Callaway X-16 Irons - steel shaft. Golf Irons - Reviews

On 2004-10-04, Bill W rated this Callaway X-16 Irons - steel shaft. a 3...(4544)



Purchase: I purchased these irons from an On line retailer for about $600.00
Pros: I originally had gotten an L wedge with rental car points and decided I like the feel. So after homework and shopping around I bought the set. They are great looking and seem to hit well. I have usually hit irons well so I really did not see a huge difference. The short irons seem to out perform clubs I have had in the past.
Cons: In a little over a month I have broken two clubs. The first was a 3 iron and it was the first time the club ever struck a ball. It was a clean hit, the shaft just snapped off just above the hosel. The second was about 3 weeks later, the 5 iron broke in exactly the same place. It had hit a fair amount of balls and I hit it just a little "fat" but certainy not enoght to break it. For this reason am afraid I don't have a lot of faith in these clubs. Callaway did replace the first one, The second is not back yet, but I expect replacement. I can see one club failing, things happen, but the second has me worried. Given what I know now I might not buy these clubs again. And it is a pain waiting for the repair/replacement.
Quality: For the reasons stated above I would have to rate the construction questionable. Cosmetically they are very nice.

Review Summary: If I had to do it all over I would have either spent the extra money for graphite or gone to another manufacturer.
