I'm thinking about ordering a new set of the Callaway X-Forged irons and wedges. I've hit them a lot in the store and think that I have decided on them over the Mizuno MP-60s. I'm going to order them with the RP Project x Flighted 6.0 shafts. Any have thoughts on this decision?

Thanks,

Yes yes yes. Ive hit them many times and they are addicting as golf clubs get. I dont have a solid reason to drop my titliests and spend a grand on a new set which is why they are not in my bag at this momment. And i dont care what reviews you read, they are just as forgiving as game improvement irons.

The only con to them I see is that they appear to be clubs that will wear very very fast. They are almost too soft.

i have these irons with those exact shafts. go to a local callaway performance center and get them fit. best $150 you can spend. I've played ping, mizuno, Hogan, and a few others. these x-forged are the best looking and performing irons i've had to date. the mizuno's were a close second, but too difficult to hit.

I have played blades for 30 years and I am no Callaway fan but the X-Forged are the best looking/performing players iron I've hit! Nothing comes close.

agreed. these are exceptional clubs. they are forgiving for a blade but dont expect much. overrall a great club. downside is they do wear a bit, so make sure to keep them nice and clean and out of harms way

It's unbelievable what these companies produce. All the years I played baseball I never obsessed over equipment like I do, now.

I wonder if they'll ever release these.

yeah, i obsess over golf stuff for sure. I always like being up to date with new stuff, you know what I mean? its wrong, but whatever, its my guilty pleasure. too bad i cant keep up financially with all of it or else I'd be buying new irons every six months the new stuff came out

I purchased my X-Forged last September 15th. By the end of October I had shaved 6 shots of my index. I was told that they would harder to hit than my old Rac IIs but found the weighting of the shaft gaving much better feel throughout the swing resulting in better contact.

i saw these in person at the callaway hq in carlsbad. they look damn nice, but i don't think i could hit them. the head is tiny. looks like a true blade. they will make them in limited quantities and will cost a buttload.

I actually got to swing it, but didn't hit balls :(

I ordered them a few weeks ago and I took delivery of them last week. I've played with them once so far, and I'm giving them a solid A for the frst time out with NO range time. They feel solid and straight! The lack of offset is going to take a little getting used to, but I am very pleased so far.

sounds good man. enjoy. i can't stand off-set so the x-forged look sweet to me.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
