Callaway Legacy Black Forged Irons - Stenson Model

How do the legacy Black compare to the legacy irons with the purple paint jobs, has anyone hit both?

Haven't seen the ones with the purple paint....When were these released?

I think i*windows is talking about the 2012 Legacy (non black) irons. I haven't hit them, but the main difference is the Legacy Black line is more of a player's club with a thinner top line and smaller head and is a fully forged iron, whereas the non black Legacy is more of a game improvement iron with a forged body and a steel face. Just looking at some reviews in Japanese and the 2012 non black Legacy seems to be a very good iron if it fits your eye.

I acquired a set of Legacy Black (Stenson Model) a little over 2 years ago, great looking irons with buttery feel too. The 2013 X Forged are close in appearance and feel. The Apex pros however don't come close in terms of feel, if you can find a set of the legacy Blacks its well worth pulling the trigger you wont be disappointed. You'll get some envious looks from your playing partners too.

I hate to do it, but am going to put mine up for sale on bst......I'm sure i will regret it.

Does anyone know if they made heavier weighted heads depending on the sets original build? They are a 1/4 short with dgs300. Had to add around 10g to some of them to hit a d2ish sw.

You must have found something impressive to dethrone the Stenson's.

Went to the range today and I think I changed my mind.

You probably won't see much difference between other irons of same loft.....thats not the point

It's the look, feel, forgiveness, ballflight, or turf interaction is what separates em

What that's worth to an individual is personal.....

Always said irons in same class are more similar than different...its subtleties and personal preferences that separates them

Yup been there many times. Glad i'm not the only one.

Hard to beat those Stenson's.

I took 10 7 irons to the range the other day, the Stenson 7 and the i200 7 were the 2 standouts. Had one shot in particular with the Stenson 7 that had me thinking the other 7 irons didn't stand a chance.

Did i hit 10 perfect Stenson shots in a row? No. But i sure like trying.

Mind you, the last time out doing my little experiment the i200's were on the block, couldn't hit a shot. This time out i hit the i200 the best out every one i brought including the Stenson.

Hopefully u find a way to keep them.
