Henry Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Curious to find out if the New X Blade GR is a forged iron and how it would compare with the ViQ Forged irons in terms of who best it is suited for. Is the X geared for the low handicap golfer? Is it for the better player? You get the picture! Any thoughts are welcomed.

Duffer19 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 The BS site seems to suggest that the face of the X-blade is forged but then welded to the cavity body. The X series has always been marketed towards better/stronger and lower hcp players. I am surprised to find graphite shaft option in this new x but strangely only with S flex and not R (the graphite spec seems to suggest playing profile not unlike the GD 75 or Speeder 603). ViQ has always been easier to play and aims towards the mid and higher hcp players. They are more forgiving and offer a little more offsets. If you are a low hcp and stronger player, then go for the X but you cannot go wrong with the new ViQ forged which I consider better than 2 previous models.
