Talked to a Callaway HQ sales rep this morning.

He says that the X24 iron series is a cross between the regular and Tour versions of previous X models.

So, no X24 Tour model will appear.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I never understood the difference between regular and tour iron sets, they look like the same build just different colors..

Tour models usually have thinner soles/topline, less offset and if I'm not mistaken small head length.

Exactly. The decreased offset is the main reason i chose the X20 Tours over the std X20's. Some of the X-series also had standard hosels in the Tours, with shorter or bore-through hosels in the regulars.

I think Callaway has gotten rid of Tours for the X-series as they'd rather funnel players interested in them to the X-Forged...

Driver: Cleveland Classic 270, 10.5*

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour, 5-PW, Rifle Project-X (flighted) 6.0
Wedges: Cleveland CG15 DSG 52* & 58* +/- 56* Niblick

Putter: Yes! Amy

All in all I would go with what suits you best.. if you're not going to notice the difference in the X's and X Tour's then don't bother paying the extra cash. I prefer the regulars to be honest

That's correct.

Likewise, the Tours have a higher Vertical Center of Gravity (VCOG), which means they don't pop the ball up as much. This is helpful if you need to keep the ball low on certain shots. Also... * The Tour irons aren't quite as strong on the lofts as the normal X models. * Tour models stop at PW; regular X model has stock AW, SW and LW available with the set.

Focus, connect and follow through!
