mizuno mx-100 vs callaway x-20

[kam]

So I went into a golf store the other day and tried out some new irons. I decided to go with either the mizuno mx-100 or the callaway x-22. I hit good with both the clubs the mizunos seem to be a bit more forgiving. I am a beginner golfer who needs forgiving clubs. Just want to get some input on which set would be a better buy and overall better clubs. They are both the same price.

Also looking at these two sets of irons...I would also be interested to see which people prefer for the higher handicap golfer

I looked at these as well. Went to Golfsmith to hit them again and drop some cash and ended up getting the Mizuno mx-1000 instead of the mx-100. They were only $100 dollars more and the feel was way better. Fell in love with them the first swing. If you like the 100's you should definitely hit the 1000's.

I had X20 irons until Christmas time. Decent enough iron, only problem a little clunky out of rough. Also, not everyone likes the Uniflex shafts (flex between R and S).

Try them out and see if you like them. Plenty of people still play X20s.

Some of the X20s out there are a second-wave model: They have smooth hosel rather than bore-through. (Same thing with X18R model of a couple of years ago.) Haven't heard anyone say this was a problem.

Also, latest X20s advertise having the "new grooves."

Smooth-hosel X20 and X18R were made to compete at the $395 price point against models such as Cleveland TA7, some Cobra S3 sets, Ping G5 and Adams Idea a7.

I hit some Mizuno MX1000 irons, mainly to get the feel of a lightweight steel shaft. No better or worse than Callaway X20, just a different feel.
