awesome review JB! it's nice to hear that "long, high, and straight" is also workable for so many. lmao @ biggsy swinging the uniflex shafts!

Great review. Really enjoyed reading it, and it's pretty thorough.

JB- since you were seeig an additional 5 yds vs. your current irons, any chance of these staying in your bag or are the Machspeeds too consistent?

Not sure yet. Playing with biggsy again yesterday, he said the same thing, "You need to dial in the distances", because on the front 9 I was still going long on most holes. Im conflicted between the two. I felt the same way about the Diablo Edge irons and their distance, but the ball flight was a little high for me. These are on par with the longest irons I have hit.
Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, I have new irons in my bag again right now and again after that for review, so I have some time to think about it.

Agree it was a very good review. And it has nothing to do with the fact I game these lol. Funny how we all just know it was Biggsy he was talking about in the review. The uniflex probably felt like a wet noodle to him.

Nice review as usual JB. I knew it was Biggsy when you mentioned the fast swinger. I really liked the feel of these irons when I hit them, just couldn't get past the chunky look at address. Other than that they are a sweet set of sticks.

Great review! Is the wear of the finish something that can be picked up on camera at this point? It would be cool to see an example of how they look after a few rounds.
The old review for the X22's is what originally brought me to this site, and is also why I took the plunge on those great irons. Another top quality review of a top quality product. Thanks JB and the rest of the THP crew!

I added pictures to another thread, I think it was the X-24 Pictures thread of mine after a few rounds on them.
Check THIS thread.

got me new set of these on friday afternoon. played them straight up the next morning in me local comp having not hit them at all and was 4 under me handicap the front nine. only finished up even though i fell apart on the back nine (not particulary with the irons) but they were great to hit. added at least 5m to each club cant wait to play some more with them.

For those using these, what do you think of the uniflex in them?

Different. hehe
Totally different feel.
I get a slightly higher ball flight with the X-24s
More forgiveness on the toe with the X-24s
More forgiveness high on the club face with the R9s
Both great irons and it will come down to personal preference. They are just different.

JB -- are you gaming the X-24s now, or have you gone back to the MachSpeeds?

Neither, I am reviewing other irons.
