Callaway X-Muscle Irons

After helping Phil Mickelson win a three-way play off at the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai and boosting Thongchai Jaidee to a strong second place finish at the UBS Hong Kong Open, Callaway's new prototype X-Muscle irons have caused major interest among golf professionals, industry watchers and equipment junkies, all of whom can't wait to find out when Callaway's first foray into the blade sector will officially be launched.

Mickelson won the tournament in China after using the prototypes for the first time, while Jaidee commented, 'I loved the irons so much that after just two practice rounds with the new set, I put them straight in play'.

And after seeing and hitting the muscle-backs at Callaway's Test Centre in Chessington this week, World No. 5 Ernie Els, could hardly contain his excitement.  They were in his bag for the recent Nedbank Challenge at Sun City, southern Africa.
