I got a set of these and have been playing them for a few weeks now. I hit them pretty well and can shape my shots better than ever, but I've got an issue and was wondering what you guys know on it.
Here's the specs: Callaway X forged Irons 2-PW, Project X 7.0 shafts +1 over standard....(same shafts I've hit forever now...).
Problem: while straighter and more consistent, the distance is crappy. I've lost a good 20yds plus on each iron and for the life of me I can't seem to play it out. I've tried adjusting the ball position in my stance. I've tried different swings etc.....
I used to hit my 6 (in pretty much every club I've ever hit) about 180 yds, now I'm lucky to get 160 out of it. I'm also getting less distance with wind behind me, but more with the wind to the side???????
I have noticed that these seem to balloon a bit on me. Would a loft adjustment help? Meaning, could I have them adjusted to get a lower trajectory?
Don't get me wrong, the spin is amazing, but it's all backspin with very little forward roll or kick...
I've heard people have had similar problems with them...but I just haven't ever had an iron lose distance like these. I'd love to keep them because of the consistency, feel and shot shaping ability, not to mention they look great, but if I am having to hit a 7 iron from 135 yds, it just won't do.....
Oh, I've tried 6.5's, 6.0's and even 5.5's with little to no difference....
Thanks,
MT
