Callaway XR16 Sub Zero Driver Preview

I bet you I could make it work!!

It's got all the makings of a driver I think could be in my wheelhouse. I just want to know at what cost, and how much of a separation from the awesome forgiveness of the XR profile.

If I can't get the spin under control with the swing changes I'd like to see if this does that for me.

I'm curious as to off center hits what will happen.
 
This thing looks amazing.

Unfortunately dicks will never get one so I won't even get to hit it.

From address it doesn't seem smaller than the xr16 pro. The face is shallower heel side and taller toe side. Hit 40 balls on the range

Didn't have the xr16 pro to compare but from visual check the ball is flying well. Miss hits are a bit of knuckle ball hooks but that's the miss I've had this past week. Excited to see some numbers and compare and take it to the course hopefully monday
 
So jealous....

Damn you!

You mean you found something for 2 day shipping... As terrible as my drive is I'm excited to try this and see what it does to my spin

Glad to see you found one. Can't wait to read your results.

Was only a matter of time! Look forward to your thoughts

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've been having great success with mine, and forgiveness is not an issue at all. I'm not a great ball striker with a driver and definitely hit the center of the face less often then I'd like, and I find sub zero plenty forgiving on those mis-hits. It's also fantastic at reducing spin. I tend to have a negative AoA even with the driver, which is great when I'm hitting irons but obviously less desirable from the tee box. Sub zero has helped me get the spin into a manageable range and I'm hitting it better than any driver I've hit before.
 
Wow, the Sub Zero head looks amazing. Absolutely love the gloss finish on it.

Definitely not for my game (would be knuckle balls all day). Hopefully it works out for you Kang!
 
Do they make this in a 14*, I think I would need it to get my spin to a good level. Will be fun to hit either way.

I believe retail is 9.5 with your being both 9.5 and 8.5.

You know I hate you right now right?
 
She looks like she sits pretty square. Is that what you proud owners are seeing as well?
 
Not a good week to go out of state...hope you still have it when I get back...haha. Well...and let me take a few swings too.

You can look but not touch lol

Your gamer combo now is just too nice to mess with. Then again...Callaway has been known to improve the fun in the game.
 
I got to at least try this out

This head will definitely have to be special to beat out the xr16 pro
 
Got some numbers on golfsmith monitor. My swing is jacked and I have big left turn on all my shots right now... but, this head at +1/n giving me decent numbers

I don't think I'll get any course action til the extra round for club clash on Thursday

Not too bad. I know you probably think so given your time with the XR16 pro but based solely off those numbers, if you were to get the slight swing hitch taken care of, you could be gaining at least 10 more yards

Definitely need time. Once I get my issues fixed I will be able to properly guage performance
