Callaway Golf did something brand new when it introduced the X-Tour irons: It made a set of forged irons. The Callaway X-Tour irons were the company's very first forged irons when they debuted in 2005. (Related: What is the difference between forged and cast irons? )

That was a departure for a company that made its mark in game-improvement golf clubs , which included all of its earliest iron sets with their focus on extreme perimeter weighting .

Today Callaway makes premium sets, forged sets, players' irons, along with what it continues to be well-known for: golf clubs that help recreational golfers "miss better."

But that original X-Tour iron set is where Callaway's entry into the premium forged irons segment of the market began.

Finding/Buying Callaway X-Tour Irons Today

The X-Tour irons can still be found through resellers and sites/shops that focus on used golf clubs. According to the PGA.com Value Guide, the resale value of X-Tour irons today is around $70, but you might find them for more or less depending on the source and the condition . We've seen them listed on CallawayPreOwned.com, where they tend to be more expensive — but you are getting them semi-direct from the source that way. (Given how old the set is today, the original X-Tours are getting harder to find. But Callaway made multiple follow-on X-Tour sets in later years, too.)

Looking Back at the Callaway X-Tour Irons

How were the Callaway X-Tour irons described at the time of their debut? That debut was in 2005. Here's what we wrote about them in real time:

March 21, 2005 — The new set of irons from Callaway Golf is new not just for consumers, but for the company, as well. The Callaway X-Tour Irons represent the entry of Callaway — a company built on game-improvement — into the forged irons marketplace.

The X-Tour Irons were designed by Roger Cleveland and, while forged, still feature many of the qualities that have made Callaway irons so popular.

"It has been very exciting for me to work on Callaway Golf's first iron offering in a category that appeals to so many passionate and skilled golfers," Cleveland said. "I believe the X-Tour Irons bring a new level of performance in shot-making that can be easily discerned and enjoyed by better golfers."

The Callaway X-Tour Irons begin shipping to pro shops on April 15, 2005. The MSRP for the set (3-PW) is $1,280.

Callaway says the X-Tour set offers the best of both worlds, "... the playability and feel that better golfers demand (along with) proprietary technologies that have established Callaway Golf as the world's leader in golf equipment."

The Callaway X-Tour Irons feature a notch-weighted, cavity-back head to which the face plate is laser-welded. The back cavity is precision-milled to perfectly fit the face. Both pieces of the clubhead are forged from soft, 1020 carbon steel.

The 2-piece forging allows Callaway, the company said, to incorporate the other technologies well-known to Callaway fans: the 360-degree Undercut Channel, Extreme Notch Weighting and a modified bore through hosel .

The 360-degree Undercut Channel and Extreme Notch Weighting are designed to maximize perimeter weighting, moving more weight to the heel and toe. These qualities help stabilize the club through impact, helping improve the ball flight on mis-hits. These features also provide a deeper center of gravity for more ease of use with the long irons and a higher launch angle .

The modified bore through hosel is longer than typically found in Callaway's S2H2 Technology. The location and length of the hosel further influences the center of gravity, moving it more toward the heel. This quality, Callaway says, helps workability.

The Callaway X-Tour Irons have been in use on professional tours for a while already, with Phil Mickelson and Annika Sorenstam among those pros using them.

The standard shaft is True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shafts in flexes of R300 (regular), S300 (stiff), and X100 (extra stiff). A 2-iron can be special-ordered to add to the 3-PW standard set.

Loft Gapping - Callaway X Forged Irons (2018)

By ddgator October 13, 2019 in Equipment

Recommended Posts

Been away from the game for a few years and have recently demoed multiple clubs for a new modern technology bag. For the purpose of this posted question, my focus is on 200 yards and in, loft gapping, and a seamless transition into wedges (primary goal being more precision and tight shot dispersion).

I’ve decided on the Callaway X Forged (2018) irons and Mizuno T20 White Satin Wedges (based on performance, feel, and pleasing aesthetics when demoing). My dilemma is loft gapping. I have traditionally preferred 4 degree loft gaps (admittedly unsure if I need to change that mindset - though it was a solid formula for efficient yardage gaps with my previous “real” muscle back blades - multiple sets).

Callaway X Forged has 4 degree gaps from 6 iron to PW at 29 - 33 - 37 - 41 - 45. 3 iron to 5 iron are 20 - 23 - 26. Custom options allow for bending 1-2 degrees weak/strong. Already being used to more traditional lofts and no issue with ego in caring how far a numbered iron goes, I am leaning towards weakening the lofts 2 degrees from 6 iron to PW (31 - 35 - 39 - 43 - 47), weakening the 5 iron 1 degree to 27 and leaving the 4 iron stock at 23. This would allow me to add Mizuno T20 White Satin Wedges at 51/08, 55/13, and 59/05 (would really like this combination of wedges). Though, the really great thing about the Mizuno T20 wedges is they offer every loft from 46 to 62 (many with multiple bounce options), so there is plenty of room to adjust if any of you have suggestions.

I feel pretty good about the above, though maybe a tad concerned about the added bounce (not so much about minimally less offset - I have a slight strong grip - my natural shot shape is a baby draw - my primary miss tendency is a shut face pull). The extra bounce concerns me more with the mid to longer irons as I am more of a sweeper (sometimes almost no divot - just skimming the turf). I would feel a little more comfortable if I knew the exact bounce I’m working with, though Callaway does not provide that info (I have called them more than once).

The other option is to go 1 degree strong with 6 iron to PW (28 - 32 - 36 - 40 - 44), 5 iron 2 degrees strong to 24, and either go 2 degrees strong with the 4 iron to 21 (can’t and wouldn’t bend 3 degrees even if I could) or go with the stock 3 iron at 20 (dropping the 4 iron). I could also still go with the Taylormade P790 3 iron as I planned to do in the previous scenario above (mostly for purposes of a distance driving iron - it’s stock at 19 degrees - could weaken to 20). This would allow me to add Mizuno T20 White Satin Wedges at 48/08, 52/09, 56/10 (maybe 56/14 for soft sand and heavy rough), and 60/06.

In case anyone is curious, the rest of my bag will be a Ben Hogan GS53 16 degree 4W and a Ben Hogan GS53 9 degree Driver (adjustable to 10 and/or 8 degrees).

I’ve been pondering this for months, though now that I have found wedges that I am very confident in (that offer so much flexibility in loft gapping on that end), I am itching to make this investment. And I did think about doing a fitting at Club Champion, but that wouldn’t cover “real” turf interaction and I already feel good about my fitting in regard to shaft, shaft length, and lie angle. Any thoughts, suggestions, or shared experiences will be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I would go with the second option of bending strong. However, I also think that more or less offset is a bigger factor to consider than the change in bounce. It's likely that we are always delivering a slightly differing amount of loft (+/- a degree) and hence bounce when we swing. This doesn't account for the slight difference in that you need to go 2 weak or 1 strong. But unless you are playing on extreme turf conditions one way or the other, I am not sure that most people could tell the difference in 1 degree of bounce on their full swing irons.

if you can use long irons and are considering bagging some why not continue with Cally and get a X Forged UT 21* & 24*?

I would get on a launch monitor and Gap the irons based on your distance with each club. Some irons may need to be bent stronger, some irons may need to be bent weaker, all depending on the distance they are going. Don’t get hung up on lofts to much on paper

I’m actually still considering the X Forged UT driving iron. Though, I really like the Taylormade P790 long iron a lot (distance - forgiveness - aesthetics). P790 short irons sacrifice too much consistency in distance control in mid/short irons compared to the X Forged (for me). Predictable yardages when shots are struck well and shots that come up a bit short if mishit will always take priority over extra distance In approach irons. However, for more of a driving iron type club, I’ll take an occasional extra 10 yards or so (in most tee shot situations). Compared to the UT, I simply prefer the compact head at address. A P790 3 iron seems like a good compromise to combine traditional aesthetics (that personally give me confidence and extra focus at address) with modern distance performance.

Agree with this. Especially since there's a margin of error from the manufacturer anyways. Just because you order an iron at 31* doesn't mean it will arrive at exactly 31*. So I'd just order stock, play them awhile to feel them out, then bend as needed to adjust any significant gaps.

