As the album title says.."CALL OFF THE SEARCH" I have found the ultimate irons for me...just played the front 9 at my club..and actually hit the pin on 2 holes..the others were just boring inside 15ft!!! The feel is tremendous, power/touch and unlike some I have not lost but gained distance...I cannot recommend these clubs enough.

Well these irons changed me. I went from feeling nothing in extremely large cavity backs to these at the merry handicap of 28. Most would critisise, however this was one of the best decisions i have ever made. The confidence alone must have drop 5 shots and through the desire to hit these pure, which isn't that hard anymore, would drive anyone. In all, i love these clubs.....but. Out on the range my 7i head came off and it need to be sent back to callaway. The club pro said they had lead poured down them, a cheap way to add weight, not really associated with Callaway clubs. Starting to question if the clubs i bought from CallawayPreowned are actually real, even though they garentee it. But is a must buy.

I went to the range and found something strange. A tour van and Callaway rep, his name was Stan and had a strong grip. I asked for the X-Forged in the nicest way...he handed it to me and said "fire away". I hit 8 balls in a row at the one-fifty, I said "darn dude, these irons are really spiffy". I thought that the irons were great and there was nothing wrong...I proceeded to make a deal with the rep and buy them for a song. I played the next day and shoot a smooth sixty-nine. I must say I approve and that these irons are inexplicable fine. I can't wait to put another ball on the tee...but right now my wife says she's got a little "somethin' somethin' for me". I'm out.

Customer Service

The reps name was Stan Pervis..but I didn't bother to call customer service.

I really like these irons after finally deciding to switch to fordged I think i made the right choice. If you are going to make the swith from cavity back to fordged I would like to let you know that it is alot different when you play then when you hit balls on the range altohugh the feel is unbeleiveable on the range it takes time to get the feel on the course. I would recomend this product to a low handicapper. Alos if possible I would get fitted for these because of the weight of the head compared to a cavity back... Good Luck any questions Email me: Justin1324@gmail.com

Model Reviewed: callaway x forged irons 2009

Was playing X-16 Pro Series (earlier version of the Callaway "tour" irons) and was worried about transitioning to forged irons. While the x-forged irons are less forgiving, they almost force you to swing better due to the immediate feedback and feel of the clubs. Feedback is not harsh though and when I make decent contact, I've never hit straighter shots. But when you pure one, WOW, they make you sound, look and feel like a pro. SWEEEET!! Yes these irons require a little more skill but not nearly the "elite level of performance for highly skilled golfers" stated on Callaway's website. Highly recommend demoing these bad boys before buying your next set of irons but make sure you use the right shaft for your swing which is critical with these clubs. Also, easy to find online for way less that MSRP.

Well what can I say... I moved from old callaway X12's (played with them for about 6 years) to the new X22's (played with them 2 months) and reacently bought the X-forged irons (yet to play with it. Personally the X12's was great clubs to begin with... so along the way i started making little swing adjustments, making my swing more controllable and smooth till i started to realize that the clubs i'm using is really out of date and i'm not getting the results that i was aiming for. I then bought the X22's, beautiful clubs i must say, but felt like they were exactly like the X12's just with added finesse... The clubs play brilliantly and are very forgiving, but ball shape and control is not under discussion for these clubs. Today I went in to trade the X22's for a forged iron set, just purely because I want more feel and feedback. I'm not worried about distance. Accuracy is my game :) I've hit a couple of balls with the Nike, Taylormade, Ping, and the Callaway. I must say, they all are exceptional, and it really needs a pro's touch to feel the difference. Not that I am, I just go for that's comfortable in my hands :) hehe... I told the guy not to tell me what club he is giving me to hit and i really just focused on hitting the balls and not looking at the kind of club and persistently the results showed that my swing consistency with the X-forged was a little bit better than all the others. They hit sweet, they feel balanced... I just can't wait till I can go and play them. :)

X Forged Project 6.0; 3-PW. I have played maybe 20 rounds and practiced extensively with my new clubs. I demo-ed the Mizuno MP57s, (great club!) before buying the Callaways. All I can say is they will make you throw rocks at Grandma! I have picked up 10 yards from my old Pings on the scoring irons and 30 yards on the distance irons. A PW 145 yds? How about hitting 3 iron 240-250? No joke, I hit my 3 iron off the tee way more often on par 4s than driver or 3 wood. It is also easy to work the ball while maintaining distance control, (even longer with a draw). If you miss hit, (as I do) you only lose 10 yds, but not direction. Heck, I even love cleaning these most beautiful clubs after a round or a work out on the range. You hear a lot about forgiveness with these clubs, and it is all true. I am a 9 handicap, and I was a bit intimidated about going to a cut muscle type/bladed profile club, but fear not! They are much easier to hit than you think. Go demo a set and you will see. This is a TERRIFIC set of irons and more forgiving than the Mizuno's in my opinion. The Project X flighted shafts really are key, as the long irons fly higher due to the lower kick point built in by Rifle. The X Forged heads progressively raise the perimeter weighting, for a higher center of gravity and the kick point in the shafts raise likewise to help for a bit lower flight on the scoring irons and a mid flight on the longer irons progressively. AWESOME combo!

Shoots in the 80s

I am 15 and shoot in the 80's mainly due to bad putting. I have had the x-forged for a week.I have been playing TM Rac Os2s for a year and decided that I needed a stiffer shaft and less forgiving irons if i were to improve any further. I had a hit of the Cobra Pro CB, Mizuno Mp-57 and the X-forged.
i was left with the Cobras and the callaways and i chose the callaways in a Rifle flighted 6.0 shaft. I chose the callaways because they felt really soft and were slightly forgiving on
slight miss hits.
When you change from a cast head to a forged head the first thing you will notice is the amount of feedback you will get. If you miss hit these irons the feedback is not a harsh sting but rather a gentle reminder to hit the ball better next time.
If you hit these irons flush you'll know it because it feels just that good!
If you are after a better players iron I would highly reccomend the callaway x-forged. they are quite expensive though but well worth it for the buttery soft feel.

I bought these from drummond and ordered them on Saturday and got them 2 working days later.

i bought these when i was shooting igh 80's golf. they have helped me to improve from around a 14 h.cap to around a 7 in 3 months :D
(admittedly, i did go to america and hit about 200 balls a day, then played 18 holes :D)
they are beautiful when you pure one, but i still think they are a bit unfrgiving. not that i mind ;)
trajectory control is good, distance control is good, chipping is awesome, and i can shape shots when i need to :D
(i prefer to hit it straight, why work it when you dont have to? i'm not a pro :D)
the rifle shafts make the clubheads feel so much better :D i find them to be about 5 yrds longer than my orevious nike's) 150 yrd 8 iron ;)
all in all, these clubs are amazing and i definitely recommend them if you are going to dedicate a lot of time to improving your game :D

Customer Service

i have not had to use the customer service, but when i had a chat with a pro and he watched me hit some balls, he said i may need half inch longer clubs :D
he phoned callaway and they offered to do it for free, but unfortunately i wasnt in the country long enough to send them away to be lengthened :(
