Does anybody know the difference between the Tour Irons and the Regular ones?
Aside from the obvious looks.
Are Tour Irons any different in shaft flex, or forgiveness. It's about a hundred dollar difference.
I've tried out the Regular X-20s but I was afraid the Tour Irons were for more low handicap players.

Slowly building my set.

I think the Tour irons (or mostly anything with the word "tour" in them) are meant for low-mid handicappers. I've not tried the X-20 Tour irons but enjoy the "basic" (read: newbie) version lots :)

In my bag:

D: Burner 2009 10.5˚
3W: Burner 2009 15˚
5W: Burner 2008 18˚R: Rescue Burner 25˚I: X-20 (4-SW)W: CG12 52˚P: Black #2

The tour series have less offset and a thinner topline on the heads. They are also offered with more shaft options from Callaway. They are available in all flex ranges so they may or may not be stiffer than the non tour series. The tour series have a more traditional hosel, not the bore-thru type.

They still have the cavity back and perimeter weighting that will help you get the ball up. Unless you are a consistent slicer of the ball there is no need to fear the tour series. They can possibly bring your game to the next level. What spec clubs are you looking at, and what's the price point?

I don't slice the ball anymore. My recent rounds of golf, I've found I draw the ball most of the time and hook here and there.

The local golf store here sells the X-20 Steel for 599.99, whereas the Tour Irons are 699.99. I'm also looking at other alternatives such as, Mizuno MX-100 or Adams A3OS. I've tried hitting hybrids and I can say with certainty that I enjoy hitting them. I can hit my long irons but not all that consistent. Correct me if I'm wrong, the regular x-20 comes with 3h and 4h hybrids?

I don't think that is true.

I have yet to see a Callaway iron set sold with hybrids.

Driver: X460 tour- 9.5*
3-wood: 3+ - 13*
Hybrid: BB HW 20*
Hybrid: 24*
Irons: X-20 Uniflex SteelWedges: Colonial 56* & 60*Putter: XG SabertoothBall: GPS-8âIf you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God...

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By xrayvizhen ·

      $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.

      At What Point Should I Begin Looking to Upgrade My Clubs?

      By xrayvizhen ·

      Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."

      Trackman Driver Data – Would an Equipment Change Help?

      By xrayvizhen ·

      There is no dispersion data presented but based on your average smash factor, I would guess that you're hitting the ball pretty much in the middle of the face, or pretty darn close to it. If that's the case I might suggest the Titleist GT3. It's not quite as forgiving as the TSR2 but if you hit the ball in the center of the face, as you seem to be doing, you'll feel the ball absolutely explode off the tee. (That's what I feel anyway with my TSR3.) I also think you might be launching the ball too high. There's an optimal launch/spin chart on the Titleist website that you should look at. You might want to dial down your hosel setting on your driver from A1 to D1 for example.
