What are everyone's thoughts about these clubs? particularly as a high handicapper, and a left-handed golfer

i have a set of 18's and 22 tours and the 18's are the most forgiving clubs ive ever hit. The 22's are just as good tho, a little different for me, but definately a great club. Id go with them.

Thanks a lot man! So you have both 18s and 22s but prefer the 18s? Just preference or any reason why?

This is probably a dumb question, but is there two different lines of x22s, regular and tours or are they one and the same? I also heard callaways are lefty friendly and have great customer service, so those are big pluses

The tours have less offeset and are a touch less forgiving. Thinner sole and the weighting isn't quite so extreme.

Yeah i just lean towards the 18's more for more workability and comfort. But yeah the x22's and tours are different just by a little bit. The 22's have a full offset club head which enables a higher ball flight where as the tours have a tour offset head club which keeps the ball to a medium height.

I just got a set of X-22s and as you can see I'm definitely a beginner. I hit them for the first time at the range yesterday, and after my first experience with them, I think they are excellent.

In my X-Series Bag:

Driver G10 10.5*
Woods V-Steel 3W, 5W
Hybrids Pinemeadow ZR1 19* 3HIrons MX-19 4-GWWedge MP-R Black Nickel 54/10Putter Rossa Sebring AGSI+


X-22's are amazing and will give you confidence

The x series clubs are great for beginners and players all around.

I play the X20's, and they are excellent clubs. The X22's are almost identical, I have tried them, and would recommend them.

I shot a couple of balls using an X-22 9 iron. It's good, I think it's more forgiving than my old X-14s. But if you're really a beginner I'd suggest something more game improvement; Mizuno MX950 or MX100, Adams hybrid irons or PING G10. You can't really go wrong with any of these. But if you're set on the X-22's then go for them.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

you definitely would not regret picking the 22's

    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.
