Callaway X-18 Steel Men’s Iron Golf Set Clubs Awarded Golf Digest’s Prestigious ‘Editor’s Choice’ Award

X-Series Irons from Callaway Golf have long been favored by some of the best players in the world because of their performance-enhancing technologies and by recreational golfers due to their forgiveness and great looks. The new X-18 Irons combine many of the same patented Callaway Golf core technologies used in earlier X-Series models with a new traditional head shape and size, and high-polish finish. The X-Series legacy of performance continues.

10 Reasons Callaway X-18 Clubs Will Improve Your Golf Game
1.- No fat shots for the X18. What’s the deal with those soles? Digging is nearly impossible, provided you pace your swings in a smooth rhythm. It is almost like hitting a hybrid club! Golly, this heads are THICK!

2.- HIGH trajectory. There is only one way with the X18’s: UP. The shafts’s kickpoint and the head’s massive size make it all but impossible for the ball to go elsewhere. Now those water hazards and greenside bunkers are worries of the past!. from the 4 to the PW, the ball will carry all the way to the limit, even if you hit it less than perfect, which brings me to the next feature…

3.- Extreme forgiveness. Almost to the point of boredom. Thin shots are rare and they lose little distance, and only because of the lower trajectory. Toe shots hold their line very well, but maybe losing 5 yards at most. I am not used to such massive clubs and I found myself hitting a few shanks at the start, but fans of game-improvement clubs will have no problem dealing with this head.

4.- Straight as arrows. That means this clubs are one-trick ponies: high and straight, a treat that the vast majority of golfers will welcome with open arms.

5.- Get out of the rough EASY. Such bulky heads and big soles prove VERY handy on rough lies, as they are able to muscle those balls out of the cabbage in a snap. Amazing, even better than a few hybrids I play.

6.- Excellent feel on the graphite shafts. The RCH 85i are among the nicest feeling shafts I’ve played lately, because they DO let you feel the ball but eliminate a lot of vibration out of scene, and I favor that because of my constant battle with pain in my joints. Add one up for this set for older players who also suffer from pain in the hands.

7.- Accuracy. Yes, big clunky head now can be quite precise when it comes to point-and-shoot. This means you MUST take extra caution when setting up to the ball, because it will fly exactly where the face is looking at. The 8 and 9 irons are very easy to land on the green from 150-140 yards!

8.- Distance is a specialty of the X18. Provided you have a well-grooved swing and enough speed, the 6 iron could very well give 185 yards when teed up. The 3 and 4 irons are as long as hybrids, and the RCH85i shafts contribute a lot on the distance thing.

9.- Easy swings all day long. This stick almost swing themselves. They are very easy to control when you stop the urge for killing the ball, a task the X18 do not perform too well. MId-slow tempos are when the X18 demand, even with the S flex shaft.

10.-The Pitching Wedge is a superb iron for bump-and-run approaches. Ideal help sometimes come in unusual ways, doesn’t it? When you need your ball to land and roll 30-40+ feet on the green, this PW performs beautifully.

Golfer Reviews:

My dad bought me the Clubs i have been wanting (callaway x18s) and they hit like nothing you have ever felt in your life. i love my callaways i just got them today and haven’t played a real round with them yet but i hit em outside and at the driving range and i just fell in love with them. if your looking for a good set of clubs i HIGHLY recomend these. im only 16 and im an inspiring professional golfer. these clubs cant be beat….well maybe by the x20s but not by much.

Beautiful irons with a very natural feel, really does add extra yards to your game

Went out and bought a set of X-18’s after hitting some balls on the range with them. The clubs has to be one of the nicest I have ever hit with all shots (even miss hits) travelling far and straight. The club also is really soft and forgiving on impact. Looks great in the bag for that added flare. Great addition to my kit, and would recommended them to any one from the beginner to the course pro. Great value for money.

I bought these clubs after playing with the same set for 10 years. I must say what a difference in technology from then till now. I can hit the ball further. I can also hit the ball more accurate. I am getting better all around and i would suggest these clubs to anyone who is ready to take golf more seriously.

Just picked up a set of these irons and I couldn’t be happier. It’s true when they say these clubs hit straight. In fact, they hit very straight. These are a nice upgrade over the set of irons I was using. There really isn’t anything bad I can say about them. Now I just need to adjust to the distance they give me!

I needed to replace the set I started with, but did not want to go overboard. I was playing on the course one day and snapped the head off of my six iron. A friend we were playing with went home on a break and got a Callaway six iron that her husband was not using and I was hooked. I always felt confident when I took that club out to hit it. I played this past weekend with the X18 and saw what I expected. I hit further, straighter and with more confidence. I would recommend these irons to anyone.
