Well finally did the deed today and brought some new Xhot irons replacing my TM r11`s
Also thought in for a penny in for a pound ! may as well trade in my 3wood & hybrid,all to match my driver I brought a few weeks ago

Just have t wait for the hybrid to be delivered in store as they were out of stock,

and with Callaway at the moment they chuck in a FREE wedge so have gone for the 50deg, and lastly managed to get them to add a new glove !!

sorted :D

Now for hopefully a good weekend in the sun playing a few rounds :D

Real nice mate, like the look of the X Hot woods, especially driver. How's the utility-hybrid-thing? Looks a nice club

Wow that's a lot of X hots,

Have been thinking of the hybrid or a 3 or 5 wood.

How are these clubs are they light like the driver?

Picked up my friends 825 driver and it did feel quite heavy compared to my X Hot driver (it was the lightness which sold it to me)

I have light shafts in my irons too and a light driver and prefer a lighter club so am thinking of giving these a hit.

Are the x hot irons not a good deal chunkier than the R11 irons? I like the look of the woods too and as has been asked what is that hybrid/long iron thing?m

Enjoy the new shinys, hope they have magic dust on them!

Awhat is that hybrid/long iron thing?m

It's basically Cally's version of the MP Fli Hi or the H4 as it now is.
A "better Player" long iron replacement - ugly looking thing but I think Ernie had 2 in the bag when he won the Open last year....

Sorry, wrote it in a rush, I knew what it is, I meant to ask what it's like?

Still waiting on my X hot driver to arrive. Finally I order something from the club pro instead of hunting for online bargains, and then 3 days later 2 online retailers are offering the driver at the same price with a free hybrid thrown in.

Bah!

Just done exactly the same, I ordered the irons custom fitted and got them a month later :( but wow fantastic irons so this morning while the wife was sleeping nipped to AG and bought the driver with free hybrid for £199 great feeling driver and I reckon I could happily hit the hybrid as well never used one before, now I need a 3 wood and some wedges and that's my callaway collection complete

The hybrid well for me anyway goes like stink I only tried quick on a 220 yard par 3 my 4 iron was consistently short of the green but 2 out of 5 of the hybrid overshot it really need to get a 3 wood
