I currently game these. I got them last Nov., and have to say they were a really good decision for me. I was looking for more feedback than my previous SGI irons provided and these fit the bill. I can tell exactly where on the club face the ball has been struck now which I couldn't do before. I've tried a lot of clubs both before and since getting these and the only ones that have come close to these are MP-68's, but that is just my opinion, YMMV.

Oh, one other thing, if you hit them on the sweet spot they are like butter, but off center hits will punish you. When I first got them last year I played them in 35* weather. I can tell you that bad mishits at that temperature really sting, enough to make a finger or two go numb.

Love em. Some of the easiest and most forgiving players cavity backs I've played. When I startd looking for a new set of irons, I was looking at Mizuno MP-62's, Titleist AP2's, Titleist CB's, and the Callaway X-Forged.

Loved the feel of these X-forged. I'll put these up against those other irons any day. Forgiving but very much workable. Great feel and looks imo. Especially for $500, its a steal.

I agree. Very forgiving indeed. LOVED the feel of these irons.

Where can you find a set for $500 though? I see $800 for a set w/ project x shaft. Dan

I paid approx. $525 at Callaway Pre-owned for mine last fall (noticed the price has gone up since then). They were marked as "Like New" and to be honest, they looked like they had never been hit before. Mine have Project X Flighted shafts.

Couldn't disagree more. The X-tour line are basically a more workable Callaway X-series iron. None of the 'feel' of a players iron IMO.

From my sig...you can see I play these...

These are great irons. Very soft feel on pure shots, very workable, and somewhat forgiving for a players iron due to the CB design and the perimeter weighting despite the small sweet spot and/or the short distance from the sweet spot to the hosel. If they were good enough for Graham McDowell to win the U.S. Open with them, they're probably good enough for you to go out and shoot in the 80s

I have tried these and really like them about as much as my MP-57 clubs, but the only thing bothering would be, that if you were to trade them in a few years the value might well be about zero....

  • 10 years later...

Purchased these irons in 2020 from globalgolf -- yeah, that's right, this Summer, 2020.

$200. My first set of irons.They arrived in great shape (declared to be "mint", which they were.) I suspect they sat around in a garage or attic for some years. Great to learn on. The mishit 'punishment' or UN-forgiving nature of these old irons is just what I want to learn how to hit irons correctly -- though, in fact, they have their share of 'forgiveness' given that they are cavity back. Meanwhile, I held the 7 iron up directly against an Apex 19's 7 iron I picked up used (with graphite shaft). Heads are nearly identical. Certainly in shape and design, though I suspect the weightings are slightly different in the attempt to add more forgiveness to the Apex 19s over the 2009 X Forged ones. I may just swap out the 105g regular shafts for graphite and keep using them. Though tempted to go for some new Apex or Apex Pro.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
