Callaway Steelhead X-16 Pro Series Golf Irons - Reviews

On 2004-02-11, Vann Piazza rated this Callaway Steelhead X-16 Pro Series a 5...(2790)



Purchase: Bought these off Ebay for $525 shipped, brand new. I got the chance to hit a few of these at a demo day and just LOVED them, so I spoiled myself and got a set!
Pros: Look: STUNNING! The polished finish is wonderful to look at. The top-line is a bit thinner than most Cally irons, nowhere near as thin as a blade, but not too chunky; a nice medium. Very confidence-inspiring. Performance & Feel: When struck solidly, they feel solid and you are rewarded. When mishits occur, distance loss is VERY minimal and accuracy doesn't suffer AT ALL. These clubs are great for mid-high handicappers and even low HC's too. They are insanely forgiving, provide a nice, low, penetrating ball flight, and you can work the ball very well. Price is great considering they were brand new and you can find new sets for $500 on Ebay no problem.
Cons: Sometimes I feel like these clubs are TOO forgiving! I'll get away with a bad swing now and then and sometimes I wish I hadn't. That's only because I'm really trying to get consistent ballstriking and these clubs could give a little more feedback. It's just hard to tell if you 'kinda' mishit it, where if you dit it the same way on a blade, the ball wouldn't go anywhere, the X16 will knock the ball out there just like you're used too. Not really considered a problem by some, but hardcore low-handicappers might want more feedback.
Quality: Top of the line Callaway construction. NO complaints here!

Review Summary: I love these irons! They have improved my game tremendously and keep giving me great shot after great shot. I will have these in my bag until Cally makes something better!
