Can anyone kindly explain what's new (improvement or not) with X22 tour compared to X20 tour? Any reason to switch over from X20 tour to X22?

My problem since I have X20 is less distance (drop to 160 yd with 6 iron from 170+), meaning requires one stronger club.

I’m considering Mizuno with all great reviews….maybe MP52, or old model MP57? Since I'm not quite familiar with Mizuno models, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

If you are looking for distance, try out the 09 TM Burner's. I don't think you will get anymore distance from X20's to X22's, but I have been wrong before....

I had to get the X20 Tours because the hosel on the X22 Tour can't be adjusted for lie. So you buy them like the Pings with color dots. White is one degree up, green is one degree down, etc.. But they can't be adjusted. I was looking at a standard set that was new on the Callaway Preowned site and I need 2 degree upright so that was not an option. I got the X20 Tours instead and should have them in a week. Great place to buy from if you don't know. Got my X20 Tours "like new" (brand new on that site) and they adjusted lie up 2 degrees on all clubs (3-PW), added 1.25" of length, put on jumbo size grips, shipping free, no tax, and total was $421. Not bad for a brand new set of customized X20 Tours. If you buy "like new" on that site, you are getting brand new clubs. I have a FT-9 Tour driver coming in Wed I bought brand new for $240 ($430 club). Anyway, the guy said the X20 Tours were easier to hit than the X22 Tours. The X22 Tours have a slightly smaller head (and sweet spot I presume) than the X20 Tours. That is about all I know to be honest but that info came directly from Callaway so it should be solid. Reading you lost ten yards on these X20s makes me wonder about the shafts to be honest. Perhaps your older clubs had less stiff shafts and that is where the distance came from. That is what I am going through. I have the Big Bertha Golds (1993) with medium flex graphite. I hit the 5 iron about 200 yards and I need stiff shafts. I wanted Rifle 6.0 steel and that is what led me to the X20 Tours which have Project X 6.0 shafts. I got this set for about $100 more than a reshaft would have costed me on my current set. Point being, I hit these graphite medium flex shafts a long ways, but the fanning pattern is killing my accuracy. I am going to stiff steel for more accuracy but I could loose a few yards of distance. Accuracy is far more important though. Just thought it was worth mentioning since it is a possible cause for your loss of distance.

"the hosel on the X22 Tour can't be adjusted for lie".....good point to know.

"Accuracy is far more important though"....I totally agree.

Mine was custom fit....two different teaching pros came up with same spec....amazing!
So I hope to regain distance while remaining accuracy as my swing speed improves.

Good for you to have such a great deal for your x20 tour.

One thing I always have checked when switching or trying out new clubs is to make sure all the lofts are the same (as well as lie, shaft, etc) I don't ever trust the printed specs.

That is an excellent point. I got custom fitted for the first time back in June and many of my irons loft/lie were way off. Most folks (like me) assumed they would be to spec unless altered. I found this is not the case. Certainly worth checking. Also, don't underestimate the change a different ball can make. Have you changed balls recently? If not, perhaps you should. Think Srixon Z-star. ha ha...

It's one of the X22 selling points:

"Redesigned Hosel The sleeker design in X-22 Tour Iron Set significantly improves feel and allows the hosel to be more easily adjusted to fit a golfer's custom specifications." If this is in fact the case (not being adjustable), they just got knocked off my short list.

I guess they are selling X22 with pre-set lie as indicated on their website:

"Callaway uses colors to depict lie angles. Black is standard, Green is 1 up, White is 2 up, and Blue is 3 up. Gold is 1 flat, Red is 2 flat, and Yellow is 3 flat"

I hit both the X20 Tour and the X22 Tour models this spring when I was switching out clubs. Both gave excellent feedback on hits - right at impact. X22Ts went about 3 yds. farther.

Ended up going with standard X20s, as I wanted more foregiveness (see HDCP).

Bottom line: X22 Tour gets better reviews, but difference not enough to get rid of X20 Tours.

Focus, connect and follow through!

That's what I'm leaning toward. It's easy to blame club when get frustrated.

Sorry for the late reply, I missed this one somehow. Loving them man. I was worried I would need some time to adjust. 1,000 range balls in the last week. I have never hit the ball so well. So much for GI irons. The Big Berthas were good for a long while, but I am aiming for the flag for once. I usually just aimed for the green. Can't put my finger on it, but I have so much more control over the ball with these X20 Tours. The Project X 6.0 shafts are a big help for sure. My reg flex graphite in the Big Berthas was a real problem for me. Only now can I tell how much.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
