I just bought a set of used Callaway X-14's;

being a Ping i3 man I sure hope I like them. They should arrive next week, I'll let you know what I think.

Al,

Callaway should be illegal there like drugs once hooked you can't stop using them.

X-14 are great my pro won't swop his.


I use the X-16 Pro Series, there all the same great.


Ian.

I'm currently considering a set of X series callaway irons... and am looking for the 'best bang for my buck'.

Should I be looking 14, 16, or 18?

Which ever you decide on check out Ebay, there are some great deals out there.

They are all great clubs. Try them out if you can.

I find a lot of pros (teaching) tell you to stay away from Callaway (as an advanced player) as they are mostly game improvement clubs. Personally I have never met a callaway I did not like x-14 included if I had to find a complaint I would say they go to straight and consisitent. A lot of people think once they reach a certain level in the game they need to play blades or something to prove how good a ball striker they are. I say why not take a bigger sweet spot and more consistency it can't hurt. Most of those a-pro's who say this **** can't break 80 I find.

However, tons of tour pros play callaway irons, so it's obviously not true.

X-14's are the best of the bunch, they are the best combo of decent looks and great performance. The only Callaway product I would play myself (and I hate investment cast cavity backs with a passion so that should tell you how good they are).

Enjoy Al, you wont regret it.

Thanks guys, I'm really looking forward to getting my set X-14 irons this week. I also found a used Callaway lob wedge (in great condition) in the golf store that was mis-marked for $40, now my set is complete. I can't wait to get my irons and some good weather so I can hit the range/course.

Wow, I just got my X-14's in the mail today; boy they sure are in great shape for a set of used clubs, and I got them at a really great price. Now all I need is some good weather so I can go out and test-drive these babies.

hhhhmmm, now is that a Callaway cart bag I see on Ebay??????


Ok ok, so I'm hooked.

GOLF HO ALERT! GOLF HO ALERT!

Time for an intervention, Al.

Say it with me - I don't always need OEM... I don't always need OEM...

Enjoy your new clubs

A few years back I bought a set of brand new X-14's graphites and loved them. As I improved over the year and began swinging faster, I switched over to the X-14 steels. I gave the graphites to my dad.

We both enjoy them. They're great. I can't really compare with anything else as they're my first set of clubs.

However, I did enjoy testing out the titanium hawkeyes. They spark when the clubhead strikes the ground.

The really bad part is I'm also a trumpet player and an avid photographer of almost 30+ years; you think golf is expensive, try pro line trumpets and digital cameras. Ouch!!
