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 whomcan'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 into 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're already in his bag for this week's Nedbank Challenge at Sun City, southern Africa.

The irons, say Callaway, promise to be an exciting addition to the Callaway Golf line up, and are anticipated to be available in stores in Summer 2008.

Rubbish! I still have a set of Callaway blades made about 12 years back. They were the Bobby Jones model. I have 3-9 irons plus the Bobby Jones driver. So, certainly not the first Callaway blades.