I had thought of this before. Thanks for reminding me that this is always an option. If I go that route, I could even go certified preowned in good condition (to save money). This was my initial plan until the Mizuno T20 Wedges came out and I knew I could get the specific lofts I wanted with those (without bending). Maybe I just hold off on the new wedges (for now) until I do what you suggested first. Excellent suggestion/feedback!

The 2018 X Forged should already be traditional. I think the PW comes stock at 46 not 45. And the 7i should be 33 or 34 I believe.

I completely agree with everyone in hitting and see what your numbers are. I don’t think you’d have any issue at all fitting wedges around whether that be 52/56/60 or whatever you prefer.

Edit- I was wrong the PW is stock at 45- I should have looked before posting. That surprised me as the 7i performs pretty close to the MB for me. Either way you could maybe bend it one weak but I wouldn’t think you’d need to bend too much. These play very “traditional” I would think...

Since you mentioned the Callaway Apex MB’s and those being slightly weaker, I had been very tempted to also order the Apex MB PW (stock 47) and AW (stock 51) both at 2 degrees weak resulting in 49 and 53 wedges (keeping the 4 degree loft gaps). Then maybe adding a really high bounce 56 and a low bounce 60 in traditional wedges to compliment the three preceding wedges (geared primarily to full shots). This would be a bit extreme to most at five wedges (including the X Forged PW at 45), but an intriguing idea (to me at least - someone really wanting to excel from 150 yards and in). If I decided to do this, there would be a significant gap from the X Forged 4 iron (stock at 23) and my Fairway Wood at 16). Though, I am really not too concerned about that in regard to impact on scoring. I just really enjoy hitting a 2 iron (or equivalent) off the tee and would miss that (I could get by hitting the 4 iron on shorter par 4s though). However, now that I’ve discovered how much I like the Mizuno T20 wedges, I have all but dismissed this idea (just thought I’d share since it was my original plan).

After receiving suggestions here, my current plan is to order Callaway X Forged 4-PW (stock lofts 23 to 45) and three Mizuno T20 Wedges (49/06 - 54/12 - 59/05). Game these for a while and then adjust if needed to really dial it in later. Really looking forward to getting back into the game!

Thanks for everyone’s input!

For the close-in clubs: No guarantee the X.F PW will mesh exactly in yardage gaps with the Mizuno T20s. But, you can figure this out when the clubs arrive, bend a degree up or down in loft to get fit.

And, if you get seven X Forged and three T20s, you'll still have room for a bridge club - 2i, hybrid, utility club - between 4i and 4W.

(Also: do you plan to hit full shots with SW and LW?)

I agree about the no guaranteed meshing from X Forged irons to T20 wedges, though one thing that really draws me to the T20s is they feel closer to the extension of any iron set than I’ve experienced with previous models (mostly used Cleveland RTGs in the past). We’ll see though... I will have to update this post later with that feedback.

And I’m pretty much locked in on going with seven X Forged irons and three T20 wedges (to allow for a driving iron) as you suggest. And after just watching a recent YouTube review from TXG Tour Experience Golf, I’m now intrigued by the idea of going with the Callaway Epic Forged 4 iron (stock 18 - weakened to 19) for that purpose (funny they call it a 4 iron at 18 degree loft I know). I am too new to this forum to post the link to the video, though it’s a simple search and find (for any that are interested). The testers were hitting it around 270.

And to answer your last question, yes I do plan to hit hit full shots with the SW and LW when warranted, though I generally dial back my tempo a slight bit with all wedges over 50 degrees (previously played Project X 6.0s in my wedges compared to 6.5 in my irons for that reason). Curious why you asked? The 5 degree gaps? Or maybe the differences in bounce mentioned above? I definitely like having at least one higher bounced wedge for sand and heavy rough. And I always bounce back and forth (no pun intended) on how low to go with bounce with my LW (I do not take large divots with any club and I definitely like to have something for tight lies).

i play the xforged and would suggest playing them out on the course first and then tweaking them to your liking. Messing with the lofts is also going to open and close the face. The only gap I wasn't happy with was from xforged P to my MD4 50* wedge. So I just adjusted my 50* wedge. It could've been because my irons have different shafts then my wedges. But i figure it's easier to adjust the loft on my wedge than to start experimenting with different shafts.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m curious, what shafts are you playing in your irons and wedges? Also, what is your carry distances with the X Forged PW and the MD4 50 (before and after adjusting it)? Lastly, what adjustments did you make to the MD4 50?

Good feedback everyone!

went with kbs 610 wedge shafts since theyre 125g shafts. I play the ctaper 125's in my irons, so just wanted a similar weighted shaft.

my xforged P wedge is my 125ish yd club.

i was hitting the 50* md4 120 yds on an indoor launch monitor and thought i'd be okay. But was only hitting around 105 yds out on the course. maybe it arrived from callaway around 51-52 degrees? I duuno LOL. Turned it down to 49ish degrees, and it's now my 115 club. I hit the 56* around 100 yds.

I’d bend them 1 degree weak at least. Reduces offset and bounce won’t be noticeable on the longer irons. On the 9-pw you might notice it but I’m of the opinion that bouncce is your friend.

This was my initial instinctive thought as well (definitely prefer more traditional lofts and minimal offset). Bounce was my only concern, though I agree it could be beneficial as long as the stock PW isn’t any more than 6 degrees bounce (frustrates me that Callaway doesn’t appear to disclose that info). Although, bounce can be relative to design (meaning all bounce numbers won’t universally perform the same anyway).

I’d really like to go 2 degrees weak from 6-PW, though I think I’ve been convinced to buy stock lofts and bend/gap them after getting used to them. I’ll be a range rat for the months to come (my game is extremely rusty and after a four year hiatus I want to make some changes I could never fully commit to when playing regularly).

Does anyone know the tip specs on the x forged 18 irons? I just bought a used set with project x 6.0 shafts but I need higher launching shafts. I can’t seem to find online what they are. It seems like they may be .355 but not certain

0.355. I have had two sets reshafted.

Choosing The Right Golf Club For Your Game

Callaway Golf Certified Pre-Owned stocks a wide range of pre-owned Callaway Golf, Odyssey Golf and Odyssey Toulon golf clubs. On every product page on the site, there is a grid which displays all of the available stock of that specific club we have for sale. The grid features a number of columns which describe the specification of the golf club, starting with 'Head Hand' on the left-hand side (which always displays either 'Left Hand' or 'Right Hand'). The right-hand side of the grid displays the condition options we have available, from 'Like New' through to 'Average' condition.

Choosing the correct loft in your driver is critical in producing a proper launch angle. Golfers with a slower swing speed will benefit from a higher lofted driver (as it helps to get the ball in the air more easily) and the result will be higher trajectory, longer carry, and greater distance. Look at your average swing speed in order to determine the proper loft for your driver:

*Most Callaway Golf drivers come with a loft setting of 9, 10.5 or 12 degrees of loft, and can be adjusted to either -1 or +2 degrees of loft.

Shaft Flex:

Choosing the right shaft flex for your game is crucial: without the correct flex, golfers will have a harder time making solid contact with the ball on a consistent basis, affecting the direction and distance of their shots. As a general guide, you can determine your shaft flex based on your clubhead speed:

*If you're at the lower end of your clubhead speed category, select a shaft weight at the lower end of the scale, and vice versa.

Shaft Length:

Choosing the correct length of shaft will ensure you have the optimum level of control over your driver. The standard length of a driver is 45.75'' for men and 44.75'' for women. Your height and your level of control over the driver will determine the correct shaft length for you. A shorter golfer should go down 0.5'' to 1''. A golfer with less control over their driver might also consider going down by 0.5'' to 1''.

Shaft Material:

Irons come with either graphite or steel shafts. Golfers with a lower swing speed would generally perform better with a graphite shaft, as it can help with getting the ball in the air.

