Hawk,
I currently game the Cally XRs. Would you say these Pings are about equal in terms of height, forgiveness and distance?
Driver: Nike Covert 2.0 12.5 degrees
Fairway: Callaway X2Hot 4 Wood
Hybrid: Callaway X2Hot 5 & 6
Irons: Taylormade Rocketbladez 8,9,P
Wedges: 52 Mizuno, 56 rtx, 58 smart sole, 64 rtx
Putter: Ping Scottsdale TR 33
Hawk, apart from disliking the sound, would you consider these irons to be a substantial upgrade over the Karstens?

Trevor - so sorry for the delay man!
I haven't hit the XR's. Just based off what I know, I think you'd probably see comparable performance. Some small differences of course, but I'd bet you it wasn't all that noticeable to the naked eye. These are exceptionally forgiving, acceptable for distance, and can really help with the low balls.
I don't think they are much of an upgrade from the Karstens though. In fact, if you offered me either I'd take the Karstens based on finish and sound alone. Didn't see enough difference in performance to excuse those two things for me individually. That's not to say they performed poorly, because they were actually really good. Just didn't love the sound or looks comparitively.
