Callaway X-22 Irons have always had the same goal in mind when it comes to X Series irons set the performance standard for the industry
. The new Callaway X-22 Irons don't disappoint and are the best X Series irons Callaway has ever created.
Once armed with this new set of clubs we headed out to the range and to play a quick 18 holes. On the range we noted that especially at setup, these irons look fabulous. Similar to most GI irons, (game improvement) the Callaway X-22's have a thick topline, but overall size and shape are very much different than many of the GI clubs we have played recently. The shape is very much "Player's type" with just a thicker overall feeling. Definitely a thinner topline than we have been used to in the past. As someone that has played both types of clubs, thick lines have never bothered me. Results are what matters.
That is where these irons shine. One the range we noticed two things with this set of clubs. The first is that THEY ARE VERY FORGIVING. When you miss them on the toe or heel, they fly as straight as an arrow. The good thing about the X-22's compared to others we have tried though is that when you do miss it, you still get the feedback that lets you know how to correct it. That is something we did not expect but was a pleasant surprise. The second thing we noticed with this set is that the feeling of good impact was better than we had felt in many of the GI irons. Many times we feel as though with clubs that are built for forgiveness, you miss that "great shot feeling". With these you definitely get that.