Choosing the right shaft flex in your irons is vital in making solid contact with the ball on a consistent basis. With the correct flex, golfers will see more accuracy and longer distance on the shots. Follow this guide for determining which flex and weight is right for your game:

Head Lie Angle:

Getting the correct lie angle of your iron will ensure the position of the club head at address and impact will strike the ground, rather than the heel or toe. A club which is too upright for a golfer will cause the clubface to close, resulting in a pull or a hook (for right-handed players), which a club which is too flat will hit the ground with the toe, causing the clubface to open and resulting in a push or a slice (for right-handed players).

Use this guide to determine which club length and lie is right for you, based on your height and wrist-to-floor measurement:

Selecting the correct club length will ensure the golfer is in the address position which can be maintained throughout the golf swing. Too long a club length will cause a shorter player to stand too upright, while too short a club length will cause a taller player to stoop over the club.

The degrees of head loft in a wedge determine which type of wedge it is. The higher degree of loft in a wedge, the higher the shot.

Head Bounce:

Wedges come with either graphite or steel shafts, although steel shafts are more common. Golfers with a lower swing speed would generally perform better with a graphite shaft, as it can help with getting the ball in the air.

Callaway X Forged CB Irons Review

More in reviews:.

Wilson Staff Model ZM Wedges

50 Words or Less

The Callaway X Forged CB Irons are beautiful and have stellar, soft feel.  Tungsten weighting makes them surprisingly easy to hit.  Plenty of ball speed.  Strong trajectory.

Introduction

In a fall that’s absolutely packed with great players irons, the Callaway X Forged CB created plenty of buzz of its own.  This is an iron with a strong pedigree that still has a unique look.  I tested a set to see how its performance stacked up against the best in class.

Like many recent players irons, the Callaway X Forged CB irons aim to blend a traditional shape with something new and eye-catching .  In this case, that something new is the external tungsten weight screwed into the back of the head.  This focal point is balanced with minimal branding, a simple cavity, and a clean, angular shape.

At address, the X Forged CB looks gorgeous .  The face is compact with just a little offset, and the top line is thinner than many of its peers.  For the high end player (or any player with high end taste), this is the kind of club that makes you want to head straight to the range.

Sound & Feel

The body of the X Forged CB irons are, as the name suggests, forged from 1025 mild carbon steel.  However, the iron is actually a mix of materials including metal injection molded (MIM’d) tungsten.  Though this construction is very high tech, the feel at impact is decidedly classic .

With a Tour-quality golf ball, impact is whisper quiet.  This enhances the soft, buttery feel off the center of the face .  What surprised me was the gentle feedback.  With a players iron, I expect a sharper rebuke when I miss the center, but the X Forged CB firmed up only a little.  This was an early hint at the surprising stability and forgiveness.

Performance

Thanks to record-setting warmth in Chicago, I was able to spend time with the Callaway X Forged CB irons both indoors and out.  Each setting shined a light on a different part of this set’s strong performance.

On the launch monitor, the thing that stood out was how consistent the numbers were .  That starts with ball speed that doesn’t jump up and down between pure and mishit shots.  This club has plenty of speed on center, and it retains the vast majority of its speed even on fairly bad misses.  The launch and spin numbers are also robust, particularly on thin strikes.

When testing outdoors, I was struck by the strength of the ball flight and the way the Project X IO shafts compliment this set.  Compared to similar irons, the X Forged CB launches the ball on a more boring trajectory .  There’s ample spin to hold a green, but the spin is low enough that shot shapes tend to stay fairly small unless you make a Bubba Watson-style swing.

I started my testing with the short irons and saw the set’s strong ball flight.  This made me wonder how practical the long irons would be for a regular player.  When I got to the 4I, I was pleased to find that the modern-traditional lofts and Project X IO shafts [review HERE ] help to elevate the long irons to playable trajectories .  Any player with the ability to game this set should not be scared to at least try the 4I.

The Callaway X Forged CB have carved out their own space in this season of players irons by blending excellent forgiveness with alluring looks.  This set allows skilled players to choose their own trajectory, defaulting to a strong, penetrating ball flight.

Matt, thanks for the review. Any more insight into IO shaft? And any other models (project x or others) you think are similar?

' src=

I’ll have a full review of the Project X IO in the near future.

' src=

How do these compare to the ZX7? Is trajectory the biggest difference? Thanks

I have a full review of the ZX7 here: https://pluggedingolf.com/srixon-zx7-irons-review/ The X Forged CB has a slightly stronger trajectory, the ZX7 is a little more forgiving.

' src=

When you say forgiving are you speaking in terms of strictly ball speed off center hits? I don’t need any help with distance I’m more curious which one spins less. I want to shape the ball but I want something slightly less responsive than my current iron mp18 Mmc. I strike the ball well and I know what direction it’s going to move but sometimes it just gets really exaggerated.

Ball speed on off center hits is part of it. I also consider what a club does with thin strikes, stability on toe/heel strikes, robustness of launch and spin. If you’re looking for something that specific, all I can recommend is getting fit. With a few possible exceptions, most of the irons in this category are going to be so close that it will come down to fit and how the club works with your swing. And shaft fit.

' src=

I have a set of older X forged irons and I hit a real high trajectory and my ball rolls maybe 2 feet . Do these new X forged irons flatten out the trajectory at all because I loose too much distance.

I have no way of knowing how these will compare to your current irons, but, as I said in the review, these irons tend to be a little lower launching than other current players irons.

' src=

Been gaming these for about 3 weeks now. Went with the MMT graphite and could not be happier. Agree on all points regarding feel, looks, forgiveness, workability and distance. I went with 5-PW but am thinking about picking up a gap wedge also but they are backordered for 4 -6 weeks.

' src=

I just got fitted for these with modus tour 120 X shafts… I have only hit the 7 iron so far to be fair … and it’s to cold to golf where I live until spring but I did love these. Just as you said the miss hits were very forgiving and distances were consistent … I needed an iron that brought my spin down a bit since on my last set ( 10 years old ) my ball flight tended to balloon a bit. I am a 5 handicap btw

' src=

Hello – How would you compare these irons to the Taylormade P7MC and P770?

They’re not in the same category as the P770. Compared to the P7MC, they’re quite similar. I prefer the Callaway on looks and feel. There are full reviews of both on the site.

' src=

Great reviews as always! I am looking at buying these as well and was curious what do you mean when saying they are not in the same category as the P770? Meaning the latter is less blade than the Callaway or the Taylormade’s are way better in your mind? Thanks!

The 770 is a hollow body iron which the X Forged is not, so it’s not correct, in my opinion, to compare them apples to apples. I didn’t mean it to say one is better, just that they’re different.

' src=

How do these compare to Callaway’s Apex 19?

The Apex is slightly larger and more forgiving.

' src=

Sounds like they’re almost the perfect set of irons!

' src=

Are these comparable (forgiveness wise ) to something like a 718 ap2

' src=

Matt— curious how you would compare these to the ‘18 x forged in terms of shape and feel? I loved the ‘18 model so wondering if these are more similar. When I tested the previous model the sole designed just worked really well for my delivery. One of the better feeling irons in this category. Thanks!

It’s been about three years since I hit the ’18 version, so I’ll defer to whatever I said in my review: https://pluggedingolf.com/callaway-x-forged-irons-review/

' src=

Matt, what is the difference in the shafts on a Forged CB Callaway clubs.

I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you’re asking.

' src=

Matt-I am a fairly good ball striker, I currently play Titleist 712 MB’s, my driver swing speed is in the low 120s, Would you suggest the Callaway Apex Pro 21 or the X Forged CB 21?

As always, I would recommend getting a fitting. If you’re asking what’s most similar to your current irons, it would be the X Forged CB.

' src=

Why are the price per club $40 more than the new Apex MB or Apex Pros? What am I missing that would cause a bum of $40 per club?

' src=

Great Review. I’m an 18 handicap. Currently play the Apex Pro (original version that came out in 2014). Curious if someone of my caliber could game these?

I hit them in a golf shop and loved them, but sometimes i feel like those are juiced to make you purchase.

Additionally, are the new Apex Pro ’21 or these x-forged more forgiving?

I haven’t hit the Apex Pro yet, but I expect them to be slightly more forgiving than the X Forged CB.

I would never tell someone they can’t play an iron because of their handicap. If you hit them and enjoy them, play them. With regard to the monitors in the store, take your own irons in and hit them with the demos side by side. That way you can see if the yardages match what you see on the course.

Thanks Matt!

' src=

Was thinking of doing a combo set with the X forged CB and the APEX MB. What are your thoughts on weakening the X forged by 1 degree to add some spin and close the gaps between the clubs. I am not in need of distance. -JOhn

Sounds like an excellent idea.

' src=

Really impressed with these irons. Recently bought a set of 2021 T100-S irons that I was fit for and put the CB X-forged head-to-head with them. Callaways were more forgiving and more consistent in terms of dispersion and distance control, which kind of blew my mind. Feel is fantastic, a little more off-set then I’m used to, but they’re not “game improvement” type offset. Definitely worth trying out, especially with the Project X IO shafts.

' src=

I currently play Mizuno MP-18 MMC. Would these be much harder to hit or pretty much in the same class?

They’ll be pretty similar.

Brenda draughn.

January 8, 2024

Explore the and performance of Callaway X Forged Irons. With advanced technology, customization options, and positive reviews, these irons offer enhanced control, accuracy, and distance for a versatile golfing experience.

Features of Callaway X Forged Irons

When it comes to the Callaway X Forged Irons, there are several standout features that make them an exceptional choice for golfers of all skill levels. From the precision forged construction to the multi-material medallion, each aspect of these irons has been carefully designed to enhance performance and provide an unforgettable experience on the course.

Precision Forged Construction

One of the key features of the Callaway X Forged Irons is their precision forged construction. Using advanced manufacturing techniques, these irons are meticulously crafted to ensure consistent performance and exceptional feel. The forging process involves shaping the clubhead from a single piece of high-quality steel, resulting in a solid and durable iron that delivers consistent performance swing after swing.

Tour-Inspired Shaping

The tour-inspired shaping of the Callaway X Forged Irons is another standout feature. These irons have a sleek and compact profile that appeals to both professional golfers and avid enthusiasts. The compact shape allows for precise shot control and the ability to work the ball in any direction. Whether you’re hitting a fade or a draw, these irons provide the versatility and control needed to shape your shots with confidence.

Tungsten Weighting

Callaway has incorporated tungsten weighting into the design of the X Forged Irons to optimize the center of gravity (CG) placement. Tungsten is a dense material that allows for precise weight distribution, resulting in improved forgiveness and a higher launch angle. The strategic placement of tungsten in the clubhead helps to stabilize the irons at impact, minimizing the effects of off-center hits and maximizing distance and accuracy.

Progressive CG Placement

Another feature that sets the Callaway X Forged Irons apart is their progressive CG placement. This means that the CG is strategically positioned differently in each iron within the set. The long irons have a lower CG to promote a higher launch and increased distance, while the short irons have a higher CG for enhanced control and accuracy. This progressive CG placement ensures optimal performance throughout the entire set, regardless of the shot at hand.

Multi-Material Medallion

The inclusion of a multi-material medallion in the Callaway X Forged Irons further enhances their performance and feel. This medallion is made from a combination of materials, including aluminum and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The medallion dampens unwanted vibrations at impact, providing a soft and satisfying feel that golfers crave. Additionally, the multi-material construction helps to optimize sound and feedback, allowing golfers to better assess the quality of their shots.

(Note: The following sections will cover the , technology, customization options, and reviews of the Callaway X Forged Irons. Please refer to the “reference” for more information.)

From enhanced feel and feedback to increased distance and forgiveness, the Callaway X Forged Irons deliver outstanding performance.

Enhanced Feel and Feedback

One of the standout features of the Callaway X Forged Irons is their ability to provide golfers with enhanced feel and feedback. This is achieved through the precision forged construction, which ensures that each iron is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. The forged construction creates a solid and consistent feel at impact, allowing golfers to have a better sense of how they are striking the ball. This enhanced feel and feedback can greatly improve a golfer’s ability to make adjustments to their swing and improve their overall performance on the course.

Improved Control and Accuracy

Another benefit of the Callaway X Forged Irons is the improved control and accuracy they offer. The tour-inspired shaping of these irons allows for precise shot-making, giving golfers the ability to shape their shots exactly how they want. The progressive CG placement also contributes to improved control, as it optimizes the placement of weight throughout the set to promote a consistent and balanced swing. With these irons, golfers can have confidence in their ability to control the ball and hit their targets with precision.

Increased Distance and Forgiveness

When it comes to distance and forgiveness, the Callaway X Forged Irons truly excel. The combination of the VFT Face Technology and the 360 Face Cup creates a powerful and fast ball speed, resulting in increased distance on every shot. This is particularly beneficial for golfers who want to maximize their distance off the tee or when approaching the green. Additionally, the tungsten weighting and suspended tungsten core contribute to the forgiveness of these irons. The strategic placement of weight in the clubhead helps to stabilize the iron at impact, reducing the effects of mis-hits and providing golfers with added forgiveness.

Versatility for Shot-Shaping

For golfers who enjoy shaping their shots, the Callaway X Forged Irons offer excellent versatility. The tour-inspired shaping of these irons allows for easy manipulation of the clubface, enabling golfers to hit a variety of shot shapes with precision. Whether it’s a gentle fade or a powerful draw, these irons can accommodate the needs of golfers who like to work the ball and add creativity to their game. The versatility offered by the Callaway X Forged Irons can truly elevate a golfer’s shot-shaping abilities and provide them with a competitive edge on the course.

Confidence-Boosting Performance

Last but not least, the Callaway X Forged Irons are designed to boost golfer’s confidence on the course. With their exceptional feel, control, distance, forgiveness, and shot-shaping capabilities, these irons instill a sense of trust and belief in the golfer’s abilities. Knowing that they have the tools to perform at their best can have a significant impact on a golfer’s mindset and overall performance. The Callaway X Forged Irons provide golfers with the confidence they need to attack the course and tackle any challenge that comes their way.

Technology in Callaway X Forged Irons

The Callaway X Forged Irons are packed with advanced technology that enhances performance and delivers exceptional results on the golf course. Let’s dive into the key technological that make these irons stand out from the competition.

20V Grooves for Spin Control

One of the standout features of the Callaway X Forged Irons is the incorporation of 20V grooves. These grooves are designed to maximize spin control, giving you the ability to shape your shots with precision and accuracy. The advanced groove design ensures consistent spin rates across the entire face of the club, even on off-center hits. Whether you’re looking to add backspin for approach shots or control the ball around the greens, the 20V grooves provide the necessary control to elevate your game.

VFT Face Technology for Fast Ball Speed

Callaway is renowned for its innovative face technology, and the X Forged Irons are no exception. These irons feature Variable Face Thickness (VFT) technology, which optimizes ball speed and forgiveness across the entire face. The strategically positioned VFT pattern allows for maximum flex and trampoline effect, resulting in explosive ball speeds and increased distance. With the Callaway X Forged Irons, you can expect consistent and powerful shots, even on mishits.

Urethane Microspheres for Enhanced Feel

Feel is a crucial aspect of any iron, and the Callaway X Forged Irons excel in this department. The incorporation of urethane microspheres within the clubhead enhances the overall feel and feedback at impact. These microspheres absorb unwanted vibrations, providing a soft and solid feel that resonates with golfers of all skill levels. The enhanced feel not only adds to the enjoyment of the game but also allows for better shot control and improved consistency.

Suspended Tungsten Core for Optimal CG Placement

Optimizing the center of gravity (CG) is essential for achieving optimal launch conditions and overall . The Callaway X Forged Irons utilize a suspended tungsten core to precisely position the CG for each iron in the set. This strategic CG placement allows for a higher launch angle, increased forgiveness, and improved control. Whether you’re looking to hit towering iron shots into greens or control the trajectory on approach shots, the suspended tungsten core provides the necessary stability and performance to elevate your game.

