Callaway Fusion Wide Sole Irons Have Solid Feel

There are a lot of us who can use all the help our equipment can give us. Do the Callaway Wide Sole irons live up to their ultra-forgiving promise? I compared these irons to the regular Fusions and the forged clubs I normally play and came to some interesting conclusions. Take a look at what I found...

There is no hiding that the Fusion Wide Sole Irons are game improvement top to bottom. Everything about this club has been designed to maximize the likelihood of hitting quality golf shots regardless of "minor" swing flaws.

These irons are big. You'll notice the large topline, sole, and face are a clear departure from tradition iron design. You may never have seen a pitching wedge quite like this. Sitting being the ball they are definitely bulkier than your average irons. Their appearance took a little getting used to.

The irons are long from heel to toe which means the face has a lot of ball-striking real estate. The mid- and long-irons are definitely confidence inspiring as each iron, from the pitching wedge up, looks like a little hybrid. If you've ever stood over a blade-like 3-iron and started to tense up, these might be the irons for you.

In addition, the Fusion Wide Soles have a muted but solid feel compared to the regular Callaway Fusions. You'll know if you've hit the ball in the center of the clubface, but you aren't going to get a ton of feedback on off-center hits unless you hit one off the end of the toe. This is what I expected from such a large iron. You will hear and feel a satisfying "click" when you hit a ball on the center of the clubface.

White alignment aids sit to the right and left of the face and in the two lowest grooves. As a result, aligning the clubface to the target is very easy. Generous offset is clearly visible from the address position, which should help those who have trouble leaving shots out to the right.

The generous face doesn't penalize slightly off-center contact. You have to wander pretty far out towards the toe to notice a huge difference in feel or flight when compared to other irons. The Wide Soles are more forgiving than the Fusions particularly when you consider turn interaction.

It is pretty tough to hit a terrible shot with these sticks. I could feel these irons prevent me from digging a few times during the review. Most of all they put a smile on my face when I added up the score after the round was over. When your ball striking is inconsistent these irons will help you play more consistently.

If your misses are heavy, the Wide Soles will be a real asset. They played well on full and partial shots and on chips and pitches. They were great on delicate shots around the greens because it is really hard to stub one with the sole design. You know the kind of shot I'm talking about: you get a little tentative and chunk one around the greens. The Wide Soles help you avoid that kind of miss.
