I needed to step up from my large cavity backs because i felt like i wanted to work the ball more. Im the kind of golfer who will learn to hit whatever club i buy regardless of how i hit it while at the store. I knew i would temporarily struggle with my new irons because of the difference in style. However, out of all the clubs i tried, these were the only clubs i hit consistently. I was instantly surprised and satisfied, and bought them. I have had no complaints since. These clubs have added so much confidence in my iron game, and i can work the ball in both directions effortlessly. In conclusion, any golfer looking to step up from large cavities and get a little more control over their shots should definitely try these out. Im sure they will be impressed

I just ordered a complete set, consisting of Nike SQ 5900, 9.5 stiff, with matching 3 & 7 wood, X 20 tour irons 3-pw s flex, Taylor made rac Z wedge 56 deg. and an odyssey Sabre tooth putter.

I use to play the wilson PI5 and before that the wilson Deep Red. I decided to switch to Callaway because I hit the pi7 but didnt take to them. All I can say is that I am very glad I switched to these clubs. Every club in the bag feels amazing and for a tour club they are remarkably forgiving. I ordered the set from Roger Dunn online and I would advise anyone not to order from them. It took 3 weeks for the clubs to get to my when i paid for over night shipping. I had better experiences with TGW.com

In the end this is a perfect set from tee to green.

Model Reviewed: Callaway X-20 Tour PX 5.5 Flighted

Bought the Callaway X-20 Tours after an exaustive search for a replacement for my beloved 1984 Ping Eye-2s. I wanted something with much less offset (primarily to be able to work the ball right), a conventional look, cambered sole but still offering some forgivness compared to forged blades.

Clubs I demo'ed included Taylor Made R7 and the new R7 Burners, Mizuno MX 60, 57 and 67, Titleist AP2 (really liked these too), Adams Idea Pro Gold (forged), Ping -10, and Callaway X-Forged.

Ultimately the X-20 Tours won our because they offered the ball flight I wanted with increased distance while still being forgiving clubs. Despite the rolled front edge I can hit these from hardpan lies with no problem. I am able to work the ball both ways with little effort. The flighted Project X 5.5s truly provide a lower, more penetrating ball flight in the short irons while helping me hit the 5 and 4 iron a bit higher.

I strongly urge you to get fit on a launch monitor or with a good pro/clubfitter. I am more of a smooth swinger with a 6-iron speed of 80-82 an driver speed around 95 mph. I first tried the 6.0 shafts and they felt like a piece of rebar - low and right every shot. The 5.5s were perfect as I can get the face closed and feel a bit of "pop" at impact.

The Project X shafts are a mid flex shaft with a soft tip. They are lighter than TT Dynamic Gold but feel and play stiffer than other rifle shafts. I read that a TT Dynamic Gold S300 flexs out to about 5.7-5.8 on the Project X scale, so the PX 6.0s are like a stiff+, the 5.5s a stiff light and the 5.0s more like a stiff R300.

This is a great set. Alot of reviews on here say that the short irons dont have that much feel. The pitching wedge is the only club that doesnt have that much feel from up close but thats why I have a couple wedges in my bag. topline is a little fat but not really solid club great for even a scratch golfer. dont be scared by the so called scratch golfers that say they dont have any feel or a fat topline. i have the 6.0 rifle shafts heavy for easier swing. buy them great clubs.

When I reached a status of a "bogey" golfer, I was looking for a replacement for my oversize, large offset and high trajectory irons.
Couldn't be more happy than with X20 Tour. Stable distance, easy to get airborne, nice looks and above all I do not have a feeling that I lost much forgiveness due to less offset and a smaller head.
Only little negative I see that the short irons are a bit dull in response and feel around greens even for me, especially compared with my wedges. But I happy trade this for straight shots of the same distance + I bought an extra nice blade 50deg wedge for chips and feel shots. Mid and long irons are just perfect.
I reckon that these clubs are mostly for 10-20 handiccapers, as if I ever happen to be a single digit, I would want more feel in short irons and not so thick top line. Single digits should consider these, only if their iron game is a bit rusty or need just some reliable, easy to hit irons.
Shafts, I have the softest version - 5.0, as my swing is long, easy and relaxed. My 7i carries 150yards, so I recommend considering stiffer shafts only if you carry 7i well over 150 yards.

Overall, I am very happy, and will have them in my bag until my game allows me to go for more players' irons, which might take years...

I have the project X flighted 6.0 shafts in my irons and have found that the ball flight for the short irons are at a low trajectory and the shafts are made to do this. I have trouble getting my long irons in the air(normally) but with the project X shafts I don't have that problem anymore. Even though you get a lower trajectory with the short irons, all crisp shots will have plenty of bite and spin. I have been using these clubs for 1.5 years and I get a lot of spin on the shorter irons, in fact, more than my previous set. I generally have a very low ball flight with any set I have used. If you tend to hit your long irons low, the project X 6.0 shaft is for you.
Overall, I love my set of X-20 tours, the only downside I have noticed is that I am 1/2 club shorter with these clubs than with my old set of forged Titleists. As far as feel goes, I think any new set of clubs is difficult to get the feel of without using them more than a month. I have developed a good feel for the X-20s. I strongly suggest to everyone that they get fitted.

Can anyone comment on the difference between the stock flighted Project X and the unfligted Project X in the Callaway Tour X20? After months of testing everything under the sun, I keep coming back to this club.

I like the stock flighted PX 6.0 just fine. However the fitter is suggesting I go with the unflightted PX in a 5.5 becasue the flighted PX shafts produce a very low ball flight on the short irons, making it hard to hold a green and the regular PX plays stiffer then its flighted counterpart. (Admittedly this was his personal feeling and experience.)

In the 6 iron out of the fitting cart, I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two shafts. Of course they don't have any short irons available to to make the side-by-side comparison.

Not that I don't trust the guy doing the fitting, but would like to hear from some folks with real first hand experience. Plus trying to figure out why Callaway would put a more expensive stock shaft in the club if the lower priced project x works better. Thoughts/opinions?

Model Reviewed: Callaway X-20 tour irons / project x6.0

Tried these out couple weeks ago. Also looking at TM R7TP. Tough choice as both felt same in simulator...went with the Callaways. Read that the project shafts are stiffer but I have not noticed any difference after approximately 5 rounds. The x6.0's play same as my DGS300's in past sets. Like others have noted, long irons feel great with the ball at a great launch angle. Short irons provide little feedback. Would prefer more feel from the 8-PW. Definitely a club that you can't muscle. In swinging easy I'm able to produce consistent trajectory and distance.

Purchased at a Golf Town store in London, Ontario. Great service from there. Clubs custom fitted and received in only 1 week after original estimate of 7-10 business days so ... pretty good so far.

Bought these on the advice of my buddy who runs Edwin Watts. Great Clubs! Took them to Scotland and played the Old Course along with others. They worked well in the wind. Held the line and the greens. the long irons are laser makers. However, I don't like the colored lines because it looks cheezy.

An interesting dilemma with these clubs- they are forgiving and hit the ball amazingly straight. Long with decent workability, as well. But they have a dull, muted feel and the top line is too thick and chunky for a true players club. Like an unnatractive woman who's a really good cook.
