![]() ![]() My eye tends to be attracted to a more bladelike look (think Taylormade R11 Irons.which has a thicker looking topline at address than the Callaway RAZR XF.BTW),but I found these irons to be very appealing. The sole is wider than I would like to see but is invisible at address. The topline is thinner looking at address than last years RAZR irons (I played those last season). They look much better in person than the photos posted above. Just recieved set of Callaway XF's yesterday. As I said, this is a very unusual offering in the Super Game Improvement space, and we're anxious to hear what you think. Even the stock grip (a proprietary Callaway Winn grip) appears careful chosen to appeal to the target market. Top lines are thick, soles are broad, and the hybrids are, from top to bottom, extremely shallow. The heads are large (not the bulkiest we've seen), and even the hybrids feature an astonishing amount of offset. To be sure these are Super Game Improvement in every respect. Callaway is going in an entirely new direction here, and while I'm sure some will scoff at the idea (and the price), I can tell you with certainty that there are a number of older golfers, and younger exec types just breaking into the game that will take a serious look at these irons. While it's not a a written in stone rule or anything, general practice has been to offer forgings in better players clubs (cavity-backs and blades), but leverage less expensive castings in most of the GI products, and pretty much every Super GI club I can think of. What's also interesting, and indeed unique, is the fact that the irons in the RAZR XF set are forged. Those were also $1000+, so clearly Callaway believes (and I tend to think they're probably right) that there is a legitimate market for high-end GI clubs. The RAZR XF basically signals Callaway's re-entry into the high end GI market. First, it's going to be impossible to ignore the $1299 sticker price. The RAZR XF are interesting to me for a couple of reasons. As a whole, we've done a fairly suspect job of covering the game-improvement, and super game-improvement markets, and these, along with the Adams A12 OS are part of the steps we're taking to change that. Just in for review are the new Callaway RAZR XF Irons. ![]()
