Hi. I have hit the 6 iron. It has a really flat flight, low workability and mid forgivness. The only problem is, (as with all callaway irons) i couldn't take a divot and they weren't good out of rough.

I dont own them but have played with them when i demoed them. Looking to upgrade and i played a few with them.

Not much different to my X-18's really. Hit them straight, ball flight was more penertrating i would say, not reaching as high as my X-18. But, i was playing with Stiff shafts in the X-20's and Reg in my X-18's (Main reason for looking to upgrade is low to no offset and stiff shafts are needed)

I liked them, although i have decided to purchase the Mizuno MP-60's as the feel is awersome and they look super at address :)

I got mine a little less then 2 months ago. I bought them as a set of irons to grow into. So far I love them. I get much more feedback then I did from my G2s on miss hits and I love the Rifle shafts. Looking at your handicap, they might not be enough club for you though.

thanks for the reponses guys.

My natural ball flight is a high draw. Have a one-plane swing and play the ball a bit more forward in my stance than most. One of the things I am looking for is a club that can give me a lower more pentrating ball flight without losing the workability.

If not the X-20 tour, any recommendations?

I would think most people would suggest a forged club at your level. My advice would be go to a good golf store and hit everything. Make an afternoon out of it.

I am not saying that they aren't great clubs. Maybe they would be what you are looking for. Although I see most people of your ability with even more of a players club.

thanks. I probably don't strike the ball like a three handicap, but my short game is probably a bit sub-three. I have tried some forged clubs and the Titliest 775 are the only ones I can hit consistantly and they have the same problems of my existing titliest with the ball flight.

As you can see in my sig I use the X-20s for my long irons. I think they are great. I really don't think there is anything to when people say you can't work these clubs. They feel great when I hit them truly solid. And still go pretty good when I don't.

Another set you may want to look into would be Ping S58s or S59s. I absolutely love those things. But, I'm on contract with Callaway, so I won't be using them anytime soon.

As mentioned your Handicap might be a little low for these clubs, but you asked the question so I will answer. I bought the X20 Tours to grow into, but they have improved my game 8 strokes so far this season. I have a naturally high ball flight and this club and shaft setup allows me to really launch it high on the 8-PW. The Rifle shafts ( i use a 5.5) are awesome, no matter what club I chose I would get them. As far as workability... I have never hit a consistant draw (I am a left to right hitter), I can with these clubs. I have been working very hard on my game, but the X20 Tours have helped me along no doubt.

Just my 2 coppers

I have been hitting the X-20 Tours for the past few weeks and agree with everything Double Bogey said. I am hitting the ball much more solid and have the ability to work right to left, something I haven't been able to do in the past.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
