Callaway X-18 Tour Irons

Forged precision and feel. Callaway Golf forgiveness and playability. It’s one of the most talked-about debuts on tour this season. The Callaway X-Tour Irons are now in the bags of players like Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam and Charles Howell III.

Forged 1020 Carbon Steel Body: The X-Tour's advanced two-piece design features a forged 1020 carbon steel body, with a forged 1020 carbon steel face welded in 360 degree undercut channel, which enlarges the sweet spot and provides perimeter weighting previously unavailable on a performance iron.

Extreme Notch Weighting: Extreme notch weighting focuses the perimeter weight to the extreme heel and toe helping to raise the Moments of Inertia for resistance to twisting on off-center hits.

Traditional Size and Shape: In designing a performance iron with a traditional size and shape, many new design features were incorporated into Callaway's X-Tour irons. The X-Tour blade length is shorter from heel to toe, while the toe has been raised and squared. A thin, understated, pared-off top line and straight leading edge provide the look "traditional" players prefer, while reduced hosel offset and a beveled, narrower sole combine to add workability from all types of conditions.

Blind-Bore Hosel Technology: A hosel design longer than the patented S2H2 design of past Callaway irons moves the center of gravity towards the heel and higher in the face. This repositioning of the center of gravity provides enhanced workability, and the increased trajectory control more accomplished players seek.
