X20 Irons from Callaway

The X Series is about giving serious golfers total performance with enhanced forgiveness for the ultimate in confidence. The new Callaway X-20 Irons deliver in every way by offering technology, innovation and playability that will take your game to a new level. Using the Progressive Wall Reduction System, Callaway Golf engineers lowered the center of gravity (CG) 6 percent more than in the X-18 Irons. Progressive Wall Reduction means the CG gets progressively lower throughout the set. The CG is lowest in the long irons, helping you get the ball airborne more easily. With its traditional styling and Callaway Golf core technologies, the Callaway X-20 Irons  provide the performance and forgiveness to play the game with enhanced confidence.
Callaway X-20 Irons Features:

Extreme Notch Weighting: Redistributes more weight to the extreme perimeter to create a high MOI for greater forgiveness and control.
Progressive Wall Reduction System: Enables Callaway Golf engineers to lower the center of gravity for improved feel and playability with optimal trajectories.
Callaway Core Technologies: VFT® Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2® increases discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead; 180-Degree Undercut Channel maximizes perimeter weighting by moving the CG lower and farther back in the clubhead, enlarging the hitting area and stabilizing the clubhead for more forgiveness.

I ordered the Callaway X-20 Irons from Callaway a few weeks ago with Rifle 5.0 shafts, +1" and 2* upright. As always, Callaway's customer service is top-notch and the clubs arrived promptly. After 3 rounds with Callaway X-20 Irons, here are my impressions: These babies are very forgiving. I just upgraded from Ping Eye2 BeCu's, and while I will always love them and refuse to sell them, the 5-7 strokes I've taken off my score are impossible to ignore. Mishits are not severely punished, but you still know when you haven't caught it just right. The trajectory is nice and high, but I haven't had a problem with ballooning at all. The feel of these Callaway X-20 Irons is about the best I've experienced with cast clubs, although still not quite as buttery soft as the BeCu's when you hit it dead square. One more thing, the Callaway X-20 Irons are probably a good 2 irons longer than my Eye2's, granted the lofts are quite a bit stronger, however I have played similarly lofted clubs in the past and these just seem longer. I'm still working on calibrating my yardages. Overall, I give these Callaway X-20 Irons an A+. They are long, forgiving, feel great, and aren't too massive like other game-improvement irons.
