Thanks for the feedback here. Just placed my order with KBS Tours in Stiff.Same as Tadashi minus hitting the c-tapers. I hit the KBS tour stiff and px95 6.0. Launch, trajectory, spin, and dispersion were nearly identical for me. KBS had a better feel so I went with them. Not that the PX felt bad, just not as good.
Tadashi -
With your on the course testing, would you think the PX95 is for a player with a quicker transition? Traditionally I've never gotten along with the PX line because I have a moderate/smooth transition. I play a natural fade and don't want to turn those into hard fades/slices on the long irons.
Yea, it's a shame Callaway charges so much for the C-Tapers. Think I saw $30 per club. Ouch, that's how much I can get them for at an authorized dealer. So this is something I still may try out in the future.I'm late with this and I thjnk a read you order KBS. But to answer your question, no. I don't have a fast transition at all. My SS is not all that for as far I think I hit it. The PX have been solid in my testing as have the KBS. To date the cTapers are the best I have seen as far as performance

That will be an interesting combo, looking forward To your findingsI will be putting some recoils in my XHot pros as well. Be interested to see how you like them as well.

Yes the stiffness is the same between the two modelsHow are the PX95 shafts compared to the regular PX's? Are they the same firmness, meaning PX95 6.0 is same as PX 6.0? thanks
Sweet Ole Gray, guess that guy is reconsidering playing in the club championship. I'm around the same handicap as you, just wanted to know if you find these irons forgiving enough? Currently playing AP1 712, really looking to switch to XHP's. Thanks
They are for me and I'm actually striking the ball better and more solid than ever. The look these irons present sitting behind the ball just makes me want to bust it. They encourage me to take a smooth move during take away but yet an aggressive move through contact. When I played a thicker sole type club, it worked opposite for me. It made me think I had to help the ball up while with these thinner soles, it encourages me to strike the ball first. If you have the opportunity by all means do like I did and test them at your local golf store/outlet. It's not like hitting them out doors however you can feel enough to see if they will work for your game. I would like to also add having them fit for your swing is a must for optimum performance. I absolutely love em!
Thanks OG. Definitely going to go test them out today. BTW, did you end up going with the stock PX 95 shafts?
OG, me likies what I'm reading. There is hope for us high handicaps with the Xhot pros.
I put my new XHP irons to the test in their first tournament of the year. It was a semi scramble where you take the best tee shot of the foursome and then play your own ball into the cup. I helped my team many times with some pretty slick iron shots. So much that one of my playing partners said, " are you sure you are a 22 handicap"? That's what my handicap is from our white tees. It was funny watching him grin as I was hitting those baby draws into the greens, with beautiful trajectory. Oh well, a man has to do what a man has to do . It was a compliment to my new XHP irons and a boost to my confidence. He later asked if I was playing in the match play club championship this month. I said yep, and he had this funny look on his face. Sic em Cally X Hot Pros :thumb:

yea yea yea you're a high capper like I'm the Mayor of Monroe, Ga. . What Freddie is really saying, is they work for real players like him self as well as hacks like myself :thumb:. Some irons just fit your eyes better than others and inspire confidence. These are not only sharp looking, but they also have some high performance stuff under the hood, for all type golfers.
<Cough, Cough> I'm choking from all the sandbagging going on in here where OG is a 22, and Tadashi uses the words "us high handicaps" in the same timeframe :angel:
Glad you are hitting them well OG. If my bonus ever gets here, I will probably be joining the club.
You are going to be a happy camper Donne!
The wait is driving me nuts...I'm really thinking XHot 3 and 4 hybrids and the 5-PW XHot Pro Irons. Should blend nicely look and loft wise with the SCOR wedges at the bottom of the bag.
Thought that I would add my thoughts as well. Before hitting the X Hot Pros, I decided that I was going to bag either the AP2 or the I20s. While I was in the store today I decided to give the XHPs a whirl. I must say, I was very impressed and have narrowed my decision to the I20 and the Xhot.
Dispersion, distance and consistency were all much better with the XHP. I had a fat and a thin shot with the I20 and a few with the AP1 & 2, none with the XHP. I played a round with a friends I20 and I found myself prone to pull hook the ball, something that happened on the simulator as well.
We'll see how it goes with the Callaways. I checked out a demo and plan to hit the range and course within the next week, I will report back with some more detailed thoughts once I get them outside.
