I just hit some Callaway X20 and they felt so nice, is their any big difference between the X18 and X20 or are they pretty similar. X18 are $100 cheaper. Thanks

Did you hit the x18? I hit all 3 today (18/20/22) and honestly there was a difference, but I loved the 18 the most. (it wasn't the $$).

Didn't pull the trigger yet but very much considering...

They are very similar, i believe the 18's have a slightly narrower sole, the 20's have a little more cut out on the back, but i think it would be hard to tell the difference when swinging them.

Although this is my first season playing, I bought x18's and have been playing them for a few months, two -three times per month plus range time once or twice a week. I like them quite a bit. I played with a friend today and we decided to switch clubs (his x22's and my x18's) to see if we played differently. Honestly, I hit the ball the same, as did he. He has been playing 17 years versus my 1. And he's a 10 handicap versus my 40 or so.

I recently bought the x18's steel irons and I absolutely love them. For a while, before I really started to play golf, I would go to the driving range with a friend who owned the x20's steel and I hit pretty well with them but when I tried out the x18's at Golfsmith, I hit even better with them. I went to the range and borrowed my friends x20's and my new x18's and didn't really notice a difference. If anything, I hit better with the x18's. Just my 2 cents.

my dad has the x20s and loves them.

Hit them on a monitor and see which ones feel and produce better for you

just bought x18r's today from golf galaxy... couldn't get the great feeling out of my head from yesterday. Can't wait get on the course... might have to squeeze 9 in this week after work.

I have the x18's and the x22 tour irons and the 18s definately have more forgiveness and feel great and a buddy of mine let me use the 20's and i shot the exact same score on almost every hole but I personally like the x18's better then the 20's.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
