The Titleist T100 and the Callaway X Forged are both forged blades sold 3-iron through PW, so the split comes down to the head design. The T100 is tagged with Progressive Lofts and Tungsten Weighting, and its 7-iron sits at 33° against 34° on the X Forged, which works out to roughly 2 yards more carry at the same swing speed. Check your wedge gapping if you go that way. The X Forged is tagged as a Muscle Back, a simpler head that suits a golfer who strikes the center consistently and wants a classic look. The T100 also holds stronger editorial scores: Golf Digest 92/100, MyGolfSpy 90/100 and Golf Monthly 88/100, against Golf Digest 78/100 and MyGolfSpy 82/100 for the X Forged.
For most golfers the Titleist T100 is the pick. It has the higher scores, the tungsten weighting for anyone who values forgiveness, and a slight distance edge. The Callaway X Forged is the better buy if price leads, since it lists $100 lower at $1,249 against $1,349, or if a pure muscle back feel is what you want. Put feel and budget first and the X Forged wins. Put distance, forgiveness and third-party ratings first and the T100 is the one to order.
