Would anyone know the difference if any between the retail vs. tour ?
Is there a tour version? i know about a Prototype, but i believe that was before the X-forged went retail? I could be wrong.

Anyone with any insight would be greatly appreciated. Apparently the price is significantly different, the only vague explanation I've seen is, the Tour have no serial number(but this is typical with any Tour) and better forging?

thanks

Great article, I encourage alot of people to read it. The reason why I asked was because, someone was trying to sell X-Forge heads only for 1350.00 i said WTF!! is so specially about those heads?? But I'm sure some crazy nut will buy it.

There is a difference between "Tour issue" and "Tour version".

For Callaway, they offer (usually at no extra cost) a retail club version that they call "tour", just like TM does with their TP versions. They are slightly different in spec, things like offset, sole width and head size are different to accomidate the more advanced players.

In terms of the X-Forged, they are "Player" clubs so they are already what Callaway would condiser their "tour" version, to put it simply, they do not make a "non-tour" version of the X-Forged. Now that's not to say they don't have "Tour issue" which the tour players have demoed or tested. On that line I agree with Supercow that it makes very little sense to purchase "Tour issue" equipement for the purposes of playing with, for collecting sure why not but if you were good enough to be using "tour issue" equipment then you wouldn't need to buy it, they would be giving it to you for free :P

What does everyone think about these wedges? Personally I feel like they're a bit underrated. I love my 56* SW and 60* LW Callaway X-Forged wedges, and I think that they compare favorably with my friend's Cleveland wedges. I don't know if its just the marketing but I like the "mack daddy" grooves.

So what does everyone think about these wedges?

I have the X-Tour Chrome and I really, really like it. I just got it like two weeks ago, and it's just got a great feel. I loved my Nike SV Tour but this is comparable, and probably even superior in feel and just overall quality.

Love them. They have a solid, heavy feel, and they set up very nicely. I have forged clubs all the way through my set, like butter!

The Mack Daddy grooves are ridiculous when they're new. Too much spin for my taste. But after they wear down a little bit I think they are great.

I've got the 52 degree and really like it. I tested out titleist, cleveland and a few others and it felt the best for me.

My only problem is I seem to hit it a tad thin more than my other wedges but I think it's kinda in my head since I just got the club a month or so ago.

i rock the 56 and love it, beter than my old Vokey
i just wish they made a 52 w less bounce, as i use it from the FW most of the time, I like it to dig in more
nice at address...i didnt get the MD grooves though and it still spins nice
i hit into a 95yd Par 3 (was actually about 115, but downhill) hit it full and she came back about 3 ft for me

I have the 52*, 56*MD and 60* MD with the C-Grind...couldn't be happier with them. I'm still dialing in some distances, especially with my gap wedge, but I'm not disappointed with my wedges. The MD grooves have chewed through a dozen balls so far but that's to be expected.

i have the 60* MD with C-grind and i love it! the weight/balance is perfect and the spin is excellent. make sure you wear the groove a bit with range balls coz the MD grooves will eat your ball (even on half swings).

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Some people learn in different ways. I am a big visual learner. I like to see it, work with it, figure stuff out myself.  If people are upset, odds are they are not going to listen or be in the mental state to learn the facts. It might be something left as an email or meeting on a different day.

      Okay, so… what do you want then? The explanations from both Dave and I are accurate. I find that the truth is generally the best explanation. Or, if everyone plays the same tees, just post the course handicap. If they're not dumbbells, give them the info. Educate them a little. They can take it — they're adults.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Telling guys who don't carry "official" handicaps, who have never even looked at the USGA website, that the number they see from the league is their "Index" and not really the number of strokes they get for any particular round and instead, it's the number used to calculate the number of strokes they get, it just makes their eyes glaze over and then they complain to me, "that doesn't make any sense." These are not dumbbells either. (Well, some are.) For the most part they run insurance agencies, they're accountants, doctors, lawyers, etc. I'm just trying to come up with the simplest explanation possible.   Maybe I'll just give them the formula and have them figure it out on their own so they know why their "handicap" was what it was on a round just completed and what it will be next week. Either that and just not mention anything about the "Index" and just give them their course handicaps, both for the current round and for the round that follows.
