Callaway might be perceived as a "driver" company in the golf world, but since the late 1990s the firm has actually sold more irons each year than any other manufacturer. The ever-popular X-Series irons franchise (now in its seventh iteration) has a lot to do with the company's success. Its new Callaway X-24 HOT Irons, billed as the longest, most-accurate X-Series iron, targets all players (regardless of handicap) who seek turbocharged distance in an iron. Where the callaway x24 differ greatly is in the finish. Instead of bright, shiny chrome the clubs come standard in a glare-reducing rusty brown finish.

Callaway engineers strengthened loft in the long and mid-irons increased shaft length by 0.25 inches per club, and redesigned the head to account for new weight distribution. The callaway x24 irons also boasts evolutionary updates to tried-and-true design elements, such as "variable face thickness" (VFT) technology and "precision notch weighting" in the rear. VFT produces 2.2 mph faster ball speed than the X-22 irons do, for longer, more consistent length on mis-hits. The large cavity notch spreads weight to the heel and toe, for ample head stability and improved accuracy. If you are looking for golf equipment in the market, I highly recommend you 24 irons.
