What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the RAZR X Forged is 35° and the RAZR X Tour is 33°, a 2° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the RAZR X Tour should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the RAZR X Forged. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the RAZR X Tour averages 1.6° stronger, with the largest gap at the 6-iron (31° vs 29°). The pitching wedges are 47° and 45°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the RAZR X Forged runs 2-iron to AW (10 clubs), the RAZR X Tour 3-iron to AW (9 clubs).
Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The RAZR X Forged is listed as triple-net forged and the RAZR X Tour as investment cast. Forging, as in the RAZR X Forged, is generally credited with a softer feel; casting, as in the RAZR X Tour, allows more complex cavity and weighting shapes, which is why it dominates forgiving irons.
Both sets were introduced in 2011, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Callaway designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The RAZR X Tour is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2° stronger than the RAZR X Forged on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