360 Face Cup for Consistent Distance

Consistent distance is a key factor for any golfer, and the Callaway X Forged Irons deliver in this aspect with their 360 Face Cup technology. This innovative design creates a flexible face that promotes faster ball speeds across a larger portion of the face. The result is improved distance and forgiveness, even on off-center hits. With the 360 Face Cup, you can expect reliable yardage gaps throughout the set, allowing for better distance control and scoring opportunities.

Customization Options for Callaway X Forged Irons

When it comes to choosing the right golf irons, play a crucial role in ensuring that the clubs perfectly suit your game. Callaway understands this need and offers a range of customization options for their X Forged Irons. Let’s take a closer look at the different aspects that you can customize to enhance your performance on the course.

Shaft Options

The shaft of a golf club is a vital component that directly influences the feel, control, and distance of your shots. Callaway X Forged Irons provide various shaft options to cater to different swing speeds, preferences, and playing styles. Whether you have a smooth and controlled swing or a powerful and aggressive one, you can find a shaft that suits your unique needs.

  • Some of the shaft options available for the Callaway X Forged Irons include:
  • Project X Rifle Shaft : This shaft is known for its stability and consistency, offering a smooth feel and great control. It is suitable for players who prefer a mid-launch and mid-spin trajectory.
  • True Temper Dynamic Gold Shaft : This shaft is a favorite among many professional golfers for its low trajectory and excellent control. It provides a solid feel and is ideal for players who prioritize accuracy and precision.
  • KBS Tour Shaft : Known for its smooth feel and responsive feedback, the KBS Tour shaft offers a mid-launch and mid-spin trajectory. It is a versatile option that suits a wide range of players.
  • Nippon Modus 3 Shaft : This shaft is designed to provide a unique combination of stability, consistency, and a soft feel. It offers a mid-launch and mid-spin trajectory, making it suitable for players who value both distance and control.

Choosing the right shaft for your Callaway X Forged Irons can greatly impact your performance on the course. It is recommended to get fitted by a professional club fitter to determine the best shaft option for your game.

Grip Options

The grip of a golf club is the only point of contact between the player and the club, making it essential for a comfortable and secure hold. Callaway offers a variety of grip options for their X Forged Irons, allowing you to find the perfect grip that suits your hand size and grip preference.

  • Some of the grip options available for the Callaway X Forged Irons include:
  • Golf Pride Tour Velvet : This grip is one of the most popular choices among golfers worldwide. It offers a firm yet comfortable feel, providing excellent control and feedback.
  • Lamkin Crossline : Known for its durability and tackiness, the Lamkin Crossline grip offers a secure and confident hold. It is a great choice for players who prefer a softer and more cushioned feel.

With different grip options available, you can choose the one that feels most comfortable and suits your playing style. Remember that a proper grip allows for better control and consistency in your shots.

Custom Club Lengths

The length of your golf clubs can significantly affect your swing mechanics and overall performance. Callaway understands this and offers custom club length options for their X Forged Irons, allowing you to optimize your setup for maximum comfort and consistency.

  • The custom club length options available for the Callaway X Forged Irons include:
  • Standard Length : This is the default length for the X Forged Irons, designed to suit the average golfer’s height and swing mechanics. It provides a balanced setup and is a good starting point for most players.
  • +0.25 inches : If you are taller or have longer arms, adding 0.25 inches to the standard length can help you achieve a more comfortable and efficient swing.
  • -0.25 inches : On the other hand, if you are shorter or have shorter arms, subtracting 0.25 inches from the standard length can promote better control and accuracy in your shots.

Customizing the club length ensures that you have the correct posture and alignment at address, allowing for a more natural and consistent swing. It is essential to consult with a professional club fitter to determine the ideal club length for your game.

Lie Angle Adjustments

The lie angle of a golf club refers to the angle between the club’s sole and the shaft. It plays a crucial role in determining the club’s impact on the ball, including direction and trajectory. Callaway offers lie angle adjustments for their X Forged Irons, enabling you to fine-tune the clubs to match your swing characteristics.

  • The lie angle adjustment options available for the Callaway X Forged Irons include:
  • Standard Lie : This is the default lie angle for the X Forged Irons, designed to suit the average golfer’s swing mechanics and posture.
  • Upward Adjustment : If you tend to hit shots that veer to the left (for right-handed golfers), an upward lie angle adjustment can help promote a straighter ball flight.
  • Downward Adjustment : Conversely, if you tend to hit shots that veer to the right (for right-handed golfers), a downward lie angle adjustment can assist in correcting your ball flight.

By making lie angle adjustments, you can ensure that the club’s sole makes proper contact with the turf, leading to crisper and more accurate shots. It is recommended to work with a professional club fitter to determine the optimal lie angle for your swing.

Loft Adjustments

The loft of a golf club refers to the angle between the clubface and the vertical plane. It directly affects the trajectory and distance of your shots. Callaway X Forged Irons offer loft adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune the clubs to match your desired ball flight and distance gaps.

  • The loft adjustment options available for the Callaway X Forged Irons include:
  • Standard Loft : This is the default loft for the X Forged Irons, designed to provide a balanced combination of distance and control.
  • Strong Loft : If you are looking to maximize distance, opting for a stronger loft can help launch the ball higher and achieve longer shots. This option is suitable for players who generate high swing speeds and desire extra distance.
  • Weak Loft : On the other hand, if you want to optimize control and trajectory, choosing a weaker loft can help lower the ball flight and provide more accuracy. This option is ideal for players who prioritize shot shaping and precision.

By adjusting the loft of your X Forged Irons, you can fine-tune your ball flight and distance gaps, allowing for more consistent and versatile performance on the course. It is advisable to consult with a professional club fitter to determine the optimal loft adjustments for your game.

The suspended tungsten core optimizes the center of gravity (CG) placement, resulting in improved stability and consistency in ball flight. The 360 Face Cup technology also contributes to consistent distance across the clubface, regardless of where the ball is struck.

Customer satisfaction ratings for the Callaway X Forged Irons have been overwhelmingly positive. Golfers appreciate the combination of feel, control, and forgiveness that these irons offer. Many users have reported that their game has improved significantly since switching to these irons, with notable increases in both distance and accuracy. The customization options available, such as shaft options, grip options, and adjustability for club length, lie angle, and loft, allow golfers to tailor these irons to their specific preferences and playing style. This level of customization has contributed to high customer satisfaction, as players feel confident and comfortable with their personalized set of Callaway X Forged Irons.

Pros and Cons Analysis

An objective analysis of the Callaway X Forged Irons reveals several pros and cons. On the positive side, the precision forged construction provides exceptional control and feedback, allowing golfers to fine-tune their shots. The tungsten weighting enhances forgiveness and distance, making these irons suitable for players of varying skill levels. The technology incorporated into the irons, such as the 20V grooves, VFT face , urethane microspheres, suspended tungsten core, and 360 Face Cup, ensures optimal performance and consistent results. The customization options available also add to the appeal of these irons.

On the downside, some golfers may find the Callaway X Forged Irons to be less forgiving compared to game improvement irons. The compact head design and thinner topline may require a higher level of skill and consistency in ball striking. Additionally, these irons are priced at a premium level, which may deter budget-conscious players.

Overall, the Callaway X Forged Irons have received overwhelmingly positive reviews and feedback from both professionals and average golfers alike. Their performance, feel, and customization options make them a top choice for golfers seeking a high-quality set of irons that can enhance their game and provide a satisfying experience on the course.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons Review

Martin Hopley

OK, this isn't funny any more. I think Callaway is stalking my golfing life.

They are recreating happy memories from my golf bag, improving them yet keeping them subtly familiar and I am starting to lose track of time.

I felt warm and fuzzy at the Steelhead X-14s returning as the Steelhead XR irons . Then the rebirth of the Steelhead Plus as the Steelhead XR fairway brought back memories of that classic blue head.

And now this. The Callaway X-Forged 2018 irons.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

I mean, they have even stayed true to the name started by the X-Forged 2009 irons I dated for a while. Yes I know they also did a 2013 X-Forged, which looks very similar to the 2018 version, but the 2009 version was the first for me.

