I recently bought a set of Callaway X Forged irons, 6.0 Project X shafts. First round I played with them was today. Wow - what a set of irons!! I previously had a set of Callaway 2004 Big Bertha's which I absolutely loved - till I hit these Forged X irons. They hit the ball straight as an arrow. I'm a fairly consistent ball striker - but shoot in the mid 80's on a good day (mainly due to silly mistakes around the green - sound familiar?). Anyway - I did a lot of reading up a lot on these irons and they live up to the hype - sweet as butter off the club, and even go straight on mis-hits. Distances are deadly accurate - right on the money. My swing speed is high 80's low 90's on a good day, 9 iron 125, 8 iron 140, 7 iron 155, etc. I feel within a few weeks I'll really start to see a big difference in my game - due to the focus on ball striking that is necessary with these clubs. It can only get better - right??? I picked these up off E-bay at approximately 1/2 price (~ $450 for 3-PW) - brand new off the display shelf (got lucky!). I wouldn't recommend paying the full $900 - wait and buy some off E-bay or from someone who jumped too soon to a player's iron. I would recommend these for consistent players in the mid/high 80's and lower. If you can't hit the ball straight with cavity backs - stick with those till you can get it going straight. These do require a good sound swing.

If you love the feel of "pure" shot then these clubs are for you. If you shoot in the 90's or 100's you may need to get better before you buy these. These clubs do require you to be able to find the sweet spot. Just like with any players clubs, the better you play the better they will reward you. I've played Mizuno MX-20's for years & yes it's true that nothing feels better the a well struck Mizuno. But with these they are just as smooth. I am about the same length, even though these clubs are 1 degree weaker. I demoed taylormade tour burners, mizuno mp60's ping g10's and these were the best of all.If you have played cast clubs, you need to try these.
I bought these from Callaway Preowned for less than half of the new cost& the clubs are in great shape.

You don't buy a formula 1 car, if you only know how to drive a normal nice family car, and you don't play with a set of Callaway X-forged and think, you will get any good results out of it, if you only play golf a couple of times a month.

I call these Irons for my small babies :-)
I hit half to one iron longer, than I did with my old ones, and much more accurate. After I play, I can stand outside and wash them and enjoy how beautiful there are. It has become a ritual to me, standing there and enjoy how beautiful they are. You don't find many clubs to compare with.

If you know how to hit the ball, you will not be disappointed getting these, that's a promise!

I bought my babies nearly brand new from a man who got them as a birthday present... now when he has just started playing golf!!! He has seen them somewhere and thought they would be just him.... because he liked how they look!!!

And yes they are pretty, and I think he founded out the hard way, that he should learn how to drive, before he tries to drive down to the local supermarket in a formula 1 car, but it's easy to see here at golfreview, that he is not the first, who has done that mistake!

These irons are a revelation! I previously used a similar profile MacGregor but I've had them a while and I have desperately needed to change from a graphite shaft to steel, and of course the next level. I am a tall, bulky guy and swing fairly fast. I trialled the X-forged along with the Mizuno 57s and 60s which were well recommended. I chose the X because they gave me more consistency in length, line and spin and I've taken 5 shots off my handicap, unfortunately, purely down to the clubs. I just wish I'd bought them a year earlier! My recommendation BUY BUY BUY!!!

I needed an inch added to my shaft length and wanted some fatter grips. Customer service was fast and efficient!!!

Um yeah I look at pictures on the internet and based on that these look like good sticks. I play varsity golf for my high school team so I know what is up in golf.
Damn I wish adults knew how to use the internet and less dumb kids. I have actually hit the X-forged irons and I will tell you, if you have a repeatable swing and play enough golf to rationalize the $1000, buy these sticks. I hit them at a demo day at the start of May here in North Dakota and then the Callaway Rep dropped off my set personally today(another demo day, but I like to think because I'm special). I hit about 200 balls on the range than shot a 81 tonight in mens league.I also hit the new Titleist line, AP1,AP2,Z's, they belong in the bottom of a pond, along with the owners golf balls. The Rifle Project X's are the best iron shaft out there, I have hit DGS and the flighted rifles are just that much better. If you are a sub-18 handicap with a repeatable swing, pick these up. If you golf for your high school, quit, quit typing crap reviews, and concentrate on graduating.

