Hi mate's! As I said in my introduction thread I'm not happy with my actual irons. And looking for game improvement I want to change them. I tried (well only the 6 iron) the X-20's and I feel very confrotable with them. But I would like to read the point of view of the owners of this irons. And also from all of you, what do you think about this irons?

Thanks for your help.

Regards!

I would try and find a place where you can try lots of different irons before you make a purchase. I was set on the Cobra FP's but when I tried them on Sunday I didn't like them, so I ended up with the Clevelands which I really like. Here are some irons you may want to try, considering you have the same handicap as me these should fit your ability level, although buy whatever you feel the most comfortable with.

Cleveland CG Gold
Callaway X-20
Cobra FP
Nike Ignite
Mizuno MX-25
Ping G5
Taylormade R7
Titleist 775.CB

Thanks! Sadly here in Mexico we don't have many options when buying clubs.

And now that I was reading the specifications of certain clubs it says "Offset". What does it means? (Minimal Offset, Maximum Offset, etc)

Rergards!

First off, I have the X-18's, which are almost exactly the same as the X-20's and I love them. Secondly the offset is for people who want to hit their irons straight if they normally fade them, or for people who want to hit a draw when they normally hit their irons straight. Hope that helps and good luck finding irons that you like :)

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

i hit these as well as the cleveland cg golds and taylormade r7s
going into it i was leaning towards the x-20s but after hitting all of them... i narrowed it down to the clevelands and taylormade... so point being i like both of them better and i ended up with the r7s... however, they still felt very solid and nice, just the others felt better to me

XTD Pro - 9.5* - GD YSQ
GS Tour - 15* -GD Red Ice
Rescue TP - 17* - Fujikura TP
Idea Pro Gold - 20* - Mitsubishi JavlnFX
MP-30, 4-PW - Standard Lofts / 2* flat - TT DG RAC Z TP (54*/10*) X-Forged (60*/10*)Scotty Cameron TeI3 - 35"

Thanks for your help, I think I will go for the X-20, I don't know why but I like them a lot.

Thanks!

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
