Callaway x22 vs x22 tour

  2010 Callaway X-22 Tour Irons are an advanced edition of the X-20 irons manufactured in previous years. According to Callaway, the X-22s are designed for "accomplished golfers" who place high value on feel and stability.

  The Callaway X-22 Irons feature the modified "Tru-Bore" design, an advanced version of the original design. A polycarbonate plug at the end of the shaft leads to improved "feel" and performance as a result of less vibration. The club head shape features aspects designed for professional players, such as a thinner top line and narrow sole. However, Callaway has succeeded in combining such facets with an excellent visual appearance and a large sweet spot into a highly forgiving set of irons that can be played by a wide range of golfers of varying abilities.

  To improve on the highly successful X-20 Tour Irons, Callaway Golf engineers added new features that allow the X-22 Tour Irons to play even better and feel even softer. Precision Notch Weighting and a new sleeker hosel combine to raise the moment of inertia (MOI) for better stability and allow the center of gravity (CG) to be moved lower and more in line with the center of the face. This generates ideal trajectories and significantly enhances the level of feel. The head shape has been refined with the thinnest possible topline while still using a 360-Degree Undercut Channel, and the optimized sole width progression provides better turf interaction.

  I have played both and I think that what Harry put up is pretty close to being 100% accurate. The Callaway X-22 Irons are great GI clubs that keep the ball straight and have a huge sweet spot. The tours have much less and are also great clubs. I felt as though the Callaway X-22 Tour Irons did not really stack up against some of the player’s irons we have tried, but the Callaway X-22 Irons were great irons.
