Weirfan LBlack14 Came to the party late, would have suggested the x14 but the x12 are also great. Some of the easiest irons to hit ever made. Enjoy
LBlack14 Weirfan I've actually looked at both in person. Haven't hit either. I was out today a PIAS and those idiots wanted $170 for a set of X14 that were beat to shit. Had a set of X12 for $99, beat to shit. Their prices are so out of line, it's ridiculous. I'm happy with what I got. I'm seriously shocked at the condition these are in for being 20 yrs old. How's Pete?
Par4QC Rickochet Not ordered yet, no reason to own them til I can play them. Drooling at something standing in a rack could cause rust. I passed a super deal a couple days ago from Golfetail. Callaway Steelhead XR. Maybe the Pro version for less offset and heavier shafts.

Callaway Steelhead XR. Maybe the Pro version for less offset and heavier shafts. I was fondling those at Dick's today. Too rich for my blood. I didn't know it, but Dick's has financing now for $399 and up. I remember back when I bought my NEW '05 RAC OS2 irons I did with 6 months same as cash at another range a buddy worked at. Those are sweet.
sdandrea1 LBlack14 I demoed the Steelheads (not pro) in graphite Landon and they are SWEET. Used them for 2 full rounds. Hit some OMG shots with them. Re-release of the X14 in modern specs, basically.
LBlack14 They got here yesterday. Some normal sole wear, but the faces and backs could almost pass for new. Strange.

braveheart Glad to see Landon got his Callaway set. They look good, enjoy them sir! Perhaps, you guys can help me with my urge to do Callaway. I have been offered locally a set of x14 pro 3-pw constant weight Rifle shafts in very good condition for $100. I have only hit Big Bertha 02 and 04s. These forgiving enough and worth a shot?
sdandrea1 braveheart X14 Pro Series = Narrower sole and less offset than any Bertha produced. Additionally, these are narrower sole and less offset than the regular X14. For a player's cavity back, they are forgiving, but they are a player's cavity back.
braveheart sdandrea1 I am a 11 handicap, more of a picker who does not have trouble getting the ball up in the air with irons. Just lack a little accuracy. I use Titleist ap1 712 now.

JoeHatesSnow braveheart From my experiences I wouldn't be at all surprised if you found them easier to hit than your ap1s. Lofts are not as strong as today's ultra gi irons but not super weak either (26 5 iron, 46.5 pw). I never found myself wanting for distance with them and I thought the CW rifles gave me a pretty strong flight even in wind. I struggle with excessive height and spin in the wind and the x14 pros were as good or better for me than anything except the SLDR with C Taper 120 S that I'm playing now.
sdandrea1 braveheart IIRC, they had a finish that was closer to chrome, and the regular X14 were satin.
RoyMcElmurry Way late to the party, I own X12, Hawkeye vft irons, and x14 pro. I prefer the X12 over all, super easy to hit. A close second is the x14 pro, love the ball flight with constant weight rifle shafts.
VigilanteTrail sdandrea1 My humble opinion is that the X14 was possibly Callaway's best iron design ever Flashback Friday!…5 thru 9 iron with steel Constant Weight unifiex (105 gram I believe) just got rotated into my bag this morning 🤪 Justification : I am starting a preseason shaft experimentation project because my gut keeps telling me that lighter graphite iron shafts make my swing more erratic than it already is.
Par4QC VigilanteTrail lighter graphite iron shafts make my swing more erratic than it already is. You sir, are going to have a very hard time 'getting old'.
VigilanteTrail Par4QC You sir, are going to have a very hard time 'getting old'. 🤣🤣 I love the MMT graphite shafts don’t get me wrong…just pretty damn sure I need a heavier weight than 70 to truly be consistent…with my swing anyhow…we shall see
sdandrea1 Par4QC You sir, are going to have a very hard time 'getting old'. Na......it's EZ to get old. Just keep breathing.😉
