The Callaway XR OS irons are designed for game improvers, slow swingers, and those who need more forgiveness. They offer a larger and more forgiving version of the Callaway XR iron, with a second generation iron Face Cup and a wider sole for easier playability.
+ pros
- The Callaway XR OS irons offer a larger and more forgiving version of the Callaway XR iron, making them ideal for game improvers, slow swingers, and those who need more forgiveness.
- The second generation of iron Face Cup allows for increased ball speed and a larger cavity behind the face, while the thinner sole area enables greater ball speed across more of the face.
- The XR OS has a wider sole and a lower and back Centre of Gravity (CG), making it easy to get the ball airborne without affecting playability at impact.
- The trajectory is mid to high without ballooning up, and the clean looks make it a viable option for mid handicappers, particularly in the long irons.
- The XR OS irons can be blended with the Callaway XR OS hybrid to create a single set from the 5-iron upwards.
- cons
- The XR OS irons have a chunky look with a thick top line and decent offset, which may not appeal to all golfers.
- The oversized design may not suit those who prefer a more traditional look and feel in their irons.

The TaylorMade RocketBladez Tour irons are a perfect blend of the feel that professional golfers demand and the distance that amateur golfers crave. They have a visually appealing design, provide a soft and springy feel at impact, and offer forgiveness for mid-handicappers.
+ pros
- The TaylorMade RocketBladez Tour irons provide increased speed and distance, making them appealing to both professional and amateur players.
- The improved lie angle of the 6-iron compared to the regular RocketBladez irons is more realistic and allows for better loft.
- The club has a visually appealing design at address, instilling confidence in the player.
- The placement of the Speed Pocket in the middle of the sole and the weight at the back of the club help to launch the ball higher.
- The built-in polyurethane delivers a softer sound and a springy feel at impact, making the iron more enjoyable to use.
- The combination of the KBS shaft and the iron's performance is well-suited for players with a quick swing speed.
- The milled face texture of the grooves promotes high spin and helps shots hold their line in the wind.
- The broad sweetspot minimizes mis-hits and provides strong feedback for improvement.
- cons
- The loud crack of the game improvement RocketBladez iron is not as pleasing as the softer sound of the Tour version.
- The Tour version is still longer than the author's current setup, which may require some adjustment for distance control.
- It is slightly easier to hit a draw than a fade with these long irons, which may not suit all players' shot preferences.
