Callaway X-18 Construction: The club features Callawayβs 360Β° undercut channel which helps create a thinner, faster face and increased perimeter weighting for more forgiveness in a long-iron build.Β
Player-Grade Feel: The X-18 series (especially in βProβ or βStiffβ builds) was aimed at players who have the tempo and control to benefit from more traditional long irons rather than game-improvement hybrids.
The Ping G410 3-Iron (20Β°) with Alta CB 70 g Stiff shaft is a long-iron/utility club designed to replace traditional 3-irons with enhanced launch and forgiveness. It combines the G410 seriesβ engineering (higher MOI, refined long-iron shape) with a lightweight graphite shaft tuned for stability and mid-trajectory performance, making it a strong option for players seeking a high-quality long-iron in the bag.
Key Features
20Β° loft: Offers the distance equivalent of a strong 3-iron while enabling more forgiving launch and control compared to traditional low-loft 3-irons.

Graphite shaft long-iron advantage: Graphite in a long-iron/utility club helps reduce overall weight, aiding faster swing speed and smoother transition without sacrificing stiffness (since itβs βStiffβ).
Refined clubhead shape: While still performance-oriented, this club has been designed with less offset and more modern look (from the G410 lineage) to appeal to better players who want a cleaner look at address.
The Srixon ZX Utility 4-iron (23Β°) is a hollow-body long-iron replacement crafted for skilled players seeking a compact profile with utility-iron performance.

MainFrame technology: A variable-thickness pattern of grooves and channels on the rear of the face face ensures higher COR (more ball speed) across a larger face area.
Low-centre-of-gravity via tungsten weighting: Tungsten weighting in the sole lowers the centre of gravity, helping elevate the ball and deliver utility-iron launch characteristics.Β
Compact players-look design: Despite being a utility iron, the ZX Utility features a narrow topline, minimal offset, and blade-like appearance, appealing to players who prefer a refined aesthetic.Β

Cobra King Forged CB/MB 2018 β Key Features
Combo Set Design β The 2018 King Forged irons combine cavity-back (CB) long irons (typically 4-6) with muscle-back (MB) short irons (7-PW). This gives a blend of forgiveness in the long irons and precision / shot shaping in the scoring irons.Β
Material & Forging β The heads are forged from carbon steel (1025 steel), using a 5-step forging process.Β
Weighting / Performance
They include tungsten inserts (in the toe and center) to help position the center of gravity (CG) closer to the face center. This helps with launching, forgiveness, and consistency.Β
The long-iron CBs have a βmuscle cavityβ design to give softer feel and more forgiving mishits while still allowing control.Β
Looks & Finish
Compact, playerβs profile, especially in the MB irons.Β
Diamondized Black Metal (DBM) finish β dark, satin/blackish, helps reduce glare, durable finish.Β
Other Features
CNC-milled faces & grooves for precise spin and trajectory control.Β
Equipped with Cobra Connect grips (Golf Pride Tour Velvet with sensors) for tracking stats via the Arccos system.Β
Available in regular or stiff shafts (KBS $-Taper black PVD) in the stock set.
Performance Characteristics Of Black KBS C Taper Shaft Limited Edition :
Lower trajectory + controlled spin: Compared to softer shafts, the C-Taper is stiff, especially in the tip, which tends to reduce loft and spin, giving a more penetrating ball flight.Β
Crisp feel: Because of the firm tip section, the feedback (especially on solid strikes) tends to be sharp (less flex in the tip means less energy lost in that part).Β
Shot shaping + control focus: This is a shaft for players who want consistency, control, and precise distance gaps rather than maximum forgiveness.
