If you are looking for a high performance iron that offers a great balance of workability and forgiveness, look no further. I've played over 50 rounds with these irons, and can't say enough good things about them. If you are a decent ball striker and can consistently strike the ball within a half inch of the sweet spot, you are good enough for the these Pro Series. If not, look at the regular X-18s. I work my irons left to right, but can also hit cut shots with these irons when I need to. After playing for a year with the Mizuno MP-30s in a quest to become a "player", I really enjoyed the forgiveness of the X-18 PS. With the Mizunos if I missed the sweet spot with a 7-iron by hitting the ball toward the toe, I would say I would loose about 15 yards of distance and be short of the green. With the X-18 PS the same miss maybe only nets a 5 yard loss, and I would still be on the green and 2 putt for par. These irons helped me reduce my handicap by 2-3 strokes, and my scoring really improved on par 3 holes. So for me, a player who can work the ball, but really only works the ball to get around trees, the X-18 PS are a great choice.

Excellent, you actually get knowledge humans to talk to when you call Callaway.

I love these irons. I've done my research on these and heard from a number of close friends that these irons tend to hit the ball higher. But, I always knew that Callaway strong degrees their irons, so I figured I'd hit the ball a little lower. My 150 club is usually an 8, but sometimes a 9. I'm a Corey Pavin/Fred Funk type player. I love using the club I can swing at around 80% and still get it there. These irons feel good. They produce a lower ball flight and you can work the ball, if you want. I would recomend these for anyone who has a decent swing. THANKS!

I bought my first clubs 15 years ago for $400. It was the Dunlop Maxfli tour-ltd. I have been very happy with them and still like to play (golf) with them.

Over the years I've tried the new irons when they came out... Firesticks, Cleveland TA3 (ta4, ta5), ping eye 2, Tommy Armour 845, Titleist dci.. I never really hit them much further and felt no need to change.
I hit my 8 iron about 135 and my 7 iron about 145+. Pretty standard. I shoot in the mid 80-s as I drive my Ping G2 about 250 on avg.
I finally tried the callaway x-18 and the mizuno mp-60 and really liked them both. I hit them both about 12-15 yards further. I put a 6 iron on a green from 182. Usually that's a 4 or 5.

I tried both irons and went back and forth, and finally realized that the muscle cut (forged) mizuno's, while extremely beautiful clubs, just aren't as forgiving. Being a 10 handicap, I'm at the top of the range for playing the mizunos.

Mis-hits on the Callaway weren't as bad, and that's important as mis-hits do happen about 3-4 times a round.

So I ordered the x-18 proseries with the stiff graphite shaft. Should be in by Saturday. I'm looking forward to using them, something I neer thought would happen after 15 years.

I've sent back a driver which had a loose part rattling inside. They fixed it and refinished the whole thing. Looked nice.

I just returned to golf after 7 years and I was lost with all the new technology. I had played Pings' since the early 70s', but decided to try all the new clubs. I was familiar with Callaway woods, and once I hit the X-18s, I realized that Callaway also made a great iron also. I can work the ball either way, my misses are very consistant, and the feel is exceptional. Another winner for Callaway!!!!

Customer Service

Callaways' customer service is one of the reasons I went to Callaway. I ran a retail golf store in the 90s, and Callaway was then, and still is today, the number 1 customer service company in golf, period!!!!

I have been using Callaway X16s for the last three years and felt a upgrade was in order. Demo quite a few different sets and still cant brake the mold away from Callaway Pro Series.
The real advantage of these irons are the shafts. A very stiff feel but you will have confidence going after the ball. I have always hit a very high ball and these clubs seem to have a very burrowing ball flight with these shafts installed.
I would recomend these for golfers who like to work the ball right to left.
Overall very strong irons and top quality with these irons you get what you pay for. If you are on the cusp of being a ok player to a good player these will realy help your game just make sure you get the shaft that fits you and your swing that you are devloping for the future.

Having found this site very useful while scouring the pro shops for a new set of irons, felt it was my duty to post a review. These irons are amazing - great accuracy and very reliable distance control. A little heavy in the head but once you get used to that it allows you to swing a little easier. They set up nicely and feel solid and you certainly know when you've hit it sweet. Tried the X-Tours, too, but these are much better.

Very solid clubs. Will take some getting used to having played blades for the past 5 years. However, i am confident that they will improve my score as they are much easier to hit an inspire confidence.

This is a nice set of irons. Excellent forgiveness and great workability. I have finally been able to cut the ball again. I have allways been a draw player, but this is actually letting me fade it a little. I must say, they are not magic, you must swing in order to hit, a good club will not fix a bad swing. My only complain is that I feel the ball is flying a little too high.

Customer Service

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!! I sent my old 16 for repair, and they exchanged them for thes brand new 18 with my choice of grips and shafts

I usually shoot in the low 80's high 70's. I am a club junkie and have played almost everything. I have never been a fan of Callaway as I like the look of the blade. I decided to give these a shot and I love them. They hit the ball far as the lofts are a little strong. The pitching wedge is at 46 degrees. These are very forgiving but I can still owrk the ball just fine. These might be my last set of irons for a while.

I decided to try these just for the heck of it, being a PING fan since 1980, I "knew" I would hate these, well, I was WRONG! The biggest problem was having to club DOWN about one club compared to my PING EYE 2's. I hit these clubs long and high, the sand wedge has to be by far the best I have ever played with. After trying the rifle sfahts and the S-300, the 300's felt and performed the best for me.Swinging at a slower pace gives me the best results, not quite a forged feel but very close.
