As stated above which clubs would you recommend? I am looking for a nice set of clubs above my cheap slazenger set that I currently have?
-Forgiveness
-Playability

I am looking between these and really like both and am having a hard time choosing which ones. Any input as to why one over the other would be awesome.


Thanks

I'm obviously biased because I chose the Callaways over the competition, but...

This customer service experience certainly draws me closer to the company: http://www.thesandtrap.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14696

I ended up choosing between the X20s and Titleist AP1s. I thought the feel of those two clubs was superior to any of the others, but I liked the Callaway looks better.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

Driver: Great Big Bertha II 10°, Callaway System 60 Firm
Woods: Tour 2400 Plus 3
Hybrid: 19.0° 503 H, Adila NV 85 SIrons: X20 4-GWPutter: Studio Select Newport 2

Yeah I was leaning more towards the X-20s the local pro shop said they would work well for me.

I tried the X-20's but they didn't feel all too great. I liked the Ci7's better. :)

I prefer the X-20's when I demoed them. They seem to have a little more forgiveness. But both clubs are great.

Ive also looked at them. How do they compare to the r7 and x20. I love the looks of the AP1s compared to the others as well. I might just have to try some at the range tonight if there are some available at the pro shop!

Thanks

I have never hit the r7 irons but I have the X-20's and I wouldn't trade them for anything !

Amazing forgiveness with the X-20's is all I can say.

I haven't really hit any other high end irons to be honest though, although I don't really care to either

I own the r7 irons and have no complaints about them. My handicap has dropped by about 10 since purchasing and getting used to them. I never really tryed out the x-20's because they were out of my price range.

From my signature, you see what won for me...
I tried TM, Titleist AP1's, Ping G10s, and the X20s. All were fine....it comes down to personal preference. I have never been a Ping guy, and frankly was surprised that I did not pickup the AP1's as I've been playing DCI's for 10 years. I liked the X-20's and a good friend of mine recently picked some up and he's a single digit handicap, so I figure if I ever get time, they'll work for me as I improve.

I hit my new set this weekend and it was yum, yum, yummy

Take demo's - i couldn't get a full set but a partial set was fine and i hit stuff from all kinds of lies and did multiple fittings w/ multiple stores.....

New clubs are fun....enjoy!

Well I thought I had it narrowed down to the two of these but after hitting every club in the pro shop that i was interested I found the right one for me.

After I got down hitting all of these I came down to AP1 and Cobra FP(Which I gave no real thought to but decided to try). I ended up going with the Cobra FP and love them. I got fit but turned out I was standard on everything.

Thanks for the input and I will say anyone that hasnt tried AP1 should give them a try because they are awesome, but in the end Cobra beat them out.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
