Callaway unveils X Hot irons and X-Hot 24 irons

The deep undercut design allows Callaway to precisely position the centre of gravity and move the most compliant part of the face - the hottest part - lower, where most golfers make contact with the ball.

For the first time, Callaway has also incorporated Speed Frame Face Technology from its drivers into the Callaway X Hot Irons to optimise stiffness across the face for more ball speed and consistent distance on off-centre hits.

“The X Hot irons have been meticulously engineered – both in terms of physical characteristics and club configuration – to increase ball speed and promote overall distance optimisation,” says Callaway's senior vice president of research & development Dr. Alan Hocknell.

The callaway X-24 hot irons have been developed by Callaway engineers for golfers preferring to hit an iron to a long par-3 or fly a hazard to reach a par-5 in two shots. It says the clubs' VFT Face Technology, 360-degree undercut channel and a precise centre of gravity help create a large hitting area to generate maximum distance while maintaining both forgiuveness and accuracy.

Says Briton, Dr. Alan Hocknell, head of Callaway's Research and Development in the US: “We recognise there are golfers looking for distance gains throughout their entire bag. So we employed our core technologies and faster ball speeds into the design of X-24 Hot irons, to create a longer, more accurate set than Callaway X-22 Irons in the X-Series.”
