Whats the difference between the callaway x forged irons and the taylormade rac mb irons.?

Question

Thinking about looking at buying a set of forged clubs and was looking a both of these sets and i see that the callaways have a small cavity back to them for forgiveness and the taylormades have better feel to them if i get the x forged i will be gettting the rife 6.0 shafts in them. But does anyone have any recommendations with these two clubs which is better out of the two or comments or concerns.

Answer 1

The x forged clubs have a slight cavity to disperse the weight to the outer edges. This can actually be a disadvantage to the skilled player. I would say that if you are used to striking the ball pure and know what each shot will do, the Rac MB's are the way to go. The muscle will benefit the better player. Cavities can be inconsistent iron to iron. I have a blended set of mizunos that have a cavity from the 7-3i and muscle with the 8 9 and PW. I found the 8 would fly 178 consitently while the 7 would fly 160. There was nothing i could do to get the 7 farther than the 8. This was because of the cavity. It is behind the sweet spot. So i Had the clubs tested at a demo day and was able to see that the impact point was stronger with the muscle backs, giving the ball better flight and consistent landing areas. The cavity dispersed almost 20 yards shorter. Go with the muscle. Cavitys are ruining golf. They can take away from a good shot. Callaway just released a prototype blade if you want to try a callaway blade. But avoid cavities. They take awayt the pureness of a good shot.

Answer 2

in my opinion the tayllormade rac mb irons are the best forged irons available on the market, i have a freind who has them with those same rife shafts and every time i hit them it goes flying off the face. they also have a touch of forgivness, cant go wrong with them

Answer 3

id go for the callaway x forged

ive got them and love them (ive got the 6.5 shafts in mine)

Answer 4

The answer is in the club names.  The MB stands for muscle back, and the Calloways have a cavity back.  The cavity puts the weight lower and to the heel and toe of the club.  This makes it difficult to hit low shots when you want, and a little harder to work the ball - but will provide a straighter shot on an off center hit.  It is a matter of how consistent your ball striking is which will work better for you.
