Callaway X-22 Individual Iron (Lob Wedge)
The goal of Callaway’s X-Series irons has always been lofty: to set the performance standard for the industry. Now Callaway does it again with the X-22 irons, the best X-Series irons the company has ever made. Callaway’s X-22 irons are dialed in for maximum performance, with such features as Precision Notch Weighting, VFT Technology, a Modified Tru-Bore design, and a tour-inspired head shape. It’s no wonder that the X-22 irons won a gold medal in the “game improvement irons” category from Golf Digest’s 2009 Hot List. As one tester said of the X-22s: “I could hit these blindfolded. Sign me up right now.” Currently sitting in tour player Rocco Mediate’s bag, the X-22s received five stars in three of the four Hot List categories. The X-22s are the heirs of the unbelievably successful X-20 irons, which were used by Mediate as well as Senior U.S. Open Champion Eduardo Romero and LPGA winner Leta Lindley. Callaway’s X-22 irons are dialed in for maximum performance and serious forgiveness.Callaway Golf Technologies The X-22 irons are outfitted with several core technologies, including both relatively new innovations and technologies that have stood the test of time. Callaway maximized the perimeter weighting of the X-22s to create a moment of inertia (MOI) that’s 10 percent higher than earlier versions, giving you more leeway on off-center strikes. This boosts the club’s overall forgiveness and stability, while still maintaining the center-of-gravity position that produces an ideal trajectory and feel. The X-22s VFT Technology, meanwhile, maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting to create even more distance and forgiveness. And a crucial improvement comes in the form of the S2H2 design, a patented technology that shortens the length of the hosel, allowing the weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. Add in a 360-Degree Undercut Channel–which maximizes perimeter weighting by moving the center of gravity even lower a (more…)
