I picked to test the new RAZR X irons and originally tried the graphite
regular shafts. I sent them back and received a set of Callaway RAZR X Tour Irons reviews with TT R300 shafts. I would like to thank Callaway who went out
of their way to get me fitted correctly. I also want to thank Golfwrx
for this amazing chance to be a 'tester'.
Callaway RAZR X Tour Irons. The sole design allows the irons to feel
just as advertised. They play like they are made for low-mid
handicappers but are forgiving on mishits. On one shot today I hit
towards the toe about a ¾" but the ball went straight, just lost a bit
of distance. Otherwise they were easy to use. I don't have distances
down yet but they seem long. I like the balance with regular TT R300
shafts. The trajectory is what you would expect from these shafts. The
ball gets up nicely with no ballooning. With the new 2011 groove specs
they seem to spin the ball well. So far I cannot tell much difference. I
hit a lot of shots with the AW which is 50* more like a PW. Anyway, the
TM AW I had with graphite spun the ball very well. I'll have to see how
this one is on the course. On the range I could get them to stick,
seems to spin OK.
Key Technologies: The all-stainless steel iron
repositions 30 grams to the lower portion of the cavity, to create a
large sweet spot in line with where average golfers strike the ball (low
on the face). Consistent, high ball speeds combine with stronger lofts
(long irons strengthened by 2°, short irons by 1°) to produce shots that
fly 5 yards longer on average than X-22s.
OUR TESTERS SAY: Dependable performers. RAZR X does its best work in terms of accuracy/forgiveness and distance.
PLAYABILITY: Offset head allows for natural draw bias; lower center of gravity produces towering shots.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Mis-hits don't sacrifice much in
terms of distance or direction; a few testers believe it's impossible
to lose shots to the right.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Several testers get up to one full club of extra length through the set.
FEEL: Many testers find it to be very solid yet soft at impact—a steamroller through the hitting zone.
LOOK: Significant offset and massive sole let you know the ball will get up easily and won't slice.
