Callaway X-12 Pros

[Rabidcatfan]

Came across a 3-PW set of these for next to nothing. A member of my church says they are the irons he still swears by despite the fact they are over 20 years old. My question is, should I drop $50 on a set of these or stick with my fusion iron set? I've seen others mention this being a great set despite its age, but I'd like to get a current opinion. Would I be wasting my money?

I mean $50 would be a pretty cheap experiment to see if you like them. Although 20 year old clubs can quickly become $250 clubs if you need to start replacing shafts and grips etc. I guess if you really don't like the Fusions then maybe, but otherwise might stick with what works. If you do buy them, probably try and negotiate down to $30, that seems like a better price in my opinion.

It depends on what the set is like.  If the shaft and specs suit you, definitely go ahead and buy it.  Even if it is a back-up set it works out.  Also, it is worth buying as a set to keep at home for guests to use.  More than anything, it depends on the condition of the clubs

If they just sit around collecting dust...they are no bargain at any price.

Stiff flex rifle shafts look in good shape. Grips are shot and need replacing though. Dont hate the fusions, they're ok, just heard that the X12 pros were an amazing set and thought I'd grab them when I had the chance.