The rear of the sole features the now familiar curved edge that we first saw on the Apex Pro 16 irons and size wise, the X-Forged 2018 is very similar to this, just with a smaller muscle back in the centre of the cavity.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

Recently I had been worried that this style of simple, forged cavity back iron had gone to the great golf course in the sky, but thankfully Callaway, and others, have resurrected it and the X-Forged cavity is clean with the required amount of peripheral weighting to make it a little more forgiving than the Apex MB blade .

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

What always attracted me to the original X-Forged was how it went through the turf and the 2018 version continues this fine trend and is excellent off even the firmest lies.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

The design of the head and the use of Callaway's 20V grooves on the face aims to maximise control and reduce the likelihood of fliers from the rough.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

The lofts through the bag are fairly normal for irons these days so they aren't too strong because the X-Forged is about control more than distance.

The lofts are a fraction stronger these days then the X-Forged 2013, so it was no surprise to see the 1° stronger 7-iron go slightly further than the Apex MB iron from the same 86 mph swing speed.

Callaway X-Forged MB 2018 Irons

For those who need a bit more forgiveness in a compact blade head, then the Apex Pro 16 irons offer that from the deeper cavity and give a deeper feel as a result. As you can see, this also results in a higher level of spin and peak height which in turn affects the distance, so that is your trade off depending on swing speed.

The deeper CG of the cavity back added spin to give a slightly higher flight, but the extra ball speed from the straighter face gave the X-Forged the edge. However the difference was small enough to make blending the two sets a possibility.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

The feel is very good and relatively light at impact if you are used to irons with a larger cavity back. There doesn't seem to be as much oomph behind the ball at impact, but that is not what the X-Forged 2018 are designed for.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

Control is what they are made for and this is very good and the slightly larger head and more forgivness gives you a possible option to blend the 4 and 5 iron with the Apex MB set as they are the same loft.

Now I may be looking through rose tinted glasses here, but the 2018 X-Forged has all the DNA of the original in a slightly smaller package and is one of the best forged blade hybrids out there. The feel and particularly the turf interaction are stand out features and if you are single figure golfer who likes their blades then the X-Forged are well worth checking out.

Callaway X-Forged 2018 Irons

But just one last thing to my friends at Callaway. Please stop this. No more going back in time.

Unless you can take my handicap back in time too...

Easy to control,a nice soft feel off the face, very forgiving also. I would highly recommend getting a set.

Great irons. More forgiving than u think!

A week ago I went to demo days at my home course. I went in looking to get fitted for Apex combo set. I was handed a 2018 X-Forged iron and WOW. So I made my own combo set. Apex CF16 4 to 6 iron, X-Forged 7 to pw. No gap wedge so Mack Daddy 4 at 50,54,58 S-grind wedges. TT x95 reg shafts one deg up and golf pride cp2 grips. I will have to adjust the lofts a bit but so happy for my set.

|Just recently purchased these, switching over my true blasted Titleist 714 MB irons, can say I love the changes Callaway has made. I am hitting the ball the same distance with a little more forgiveness and workability. Clubs feel great, react well to all surfaces as well as tight lies and hard ground. Very few fliers out of the rough, just a great golf club.

Dang, another forged cavity back to drool over!!!!!!

So far so good, I like how they sit and the feel of the club face.

Hit both MB and X-Forged and they are easy to control and give you tremendous feedback. Played 2013’s and have had 716 AP2 for couple of years but they haven’t given me that confidence and feel - especially hard to work. X-Forged or combo will be in my bag soon. Playing to 6hcp.

I hit several shots with the 7 iron... phenomenal feel, was able to work the ball lows, highs, right and lefts, sole to turf interaction was outstanding. Can't wait to get my set. Currently using X-Forged 2013 set best forged iron ever by Callaway, but think this will surpass.

Callaway X Forged Editor Review

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Callaway X Forged are some sweet players irons. We are excited to have them in play. As we said in the original article about these heads: What’s better than a forged muscleback iron at address? Nothing, except maybe an iron that looks the same, plays the same and has more forgiveness. That is what we have found here with these new-for-2013 X Forged. Looks and feels like a MB but has he forgiveness of a cavity back.

Pros: Killer looks and soft buttery feel. We were suprised that a cavity back as large as the X Forged could produce such a great feel. Also the sole design has more bounce than many modern forged irons today. Roger Cleveland and the Callaway designers like to add a lot of bounce to their irons and wedges. Performance is also very good. Long irons were high and the shorter irons were flatter.

Cons: We wish there were no badges in the cavity. Callaway added two small badges that we thought at first were part of the forgings until we looked harder.

Bottom Line: Looking for a players iron that looks great, has a forged pure feel and performs as good as you can get forged iron to perform? This is one on a very short list we recommend for you launching this year. Performance packed into a great design.

Looks and Feel

The chrome finish on these irons looks fantastic. The cavity with two small badges and the face are both in a satin chrome. Combination of the shiny chrome and the satin cavity make these irons look great. You will also notice tightly spaced grooves that Callaway has been using since the groove rule regulated the size of the groove. Callaway began to space the groove tighter to allow the players to be more aggressive in shot shaping.

callaway x-forged 2013

Aesthetically, the 2013 X Forged look more like Callaway’s musclebacks as well. They have a shorter blade length than the RAZR X Forged, but it’s not quite as short as the musclebacks. The 2013 X Forged irons also lose the high heel and sharp toe that gave the RAZR X Forged a polarizing appearance, opting for a face profile closer to the musclebacks.

“Pretty much every player that puts the muscle back iron down like the way it looks,” Williams said.

The heel to toe is compact to help move players that are used to using muscle backs into these cavity backs. We learned that Callaway has attempted to create a PGA Tour-inspired forged cavity back designed by Roger Cleveland that offers cleaner looks and better performance than its predecessor, the Callaway RAZR X Forged.

callaway x forged

All you will have to do is demo this set to understand why we rated it so high for feel. During testing we compared the X Forged to Mizuno’s MP-64, Epon’s 302, Scratch Golf’s irons, Miura’s 501 and also the current cast offerings on the market. We will not say they felt any softer than the Mizuno MP-64’s, but we can say they are comparable. Don’t believe what we are saying? Go and see for yourself and demo a set.

There was a “black and white” difference between these and the cast offerings. Cast gave us a click sound vs. a thud and also the cast was not as sensitive to provide feedback as these forgings were. The solid feel at impact left you with a clear understanding why some golfers prefer to play forged. The forgings will provide you a clear report with the slightest hit off the sweetspot. An instant report card about the hit.

We believe that the small pocket badges in the cavity helped offset the reduced mass behind the sweetspot to allow a softer feel. More mass behind the sweetspot typically translates to a softer feel at impact. Callaway has for years used different polymers in the badge construction to optimize the “feel” and “sound” of an iron. Callaway does this typically in cast offerings. So when you see them appear in these higher end forged CB’s we chatter around the water cooler that this was an effort to make them feel even better. Possibly to tune them to satisfy the very picky Tour players that can feel the most minor differences.

Performance

What we saw in testing on Flightscope was very predicable distance control as well as some great trajectory numbers. Long irons were going higher and the shorter irons were flighting lower. Spin numbers were average and on the higher long irons we were seeing some great numbers that suggested they dialed the designs in right and with purpose.

According to Williams, Callaway’s recent musclebacks have been a hit because of what the company is calling CG Height progression. CG (center of gravity) Height Progression puts the center of gravity lower in the long irons for the higher trajectory that Tour pros want. It also places the CG higher in the short irons for a flatter trajectory. Callaway’s previous forged cavity back irons, the RAZR X Forged, had the opposite CG progression. The center of gravity was actually the lowest in the short irons.

Callaway also got feedback from Tour pros that the RAZR X Forged irons had a tendency to dig through impact, while the muscleback irons went more smoothly through the turf. So the new X Forged were designed to have what Williams called “a slightly wider muscleback sole.”

Here is a photo of the new Callaway X Forged on the left and last years RAZR X Forged on the right.

x forged vs razr forged

This is part of the review that is more objective for us. GolfWRX like to make sure to blend in facts and objectivity to our editorial reviews.

