If you decide to purchase the X-Hot irons this year, make sure you spend a bit of time on the range to re-educate yourself to the new yardages. While not surprising to see the X-Hot is up their in the distance stakes with the likes of new TaylorMade RocketBladez, the ball was incredibly easy to launch and provided remarkable forgiveness. Plucking a 6-iron from the bag, knowing it’s basically a 5-iron, will aid terrific confidence. While it felt every bit like a 5-iron, trajectory felt like a 6-iron. When striking the 6-iron (26-degree cranked several degrees in comparison to a standard 6-iron), I achieved an eight-yard distance gain of 170 yards. But the X-Hot isn’t all about distance, however, as the deep undercut channel - which has allowed Callaway engineers to lower the sweet spot - provides solid forgiveness on off-centre hits. Similar to the TaylorMade RocketBladez, the X-Hot carries lower than normal degrees of loft to help you achieve remarkable distance gains, particularly with the long irons.
