hi all,
I would like to change my irons. My favorite are the callaway x-20. But I would like to know if any other company produce some irons similar to the x-20 (a mix of playbility and forgiveness).

bag:
hybdrid: XM1 24°
irons: XM1 (5-PW)
wedges: x-forged 56°
putter: Karsten B60balls: juice ix


Why not just get the X-20's then? I've heard great things about them. If price is an issue, give the X-18's a try. I hear they're pretty forgiving and won't cost you quite as much as the X-20's.

The TaylorMade r7 and Burner XDs are similar to what you are looking for. I have heard nothing but good things about both.
In the blue and tan grom Bag:

Driver r7 460 10.5*
Fairway Woods '07 Burner 15* and 18*
Irons 4-PW r7 XDWedges 47*, 52*, 58* CG14,Putter TiffanyBall One Tour D

hi all,

As far as playability and forgiveness, I would recommend three sets.

1. Cobra Irons 2. Ping G10s 3. Adams A3 The adams would be my choice, but that is a personal preference. But I really like all 3. In fact when I decided on my irons, The X-20s were in the mix too. I settled on the Adams clubs at the end. All are great clubs. Most of the golf magazines and review sites have the reviews up on all of them. Most pick the Adams at or near the top of this category.

I have x-20 knock offs... I got them from ebay for 150$

Sumo 10.5*
R7 Draw 15* 3W
3dx 17* 2H
Pi5 3-PW
Spin Milled Vokey 54* CG11 60* C-01


similar ones are the taylormade r7s, cleveland cg golds, srixon i-701s (these would probably be my choice of these 3 I mentioned and the x-20s but I would get i-701 tours)

XTD Pro - 9.5* - GD YSQ
GS Tour - 15* -GD Red Ice
Rescue TP - 17* - Fujikura TP
Idea Pro Gold - 20* - Mitsubishi JavlnFX
MP-30, 4-PW - Standard Lofts / 2* flat - TT DG RAC Z TP (54*/10*) X-Forged (60*/10*)Scotty Cameron TeI3 - 35"


i'd highly recommend the Cobra irons. They really have been stepping their performance up. If not that, then i'd stick with Taylormade's r7's.


Im a bigger fan of both those irons over the x-20's.

TMX Carry Bag
Tour Burner 9.5*
Burner 3W 15*
Burner Rescue Hybrid 19*
r7 TP 4i-SW Dynamic Gold S300s 60* CG-14 Circa 62 #2 & Studio Stainless Newport 2 Pro V1x


taylor made rac os2 are super cheap now...very very good clubs.

Driver Ping G10 10.5*
Hybrids Ping G5 (3) 19* Bridgestone J36 (4) 22*
Irons Mizuno MP-57 5-PW
Wedges Srixon WG-504 52.08 Bridgestone WC Copper 56.13
Putter 33" Scotty Cameron Studio Select #2


My X-20's are 1 week old tomorrow after special ordering a set. I love them....I did try out the fol and found them all pretty close to being the same:
Ping G10
Titleist AP1
TM Tour Burner

Also tried some mizuno's but chickened out...they were close but the G10s and AP1s were close runner-ups.
"pond would be good for me..."

In my Sun Mountain speed cart bag:
R7 425 Driver
Hawkeye 3W aka 'old faithful' Rescue Dual 2H or Orlimar 5W X-Series 3H X-20 4-AW Vokey SW Anser PRO-V1

I have the X-20 tour irons, i love them. I would just get the X-20's. as said, if its a cost issue then get the X-18's.

Or try e-bay. Im positive you can find them alot cheaper on ebay
In My SasQuatch tour Golf Bag:
Driver: Tour Burner with UST Proforce V2 stiff shaft
3 wood: SasQuatch 15*
3 Hybrid: X Tour
Irons: X-20 tourSand Wedge: Srixon WG-504 56*Lob Wedge X Tour 60*Putter: Studio Select Putter

I have x-18's. I got them after testing the X-20's too. They both play almost identically, and there isn't enough difference to justify the cost difference.

What's in My Extreme Lite Bag:
Driver: 909D2 9.5* w/ stiff Made for Titleist Voodoo
3-Wood: 904f 15*
2- Hybrid: 18* Heavenwood
3-PW: X-18 w/ steel Uniflex shaftsSW: Forged 56* LW: chrome 60*Putter: 34" White Hot Two-BallBall: NXT Tour


It is not a cost issue. I just wanted to know if there are other brands in that range of perfomance.

bag:
hybdrid: XM1 24°
irons: XM1 (5-PW)
wedges: x-forged 56°
putter: Karsten B60balls: juice ix

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
