Callaway Golf has today unveiled its new X Forged and X Forged Max irons.

Originally launched to the Japan market, the X Forged irons gained popularity in 2024 on the DP World Tour, the Asian Tour, and on the ladies’ KLPGA and JLPGA tours. As Callaway tour reps noticed globally, better players took a strong liking to the new Japan-only X Forged irons due to their tri-sole construction that helped with turf interaction on various grass conditions, as well as the one-piece, 1020-carbon feel and the high-toe look at address.

X Forged

Crafted from a single piece of 1020 Carbon steel, the X Forged irons are designed to deliver the crisp sound and soft feel that discerning players seek.

Targeted for professionals and elite ball strikers, the irons feature a streamlined cavity back, compact profile, minimal offset, and a thin topline.

In addition, the X Forged irons feature a tri-level sole with beveled leading and trailing edges, in a bid to promote smooth turf interaction and precise ball control through impact.

X Forged Max

Also crafted from a single piece of 1020 Carbon steel, the X Forged Max irons are designed to deliver the soft feel and crisp sound preferred by better players—along with a mid-compact profile that aims to blend workability, feedback, and forgiveness.

X Forged Max features a more player-friendly cavity back and offset, mid-compact profile, and a refined topline—crafted to appeal to the eye of the better player looking for workability and forgiveness.

In addition, the X Forged Max irons feature a tri-level sole with beveled leading and trailing edges, in design to promote smooth turf interaction and excellent ball control through impact.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
