Comments about Callaway Golf Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons:
I bought these in 5-PW with the X100 shafts to replace my old X-Tours with S300 shafts and my ball flight and spin rate immediately improved. I'm normally a high launch, high spin player and these knocked my trajectory down just a hair, I still hit the ball fairly high but my spin rate is the biggest improvement and is now more manageable. I don't struggle playing into the wind now. These clubs are also hot. I'm consistantly hitting my 8 iron 165yds on normal swings and hit a 6 iron to two feet on a 195yd par 3 my first time on the course. The only reason I didn't get the 3 and 4 iron was that I wanted a little extra forgiveness and got the X-Forged. The X-Prototypes are the best irons I've ever hit hands down.

Comments about Callaway Golf Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons:
The greatest irons around if you are an above average ball striker. The 3 and 4 iron look pretty thin, try 5-PW with 3,4 in X Forged. Anyone above a 5 handicap should try the Diablo Forged, they give a soft feel, very forgiving, and go a mile.

Comments about Callaway Golf Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons:
Only bought six iron as a test. These irons are supposedly for low single-digit handicappers, and I am a 12. So, was attracted by their great looks but unsure about my ability to hit them. So far, both on the range and during rounds, the iron has performed really well. Having no difficulty hitting them. Still considering whether to go to a full set.

Comments about Callaway Golf Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons:
I have the 2007 X Forged and bought this 9 iron to test drive before I buy the rest. This is the most incredible iron I have ever hit. It has a fair amount of forgiveness, and is a dart thrower. I hit this about 5-7 yards longer than my X Forged 9. The PX 6.0 shaft is good in it, but I'll be ordering the set in KBS. Good job Cally, another great iron!!!

Comments about Callaway Golf Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons:
Rewarded for good (but doesn't have to be perfect) ball striking. Mis-hits don't travel very far, which has the benefit of not getting into as much trouble when I mis-hit these irons vs. cavity backs going further into trouble. Still getting used to hitting these out of the rough. The grass seems to really slow the clubhead down and close the face. I don't think it is the club designers fault, but more my swing path being too shallow. The soft metal of the clubhead leads to great feel, but knicks very easily.

Comments about Callaway Golf Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons:
I started with oversize, worked my way to tour, then forged. I have had these for obout 2 years and they are the best thing ever happend to me. The feel is just amazing I have always hit long but these are just the best feeling clubs I have ever hit, they feel like nothing else. My club pro tryed then once I got them and told me "I see why you bought them". This gives Callaway the best Irons ever built.

I tried these clubs on a Demo day and they are without doubt the best clubs I have tried in many a year,( and I am 62). I could draw, fade, hit high or low with ease. A great club and will be in my bag as soon as I have saved up enough money.

Three (3) handicap or lessAnswered on 3/30/2010 by T-Man from Gaithersburg, MDA:
Obviously a lower handicap...but it truly depends on the players swing type. Anybody can hit it "pure" but it's the matter of which they hit it consistently pure which makes them a player. I would recommend these to under 7 handicaps. Shaping shots and lower trajectory is something a good player wants with his irons. It's basically trial and error...choose the iron which suits your playing ability.Answered on 5/11/2010 by Heff from Long Beach, CAA:
