It depends on the condition of both (grips, grooves, scratches). In general they are pretty much the same club. The burners are black and probably would wear a little faster. Also the burners lofts are probably a little stronger, but im not 100% on that one. Its probably a pretty even trade but i wouldnt just trade my clubs unless i didnt like them. If you like the callaways better then you should do it, but if you think they are the same, dont bother with the switch.

I would echo BHP, they are pretty much the same club and if the lofts are any different, it wouldn't be more than a degree.  Another thing to think about other than condition is shaft flex, length and lie angle.  Maybe your buddy's clubs are set up with a +2 lie, vs standard.  Or maybe you have stiff shafts and his are regular flex... etc.

At this point in the game (your HCP says "Beginner"), stick with the Burners if you're happy with them.  No need to fix something that isn't broken.

The X22 irons are weaker by about 3° in long irons that starts to shorten out to 2° in the 7 and 8 irons.  Also depending on what length the shafts are the taylormades are likely longer by anywhere to .5-.25 inches on any given club. As far as playability they will play near the same style not a whole big difference between the two.

I would not reccommend trading unless they were newer or had something you wanted in them.  Trading for the sake of trading is not a very good way to get used to clubs and get a feel for them.  It's tough to be consistent when you are changing your clubs too often

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
