I'm on a budget and the local golf shop has these 2 iron sets on sale. I shoot in the Low 90's with my Top Flight Irons. I have a big fade. I have TaylorMade woods and they're awesome, but I love the look of the x-18's.|||They're both in the "game improvement" category... so they'll both have slightly thicker toplines and soles, more forgiveness, a higher launch... that sort of thing. It really boils down to how you hit each. The golf shop should let you demo each set (or at least, one iron from each set).
Hit them both. If they feel/behave the same to you, go with which looks best. If you can't tell which one looks better, go with the cheaper set. Either way, you'll be getting a good set of irons.|||If you are in the low 90s you should probably consider saving the money and getting some more lessons. When I was learning the game, I played on a set of Kasten Ping I2s from the 1990s and I found that less forgiving older technology will force you to true up your swing and in the end make you a far superior golfer than trying to make up for shortcomings in your swing with new clubs.

The TM's likely have a lighter stock shaft and might be more forgiving on toe hits. Don't underestimate how important it is to get fit for the best clubs for you. Technology can really help you. All that being said, a lot of people like Callaway and for good reason, they're very well built irons.|||the x-18s are better for the high handicapper as the larger cavity and wider sole are more forgiving. the r7 are a pretty high range game improvement club that border on a players iron, so for you i think the x-18
but the only true way to tell is to hit them both and compare. if your buying them in store this will be no problem|||Most good golf shops will analyze your swing for you and help you choose the best club. Plus they can re-grip them to optimize even further. Choose the ones that feel the most natural. :)|||I like callaway because the shaft feels a little bouncy to me.
It gave me good striking ability as well as getting up and down.|||the x-18s are excellent clubs and will do you well, but its really a matter of feel. You need to hit with them both and see which you like!
