Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced that shipments of the new Callaway Golf(R) X-Tour(TM) Irons will begin April 15, marking the Company’s long-awaited entry into the forged iron market. The truly unique X-Tour Irons feature the playability and feel that better golfers demand while incorporating proprietary technologies that have established Callaway Golf as the world’s leader in golf equipment.

The X-Tour Irons are forged in 2 pieces - a notch-weighted, cavity-back design and a face plate design - made entirely from soft 1020 carbon steel. The body is forged as one piece with the back cavity and face platform precisely milled to accept the face, which is laser-welded to the body. This unique design process allows the X-Tour Irons to incorporate the core technologies that have made Callaway Golf irons the world’s favorite: a 360 degree Undercut Channel, Extreme Notch Weighting and a modified bore through hosel.
