I recently upgraded my set of clubs from a set of Tommy Armour knock-offs to the new Callaway X-20's. My old set of clubs was a hand-me-down set that I used for about 5 years. They were cavity back and a decent set of clubs but I felt that I wasn't getting the best out of my equipment so I finally broke down and bought a new set. Boy am I glad. I will get into all of the technical, technological jargon later in this review but first I will write about what they did for me.
Over the past five years I have golfed a little bit more and more every year. Last year I got out for about 20-30 rounds. I have never taken lessons and have played sports most of my life so I am naturally an athlete. My game had steadily improved to the point where I would usually score in the low 90's sometimes high 80's. Don't stop reading since your scores are better or worse, mine get much better! This year I decided to take the game more seriously, not only to improve my scores but also to improve my wagering.No true athlete tolerates losing or mediocrity. These were just a few of the reasons I decided to break the lock off of my wallet and buy a new set of golf clubs.
The X Series is about giving serious golfers total performance with enhanced forgiveness for the ultimate in confidence. The X-20 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. With its traditional styling and Callaway Golf core technology the Callaway X-20 Irons provide the performance and forgiveness to play the game with enhanced confidence.

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
