Callaway Golf X Forged Star Plus 2.0, Korean-Style Iron

Softer S15C Forged Head for Enhanced Feel
Advanced Tri-Sole and Extended Scorelines for Superior Performance

This iron was created specifically for Korean golfers who are sensitive to feel at impact. The star of the show is Callaway Golf’s “X Forged Star Plus 2.0.”

This forged line, which offers enhanced forgiveness, longer distance, and an even softer feel at impact, inherits the heritage of the original X Forged Star Plus, which was jointly developed by the headquarters and the Korean team for the Korean market in 2024. On top of this, the materials and design have been fully upgraded, resulting in a Korean-style iron model with an even higher standard of quality.

The X Forged Star Plus 2.0 was designed around three key elements: forgiveness, distance, and feel. A standout feature is that it reflects the playing tendencies of Korean golfers. In particular, it delivers a noticeably softer feel at impact compared to previous models. Instead of S20C soft carbon steel, it uses a one-piece forged body made from S15C soft carbon steel, providing dense feedback and a delicate feel at the moment of impact.

Additionally, performance has been enhanced through stable weight distribution and sole design. The thickness has been optimized to increase stability, while advanced Tri-Sole construction and four-sided machining create a slimmer sole. This reduces turf interaction under various lie conditions and helps minimize speed loss at impact, allowing for more consistent shots.

The sense of stability at address has also been meticulously improved. The face scorelines have been extended toward the toe to enhance visual balance, and the head design encourages a more stable setup. The wedge selection was also developed with short game performance in mind. The approach wedge (50 degrees) features an S grind, while the sand wedge (56 degrees) uses an X grind, delivering optimized control for each loft.

An additional lightweight head option is scheduled to be introduced in April. This broadens the range of choices so that even golfers with slower swing speeds can enjoy the unique feel and performance of this Korean-style iron. The X Forged Star Plus 2.0 iron is available with both steel and graphite shaft options.
