I replaced my Calloway Fusion Irons with the X-24 Hot and I can really tell the difference. I've always been able to hit a relatively long ball with any set of irons but I did not have much accuracy. I have since altered my swing in a effort to gain more accuracy and I was successful but my distance was dramatically reduced. I was also tentative when selecting a club that I would never have considered prior to my swing change. I can hit a 7 iron 180 yds but as a result of my swing change I was getting 150 yds with improved accuracy. The problem was that I would often decelerate thinking I was hitting to much club. The X-24's allow to hit my iron shots the original distance without increasing my swing speed. I'm getting the best of both worlds. I'm hitting shots full distance with a three-quarter swing and my accuracy is much improved. Long irons and mid irons are equally simple to hit. I'm elated with these new clubs and I highly recommend them. I hope the review helps.

I purchased this set a few months ago, and I have had several opportunities to play with them. In short, this is a great set and I would gladly buy them again.

The Pros: The first thing I noticed about these clubs is the loft. Having owned several Callaway sets, there is a noticeable decrease in loft, giving you longer and flatter shots. For example, I have added almost 10 yards on my 4-6 irons. The face on these is quite forgiving, and I hit straighter with these irons than any other set I have played. The sole of the club is rather wide, and the contour glides easily on fairway shots. The clubs have a lot of weighting at the toe and heel, and this also helps keep your shot straight. One of the interesting features is the dark coloring of the clubs. This is presumably to reduce glare, but I never felt that to be a problem in the past. I appreciate this feature for strictly cosmetic reasons. Contrary to other reviews I read, this is a sturdy finish, and I have not experienced problems of fading or other damage. Finally, the shaft is quite nice on this set. I am a strong person, and I generate a lot of club speed. I have had problems with excessive flex in clubs since I began playing. These shafts seem to be a bit stiffer than standard shafts, though not as stiff as a stiff shaft. Regardless, I have had no problem with these shafts.

The Cons: My complaints of this set are few, but worth noting. The wedges seem to give me problems. The low center of gravity is helpful, but it seems difficult to make solid contact. Also, the club face does not seem to grip the ball as much, and generating spin around the green is not always easy. These may not be problems with the clubs, and may instead by attributable to my swing, but they are things I noticed in playing.

In summation, this is a great set, and I would gladly purchase it again. If you are looking for a great set, and you play enough, these are a good investment.

I have been hitting this clubs for a couple of weeks now and feel the true shot coming off the club face each and everytime - even on miss hits!! I upgraded from a set of x-22 irons, which were very good, and saw improvement in feel and distance. Very nice swing with the x-24.

I think all golf lovers no matter how good you are will enjoy these iron!

They play as advertised. Gave me longer distance and better feel. Score is definitely better. I'm not a great golfer by any means, but I went from 2-3 pars a game to 6 pars the last time I went out. Not all in the clubs obviously (a lot of raw talent shining through there), but they sure didn't hurt. My brother has the diablo irons and I played with those some - great clubs - but I prefer these.

This order couldn't have gone any smoother, and I'm delighted with the Callaway clubs. I'm getting more distance with this new set, and the shots are straighter...

I love this set the clubs are forgiving,have a large sweet spot, great feel and you'll get more distance than with other irons. Callaway has the best Irons in golf.

Good value at a great price. I bought a set of average x-24's. You can tell they were played but there are no real markings or blemishes that a few rounds of golf wouldn't cause. The clubs are in great working order. If your are looking for cleaner clubs go with the higher grade...if you are looking for great clubs then average works just fine.

As far as the X-24's go....the feel great, nice out of the rough or fairway. Even a chunked ball still goes.

I bought these for my husband for Christmas and he could not be happier with them. He definitely thinks they have improved his golf game and he is so glad. He had been looking for some new irons and after reading the reviews on Amazon about these I knew he would love them and I was right. Definitely recommend buying these to anyone!
