Callaway X-20 Irons

[fly_high]

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.

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 :)

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.
