X-18 or x-20 or x-22's?

[mrbillinoc]

Is there really a HUGE difference between these clubs? I've seen the X-18's, 4 thru SW, new, for $260.00. The X-20's are about $60.00 more and the X-22's around $400.00. I don't buy clubs very often, so I don't mind spending the extra is there is that big of a difference. I know the 22's have the shaft going thru the hosel, but is it that much different?

Thanks!

What you are seeing with the X18 model is the X18R (for reissue). It has the non-bore-through hosel. Lately, I have seen a batch of X20 irons hit the shelves which also are non-bore-through hosel (basically an X20R?)

X18Rs hit the shelves at Sports Authority in early 2009. X18 had price point at $399 to compete with lower-end name clubs, and new X20s (R version?) are hitting the shelves at Golf Galaxy for about $400.

Sand Trap had some interesting threads on the X18R and club market pricing last fall. Here are two (yes, they're different once you open them):

As for the clubs, the X20s have a dull nickel finish on them, and probably won't show bag wear as quickly as the X22s. I've tried them both, and they hit about the same.