i bought these irons second hand from a local golf shop for £265 with project x 6.0 shafts. the set was in extremely good condition and i couldnt pass up the offer. sold my clunky slingshots to my dad and bought the 2 - p set after testing these, 695mb , mp 32's and the mp 33's.
i know people say nothing feels like a mizuno, but i thought these felt a little better! i hit the mp 33s well and i hit the 32's well. the long irons on the 32;s were a bit difficult though. i hit the callaways best, mp 33's second and the 32's 3rd best. the 695's just didnt work for me, i couldn't hit the ball well. i prefer my friens 690mb's. i decided to choose the callaway's because they were slightly more forgiving and they had the project x shafts in them. also, i couldn't find any mp 33's in good condition for sale.
i just played my first round today, and even though i wasn;t hitting it exactly where i want, i was striking it well and it felt awesome! the softest iron i've hit (apart from the ap2)
i shot a 43, which is fairly average, but i struggled a little with the long irons. in a few weeks i hope i will be hitting these as consistently as my previous irons adn this wil hopefully drop my handicap.
just got to practice those long irons! (and short game short game short game!) :P

Say goodbye to the easy hit for distance. My rescue club is my 5i(easy 190 yds, strong 220+) no matter what brand I play. I have lost almost a club length in distance with a normal strike. These clubs are definately for the player not the learner. I claim operator error on this one knowing my capabilities. I have deducted that these irons have to be hit with a little more pace to make up the distance. Scoring irons are deadly accurate distance wise (PW 110-120, 9i 125-135, 8i 150+-). These clubs are designed for lower handicap golfers. One plus to the distance issue is that I have not flown any greens, which is cool. Flying a green on a great shot on line is like missing a 3 foot put. If I am playing infront of the pin there is no punishment for overcooking the swing a bit. If I have to play behind the pin I am less intimidated to go after it. For me it is not a bad weather club as you cannot get a little more when you need it. In oregon the weather can dictate your game too often unfortunately. I am going to hang on to them for the tournaments where I need to count on distance, however should the whether turn I will purchase a cavity back. The shafts may me a little light (project x 6.0)

I've had my current (Tommy Armour) irons since I was about 8 years old and right now I play on the high school varsity team, so I figured I might as well get some new clubs!

I've been doing some research for several weeks now and I've narrowed it down to either the Titleist 755's or these x-forged irons.
I prefer clubs that physically when you look down appear to be "skinny" like many blades are, however I can't quite hit a blade iron.
I have yet to demo either of these clubs but I'm guessing that the callaway will have much better feel and control compared to titleist just based off of hitting both brands in the past.

These are great looking clubs and I'm sure that they perform just as well!

Definetly consider them if you're in the market for new irons.

I have recently played the MP 32s, the MP 60s and now, the X Forged. Frankly, I wanted to pick another iron, but this one kept winning across all the important tradeoffs. For me, those include (most importantly) the look of the club at address, the feel of the club throughout the swing and, of course, the feedback the club provides. While it's true that nothing approaches a well struck Mizuno, us non-professional players ought to be focused on the feel of a slightly off center hit, etc. That's where I became convinced that the X Forged was going to help me score better -- in the longer run, across more rounds, than my MPs. I ordered the 4 thru P, despite the fact that I hit the 3 iron 15 yards further than I ever hit the Mizuno. I'm going to pick up one of the new Cobra hybrids -check them out. I'll write again once I get a few more rounds in these (5.5. X -which took several returns to the factory to get right). But I'm feeling pretty good about my decision. Hell, I wanted to buy the new Titleists blades, but I'm a five handicap at a first class course who plays 2-3 times each week in season. Did I mention that I"m 80.

I'm a golf nut and get the chance to test and try everything. These clubs won.

The shafts went back for matching twice. I was told it was a problem and it was.
