X-Forged or X Prototypes

Was that your example of good looking irons or ugly ones? Personally I think both of those look really good.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Anything like these hybrid iron sets qualify as the ugliest irons ever made.


I would never carry any of those irons. Much rather get a set of Ping shovels than those hybrid irons.

I think the X prototypes are good looking. Theres just something special about them, just looking at them makes me think I could hit some crazy good shots. You dont see too many people on the forum with them either, kinda rare.

they're spendy and the price so far hasn't budged all year.

I've demo'ed them and they actually play very similar to the X-Forged. Very forgiving and the head profile is almost nearly identical. Now if the price was just a bit lower...but then again, even if Callaway makes great blades, they just can't contend with the tried and true Mizuno or Titleist as far as blades go.

I'd argue that point. I actually prefer the X-Proto's to many Titleist/Mizuno blades. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the topline appearance of the Proto's, I put them right up there with my (previous) Scratch SB-1's. Very good clubs, I wish Callaway would market them a bit better.

not that I know of. the X-proto's were just released to the public this past year. I haven't heard anythign about Callaway producing any other replacement blades so I'd say they'll stick around for a bit longer.

now the X-Forged has been discontinued and wll soon be replaced by the RAZR X-forged or whatever which I am not a fan of. Callaway has been producing these cavity clubs that have that weird cavity profile that the Diablo's have. Not a fan.

Yes, the clubs do seem pretty bad. But, what about the poor kid in the picture? He's about 2 years old and he looks like he's sportin' a hair piece--and a bad one at that.

Agree on both points. Well said. Razr X-forged says "nice thin blade" to me, not what I've seen in the pictures.

Yea, I hit em at Golfsmith one day, don't think it's possible to hit an "off center" shot on them. Almost too easy to hit i think.

But still, I couldn't stand that big thing coming out the back end of the long irons. lol so odd and distracting to me

Cleveland VAS for sure. I played 18 with a guy who had them back in the day, and he used an orange Pinnacle ball. When he took out his putter, the black one with yellow sight lines (Slotline Inertial maybe) that actuall had ONSET... well the world stopped rotating for a few holes, dogs and cats were playing together in backyards that lined the course, and the hot cart girl just drove right on past us all day as well. ALL DAY.

Let’s not forget the honeycomb.
As I recall, there was also a set of woods that had a dimensional honeycomb grid behind a layer of clear acrylic (or whatever the material they used for the face of the club). I can’t find a photo of it though.

      It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.

      I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆
