best irons ever made

I decided to eliminate the possibility of poor equipment causing poor play. Also wanted to work "up" to a set of good clubs. Got em for $700 and I can't say enough about the feel of these. They are so nice at address in terms of weight and set up that if I can manage not to overthink a shot and just hit it, then the clubs do all the work. Only played a few rounds so far and am already more confident with them. After 8 or 10 rounds I feel these clubs will be with me for a while.

I posted a review shortly after I bought these in February of this year and thought it necessary to do a followup review after some negative postings. I love these Irons, the best I have hit, from Titliest to Pings. Mine are 2 degrees upright, 1 1/2" long and stiff rifles. 3 Iron down to LW. One thing I did change on them is I took off the stock grip and went with a golf pride tour velvet which just enhanced the feel of these clubs. If Callaway has one weakness, it's in the grips. For those who hit blades, these Irons should not be compared. And to those typical callaway haters, go find something else to complain about

I previuosly had the X-12 Pros, but when I started to hit these, they are just fantastic! They inspire more confidence in my game by the way they set up, feel, sound... The rifle shafts are a solid combination to this club. They add more feel than the other "stepped" shafts. The lofts are a little jacked on these clubs (on the strong side), but I'm hitting them about a 1/2 club (or more) further than the older X-12 Pros. This is probably more to the decreased weight of these irons. I recently had to have the lie adjusted and had to play with my old Ping Eye 2's... that was a horrible experience after playing with these clubs. They felt so heavy... I think mid-handicappers and below would find these to be good irons. My overall scores would be in the 70's if I didn't always blow up on hole (Like Daly used to...)

I had to have the lie adjusted and they not only sent me a shipping a label, but had a three day turnaround. Their customer service is top-notch. I still can't believe they paid for every part of the transaction.

BEST CLUB IN WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYTHING, every club in the world

I can't believe the bad reviews some people are giving these clubs. Callaway never intended these as forged blades. They are simply a cavity back club with reduced offset. This allows additional forgiveness and more shot shaping abilty . I have found them to be a wonderful club for my game. I am not a low handicap player and need a club with forgiveness but also the abilty to shape shots from time to time. The irons do that..... period. Give them a try. callaway has always produced quality equipment. Their clubs may be a little pricey but if you are worried about that, purchase them used like I did. You will not be disappointed.

Customer Service

Yes, not bad. Slow to respond via web site though.

These come the closest to a real golf club that Callaway has made since their pre Big Bertha era, but they are still the same junk Goofy Golf sticks that they have been putting out to feed the masses of hackers for the last ten years. True, the offset is not to the point of being comical, like all their other clubs, and the head is merely huge, instead of being gigantic like every other club they make. But to call this a "pro" style club, however, is laughable. This is still a club for a chronic slicer who is looking to buy a game instead of learning how to swing, just like the rest of their clubs. Their "stiff" flex steel shaft is really a Rifle 5.0, which Precision actually lists as an "A" shaft, nearly a senior shaft. The "extra stiff" is a Rifle 5.5, which is really a regular flex. If they are listing these specs in such an illusory fashion, what does that tell you about the club generally? No knock on Callaway, the type of clubs they make definitely have a niche in the market, but get real, these won't help you learn a proper swing. If you want a club that will give some valid feedback, you need to get a jolt up the arm on your mishits. These clubs will tell you sweet lies all day long and will coddle your bad swings.

Cleveland TA3, Titleist 962, both much better clubs.

This might be the best club Callaway will ever make. Increased distance: 10yds with the shorter irons, and 15-20 with the 3 and 2 iron.

One cannot expect the feel of a blade, precisely because this is not a blade. With that in mind, this club has exceptional feel.

More accurate than anything I have ever hit. Trajectory was pretty high, but still boring.

Forgiveness is awesome. The best part is that this club is not clunky or big.

And, it is a gorgeous club. Try them out.
