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.

Took the plunge and bought these irons to make me improve as a golfer from a 17 handicap and I am not disappointed at all. Handicap has dropped by 4 shots since I bought these and to me, they are the perfect balance between pure game improvers and low handicapper irons - you have to develop a consistent swing to get the best out of them but they still go well if you hit off centre. Hit them sweetly and god they are fantastic!! The terms penetrating ball flight and 'stop' were alien to me before I bought these but hit them at 90% sweet or more and they make you feel like a pro. No one has had a bad word to say about them, and I think they look great in the bag. Will have to be something special to make me change. Graeme Jenkins
