Callaway forged 2013..........(!).... irons

[supo]

Has no one hit these ?

How and why is this possible ive not read one report on them apart from on wrx

Is it bec they are too reputed as american pop outs?

Well i built a set of these last week. Used them first ime yesterday

True temper monacco x flex 5 iron 38.125inch

After confirming directly with callaway japan they were in fact endo forged any hesitation soon faded and. I went in for a set that somone crazily sold for a steal of a price.

After a pretty solid range session pre match yesterday in some humid hot conditions iwas really quite anticipating some solid striking during my round in warm upi was hitting them beautifully

Had the first full view of exactly how these flighted shafts work hitting on a flat range wit targets all over the place

The 89pw are really quite a stronger flight tham the 456 the longer irons def get airborn with ease and the shorter irons are a noticeably tighter flight

The tight grooves make the ball sit very still and the hold i was getting

On the greens was very imprssive

These irons have a vey thin sole and a longer head wich is slightlyrounded they are les ofset than previous models and over all slightly smaller i compared them to my tour authentics which were amde for phil and ernie in2009. And the new version is along those lines but with new tech and a more thick feel

I can see why ryo is playing these

Detractors for me were few but the thing i didnt like was the neckshape theres nothing wrong with it

But after playing a certian style for a while now i found it hard goi back to this shape at address on course.

I hit the ball pretty well all day but i did find myself twitching the club about a bit in myhands to get the right look, something i dont do with a squarer shape these days.

If i had just one set of irons and these were them id be a very happy camper

Id get used to the soon enough

For playability these are sensational they are as good if not better than pretty much anyhting ive hit.

I was doing what i liked with themon the range ,and on a cpl of occasions in the game i did need to bend them big time and u can do it with these no issues at all.

One caveat a stronger taller player than i wud get a lot moreout of them than id did i built them to what i got them at which was too long.

Im backing that someone 6'2 ish and a strong A grade makrker absolutely kill these irons

They were too long for me i was choking down on them all match

Overall i think these irons are worth eveyones eye if urconsidering a new set

And especially if u like to move the ball abit

They have blade like performance but with a softer easyimpact

I really think these a good set of heads and a heck of a match shaft wise

Prob shud have built these to my specs........!

I like the look of these a lot, and knowing exactly which irons your talking about preferring to look down at, I would say its my only detractor from buying these, after looking down at perfection, its tough to move to anything else... but.... Im bored and need something to shake things up, just got back from a wonderful little golf foray and I think I've got about as good of a handle as I'm ever going to get on just about all the gear I have currently.

I'm just trying to figure out how you got your hands on some irons that aren't due out for 90 years.
