After 2 days and 2 rounds these XR Pro's are exceeding my expectations. I have hit 25/28 greens so far with these. The flight is slightly higher and spin is less than my old irons which is maybe my favorite trait of these. Mid irons roll out 5-10 feet after they land on the green and short irons stop within a few feet of their ball mark. Distance is consistent and misses, especially my normal thin miss results in only a very small amount of distance especially compared to my old Wilson FG V2's. The extra distance is very surprising and the thing that I like about it is my 7 iron now carries the same as my old 6 iron(175ish) but is 3/4" shorter so it's that much easier to hit straight.
I didn't order the 4 iron but I will be this week after finding out how stupid easy the 5 iron is to hit straight, high, and long. I missed the 5 iron off the toe from 207 yards on a par 5 approach Tuesday and it still wound up on the green. My old 5 iron would have been in the water hazard short and right of the green. I also hit my 5 iron past pin high on the very difficult 203 yard 15th hole at my home course. In the past it was a 4 iron or my 21* Adams Dhy hybrid. My new 5 iron launches higher, is almost as long, and is 2" shorter than my Adams hybrid which makes it more accurate. The only thing I need to change with these irons is the lie angles need to flattened 1*. My expectations are that these new irons will shave a couple strokes off my index.
When these hit CPO its going to be like boxing day at Best Buy. The constant amazing feedback is impossible to ignore.

It's pretty cool to see your excitement over these. I am currently a "forged snob" so will see how I get along with theseMy daily reports on my XR Pro's may be a bit too much but I'm really excited about these and I feel a little foolish about being a forged snob for the last 35 years.
I hit off a lie board yesterday and my suspicions were confirmed, the were too upright. I had the lies flattened 1.5 degrees and was able to get 5 holes in with them last night before the sun went down. I hit all 5 GIR and these XR's are dialed in now!
Ordered mine 1° flat. With the weather here in NJ. First round was last Sunday. A few range session this week. I'm glad I went flat. These are just amazing irons. Was hoping for a good round tomorrow with them but we just got 5" of Effing snow.My daily reports on my XR Pro's may be a bit too much but I'm really excited about these and I feel a little foolish about being a forged snob for the last 35 years.

It's just crazy. Yeah I'm in altitude but to see a big jump in carry distance is eye opening. I had a feeling so I took 3w out and had driver, 5w, 3-aw, 54, 58 and putter. It actually set up the bag really well. I'll need to get more acquainted to figure out if the 200 yd 7 iron is a fluke but these are what you said... FUN!Told you Kang.
Altitude numbers, gotta remember. Still they are a club longer than what I normally hit. Just nasty ironskang those numbers are filthy buddy. Wow.
Fun is awesome. Love it man.
And from reading feedback from others, you aren't alone in your thoughts.
Remember when we discussed how/could Callaway improve on the Apex? Sounds like it has happened.
I'm eager to see what they do with the Apex this next year, I anticipate a new version (pure speculation by me). Give me the feel of the Apex with the Cup-360 in them? Holy hell.
For me, these are different than the Apex. First off they are quite a bit smaller at setup. While that does not necessarily mean less forgiveness due to construction, its still a smaller head. For some that works, for some that doesnt.

Oh no, I agree, I'm not comparing them to the Apex, I'm simply saying the tech we are seeing with the Bertha and now the two XR iron lines is legit, and if they somehow can implement it into an Apex style head, that would be special.
Very true. I love the Apex. Its the perfect blend of forgiveness and style.
I love what XR brings to the table. I enjoy seeing companies push the technology envelope and there are a few that are doing it really well right now.
