Cally X tours or X-14 Pro series?

[ManchesterGolfer]

I'm changing back to Callaway irons. I have 2 deals lined up on ebay, which do you think I should go for?

Deal A). Callaway X-14 Pro Series for £240. This is quite expensive for irons of this age but this set has been fitted with Project X rifles in 5.0 flex. Apparently the X14 Pro's are one of Callaways best ever set of irons. (according to a few listings on ebay)

Deal B). Callaway X tours for £220. These irons I think are a bargain there 12 months old in excellent condition and are fitted with R300's.

I'm changing as I wanted reg/firm flex shafts rather than stiff as I have a long term wrist problem which is preventing me getting the best out of my irons. I looked into reshafting the 690's but it would be better cost wise to just change sets.

Pro's and con's;-

X tours - Pro's - A real steel for the money, Forged for better feel, will hold there value. Con's - Wanted something with Rifles.

X14's - Pro's - Fitted with £150+ worth of shafts, Look awesome. Con's - May struggle to get money back if I don't get on with them, not forged.

What do you guys think? Anybody used the X14 pro's? I had a set of X tours which I liked but sold for the £££'s

X20 pro series.

They have an actual hosel, no bore thru, zero offset and look OUTSTANDING.

Best Callaway iron to date, bar none.

I think the X Tours are the only Callaways I'll ever buy.

Nope. But if you're considering X-14's, why is this a problem?

See above pics. Sweet.

From the reviews I've read, these rival the current X-Tours in feel and looks.

Plus with the non bore thru, you can use traditional shaft pulls, ect without all the hassle.

Bonus.

Out of my price range at the mo. I've saved big bucks in my Paypal account but most of that's for my FT-i. For all my other hoing's I'm going to take a leaf out of Ez's book and go for things 12+ months old and at a decent price.

 

[Rockford35]

In that case, go with the 14's. They're sweet.

I played X16 PS for a year, they were nice. Not as shovelly as alot of the Cally line. If I would have thrown some Rifles in them, I'd still be playing them...

Got both. Hopefully the X14's will be my gamers and I can sell the X tours for a little profit. But if not then I could always have the shafts swapped over (maybe) and sell the x14's with the r300's in. My FT-i fund is looking depleteted now!!!

Here's the X14 ps' http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....loc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget

Yep, the 14's are simple and quaint. I like them alot.

I'm actually trying to track down a set for my dad, (non PS) if I can find a cheapo set (he plays like 3 times a year....what a dork!).

No problem!! You've got until March/April time frame to build it back up again to the $500 it will cost you for the FT-i!!!
