Callaway X-22 Irons

[8.5_Drive]

Anyone played with these?

Im using X-14's at the moment and like the feel of them and how forgiving they are. How do they compare?

Any reccommendations?

The 22's are a little more forgiving than the 14's, not a whole lot of difference in the Callaway X series, just slight tweaks and improvements with each new model. I'm still playing the X20's, and have no plans to replace them anytime soon.

I haven't played them, but have hit several times at golf store indoor ranges. I know you can't tell a lot by that, but they feel so easy. If I was shopping for a new game improvement set, they would be high on my list.

I played the X-22s for a while last year, and found the long irons really easy to hit... despite all the current chatter about the 3-iron being virtually redundant these days.

I tried these the other day, the ball flight is super high.

I'm glad I got the X20s - with a dull, nickle-like finish. X22 has shiny chrome, and shows more bag wear.

In launch monitor tests I hit the X22 about 2 yards farther than the X20. But, I found a slightly used set of X20s for about $300 less than the X22s - guess which ones I got...

Callaway X series is awesome. You can't go wrong with any club in the series...

Is it worth upgrading from the x14's? Or are they just the same with a few gimmicks?

I can't say definitively, but I prefer the X-14's-one of my favorite Callaway X irons.

I used callaway x-18's which I got used. Once I really learned how to a hit an iron (lol) I've found there mighty forgiving and easy to hit. I love these clubs.

The X-22's are just a continuation of the design and tech of the X-series. There may be some slight differences, but I doubt it's anything an amatuer would really notice.

They are great, high quality irons either way...

I picked up a X-22 6i for $10 just to see the the difference between hitting it and the 6i from my X-12 set. There was virtually no difference. I hit them both the same distance, but the X-22 flight was a little higher on average than the X-12. The experiment was well worth $10 as I see no benefit now to spend $800 to upgrade to new X-22's or other irons for now.

If the X14 heads are worn out, or you want a different type of shaft, you might switch. Otherwise, why?

I play a set of irons about 15 years sometimes, so I may not be the best person to ask. I got the X20s in spring 2009 when I went from stiff to regular shafts across the board (except for wedges)
