Still can't be purchased on their site. I realize the option I will be able to get we're listed.... Sounds like mid April according to their CS rep

The bitter irony of a company that sponsors the number one left handed golfer in the world, but won't make this club in left handed.  I think companies like Callaway need to run some new numbers.  Lefty's numbers on the course are growing.  35% of golfers in Canada play left handed.  Numbers from a study in 2005 show that a higher percentage of golfers that are left handed play left handed now, and represent a larger percentage of golfers than their actual percentage of the overall populace.  Pro's are no longer telling left handed starting golfers that "oh, you will play much better right handed because you will pull the club down nicely with your dominant hand right hand".  I played right handed for 25 years, then finally gathered the "balls" to go to my dominant hand and play much better.  And I can tell you, it sucks living in the "right mans" world.  :angry2:

I'm thinking of invoking the Americans with Disabilities Act here Callaway.  Get on the ball (or club in this case) or I'll see you in court!  :rtfm:

Well, ive been umming and arrring about one of these for a long time. I was going to get a 2 iron and wasn't sure what to do. Anyway, took an 18º out today and loved it. Does exactly what i need. Fairway finder low and long! Love it!! Anyway, since i didnt have to pay for one there was no doubt it was going in the bag. Took it home, regripped it and custom paint to match my irons :D

Great club. I'll be painting the back of it black so it doesn't reflect so much too. :D

Cheers :D

Anyone done something about the reflection off the back of the club?

For those of you who have ordered an X Utility, have you gone with Steel or Graphite?  Just wondering as my iron set goes 4-PW, but the 4 iron is 21* and my X Hot Pro 20* hybrid goes about the same length only with a higher flight unfortunately.  Both have same shaft, but I was hoping for a bit more distance to fill the gap.  I will be ordering an 18* X Utility, but don't exactly want to go with the same steel shaft if the distance difference will be minimal.

I have one coming with an AD-DI 95... I have pretty much made a full move to graphite except for my wedges and love it. Havent had any trouble and honestly my distances are the same. I doubt there would be that much variance if you were fit proper in graphite or steel. If you have tendonitis and a crap shoulder get graphite. If not, save the money and go steel.

I have PXI in my irons so going with the the 6.0 in the pxi was perfect for me. I hit mine further than my hybrid off the tee. I've not really tried it off the deck as it's not what i bought it for. I carried a shot into a par 4 yesterday about 220 and then rolled out. nice little pitch in. Exactly the club i needed but couldnt find. I'm keeping the hybrid as some days it may be helpful to hit a higher softer shot :D
