Callaway Quantum Irons: A Smarter Take on Forgiveness and Speed

man what a trip down memory lane looking at these. Remind me of the 96 Bertha irons that were my first ever clubs
That was a very intentional design choice by Callaway to harken back to the old Berthas.
 
I am pumped for this season. I will let you hit anything you want my friend when we next play.
Thanks. I’m going to hit the irons and Driver in the next couple weeks.
 
Nice article, @Hawk

This is a clean iron and I love the tri-cut sole and overall appearance at address.
 
These look really good and some great tech in there. I could easily game them. Can't wait to read more from the Grandaddy peeps that were fit into these. So many things to read today with Callaway
 
Whew these babies are slim. I know some might find it looking alittle busy but it’s pretty clean. I’ll definitely give these guys a demo when I’m in the pga ss. Along with the other Quantum stuff 😅
You might be pleasantly surprised. They aren't as slim as the Elyte or Ai Smoke were. They're still not shovels, but they have that confidence inspiring GI look.
 
I dig everything about this, making it faster and more forgiving. I live low on the iron face, so being able to benefit from changes there is amazing.

My only hangup? I just don't dig that Quantum badge on the back (FWIW, not a fan of any of the OEMs that do badging similar).

Looks like a very solid release overall. Love the inclusion of the Max Fast to help people looking for more!
 
If I remember correctly, the HL spec is a higher lofted version each club in the bag. The Quantum Max Fast being the lightest option available.
So the Max doesn't go with an overall lighter build in the HL? That would makes sense since they also offer the Max Fast build being lighter.

As someone who chases height at times I like it if that is the case.

If the badge is the only hangup, then I think Callaway did a fantastic job with these irons. My favorite part of the clubs, looks wise, is the undercut. That really sold on me on "I could look at these everyday".

Have to say these look really good for what they are. They have a unique sound to them but they do everything as advertised in my limited experience.

Once you hit them you will get over it. I don't love the Quantum on it but do love the Callaway.
 
Only new set of Callaway I ever played was the XR series. Theses remind me of a throwback iron that’ll optimally perform. Like the sole design and for the category, pretty basic,plain looking iron. Not full of plastic crap in the cavity as most usually are. I like a plain,no frills looking cavity myself.

Agreed, the Callaway badging looks great on the Quantum Max irons.

For those curious, I did try the Quantum Max OS as well. They were too chunky for me personally, but they are going to work wonders for a lot of people. I would say they have the market for golfers who don't quite want to give up the feel of playing a stock iron for something lighter like the Max Fast but don't swing fast enough to play the standard Quantum Max. Being that you can HL spec each package, there's something for everybody to love.

They def remind me of Big Bertha irons. The 2008 Big Bertha's are my fav iron set ever. Still have them and my oldest games them all the time still as they are so easy to hit (he's best golfer in house too). These def rival those in terms of that ease.
 
Really great idea to introduce tri-sole for these irons! They look stellar - great job Callaway!
Well this looks familiar. View attachment 9405171
Not just the standard Tri-sole but a “progressive Tri-sole”
A question I asked was:
Similar to wedges do we see a benefit to the Tri-sole changing between player types? The answer was a definite yes and why we see an updated Tri-Sole for this line of clubs.

Yep... good call. I felt the same on the OS.
 
At the fitting range, to warm up, the fitter handed me the Max OS 9i. It was simply the easiest highest launching 9i I have ever hit. On repeat. It was the best start to a fitting I have ever had - really eased me into the process.

I didn’t fit into them as I saw some better numbers in the TiFusion 250, but I have been thinking about these irons ever since. I want to hit them again as they were really fun.

Appreciate the clarification my man!

Last 6 rounds I’ve bagged FF XL Halos great success but I’m always pondering 🤣

I’m a fan of easy and repeatable!
 
But I think yours is backwards 😂 I kid I kid.

I'm pleasantly surprised. This is an awesome development.

We can't quite copy the patented Srixon V-Sole (It's dang close), but damn if this doesn't look like a nice improvement in leading and trailing edge bounce.

🔥🔥🔥

They made improvements to the Tri-Sole across all iron lines. At the Q & A they stated this was even Tour validated. I played Srixon before switching to Callaway last year. The Tri-Sole is right up there w/ the V-Sole. Both so good.
