I don't see them on the website, but you may want to check at an actual store with a custom ordering system to get the list of shafts available.

Online from Callaway they offer the Nippon 990's.

[sub][size=4][size=5]I just got back from Golf Town and the price in Canada for these is 1099. I was also quoted an upcharge of $25 per for the C-Tapers direclty from the Callaway rep. Is the upcharge for C-Tapers just a Canadian thing?[/size][/size][/sub]

[cmaggiri]

I also was told that custom orders are coming from Mexico.

[/quote] $25 is cheaper than here, $30 up-charge in the US, and someone posted on WRX no up-charge? That leads me to think that the PXI isn't the real deal after all because they are just as expensive as the C-Tapers. But I am buying them regardless of the cost.

I'm pretty sure callaway got a heavy discount buying a LARGE quantity of PXi. Not so (hence the upcharge) with the C tapers.

I was thinking the same thing. Callaway isn't putting anything made-for in any of their X Forged, Xtreme, or X Hot Pro line up.

We need Harry to stop by or one of the Callaway Mafia Boy's to chime in and answer the question. I am buying the irons, but now that the C-Tapers are +30 per club I don't know what to do.

I would check around a few more places because I really didn't think there was going to be an upcharge for C-Tapers in the X Forged. I thought I read someone asked Harry or Chad this directly and there was an error somewhere when it listed there was. I thought I saw they were going to correct it.

[cmaggiri]

This was the price given by the Callaway rep not the retailer. I hope it is an error otherwise the Adams CMBs are looking more attractive.

[/quote] hayzooos thats what I thought too, hopefully Harry can chime in today sometime and give us some insight. He should be boxing up my new red and white staff bag and shipping it to me today! Lol!

[birdiedoublebogey]

S300 fellas!!! Then you dont have to worry about upcharges on flavor of the month shafts!!!!!!!!!

[radiman]

If c tapers can be had at the same price, then this will be my new set for sure. It's between these and the CMB's. It's really going to come down to which shaft works best for me.

EXACTLY....this is why im not going to just pull the trigger. i wanna try these with a few different shafts. BTW, if there is an upcharge for c-tapers, how about a down charge for DG's.

[/quote] I like the DG's, but I need +1/2 longer than standard, so I would need to have them swing weighted because the weight would be way to heavy for me. I personally like DG's better than any other shaft, I see they have the DG Xp shafts for no upgrade, so i may go that route, you can't go wrong with DG's.

[birdiedoublebogey]

ya S300 are pretty much the standard. I think all players irons should come with s300s to be honest. I would be so easy to get them off the rack! Might be $$$.

I can't wait to hit these on saturday....

Just ordered a set with DG S300 +1". I prefer a lower ball flight and this shaft still contends or outperforms the newer shaft on the market. Great looking head and bought without hitting them....

[/quote] I hear you! I may have to go to Golfsmith in Birmingham Al just to hit these prior to ordering. Living in FL you would think we would have good golf shops, not the case in the Pensacola area, most of the guys working in the few shops are clueless!

True, but I am a big guy at 6'6", 255. I play them now in a set of Wilson FG62s and have had good luck with them. It is not that easy to get a set custom fitted for my frame.

[mwmilk123]

i honestly think you can't go wrong with a good matched set of dynamic golds as long as you dont mind the weight.

Mike is correct. No made for shafts in those lines. The PXi are the real deal Holyfield.

[WhiZ]

I'm ordered mine with my usual setup.... X100s soft-stepped +1/2" and 1 degree upright. Hoping they'll be on their way soon. I've tried lighter shafts in the past (KBS Tour 90s most notably) and hated the results. I hit a high ball to begin with and the 90s went into the stratosphere.

The C tapers should be the same price as the tours are no up charge.

[/quote]Whining, just stating our position/thoughts on information that there wouldn't be a up-charge on these shafts early on in the process, so you can keep comments like this to yourself.

[Puppetmaster]

For the ones asking about the C-Tapers, have you tried the PXi yet? Just wondering why so many are bent on C-Tapers.
