The Review of Callaway Razr X Tour Irons

The Review of Callaway Razr X Tour Irons
Built on Callaway's popular X Series line, the Razr X Tour Irons is designed to provide consistent distance and accuracy through the set. RAZR technology shifts the center of gravity lower and deeper in the clubhead, offering increased shotmaking from more places.
?For over a decade, Callaway's signature line of irons, the X Series, has made the company one of the dominant forces in category. From the X-12 to the X-24 Hot, they blended forgiveness and power in game-improvement models, while better-player models incorporated more shot-shaping feel.
TheRazr X Tour Irons is a game-improvement iron that has a huge hitting area. Replacing the X-22 and X-24 Hot in Callaway's line, each of the eight irons in the standard RAZR X set are made using a new variable face thickness technology, which makes the hitting area thinner as you moveRazr X Tour Ironsaway from the center.

Luke Williams, Callaway's director of product design, says, "We added the extension to the back, so it's not a part of the sole. It's relieved from the sole so it won't interfere with the way the club goes through the turf." It's also not visible to the golfer at address.
The same RAZR weight system can also be found in the new Razr X Tour Irons, designed for better players and mid-handicappers.
"What we've done is maintain the narrower sole width, which better players tend to prefer." Williams says. "But by repositioning the weight in the cavity lower and deeper in the iron we've been able to drive the center of gravity lower and deeper." However, in the Tour model, the re-positioned RAZR weight is smaller.
There's less offset in theRazr X Tour Irons when compared with the RAZR X, but once again, because the CG has been driven so low and deep, Callaway strengthened the lofts of the RAZR X Tours.

The waffle pattern on the back of these clubs is purely cosmetic?the RAZR weighting system found in the RAZR X and RAZR X Tour is not a part of theRazr X Tour Irons.
With a narrow sole and thin top line, Razr X Tour Irons have a classic look at address.
"This is the only iron in our line that'sforged," Williams says. "So it's got the feel of a forged iron [which many Tour pros prefer, and it's got our new Competition grooves, which in this club we can forge into the faces. We can control the grooves much more effectively in a forging than in a casting."