That is why we are trying to distance ourselves from very subjective criteria. Callaway designed a very forgiving sole design here. The bounce on the irons are more than a typical set you will see in this category. This isn’t new for Roger Cleveland and the design crew at Callaway. Here is a picture of the generous bounce on the Callaway X Forged 7 iron:

x forged sole

As an example, the bounce on the Callaway X Forged starts in the 3-iron at 3 degrees and increases by a degree for every club ending at 10 degrees for the PW. Compared to the Mizuno MP-64 bounce progression starting at 2 degrees for the 3-iron and ends at 6 degrees for the PW. That doesn’t sound like a lot but four degrees of added bounce or a difference from 6 degrees and 10 degrees for the X Forged on the PW is a lot. So much you will have to consider that when you buy the gap and sand wedge to match the set.

The X Forged irons go farther than the RAZR X irons as well. They do so, according to Williams, for two reasons:

  • The clubs have one degree stronger lofts (20-degree 3 iron, 46-degree pitching wedge)
  • CG height progression

Despite what many believe about modern iron design, the lofts were not strengthened simply to make the ball go farther. Stronger lofts are a result of Tour feedback. Williams said that Callaway had set the lofts on its Tour irons based on Tour trends. And it’s vital for Callaway to follow the loft trends on Tour, since changing the loft of an iron also reduces the bounce on an iron, which can lead to digging. Bending an iron one-degree strong won’t change a iron’s response to the turf that much, but bending a club stronger than that can certainly change things.

“We really design a forged iron product like the X Forged for the Tour,” Williams said. “But we know if we get them right, they will work for amateurs as well.”

CG Height Progression makes the X Forged long irons go farther because since they’re launching higher, they’re also carrying farther. It also makes the short irons go farther thanks to a more piercing trajectory.

Williams expects that the X Forged will become Callaway’s most popular iron on Tour, knocking some muscleback irons out of the bags of Callaway staff players.

Luke Williams, senior director of global woods and irons for Callaway, said the most popular irons on the PGA Tour and European Tour right now for the company are not its forged cavity backs. It’s the company’s muscleback offerings — last year’s RAZR X Muscleback irons and its predecessor, the Tour Authentic X-Prototype irons — that Callaway Tour players are trusting in their bags.

Jim Furyk one of the most particular equipment aficionado’s on Tour, switched to the new Callaway X Forged cavity back. Furyk has a history of playing what works the best for him even if it means playing manufactures other than his sponsor. Luke List,  Branden Grace  and now it looks like Furyk made the switch to the new X Forged cb’s. Here is a photos of Jim Furyk testing the clubs in March at the WGC:

The reason is not necessarily that Tour players don’t need the added size and forgiveness of a forged cavity back, either. Yes, one of the reasons musclebacks are more popular with Tour players than forged cavity back irons is because of their clean looks. But there are also performance reasons.

Golfers looking for a Tour-quality ball flight will also be happy to learn that the new X Forged irons come stock with a Project X PXi shaft, a lighter weight model of the popular Project X shaft with similar flight characteristics.

“We felt that PXi was the best fit, given the trend of going lighter with iron shafts,” Williams said. “Players are recognizing the value of lighter shafts if [those shafts] can maintain the consistency.”

The 2013 Callaway X Forged irons will retail for $999.99 per set. Here are additional specs:

Just picked up a set of these yesterday. Callaway just released the new Apex irons and I stumbled into a Golftown and saw a brand new set of these for $300. I have been looking for a second set of clubs to keep around my parents place for those times I’m visiting and don’t have room to bring my set. Needless to say I would have bought these regardless at that price. Will be interesting to see how they compare to my TaylorMade MB’s.

I have the set with Project X95 Flighted. Are you familiar with this set versus the PXI? I am trying to figure out which is best for me. The PXI’s are supposed to be lighter and softer but I have not been able to hit them. I have the 5.5 in my x95’s that are supposed to be between the regular and stiff but I cannot tell. Could you help? Do you have the PXI’s in your set? Know where to go to try them (I am in MA)?

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Aug 9, 2013 at 11:17 pm

Aaron, have you had a chance to compare the 59’s and xf side by side because these are the only 2 left on my short list. I’ve played the xf and really like them but have only hit the 59’s in the store, like them there but that doesn’t compare to the real world. Almost feel like I cant miss the xf and the 4 iron usually is weak for me but now I actually have a lot of confidence when I have to pull it out. Cant wait to read feedback

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Aug 15, 2013 at 2:30 pm

Matt, the mp59 is not as soft as the X forged. Mp59 makes a clicky noise at impact. X forged wins hands down based on looks and performance.

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Aug 18, 2013 at 11:58 pm

I’d love to know your feedback 3-4 weeks out. I’m buying either the MP-59’s or XF’s this week. The high bounce on the XF’s worries me a bit with none of the other club manufacturers going as high as Callaway has on these.

Just picked up my Cally Forgeds yesterday, custom fit and pured. Wow…I’ve always been a TM man but everything changed with these girls. 15 to 20 yards more on the lower irons. 4&5 were the same with lower flights. The feel is butter. I’m over 50 with a 90mph iron swing, yet my trusty 6 was 190 carry, 200 with roll. Well worth the change. Blew rocketbladez off the mat! Only thing better is EPON.

Has anyone been able to compare these with the Titleist AP2 ‘s I tried hitting the X-hot pro’s and liked them but if these have some forgiveness I think I would like to try forged irons again.

“For golfers who don’t want to play a blade but also can’t bare to look down at a shovel . . .” I’m one of those. I, honestly, can’t take my clothes off to look down at a shovel!

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Mar 14, 2013 at 3:37 pm

I recently purchased a set of these forgoing my AP2’s. I found the AP2”s just a little too big and with less feel than some other forged irons I’ve played. I have 5 rounds played with the new Callaway X Forged and I must say they are as good as the review says if not even better! I used to play blades a couple years ago and was looking for more forgiveness. Most cavity backs made it way more difficult to work the ball in comparison though. The X Forged play like blades when it comes to working the ball but are just as or more forgiving than their counterparts in this category! I’m amazed at how accurate I am with these! Props to Callway for stepping up and putting great shafts in them too! If you get the chance to hit them I highly recommend it! You’ll be very pleasantly surprised at how great these really are!!!

Agree re supply issues – attended callaway demo event this week and liked the XHOT Pro’s but the fitter did not have any of the new forged heads so not able to demo them to compare. So no sale that day. Will now have to wait for them to return later in the year to see if they bring them with them on that occasion. If you are releasing new clubs, the first thing to do is ensure your travelling demo fitters have all the new range with them, surely!!!

Lovely irons but going to be ruined by a supply issue for these heads…ordered a custom set of these three weeks ago and Callaway now telling me its likely to be May or the end of May before I see them…I am in the UK but that will kill this iron release dead. Callaway needs to get its house in order – big release of new irons has to be backed up with product. I dont imagine this issue is simply limited to the UK.

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Apr 3, 2013 at 7:04 am

It’s not because I ordered my set on feb 6 and to date, the set has not arrived. Something about a back order on the 8 or 9 heads. Why release them if they weren’t ready to fulfill orders?

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Mar 11, 2013 at 6:11 pm

Can you further explain how bounce works? I hear a lot about bounce in wedges but never in like a 3 or 6 iron. Who would benefit from higher bounce in their irons? What is the bounce designed to do in your longer irons? I know the Wilson/Staff fg tour v2’s have the same amount of bounce as well.

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Mar 12, 2013 at 1:06 am

Bounce is there so it’s more forgiving on shots you hit fat. Imagine if the leading edge (the bottom of the face) was the lowest part, then if you were to hit into dirt then it would be a pretty good shovel. All’s good and well if you hit it perfectly ball first then ground and take a nice divot, but when you time it wrong and hit the ground early before the ball, then lots of distance is lost as a result. If there is more bounce, then the club does exactly that, it bounces a little when you contact with the ground because the lowest part of the club is not the face. So more forgiving. Another advantage to have less bounce is that it’s easier to hit out of the rough (assuming again that you contact the ball first).

