None I put them away in favor of some 1990 Eye2+''s. I like the eye2+''s and I had not even so much as glanced at the X14 pros. I was cleaning the eye2+''s last night and went to compare the ping 7 iron with the pro series 7 iron. I took out the 7 iron and then I got out the 5 iron and the 9 and then I got out the 8 and then before I knew it the Pings were out of the bag and the X14 pro series was back in. So as far as magnetic bag attraction goes they score a 5. They worked well before I "hibernated" them so i don''t see any reason why they won''t be stellar again.

None i have changed to these clubs because my original x14s didnt give me the control i now need in my game, now i am striking the ball better these clubs are really helping to lower my handicap. i tried te t.m 300 forged blades but i decided i needid a little more forgiveness. the pro series gives me that added forgiveness but also ther is very little offset, something i was fighting against in my old x14s i would highly recommend these clubs to anyone who is a mid hcp and wanting to get better but do not want to be punished on a slight miss hit.

None Easy. That''s the best word to descibe these irons. Easy to hit, easy to score, easy to look at, easy to like. They''re long, straight, and forgiving. Best of all, I''ve cut about 8 strokes off my game since switching to these. They feel great, but different from forged players sticks.

None First of all, let me start be saying that if I had to fight someone bigger than I am, I probably would pick up a big stick in order to even up the odds. So with these X-14 Pro''s, I am surely able to even the score with so-called serious golfers. I''m only 5''6", but the length I get from these irons, you would think that I was 6''6"! I think the best aspect of these irons that differentiate them from the Original Big Berthas and the X-12 Pro''s (both whom I''ve played) is the FEEL. The x-12''s were also long and forgiving, but the difference is very noticeable with the X-14''s. They seem easier to swing too--if that''s possible. As with any golf equipment you might buy, demo, demo, and demo again. But with these clubs, I only had to demo them once! Customer Service The best customer service I''ve ever had to deal with among ANY other company! Note to titliest--when will my putter be returned?

None I''m a 15 yr. old and played these irons all this year. I demo-ed a set with stiff Rifle shafts several times and loved them. I got a set with regular shafts and brought my handicap index down from 10 to 2.4. I also had a hole-in-one during a high school match (7 iron 178 yards downhill) and finishes of 2nd, 3rd and 4th on the junior tour. So I''ve had a pretty good year with these babies. My only complaint is direction as I usually hit the ball solid but not as strait as I expect. Many of my buddies play Mizuno T-Zoids and say I should switch to a real club. Hmmmmm.

None I wrote my original review july 2001 and praised these clubs and rated them a 5. It''s now september and I''ve played quite a few rounds. I''m one of those golfers that is constantly looking for better clubs than what I''ve got. So I went and looked at the taylor made 300''s and played a round with them to see if they were better, then I tried the muzuno''s, then the titlist. None of them could come close to the calloways. These clubs have allowed me to take a smoother swing. The wedge is a 130 yards if I torque it up and a smooth 120 if I maintain good tempo. The 5 iron is now a 180 yard club and this is swinging with good control. My handicap has dropped from an 85 when I first purchased these clubs to a 79. The rifle shafts have been perfect and are consistent throughout the set. I think my search is over. It''s clear that there are a multitude of clubs out there that will work for different types of players. Calloway has built the one that suites me perfectly.

These are really great clubs! The 2-4 irons are incredible, I don't believe how easy it is to get the ball up and on line to the target. Mishits are punished in distance only. Customer Service NA Similar Products Used: MacGregor Forged PCB Tour, Titleist DCI |

I've had these irons for a lttle over a month, and while a may not be of the ability to fully utilize them I still enjoy them a great deal. I haven't played in about 7 years and since starting back up these irons have helped me get back in to the "swing"of things much faster. They are very forgiving and have a great feel. Even though they are marketed as a blade like club, don't be scared of them.

It's hard not to sound like a Callaway shill when describing this club. It's just unbelievable. I've always been a Ping guy (still play i3 woods)but the Callaway rep got me to try the Big Bertha Golds a few years ago. Nice club, very forgiving, but the strong "draw bias" turned my draw into a big, long hook. Club Pro wanted me to try 990a & b. I wanted to like these clubs but I just hated them. When you pure them they feel great but when you don't look out. went to a local range that had every major club and I tried them all. Gave the Ping Blades a good work-out but they came in third to the X-14 Pros and the Hogan Apex's. Customer Service None, but their area rep is terrific Similar Products Used: Ping i3 blades, Hogan Apex, Titleist 990, 981, Henry Griffitt |
