| Callaway X-22 Key Feature: Precision Notch Weighting that positions weight more around the perimeter for a high MOI. Tru-Bore tech that dampens vibration. And most of all, VFT, S2H2 and 360-Degree Undercut Channel that helps move the CG farther back from a bigger hitting area. What We Like: The Tour-inspired shape masks some hard-core technology behind the clubface. Who It’s For: Golfers looking for a lot of science in a traditionally shaped iron. Specs: 3-LW with X-22 graphite or steel shafts. Custom options available. callawaygolf.com | $699/$899 |
Callaway X-Forged Key Feature: A Progressive Dual Notch Weighting system that adds weight to shorter irons and removes it from longer irons to provide a “Flighted CG” that optimizes trajectory and distance control throughout the set. What We Like: We like the White Chrome finish, as well as the very versatile sole design. (Shhh. They’re easy to hit, too.) Who It’s For: Better players who want an extra dose of forgiveness in a set of very workable forged irons. Specs: 2-PW with Royal Precision Project X shafts. callawaygolf.com | $899 |
Cleveland golf CG Gold/Red Key Feature: A Gelback insert low and behind the clubface for enhanced feel. The Red is a firmer model with less offset, and the Gold is a softer, midsized model that has more offset. What We Like: Feel reigns supreme, and so does distance control with both sets. We couldn’t help but notice a few Tour players opting to use the Golds. They’re just too forgiving to overlook. Who It’s For: Anyone, thanks to a cool 3-prong fitting system for both irons. Specs: Available in 3-PW, in either steel or graphite shafts. clevelandgolf.com | $699 |
