Callaway Unveils New Line Of XR 16 Drivers & Fairway Woods

Callaway have launched its exciting new line XR 16 Woods to retail outlets across Europe. These exciting new products include the XR 16 Driver, XR Pro 16 Driver, XR 16 Fairway Wood and the XR Pro 16 Fairway Wood.

For the XR 16 Driver, Callaway R&D worked with aerodynamics experts at Boeing to redefine what is possible with clubhead speed and aerodynamics in a golf club. Callaway engineered its most forgiving head shape ever, and the specialists at Boeing made it fast with a re-engineered Speed Step.

In addition to delivering our most forgiving shape, a high speed head, and low drag in the crown, the XR 16 Driver also features a next generation R*MOTO Face that is lighter and up to 19 percent thinner. The XR 16 Driver is available in 9°, 10.5° and 13.5° HT lofts. The XR Pro 16 Driver will be available in 9° and 10.5° lofts.

Dr. Alan Hocknell, Head of Research and Development, Callaway Golf, said: "With the XR 16 project we set ourselves the task of producing an aerodynamically superior driver that challenged convention. With the assistance of Boeing’s top engineers on our aerodynamic research we were able to bring together all the key elements of performance to generate maximum distance without a loss of forgiveness in the head. As a result we have managed to deliver a head design which is extraordinarily fast, but also very forgiving.”

The XR 16 Fairway Wood builds on the category-defining Face Cup Technology and features a design that is bigger, hotter, and more forgiving with our lightest crown for even more ball speed and distance. The XR 16 Fairway Wood will be available in a 3+, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 Wood. The XR Pro 16 Fairway Wood will be available in 14°, 16° and 18° lofts.

XR 16 Driver

For the XR 16 Driver, Callaway worked with the experts at Boeing to redefine what’s possible with ball speed and aerodynamics. They've engineered the company's most forgiving shape ever and Boeing made it fast with a re-engineered Speed Step Crown.

This new driver has a high speed head and lower drag in the crown to add ball speed. It’s extremely forgiving from the larger shape for more MOI, a stretched out crown with a bigger footprint, and a Center of Gravity that’s lower and deeper.

For more ball speed all across the face, they added next generation R*MOTO face that’s lighter and up to 19% thinner. And golfers can choose from a wide selection of no-upcharge shaft options to fit your swing speed. XR 16 is built to deliver the ultimate in ball speed.

XR Pro 16 Driver

For the XR Pro 16 Driver, Callaway worked with the aerodynamics experts at Boeing to redefine what’s possible with ball speed in a deeper face. To make it faster, they put in the distance technology from their completely re-engineered face and a lighter Speed Step Crown, and Boeing helped make our most aerodynamic head shape. They added all that together with lower spin and a more neutral CG bias into a 450cc head. This is a remarkably fast and forgiving driver for players who already get a lot of distance off the tee.

It has a high speed head and lower drag in the crown. It’s forgiving with more MOI, a Speed Step Crown, and a Center of Gravity that’s lower and deeper. Callaway's next generation R*MOTO face is also lighter and thinner for more speed all across the face. And of course, you can choose from a great selection of premium no-upcharge shaft options to fit your swing speed. It’s the ultimate in ball speed and MOI for better players.

XR 16 Fairway Wood

For the XR 16 Fairway Wood, Callaway have made huge leaps in their industry-leading technology that’s helped them become the #1 Fairway Wood in Golf. And they came away with a design that’s bigger, hotter, and more forgiving with their lightest crown for even more ball speed and distance.

They have combined their highest MOI, highest COR, and a low Center of Gravity in a fairway wood. With a larger footprint, it’s a head shape that gives you the confidence and the technology to hit it long and straight. And they've improved on their category-defining face cup for high ball speed all across the face, added great turf interaction, and put in extra speed from an aerodynamic head shape.

XR Pro 16 Fairway Wood

For the XR Pro 16 Fairway Wood, Callaway made huge leaps in their industry-leading technology that’s helped them become the #1 Fairway Wood in Golf. And they came away with a compact head design that’s hotter and more forgiving for even more ball speed and distance.

It’s built for higher MOI and a head shape that gives you the confidence and the technology to hit it long and straight. And they've improved on their category-defining face cup for high ball speed all across the face, added more turf interaction, lower spin, and put in extra speed from a compact, aerodynamic head shape.
