Question

Is it worth it to buy Callaway x-20's or woudl x-18's be the same thing?

Answer 1

I would just get the X20's for the price difference is minimal

Answer 2

From a preference standpoint, I've hit both and like the feel of the 18's better, though that is of course something you'd need to determine for yourself.  I'd say go to a golf shop that has a launch monitor and hit both, and if you get better results with one go for those, or if one of the two just stands out in terms of feel.  Iron technology isn't advancing as rapidly as technology in some other clubs, so the difference between the two is not incredible, though noticable to an extent.  But it is mostly a choice based on personal preference.

Answer 3

theyre all the same, if you actually take a close look at it, the x20 center of gravity is shifted a little. they both feel the same and is designed almost the same. 18 would be cheaper, the x20s are probably the most wanted clubs right now. if you want to be trendy buy the x20, x18 if you want the price. the resell value doesnt change much. x16 and x18 used sell for around $50 difference. go to golfsmith or some local golf store and try them out for yourself, see which one you like.

Answer 4

Ryan -

Here is the writeup on the x-18:

-Visible "Extreme Notch Weighting" technology raises the moment of inertia, helping counteract the effects of off-center hits

-Deeper 360-degree "Undercut Channel" aids in perimeter weighting for better resistance to twisting

-Slightly thinner sole design limits turf digging and improves playability from a variety of lies

-Standard progressive offset helps make longer irons more playable

and here is the x-20:

-The X-20 Irons are the latest version of the best-selling X-Series Irons from Callaway Golf that have been long favored by some of the best players in the world because of their performance-enhancing technologies and by recreational golfers due to their forgiveness and great looks.

-The X Series is all about giving serious golfers total performance with enhanced forgiveness for the ultimate in confidence. The new Callaway X-20 Iron Sets deliver in every way by delivering technology, innovation and playability that will take your game to a new level

-Extreme Notch Weighting redistributes even more weight to the perimeter, creating a high MOI for more forgiveness and stability

-Progressive Wall Reduction System enables Callaway Golf engineers to lower the center of gravity 6 percent more than in the X-18 Irons for improved feel and playability , and

-Core technologies include VFT, S2H2, Tru-Bore and a 360-Degree Undercut Channel that maximize ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness, improve feel and clubhead control, maximize perimeter weighting by moving the CG lower and farther back in the clubhead, enlarging the hitting area and stabilizing the clubhead for more forgiveness.
