Saw a set of Callaway X-Forged with Project X - 6.0 Condition.....excellent minus. The PW has a ding on the bottom of the toe. Otherwise the set is good.

Though my MP14 has lots of sentimental value as this clubs have been with me for 14 years. But it is not getting any play as I recently acquired MP68.

I plan to bring the Callaways to the Bay area as I will be living there for the winter.

Asking price for the Callaway's is $250. Trade in value for Mizuno MP14 is $75 for a out of pocket expense of $175.00.

Is this an OK deal ? Wise to trade MP14 for the Callaways ?

Thanks.

A good friend of mine recently bought the Callaway X Forged irons for $300. He is roughly a 13 handicap and hits these clubs very well. I am a 6.8 handicap and also really like these clubs. For your out of pocket expense I would say go for it! Very good irons!!!

IN MY BAG:

 - TaylorMade R11 Driver (Stiff Flex)

 - TaylorMade R11 3 Wood (Stiff Flex)

 - TaylorMade Rescule 11 (Stiff Flex)

 - Nike Slingshot irons (3 - PW)

 - TaylorMade TP xFT 52*

 - TaylorMade TP xFT 60*

 - Nike OZ Mallet Putter

 - Titleist NXT Tour golf balls

 - Footjoy StaSoft glove

 - Adidas Powerband Sport shoes

I love mine.  I'm not a low handicapper by any means, but found them very easy to play.  I managed to buy mine for $250 via Craigslist and thought it was a heck of a deal for the shape they were in.

Thanks for the responses.

I started researching this club in regards to price and playability.

#1 --- the $250.00 deal was not as spiffy as I originally thought. Had seen a few offerings around this price range that was in better shape.

#2 --- I am intrigued by a Wilson offering ---FG Tour. This could be had for $334.00

All my set have been bought used. I am thinking about getting a brand new set this time.

But still in the process of researching the different options.

BTW, I played with the MP-14's after shelving it for a while in favor of MP-68's. Feel wise, the MP-68's has a tad more feel to it. I could tell by the sound and feel where exactly I am striking the ball.

When I went to play the MP-14's ---- though it still felt great, not as good as the MP-68.

The X-Forged also has that 'buttery' feel to it. Like the MP-68, it did a give my hands and ears a great feedback as to where I am striking the ball.

The X-Forged seemed to launch the ball a bit lower than the MP-68. Perhaps this is due to the Project X vs S300 shafts --- not sure but just my guess.

Again, thanks for your responses.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
