Callaway X-18 Irons are the latest version of the X-Series Irons and are a successor to the popular X-16 Irons and include all the usual X-Series features.Extreme Notch Weighting, a proprietary visible feature that raises each iron's Moment of Inertia (MOI) for increased stability and better results on off-center hits, combines with a deeper 360-degree Undercut Channel to achieve new heights of forgiveness. S2H2 (Short Straight Hollow Hosel), a staple of Callaway Golf irons for more than 15 years, allows weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. An integral element of the S2H2 design is Tru-Bore Technology, which extends the shaft tip completely through the clubhead to the sole for greater feel and superior control. Finally, VFT (Variable Face Thickness) face design technology allows Callaway Golf to raise or lower the center of gravity for optimum trajectory with each iron in the set: resulting in a higher launch angle in the long irons and better trajectory height control in the short irons and wedges. The X-18 Irons also feature a standard progressive offset throughout the set and fully balanced sole engineered to improve turf interaction and workability.
If you are familiar with the X-14 and X-16 then you will be comfortable with the Callaway X-18 irons. This standard version has the usual offset but the X-18 have a thinner top line and more perimeter weighting than their predecessors. The feel is solid with every club and certainly very easy to hit with a mid to low trajectory compared to the other Callaway irons. The standard uniflex steel shaft makes these clubs a bit heavy for our liking. For mid handicappers who don't play Callaway and have the cash to burn then this is an ideal choice. If you already have X-14 or X-16 models it may be a harder decision to upgrade unless your old ones are ready for the scrapheap.

I am a big fan of the Callaway X-14 Pro Series and I think the new Callaway X-18 rions are a worthy successor. It provides more forgiveness than 'normal' irons whilst still giving all the performance I require. Felt the steel shafts made the club very heavy and that together with the heavy price tag means that this may be a little overweight for me.

I love the Callaway X-18 irons. These were the clubs I stared golf with and they are great, they help amateurs get a lot of loft and distance without a perfect swing. Never mind that it says "mid to low handicappers", that’s rubbish, these are great for all players (until your a pro and fancy more feel and control!)
