I have been playing X-20's and my ball striking is good enough to warrant some new irons. I just want to know what you think should be the next step. What irons would you recommend as a step up from X-20's? Thanks

In My Bag:

L5V 9.5*
X-Hot 3W
3H HybridIrons: Soon to Come X-Tour Forged 52* 56* 60* Wedges Detour 1

Looking at what's in your bag now and your handicap index why not try the X-Forged irons?

I'll second the X-Forged Callys. They are sweet looking irons. I hit a few balls with my friends and really like them. When I get my index below 10, they will be my gift to myself.

In my  Warbird Hot stand bag:
nike.gif Dymo2 Str8 fit 10.5 or  HiBore XLS 10.5,  Steelhead Plus 3 and 5 woods,

 NP2 3H,  DCI 990 4-PW,  Forged + 54/12,  RAC 58/8,

 Classic #1,  NXT Tour or  Burner TP

I was lookin at the x-forged myself, and with the release of the x-forged II, they might go down in price

You should consider the forged,my friend has them and there great irons.With your handicap you should move up to them or x20,18 or 16 pro series.my set before my irons were x16 pro series and they were class,to be honest i don't find any difference in them and the ones i have now.

aeroburner tp 10.5 stiff
superfast tp 2.0 3 wood stiff
Halo 25 and taylormade tp 19 degree hybrids

I would hit the X20 Tour's over the x-forged. Give them a try, with the X22 Tours due to come out shortly, they will drop considerably.

Although you are probably loyal to Callaway equipment, i second the TP irons from TaylorMade. I have the r7 TP's and I love all aspects of them. Personally, how they look is a pretty big thing for me and I very much like how they are designed.

...and they also play quite well.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