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 35-degree 7-iron and 47-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

Snell Golf launches new 2024 Prime lineup of golf balls offering ‘performance for all’

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Snell Golf has today introduced its new 2024 Prime golf ball lineup.

Per Snell, the new lineup focuses on offering urethane technology at an affordable price, while optimizing the golf ball performance based on player swing speed, or a more frequently known data point, 7-iron distance.

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

On the new release, Dean Snell, owner and CEO, says

“As our company has evolved over the last 9 years we continue to learn more about our customers and what we can do to make golf ball selection easy for the amateur golfer. Sometimes there is just too much data, described as ‘paralysis by analysis,’ leaving many golfers feeling overwhelmed. The new lineup is positioned to make it easy for our players to choose their model based on swing speed, or an even simpler metric of their 7-iron distance. Each model is designed to give those player profiles total overall performance and do so at a price point that makes sense for their game and their wallet.”

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

The release of the new models: Prime 2.0, Prime 3.0, and Prime 4.0 offer three performance levels and three price points to fit golfers of different capabilities:

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

A new 2-piece urethane golf ball ball designed for more leisurely swing speeds. A high speed core is designed to offer players higher spin and higher launch to promote overall carry distance, and works with the urethane cover for higher short game spin than other 2-piece balls on the market. The new XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide very soft feel, excellent durability, and superior greenside control.

Price: $24.99 per dozen.

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Total performance for a wide range of golfers, a 3-piece urethane golf ball that evolves from the previous “MTB PRIME” and “MTB BLACK” models, designed to provide high ball speed and low long game spin that most players desire. The mantle layer is designed for controlling iron spin to mid-high levels needed to execute every shot in the bag, while the brand’s NEW XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide softer feel, ultimate greenside control, and improved durability.

Price: $32.99 per dozen.

callaway x tour forged irons lofts

Designed for mid to high swing speed players, this model is a 4-piece urethane golf ball designed to provide golfers with leading performance. An ultra fast core and low spin aims to offer superior distance, while the mantle layers work to offer higher short iron spin and optimal launch for long irons. The XV3 Urethane cover provides ultimate greenside control, excellent durability, and a slightly firmer feel on this model.

Price: $34.99 per dozen.

The 2024 Prime 2.0 and Prime 3.0 golf ball models will be offered in a high visibility white & optic yellow immediately shipping April 22nd on SnellGolf.com . The Prime 4.0 will also be on pre-sale in white on April 22nd, shipping May 1. Yellow 4.0 model expected to be available June 1.

Wonderful Article! tstoto tstoto tstoto

ขอบคุณสำหรับข้อมูล บทความนี้มีประโยชน์มาก! tstoto

Playing golf also teaches tstoto about responsibility and discipline. Every move and decision must be considered carefully. He learns to judge distance, choose the right club, and control the power of his shot. They teach caution, a skill that can be applied in everyday life.

no downsides....very good.

I can't believe I am the only one who suffers from this. Now let's talk about the forgiveness. Off center hits go dead straight with no distance loss. This is simply fantastic! The putter really helps me get the ball started on the line I want at the pace I want. transmission repair Merced

Absolutely love them, I have a fantastic feel to them and put plenty of spin on the ball, even if i top the ball it still rolls as far as if i hit it perfectly. Camarillo Green Tree Service

Can't find any.

These irons are the best I've ever played with! They are just forgiving enough but also gives great feedback like a forged iron should. I gained 10 yards and also have better accuracy. I love the ball flight I get with the project X 6.0 shafts. My handicap went down from a 14 to flirting with being a 10 this year. I'm sure they will help me go to a single digit! Won't change irons until I can find a used set of the 2013 X-Forged Irons.

Customer Service

Got the irons at Callawaygolfpreowned.com and have always had great success with them. I will definitely buy from them again.

Callaway X-Tour Irons

I had been playing my old clubs for nearly 10 years so it was time for a change. I tried a set of Mizuno MP57 but they didn't work for me as well since I am a picker of the golf ball and not a digger. I looked around in some forums for advice and the golfwrx guys all said that the design of the x forged irons were very good for players like me that sweep the ball and don't take divots. They were right in that these irons are much better for me than the Mizunos. I bought them from Callaway preowned with Nippon 850 shafts but they were too stiff for me so I reshafted them with TT Dynalite shafts which were softer and also give me a higher ball flight. Now that are just about dialed in and they feel very good. Like any set of clubs find the clubhead design that fits your swing and abilities and most importantly find the correct shaft for your ballflight and swing speed.

Mizuno Mp57, Ping i3 Blade

I was playing with the X-Tours and was loving them but after watching my Brother-in-law hit nice shot after nice shot with the X-Forged I knew I had to upgrade. The club is smaller than the Tour so I like that about it. They hit nice and I picked up 10 yards with them. I can't wait to see how this season shapes up.

Callaway Preowned Golf is the best place for clubs period. Got my set 4-PW for $185 on clearance!

I would say the Callaway X-Tour and the Cleveland TA3 Form Forged.

Let me first start by saying that i have had my irons re shafted to TT dynamic Gold To lower the trajectory (high swing speed so the flighted really weren't my thing). Performance- I absolutely love the things I can do with these Irons, More than enough workability, and the distances are fine, I don't know the lofts offhand but I hit these Slightly Further than most of my Past Clubs, The Yardage Gaps Are near Perfect, about 15 Yds. per club slightly higher from 5i-3i. Forgiveness- Surprisingly High for a Thinner Forged Iron, but still by no means a club for someone with an inconsistent swing path. Off-center hits can go fairly straight but in the wrong direction by a few degrees. Feel- Amazing, plain and simple. I can tell you almost exactly how far off a miss hit is within 1/2 a Cm before looking at the club, And buttery smooth on a solid shot as with most Forged Irons. Cons- Very Few, but I am not a Huge Fan of the Looks, and occasionally if you play on Bermuda grass the clubs dig pretty deep and can sometimes stop after your shot (rare but it doesn't happen to me with some other clubs.)

Broke a 5iron at the hosel, got back to me in a few days good as new, very friendly A+

Just about every forged iron out there, with the exception of some older models and some Mizuno's. P.S. picked mine up for about $250 used, so value for me is unsurpassed. Anything under $350 for these is 5 stars, anything above that is still 4.

The Callaway RAZR X Forged iron is made from a ‘Triple Net Forging' process, with a view to providing improved feel, and enabling new ‘Tour CC' grooves to be precision forged.

There is far more forgiveness than the impressive looks would suggest but the cavity graphics lack a wow factor.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room.

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

  1. Callaway X-Tour Irons Review

    By Martin Hopley. Mar 22, 2008. When we picked up the Callaway X-Tour irons you could see immediately from the back that it was a Callaway, with the notch design and undercut cavity. However when you put it down at address it looked like any other premium iron with a compact head, thin top line and no cavity in view. Amazing (for a Callaway).

  2. Callaway X Forged Irons Review

    The Callaway X Forged irons are everything a better player could want at address. The top line is thin, and there's very minimal offset . The head is just large enough to frame the ball, and the overall shape is a bit tighter without being boxy or graceless. One of the most interesting visual aspects is the finish.

  3. X-Tour Irons: Callaways First Forged Set

    The Callaway X-Tour Irons have been in use on professional tours for a while already, with Phil Mickelson and Annika Sorenstam among those pros using them.

  4. Loft Gapping

    My dilemma is loft gapping. I have traditionally preferred 4 degree loft gaps (admittedly unsure if I need to change that mindset - though it was a solid formula for efficient yardage gaps with my previous "real" muscle back blades - multiple sets). Callaway X Forged has 4 degree gaps from 6 iron to PW at 29 - 33 - 37 - 41 - 45. 3 iron to 5 ...

  6. ULTIMATE REVIEW!

    As much as I hate to keep coming back to it, for a design that's intended for the tour level ball strikers, or at least really strong amateur players, Callaway's X Forged long irons performed admirably, even in my 12-point-whatever-mediocre-ballstriker-hands.
