new callaway irons - next step from Callaway X-12 pro series

Recommended Posts

Hi I am a 10 hcp player who used to be a hcp 6 player, but due to years of not playing I have drooped down to 10 hcp.

A have played the Callaway x-12 Pro series with S-300 steel shafts.

I feel that it is time for a new set that does not help as much as these does.

My problem is that i hit the ball way too high and think that a iron with less weight in the bottom will help me get a better ball flight. Also I need a better distance control than what I have now.

I have always liked Callaways irons so I prefer irons from them.

 

I am considering the following :

 

Callaway Razr X Tour.

Callaway X tour.

 

How difficult are these to handle ?

 

Please give me your input.

 

Soren.

Driver: Titleist 913 D2, PX 6.0 73 g
4 wood : Callaway Raxr fit extreme Stiff
Irons : Ping G 25 4-9, CFS XS
Wedges G25 pw+uw+sw , CFS XS + Ping Eye2 Xg lw, CFS XS.
Putter : Odessey 2 ball

Diablo Forged, X Tours, 2009 X Forged....note all of these are forged irons for feel.

Wasn't a big fan of X Tours when I demo'd them.

Thanks for the reply`s.

I am at the moment looking for a Mizuno alternative - JPX-825 or mp-53.
The reason is I hit the ball very high so i need a set of irons that doesnt hit very high.
Which shaft would you recommend ?
my SS is 86 mph with a 6 iron.

Appreciate your time.

Very similiar story for me. Been playing the x-12 pros for 9 years and looking to get new sticks. Same handicap senerio as you. I've been testing many head and shaft combos.
You should look at the kbs line of shafts. Especially the stepped series. They promote a very low ball flight. I was originally drawn to them but it was too low for me.
As for heads I've decided to attempt a little less forgivess in hopes that it will inspire me to practice more. I'm leaning towards the ap2,s. Probably too high ball flight for you but give these ones a hit if you think you'd like to go more feel. Mizuno mp-64. Adams cmb. Titleist cb. If you want forgiveness there's so many out there now but they also seem to revolve around more height.
