If I recall, the XHots were pretty chunky, which would make sense for why they would be more forgiving. Now, this isn't a perfect measure and the X2 Hots are really friendly, but I just think you got them twisted in your head.

I just googled it to confirm and the XHots are rated Ultra GI and X2 as GI. I randomly looked up the X2 Hots the other day on the Maltby Playability Factor and remember them being rated lower on that scale than I thought. I'm wondering if the X Hot are maybe a little less forgiving but may be a better option for a better player or something I can grow into? With the X2 Hots you dont have to deal with the adapter issue. Just yesterday, I had my fitter replace the Optifit adapters by putting on Optiforce adapters on a couple of Aldila NV Ripd shafts that worked so well with the X Hots. However, it looks like the X Hot are in the GI category and the X2 Hot are in the SGI category, do I have that right? I know, I shouldn't get too caught up in categories, but I'm wondering if this is the reason why the X2 Hot are more forgiving. The X Hot was a 10.5° and Ive had to get the 9° in the XR to keep the flight down. Specs: Titanium chassis and face with moveable weight (Epic Max, Epic Max LS), carbon-fiber crown and sole panels, and adjustable hosel. Price: 529.99 with Project X Cypher, Project X HZRDUS Smoke IM 10 or Mitsubishi MMT shaft and Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align Black grip. The reviews I've read say the X2 are longer, more forgiving, etc. Gear: Callaway Epic Speed, Epic Max, Epic Max LS drivers. Anyone have any thoughts between these two? As the title suggests, I'm really interested in some of the Callaway game improvement irons. Looking to upgrade the clones and have swung some different options. Thinking about throwing some C-Tapers in a set to have. Distance, dispersion, consistency, turf interaction, feel, etc. Started out shooting in the 110 - 115 range, have taken some lessons, and am now shooting in the mid 90's. Curious as to who has hit both the X2 Hot irons and the Speedblade irons. I just got into golf last year and have a set of clone clubs I'm looking to upgrade. Really appreciate this forum for all the great info!
