WITB Ernie Els

[size="2"][size="2"]I was right behind him when he teed off on the 6th and he used the driving iron - I was wondering what it was.


He hit a lovely soft draw with it.[/size] [/size]

Christian Nilsson used the same club on the exact same hole with by what sounds of it the same result.

That is a fantastic viewing point behind the extended 6th tee at Wentworth which is basically positioned on the East Course and usually used as their 5th tee.

Lofts on those? 2-18, 3-21, 4-24?

"When I look down at my irons, I don't want them to seem totally straight. I want to see some round edges on the ground because that's when I know I can work the ball."

[TheMoneyShot]

Wow, the big easy is pimpin 3 of those x utility irons. They look so sweet!!!

[S.A. OSO]

I second the "Wow". It looks great.

Ernie wins it with the long putter...........
Will they ban the long putter now?

[scratchswinger]

When can I get a X Utility?

[Johnny]

yes sign me up for a 24 XHybrid

[J13]

Those hybrids look sweet. I wouldn't be surprised if Callaway drops the ball here. Again this is why they are bleeding cash instead of making it.

[b]Notes:[/b]
Roger Cleveland made a late tweak to Ernie's Callaway X Utility Prototype Irons on Wednesday, flattening the lie angle of all three of his utility irons (18-, 21-, and 24-degree) by half a degree. Yes with these guys, half a degree makes a difference.

[HabitualPINseeKER21]

Ernie another great player that has switched to a longer putter. Whatever works, use it.

[cliche]

not a fan of callaway, but i would like to give that Utility Prototype Iron a go

[Colum]

No 4 iron in Ernie's bag, I am surprised, I would have expected to see 1 more wedge in his bag.

[freddyottawa]

The 24 degree prototype utility is essentially his 4 iron. There will be alot of people wanting to try these now I would assume. They definitely worked for Ernie.

[jonn443]

I wonder how forgiving those utility irons are compared to the traditional wood-like hybrids.

[TimothyLYork1979]

I want that utility now!!! I truly hope they release that soon.

I hope Cally doesn't drop the ball and keep these utilities tour only. I know I'd buy one or two. I hope they think there'll be enough of a market to release these.
