subject: The Benchmark Callaway X-22 Irons Review [print this page]



First released in late 2008, the Callaway X-22 irons evolved from the X-20 irons. Following the successful X-Forged clubs, Callaway engineers have worked in close consultation with Tour professionals to produce a set of iron golf clubs with the popular, thin top line and narrow sole and added bounce. However, there is no reduction in the size of the ball-striking area. The long irons are marginally heavier than their predecessors, aiding the production of a more penetrating ball flight. Callaway's X-Series of irons, of which the X-22 is the 6th incarnation, have essentially laid down the industry performance standard for golf club manufacturers. Callaway appear to have continued this trend with the X-22 Series irons.

Of the Callaway X-22 irons, one of the important design features that Callaway is bragging about in their marketing material is the perimeter weighting. They've notched out some of the material from the middle of the rear of the club head, and moved it out to the edges of the club. This increases moment of inertia, which makes the club more forgiving.

A high moment of inertia (MOI) simply means that it resists twisting on off-center hits so that your bad shots are less likely to head off into the woods. These are called "game-improvement" golf clubs which means that they're generally designed for higher handicap players. Game-improvement is the polite way of marketing to players who desperately need their games to improve, so they're not slowing down play at the course by always having to hunt for their ball in the high weeds. That being said, The Callaway X-22 irons have also performed well for lower handicap players.
