SPOTTED – 2009 Callaway Legacy Forged Iron
Posted October 14, 2008 by GolfSpy X
A Callaway Standout
Callaway has followed up their new 2009 US releases with a model headed straight for Japan in the new year. It bears some resemblances to many of the previous models but has a couple differences that make it standout in our opinion.
Inspired by Roger Cleveland
Roger Cleveland has come up with this sharp looking new iron for the Callaway brand…it’s called the Callaway Legacy Forged Iron…but unfortunately its only for the Japanese and possibly the European market. And similar to the new Japanese Ping Rapture V2 J…they are aiming at the true low-mid handicapper. Something neither do that well in the US. The closest model they will have in the US for 2009 will be the Callaway X-22 Tour…although it carries a more narrow sole and a shorter heel
According to our contact, the mid-sized new forged stick will come to market in 2009.

This is definitely being released in Europe next season, but it will be badged as the Diablo. I’ve got the European catalogue for next season.

Just bought a set of these on eBay and they are fakes!!! The stamping of the -R- on the hosel is crooked on each one and doesnt line up straight in the same place like they did on the X FORGED.
BEWARE!!!!! Notice no picture you see has a pic of the hosel with the -R-
