Went to a CAlly demo day at my clb today and here are my opinions on the three clubs i tried.

X22 Tour- Pretty good fell very forgiving(this is compared to blades. I was surprised at how buttery they felt for GI irons. Overall they were a bit too forgiving for me(not enough feedback). Id think that they are for the slightly above average ballstriker.


X22- They had an ok feel. WAY too forgiving for me. Would probably b good for a high hndcper. HAd a better feel than some SGI clubs.


X Forged-My favorite by far. Very good feel.

Will expand on this later.

Dude really, your a 10 handicap. Don't say something is too forgiving, as nothing is too forgiving. You might mean the feel just sucks and you can't feel anything, but I know that even with my r7s I can tell the complete difference between a mishit and a pure strike. The head pro at my club plays Callaway FT irons.

It's one thing to like or dislike another based on it's feel, but to write something off as "too forgiving" is borderline silly. I can guarentee that if you played a round with x22 tour and mp 67 same shaft, everything, that you would be having nicer shots with the x22 tour, regardless of how well your ball striking is. I don't mean to complain, it's just that I see lots of great players playing GI and SGI clubs, and while it is a personal preference, I feel it's to the benefit of nearly all players to try them out.

Well i said in my post that it didnt have enough feel. I didnt really know how to say it properly. I agree it cant be too forgiving but i associate forgiveness with little feedback so that is what i meant by that.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
