X Tour irons
Price: £849.00
In creating the X Tour's, Callaway were looking to produce an iron that has a classic appearance with enough forgiveness not to put off mid or high handicappers

Design and Tech Benefits
Forged cavity backed iron with two piece head design and steel shafts. Callaway's brand new forging uses a two piece head design with the face welded to the main body and rear cavity section. “Extreme Notch Weighting” should boost forgiveness and stability whilst helping to lower the centre of gravity and make long irons more playable.
Golf Monthly Verdict
The X-Tours produce tremendous distance and a powerful trajectory. As they're forged you get a great feel from the face and, although not the most forgiving club on the market, a centre strike will be crisp and solid. Purists may find the top edge a little thick but in terms of feel and strike they excel. Well balanced and relatively easy to hit they are expensive but worth the investment.
