OUR TAKE
The development of forged performance clubs has exploded in recent years, and many are powered by face cups and other advanced technologies. For traditionalists, the X Forged provides something different—a truly classic forged feel with the added benefit of advanced CG placement and groove design to provide superior performance for those who can handle it. If you want maximum control and feel with more modern performance, the X Forged is an outstanding option.
FITTER COMMENTS
“An exceptional overall iron with amazing feel and aesthetics. The pronounced ‘pop’ off the clubface, particularly for a traditional forged iron, yields solid distance performance with mid-spin characteristics.”
