  1. Wondering Mark if you have any recommendations for driver/irons that you
    recommend for a taller player? I know people reckon that you don’t
    necessarily need taller clubs, but my swing suits taller clubs, and I am
    wondering if there are any that you think are more suitable to being taller
    than others, particularly interested in your thoughts on a driver. I’ve
    been to a Callaway fitting day and spoken to the pro at my club, we’re
    looking at X Hot pro irons at the moment, but undecided about a
    driver/woods. ?

  2. I tried these irons today at Haggin Oaks in Sacramento, California. I have
    been playing the older Callaway Razr X irons for the last year, and they
    have been good clubs. Yet I am looking for something a little more. I have
    had a go with these clubs at a few different stores, and today was able to
    hit it on a true driving range. They just feel right to me. The ball jumps
    off the face with little vibration, almost forged feeling. I was able to
    control the flight of the ball much better. And I was able to hit a 4
    iron…OK. A club that has always given me trouble, and a hybrid in my bag.
    Yet I get the feeling with some practice, I could hit this 4 with no
    problem. I believe a set of these will be coming to my golf bag in the
    coming weeks. Thanks for the review.?

  3. How do these compare to the Titleist MB’s or AP2’s please Mark has any one
    tried either, I have the 710 MB and I’m curious to know please, cheers

  4. @nikothewalru I had the same concern but after comparing a set of these to
    my ping i15 irons I can confirm that these actually go higher, so cranking
    lofts works if the clubs are engineered to fly

  5. I got the project x shafts and they are the same length as the TM Rac LT’s
    that they were replacing. I don’t know if maybe the KBS shaft is longer,
    but 8 irons TM to XhotPro is the exact same length. After hitting them for
    a month now and have some rounds played, I really enjoy these irons, being
    a high ball hitter the stronger loft helps me keep it lower

  6. “…actually it probably is my 5 iron” LOL – outstanding! Great review,
    Mark. Not sure what the idea is behind jacking up lofts on “players” irons.
    I don’t need my 7 iron to go as far as my 6 iron – I’ve already got one.

  7. @Kenneth Lee not necessarily, I’m off 10 and use the I20s, and if anything
    I could use something with less forgiveness as they just balloon up (
    185-190 with a 6 iron) and I would prefer something like the calaway X
    Forged. You don’t have to be good to use them, you just use which ever
    irons feel the best for you, I20s or XHot Pros

  8. Bought these off the rack with Nippon steels two weeks ago. First two
    rounds with them, I was constantly overshooting the greens, even when I was
    adjusting for the extra distance. They’re nice to hit though and much more
    forgiving than my MP59s even when you’re off the sweet spot a bit.

  9. i20’s are better but you should be a very low handicapper to really
    appreciate the i20’s. I’m not a low handicapper and have to be realistic,
    so I bought the Callaway X Hot Pro irons. But I’m striving to get a lower
    handicap and then the i20’s will be on my wish list.

  10. Did my custom fit today and it came down to these x-hot pros and the AP1’s.
    the callaways had slightly better numbers then he put in a Pxi shaft and
    wow. Felt so buttery smooth. The x hots won me over instantly and can’t
    wait to get them next week.

  11. You should compare these to the JPX 825 pro. Work in a golf shop and both
    of those irons blew me away this year.

  12. Good point I think my point is simple, understand your distance and where
    it is coming from.
