It has been a bit since the last iteration of the Callaway X Forged irons. Today, multiple sets are coming out in the form of a player’s cavity and muscle back, but we are focusing on the Callaway X Forged CB.
Today they are announcing the latest version, the X Forged CB and MB and this post we are talking all things CB. In the video below, we explain the tech, take some swings and breakdown all of the data to give you a full understanding of look, feel sound and performance from the THP Tech Studio.
After watching that, what are your thoughts on the Callaway X Forged CB?
I am not sure why, but this picture makes my pants tight.
oh, we’re doing this now?!
Real talk…
you think they would outperform the 921 forged?
Damn good question indeed. They’d already be bag. ?
Okay, but…
It leads to so many follow up questions.
Project X io, next?
Do you have the 921’s in the bag?
I had some tours in the bag not too long ago.
They just made me want to hit the forged.
I have not yet had the X Forged CB in the bag.
is it THAT simple though? Really?
You ask bad questions
Well, first of all, they do make an LS which is super curious.
There’s also insanely hot custom recoils.
There’s also the forged which are beauties.
Etc.
Given your need to reduce spin, LS may be on the menu yes/no?
I am pretty sure they did? I can’t remember, and they are hundreds of miles from me in the Tech Studio haha
I would be curious to see what IO could do for my shape with my ‘custom’ loft/lie setup enabled.
It shocked me how well they fit into my swing with a stock swing using a ball that works for my game, from a spin perspective.
Understandable! I think the blacked out version is only available through Callaway because I have looked for them.
Bent two strong and these fit like a glove
I need to give the LS a spin, played the original project x 6.0 for a number of years and really got along with them. These look good but the pictures I saw of the new apex pros it would be hard to not choose them over the x-forged
Do you need to strengthen them or weaken them? The yardages you were getting from the stock set up was ?!
This feels like a full press to me for the bag spot.
I get a bit more aggressive with my lofts to support my launch and spin a bit better. Has a lot to do with peak height, honestly.
It’s worked out incredibly with with my MP18 SCs.
we’re going to have to discuss this further, because I was full send on Mizuno..
But, I could see this.
I fell into a really good groove with the X Forged CB 7i when testing it. I still ponder adding maybe a 5 & 6 to play with. 2021 is a tough season to be picking irons. Or maybe easy since there are so many choices that perform well.
I’m not sure, but I might have sorted a full set of those heads today, I guess they need to be shafted so we can find out.
I could probably make this happen in January.
May the best fit win.
Recoil 95 Proto works for you, right? ?
It’s always a solid option.
So does PX IO.
Tour V.
Recoil Proto 105
The list is growing.
It really did perform well.

Super charged to hear you are impressed by your X-Forged CB irons. How do you find the IO shafts in terms of shock absorption? Can you elaborate on your comment about playing a little soft? Early feedback is they are a great combination with the XF irons. Thanks
When you say the IO is ‘soft’ what do you mean?
They did perform well for you. Do they have a chance of making your bag this year?
Yeah man, absolutely. They are on a relatively short list of heads that I am going to pursue early in 2020.
I really like the feel of these! Beautiful set of clubs.
He’s just trying to torment me.
There are worse things than knowing 2 sets of irons will work for you!
that’s true. Honestly, there are about 20 sets I’d be glad to play next year hahaha
Remove clubs to clear a good shot of the xfcb? Or because pictures of said clubs are not to be seen yet?
Never mind, I just saw the photo editing. It’s been a long day, lol.
As far as shock absorption, I wouldn’t say it’s more or less than the standard Project X or Dynamic Gold I’ve played for years. Not this set and my cf16s are 6.0, and I could probably feel the club head a bit more with the IO. I’ve pretty much been in stiff iron shafts for 15 years but I feel I could go 6.5 in these.
Playing tomorrow and excited to get them out for round one.
Do it! Also may the best XFCB win!
