Moved from TA 845's and have been hitting the x-16's for a couple of weeks. Find that there is so much toe weighting that the balls fly a lot further left than with the 845's. This may be a club for those with slower swing speeds. The clubs feel great and are forgiving but do not seem to go any further. I usually hit the five iron 190 yards.

I had looked at these clubs numerous times before I bought them. I had been playing with the Callaway Hawkeye Irons and was looking for more feel. I certainly got it when I hit these clubs. They are well balanced as you move through the set. I was especially pleased with the trajectory from these clubs as the Hawkeye Irons in the wind are a night mare. The X-16's were not very difficult to keep low in the wind. The X-16's are very workable and the smaller head size and topline are more pleasing to the eye. These clubs have also added feel around the green with bump and run shots that were not possible with the Hawkeye's as they were too hot/unpredictable off the face. Off-center shots give you feedback but do not hurt or stray very far. I had grafite shafts before but these have the new steel shafts and I really prefer them Surprisingly I get 5-8 yards more distance out of each of this entire set. Overall I think these clubs are great for players trying to get down into the single digit handicap but be appreciated by the higer handicapper as well. One draw back is they still have the thick topline which does not appeal to many traditional golfers.

Callaway has always been very good at backing their products.

I went into the shop today just browsing. After months of playing clone clubs and living with Inconsistency I decided to buy a good set and learn to play them. So being a lefty there are many options or chances to try clubs. I have had my eye on the x-16 for some reason. Well they had a set so I grabbed the 7 iron and I was on the mat hitting balls. UNBELIEVABLE is the word I would use. I hit every shot right in the sweet spot. Excellent distance and super consistant. THey felt smooth and the feedback was amazing. Now I know what feedback is supposed to be. Needless to say they are going in the bag tomorrow.

I traded in my x-14 for the hawkeye Vft, what a mistake, The vft was like hitting with a tennis racket, I have even seen sparks fly off the club head. The x-16's have a great feel just like the x-14's only more distance at least 10 yards more. However the pitching wedge is taking some time getting used to with the 46 deg. its harder to hit the in between yardage shots. Over all I pick the x-16's over the vft hands down.

These clubs are excellent overall. Miss hits are very forgiving. I have gained atleast 10 yards on every club compared to the T.A. 845. Just let the club do the work for you. Don't settle for any thing less because part of having a good game is looking good.

Customer Service

Never need to!

The irons are excellent, it offers soft feel, good accurancy and awesome distance, yet very forgiving on off-hits. Overall, it is recommend them for the high-handicapper looking for an all-around long, consistent and somewhat forgiving club.

My first reaction. Holy Frigin Crap. Its about 20 degrees outside and I can't wait till it tops the 30 mark so I can hit these clubs without shattering my finger bones. Best clubs ever. Solid trajectory and effortless feel off the clubface, they put my old 845s to shame. I'm still getting used to a longer shaft but the best compliment i can give these clubs is that resulting off center shots are hard to pinpoint on the clubface unless you're using old face marking 100 year old range balls off center hits feel THAT solid. Tons of spin with 6 irons in.

I tried the X 16s out at a local pro shop after I decided to move from graphite Hawk Eye clubs to steel with a smaller head. I hit my Hawk Eye's high and soft but I had some difficulty with control. I have only hit at an indoor driving range but I love the clubs. They are very forgiving and give me more feel to work the ball. The mid to long irons hit like butter, easy and smooth (if there is such a thing in a golf shot). I feel like I can use the 3 iron off the tee on tight par fours with an almost 100 percent guarantee of being in the fairway. I went ahead and purchased the lob and appraoach wedges at Golf Galaxy in Indy and have been pleased with these clubs. I plan to buy the sand wedge next. I scored in the eighties last summer and have a goal to shoot in the 70s this summer. I will continue with a local pro for a few weeks and (between lessons and the new clubs) I think I can reach the goal of a sub 80 round.

I have not used them but I hear they are excellent.

Having tried about 10 different irons from a range of companies and finding nothing that offered a noteable performance improvement from my existing irons (Mizuno), I gave the X16's a go -what an instance difference. The club felt so stable and solid at impact, and although the head was slightly smaller in length from heel to toe it still inspired confidence at address. When manufacturers have said that a club is forgiving I've often taken this with pinch of salt because if you swing badly the ball flight will be affect. However, the X16's where just that, very very forgiving. Toe hits travel well and even thinner hits climb to a respectable level. Another bonus is the steel shaft. Most of my previous deliberations when selecting irons have been over shaft type; R300 vs S300, Rifle 5.0 vs 6.0. With the Callaway it's easy, one uniflex shaft, just step up and hit the thing. I play off a 6 handicap and have had both stiff and reg shafted irons in the past. These X16's fill any void in shaft choice. Callaway will sell bucket loads of these things. They are nailed on for both accomplished players and high handicapers.

None needed yet, but be careful with these clubs. I've only had mine for 2 weeks and the lovely stain finish is starting to show little scuff marks. Those very unfashionable irons covers may need to be purchased to keep these gems in their best condition.

Got these sticks during a month long below freezing cold snap and didn't want to hit them inside. Alas, we finally got a balmy 40 degree day and I high-tailed it to the field across the street and gave these clubs a workout. Butter! Effortless swings produced majestic, soaring flights with both 2 piece and wound balls. I agree with the previous poster though that these heads really put some serious backspin on the ball. I am considering taking a road trip to somewhere down in the mid-south that is like 55 degrees (winter for locals, short sleeves and shorts weather for me) to let me really put these babies to the test. Can anyone recommend some inexpensive but nice tracks that fit this description?

Callaway rules, plain and simple. No questions asked. A couple years back the shaft of the Steelhead driver I bought for my nephew on his birthday shattered at a range. Callaway took the broken club and offered apologies because they no longer had Steelheads in stock and asked if they could replace it with the Steelhead Plus. They didn't have to twist my arm.
