The Ping G400's were easier to pick up and play your game with while the Callaway Rogue Irons took more time to get used to. This was due mostly to the longer shaft lengths of the Callaway Rogue Irons. But in our opinion, the Callaway Rogue Irons faces allowed for better stopping power and control.

Ping's s55 irons are a little more forgiving, feel slightly softer and fly a bit further than the s56 stock. The biggest change to the iron design lies is with the CTP (custom tuning port).

What does AWT 2.0 mean?
Just trying to get some more quick information on these AWT 2.0 shafts beyond that AWT stands for "Ascending Weight Technology". I hit the iBlades for the first time today and really liked them. I hit them with the Pro Modus 105 S and the Project X 5.5 Rifle shafts...I launched those at 15.5 to 15.8 with a 7 iron which is about right for me...I launch it low. The PX 5.5 was actually the higher of the two which seems odd since I'm pretty sure the Modus typically produces a much higher launch.

Why do clubs get shorter?
As the clubs get shorter the shafts get heavier, the idea being to help create a smoother transition in overall feel . With a constant weight set you are relying exclusively on increasing club head weight as the irons get shorter to maintain standard swing weight, but since swing weight does not take in to account the static weight of the club you end up with a club that continues getting heavier with all that extra weight being all the way down at the head. This is why the long irons in most standard off the rack sets can feel light for some people when compared to the shorter irons. By increasing the weight of the shaft as the club gets shorter you distribute some of the necessary added weight throughout the club instead of being concentrated in the head. Ping uses "Custom Tuning Ports" to fine tune the weight of each head so I imagine they may choose to weight the heads fitted with AWT shafts differently to compensate for this.
Does XP 95 shaft weigh the head?
Thanks for the thorough reply. As I read I was thinking, so if you order the XP 95 Shafts would weight the head's accordingly like you had said, but you answered that later on.

Is Awt 2.0 lighter than CFS?
With AWT 2.0 the long irons feel much lighter than CFS, and also lighter than most constant weight shafts, and lighter clubs are easier to swing.

Do Awt shafts weigh the same as XP shafts?
So it seems that if you order the awt Shafts they wouldn't weight the heads the same way as if you order them with the XP Shafts for example. Sure thing!
