i am thinking about upgrading my clubs. forgive me, i do not know much about shaft types or clubs. i fell in love with these after i hit them once.

i am almost set on steel but not sure which flex to get, however i am not opposed to graphite.

also what is so much better about the x20's?

I heard X-20 has no significant differences compared to X-18. Price wise, X-18 is cheaper today, but I love X-20's looks though. Anyway, if you have extra money to burn just get X-20 simply because it is newer model, has thinner sole, addresses and looked better, IMHO.

Regarding to which flex to get, they have this Uniflex Steel Shaft. They are good enough for now until you know what you want.

alright thanks. to be honest i liked the way the 18 looked when the ball was adressed better. it has a thicker top part, and that impressed me more than thinner. thanks for the info though

Yeah, I'd get the X-18. I don't think there's much difference and you'd probably save a couple hundred dollars on the deal. I've never been the guy who has to paid top dollar for the latest great thing.

I'm sure clones do the job just fine but I wouldn't get them either. If nothing else it could throw you off mentally. I wouldn't mind paying a little for a good set of irons since you most likely will have them for many years.

I play x-18 irons, and was playing x-14 for years before that. I'm a 7 hdcp and have been thinking about buying the X-20 tour since they have a little offset, but I just can't part with the forgiveness of the X-18's...

I'm with everyone else, STAY AWAY from knockoffs...they're junk IMHO.

The X-18's are a sweet club and still quite new. Hell, the X-14's are a great club. If you hit the X-18 well then I personally wouldn't look to screw that up

When I was shopping for irons (5 years ago) I was either going to get the X-14 or TA5 Gunmetal. Got a great deal on the gunmetal irons so got them. Haven't seen really any reason to change.

Haha... a new set or irons... what's not to get excited about? I imagine that's when you get off work. Good luck and keep us updated.

Out of curiousity, how much were they selling the X-18's for?

Congratulations on your new purchase!

Which shaft did you get? Did you get the Project X, if so which one 5.0, 5.5 or 6.0?

Not bad. Was that price with tax and everything? You could have snagged a new set of X-20's off of eBay with upgraded steel shafts for about $575 shipped. However, you don't get fitted of course.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
