They are pretty forgiving. I will use these until they wear out! I’d highly recommend them over. I bought them because I was able to demo them and loved the feel of them immediately. Better than the X series. I even liked them better than the XTOUR irons. Callaway did well with the Big Bertha irons. I do know that they are great for the money…compared to buying the 2006 version. There really is no difference between the two. The only negative is there is not a lot of shot-shaping ability with these irons…if you want that, you’ll have to go to a forged set. GOOD LUCK!

I purchased the x16 irons shortly after starting to play. they brought me from a 25 handicap down to a 10 handicap, now that i have more advanced game I find the x16 is coming up short. The clubs just do not have the distance for the better courses and uable to shape my shots. This is a great club for the beginner, easy to hit, but not long, if your game is in the crapper buy a set, but if your game is advanced like mine i would recommend the pro series. hit em straight!!!
