The story of the X Hot begins with “Frame Face Technology,” which is designed to increase ball speed, save weight and optimize stiffness and stress distribution across the clubface for more efficient energy transfer.
The game-improvement Callaway X Hot Irons employ a Deep Undercut Cavity design with Speed Frame Race Technology. The cavity design allowed the company to more precisely position the Center of Gravity (CG) and move the hottest part of the face lower, where more golfers make contact more often with the golf ball.
They said that advance optimized stiffness across the face for more efficient energy transfer. It also produced more ball speed and more consistent distance, even on off-center contacts. In addition, the equipment maker applied a dual-material medallion to promote better feel and sound and made the True Temper Speed Step 85 lightweight steel shaft its stock offering.
At the same time, Callaway incorporated the Speed Frame Face Technology it has used with great success in Callaway X Hot Driver to its X Hot irons. Hocknell then goes on to describe how Callaway has implemented its thinnest casting technology ever in the all-titanium, 460cc heads of the X Hot, to create a lighter swing weight and overall configuration, so that it benefits players with average swing speeds, as well as those with ones much faster.
All Titleist golf clubs go through this critical step to validate their performance before being launched to market. Titleist showed its staff players the forthcoming 714 collection of irons, as a couple dozen sets were shipped to Congressional for some early testing. Bringing the prototypes for the Titleist CB, MB, AP1 and Titleist AP2 714 irons that will make up the 714 Series is a big part of the development process.
The equipment maker reduced face thickness to promote a hotter, more lively feel, and moved weighting deeper and to the heel and toe. The result, in McGinley’s view, is a more forgiving, more finely tuned and better-looking iron whose target audience is the serious golfer, per usual, but includes those whose handicaps reach into the mid-teens.
