The Overview of Callaway X-24 hot Irons
The Callaway X Series is about giving serious golfers total performance with enhanced forgiveness for the ultimate in confidence. The new Callaway X-24 hot Irons deliver in every way by offering technology, innovation and playability that will take your game to a new level.
Using the Progressive Wall Reduction System, Callaway Golf engineers lowered the center of gravity (CG) 6 percent more than in the X-18 Irons. Progressive Wall Reduction means the CG gets progressively lower throughout the set. The CG is lowest in the long irons, helping you get the ball airborne more easily.
Short, Straight, Hollow Hosel. The breakthrough Callaway Golf design that shortened the traditional hosel length, allowing weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. The hollowed-out or Tru-Bore Technology is part of the S2H2 design, and allows the shaft tip to extend through the clubhead to the sole, which improves feel and control.
While the X24 Irons do not fit into the ’super-game improvement’ category, they are considered game improvement irons, to be sure. That being said, they are not radically different than the older X-Tour irons. As you can see in the pictures above and below, the X-24 hot Irons are slightly longer heel to toe, have a slightly wider sole, and a slightly thicker top line. Overall, they really just seem like a meatier X-Tour iron…looks wise at least.
It’s hard to argue with the performance of a Callaway iron. Their slogan, ‘A better game by design’ generally holds true. These irons are remarkably easy to hit straight. Thin, fat, little toward the toe…the heel…the ball wants to go where you were aiming. Thin shots still get a lot of distance. The sole of the club really resists digging, so hitting fat shots is a little more difficult. The only real problem with this excellent forgiveness…is that when you do hit one off line, say you come inside out, and don’t get the clubface square, your push/slice is still going to go that much further off line.
At address the X-20 looks quite beefy, as you can see above. Perhaps a little less chunky than the super game improvement irons, but significantly more beefy than a blade. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Align this clubface behind the ball, and you certainly will be very confident. How could you possibly think of hitting a poor shot with this big face behind the ball?
These irons are good enough for Rocco Mediate to play on the PGA tour…they should be good enough for the average weekend golfer to bag. If you’re looking for a set of irons that will get the ball up in the air, and straight, without worrying too much about the thicker topline or sole…by all means go hit somex-24s at your local pro shop. They definitely should win some awards on their looks alone!
