tested under fire at our club championship this year. I had played very poorly the year before but being determined to handle the pressure better and armed with my X-16's I managed to shoot rounds of 87 and 90 with our golf course more or less set up like a U.S. OPEN. That got me a 3rd place trophy in my flight. Now I'm a complete believer in Callaway X-16 irons and their notch weighting technology.

Solid set of irons. Especially for the current price. Worth picking up an approach wedge to match, it's made my short game more consistent and offers the option to still chip instead of pitching on some uphill shots. These irons have been great to me--very playable and consistent. Easy to hit a slight cut or draw but still give the game improvement edge. Nice balance between game improvement and players clubs, favoring game improvement. I don't carry the 3 or 4 in my bag but they are very hittable compared to other clubs. Have the rifle uniflex, which are good for the developing player. In the course of the last year I've added significant swing speed, but don't feel that I need to get them reshafted. Great feel for a game improvement iron. Chipping is a joy, but pitch shots can be clunky.

I normally shoot in the 87-95 range. I bought a set of X-16 irons about 18 months ago. Clubs came with R-flex 75-g graphite stock shafts. I really enjoy these clubs, however I have to close the club face of 3-6 irons to about 11 O'clock in order to hit them straight. Last X-mas I told a local PGA professional at Dick's Sporting Goods about this and he checked out my swing with tape .After hitting several balls, the tape confirmed that I need to play with a 2-degree upright lie. So Dick's Sporting Goods charges $4/club for lie adjustment. I played a round yesterday with newly bent clubs and what a difference it makes... for 18 holes, I did not slice once with my iron, now I have a neutral set up and ball flights higher and straight. I liked my clubs before, I enjoy them much better now... Hopefully they will help me play consistently in the 80s

So believe in 'custom fit' clubs. I cannot believe that only 2-degree upright lie makes a HUGE improvement in my game.

Enjoy your game

I have been playing X-16's for 3 years now and have over 100 rounds on my set with rifle tour stiff shafts. They are very forgiving and the 3,4,5 irons are amazing. My handicap went down from 12 to 9 over the three years. However, the higher numbered clubs are chunky and lack feel. I lost 10 yards on the pitching wedge from my previous set (125 down to 115 max) and can't tell you how many skulled chips I've had due to the heaviness and clunkiness of the PW and 9. These clubs are super for a high handicapper but not for finnesse shots.

These irons feel right and are well put together. Currently an excellent value in the market. It took me a few rounds to get used to them. The uniflex shaft allowed me to get good results while calming down my swing. These are great for game improvement.

great

Used them for 20+ rounds and traded them in. Somewhat my fault, I had a Taylor Made Super Steel set for 5 yrs. with Regular flex shafts. Thought I was up-grading, but I was wrong. X-16's have uni-flex shaft and I was losing 15-20 yards a shot. My best shots would always leak to the right. I traded them in today for Adams a2 OS with reg. flex shafts. Now I'm sure I have up graded my equipment.

Callaway is A-1

I played these irons for two years and along with plenty of practice they really helped develop my game. I worked my way from a high 90's shooter to a low 80's and could even break 80 on occasion. Some how I got it in my head that I was at a new level and I was ready for more of a "players" club.
Biggest mistake I have ever made not only was I unable to play good with the blades I wound up altering my swing and developing the dreaded shank. It got so bad I almost gave up the game forever.
Well the high dollar blades are gone and the x16's are back in the bag. I've still not been able to get all the way back to where I was but I'm getting there. Bottom line is these clubs are as beautiful to look at as they are to hit and they are here to stay for a long time.
