Callaway launches a new X Forged UT driving iron
For Tour players and amateurs alike, driving irons have become a popular and versatile option off the tee. Callaway began offering the Apex UT in 2014, and you’ll still find this club in a number of Tour players’ golf bags. Now, there will be a new driving iron in Callaway’s stable of products: a Callaway X Forged UT. This is the utility iron version of the company’s new X Forged irons that it released in mid-October.
The X Forged UT was designed based on feedback from its Tour staffers, and it has a CG (center of gravity) that’s positioned in the center of the face, and it’s designed for a low, penetrating ball flight, according to Callaway. There’s a also a Tungsten-infused insert to help produce more forgiveness, and the face has Callaway’s familiar 360 Face Cup for increased ball speeds on off-center hits.
They will come in 18, 21, 24 27 and 30 degree lofts with stock Project X 6.0 shafts, and will sell for $249.99 apiece starting on January 19.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations
In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:
“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.
Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”
And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons. They look really good for being a GI iron.”
- bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
- vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
- J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”

Well, I guess it’s time for cally to bring out a new flavor of the month or is it flavor of the week? I get confused by so many releases of the new better than ever club.Looks striking like the Wilson-Staff V6 model !!! the V6 looks better and it was selected the best Forged irons of 2017.

Rich … Firstly this is a utility iron, aka driving iron – hybrid replacement. This is only the third of this style of club callaway has released in almost 5 years. You are complaining about something you clearly have no clue about.
