Callaway Golf Razr X Irons Review

Released for 2011, the Callaway Razr X Irons are designed to give you incredible feel, while allowing you to maintain your distance; they allow for a large amount of forgiveness when you do not get a center hit as well. So are they what you want? Read on to find more.

Technology - Distance, Forgiveness and Feel

The technology used to make the Razr irons is the newest and is the technology that is going to lead to a much different type of design in many golf clubs. To accomplish the great feat of combining the big 3 (distance, forgiveness, and feel), Callaway  shifted 30 grams to the rear of the club, significantly lowering the CG (Center of Gravity), making this model 12% lower and 15% deeper than the X22 from the previous year!

By lowering the CG, Callaway took away the undercut of the heel and the toe areas subsequently raised the MOI (Moment of Inertia), improving ball speed on less than desirable strikes.

Performance - Three Different Models to Choose From

The best part is there are three different models to choose from so that you can get the type of iron you need for your ball flight and skill level. This gives you the chance to have an iron that is nearly custom built to fit you without paying the enormous prices of the custom built name brand clubs.

When you choose to use an iron like the Razr X Irons you will not have to worry as much about missing the center of the face because you are going to get a much better miss off the heel and toe of the clubs.  This means that when you hit that 175 yard shot into the green and you know you hit it off the toe, you will be chipping, but from a closer distance and more likely from a better spot.

From Callaway – Prefered By Better Players

What we’ve done is maintain the narrower sole width, which better players tend to prefer.” Williams says. “But by repositioning the weight in the cavity lower and deeper in the iron we’ve been able to drive the center of gravity lower and deeper.” However, in the Tour model, the re-positioned RAZR weight is smaller.

Overall, these irons really are an excellent offering from Callaway, they are almost as good a set of golf clubs as you're likely to find for the main target group, golf is made just about as easy as is possible to get. However, the price maybe a bit too high for the new club, so I recommend that you buy them in online golf shops to save money.
