Callaway ERC Hot Irons

[le burger]

Anybody tried them?

New irons from ERC line from Callaway in Japan. 6 club set w/ NS Pro 950GH goes for about US$1000 in Japan. Has anybody tried them? They look a lot like fusions but ERC hot is forged. Hosel looks different too. Tried fusions and found them to be quite good but light in weight. I wonder if ERC hot is heavier than the fusions, hence more playability in the rough etc. I recently purchased the x-forged irons and liked the feel of it. Currently considering getting the set on my next trip to Japan, along with a Hyper ERC driver 10.5 with Rombax. Would be a waste to find out later that they are just the same as the fusions. Any info is much appreciated.

Callaway is an American company. They happen to sell the ERC line only in Japan. So, in actuality, ERC only makes foreign income... good for the US. And a lot of equipment is made in China but I heard the ERC line is manufactured and assembled entirely in Japan. Not 100% sure though.

ERC hot irons aren't new, as I think they are one year old, but they are great clubs. Forged head, spring steel face (just a bit different feel than a 1 piece forging, but still pretty soft between the forged head and insert behind the face).

 

They are a very high quality club, forgiving, and although they didn't take Japan by storm, I haven't talked to anyone who played them and didn't like them.

Regardless of 'where they are made' this is a golf equipment review not a USA only boys club.

These irons have ended a long search for a set of irons that look terrific from address. They have a small amount of progressive offset, just enough to reassure me. I can't see the back of the club with any iron 3-pw, so they give the look and feel of a blade with a thin top line too. The transition from hostel to face is a smooth work of art like the lines of a beautiful woman. The ball flight is mid trajectory with strong lofts although I haven't been able to confirm the lofts online. 

These are going to be my gamers as you say in the USA, I couldn't care less where they are made but they get a 10/10 rating from me in the UK.
