Callaway X-12 Irons

Callaway X-12 Irons 

DESCRIPTION

The 1998 Big Bertha Irons feature all of the game-enhancing characteristics of the Great Big Bertha Titanium irons in a stainless steel head. The sweet-spot of the club has been increased over the standard Big Bertha iron. The weight has been re-distributed around the club and the center-of-gravity has been lowered to create a more heel-and-toe balanced iron. The top line has also been thinned to make this the most playable club Callaway has ever created. (Price for 3-PW Steel Shaft)

These are the best irons I have ever played. Very easy to hit the ball high, low, right and left. These clubs are for all skill levels. Those who say otherwise have no idea what they are talking about.I traded in my mp33s for these and it has been the best trade I have ever made. Two clubs longer than the mp 33's..easy to hit and yes they are straighter. I recommend these clubs to anyone who plays the game

I am a senior player with almost four years golfing. I have done a lot of club trading, have had at least ten sets of irons. The X-12's are the best I have played,done trading. They are forgiving and accurate. I will admit that I didn't give some clubs a chance,these didn't need a learning time period,they felt and played the first round.

These clubs are terrible. End of Discussion. Although i will say some things :b Ok so i got these irons used as a beginner set and they make me hit nothing but terrible shots.
I will hit the ball straight in the middle of the club face and my 6 iron will struggle to go 145 (when i use any other iron ill hit 160-170) on the other hand the way these are made i have to squat super low just to get it in the right lie angle. Bottom line is DONT GET THESE CLUBS! They make you have to swing flat and ugly.

GreaT SET OF CLUBS!! These clubs are good for a golfer thats just starting, these clubs are old and have a good feel, the only bad thing about these clubs are that the the graphite shafts crack easy, i was behind a tree and just tryed to commit to the shot and the shaft of my 3 iron cracked, But fgood clubs.

It might be premature to review the X-12 3-pw set after owning it for just 4 hours, but I am so stoked after hitting 2 giant buckets of balls on the range just now that I can not resist. It's April 2009, I've gone through 4 sets of irons and 5 drivers since last Christmas. Only the Cleveland Tour Action were new, the Titleist DCI 981, the Dunlop LOCO, the Yonex ADX, & Wilson blades were E-bay bargains. And today I found the nearly perfect clubs for me, The 10 year old Callaway X-12's with the RCH 96 regular flex shafts. I hit the ball consistently long. I can fade or draw the ball at will. I'm smacking the 3iron 240 yards, and five consecutive shots landed within 20 feet of my target. I can chop shot or lob the wedges like I've been doing it perfectly my whole life. With every club the ball goes where I intend 90% of the time without effort. Golf just got fun again! If anyone knows of an easier set of irons to play, please e-mail me the news. The purchase was a bargain at $157 for a very clean set.

Customer Service

I've owned Callaway drivers and fairway woods in the past. Purchased them from the Certified Used Callaway store in Southern California. Had telephone conversations with those guys twice. They are friendly and helpful.

ok...I have done reviews about mizuno irons i am using right now...but decided to do some more reviews on these(my ex clubs)!!
So... my handicap is 9 right now and play between 8-12 consistently...2yrs ago when i was 14yrs old I got these and they just transformed me!!
BEFORE...i had nike slingshot irons but 3 weeks after I got these my handicap fell down from 25 to 16...!!
Although I now prefer the mp37's(mizuno) these irons were just too extremely forgiving and comfortable to write a review on them...! I would recomment the to peopl with handicap of 25-14...!
These are intermediate clubs!!
And are most forgiving than the x22's or the x20's...although Callaway says the x20's and the x22's "ARE REVOLUTIONARY EXTREMELY FORGIVING IRONS"

I have tried to find irons that I could hit better. I love to tinker with new equipment, and everytime I compare new products (G5's, X-20's, R7's, etc) nothing seems to beat the 12 year old X-12's.
I guess it just goes to show you that golf manufactures' new products are more about marketing than advances in technology. And on top of it I am saving a huge amount of money by keeping these as opposed to upgrading. If you are on a budget and want a great club, you can pick up a set of these on Ebay for around $200. Give them a try

Customer Service

Called Callaway the other day to see about getting them fitted to my spec. They are bending them *3 upright, and adding 1/2 inch onto the shaft. I asked about cost, and not only are they doing it for free, they paid for ther shipping. In addition, they are regripping them for free. Could'nt belive it, but it is true. I know of no other company that will do this!

These were my first "real" iron set when I picked up the game a bit more seriously 3 years ago. Mine have the rifle regular shafts. They are a real confidence builder. I broke 100 and 90 with them. They dont give much feedback but they dont sting either, exactly what a beginner needs. The only reason I changed them was because a bit more control and less offset . I switch to the x-16 pro series. I dont think I will ever be able to play blades so I will stick with Callaway irons for a long time!

Didnt use it but I know they stand behind their product like no other ...
