In for review is the stealthy XR16 Pro fairway wood from Callaway. I am very excited about this one, as I currently game the X2Hot pro fairway at 14 degrees and have found great success with it over the last two seasons (with an Oban Devotion 8 series rebar shaft installed). After reading about all the technological improvements between X2hot, XR, and now XR16, I think there will be nothing but positive improvements to my experience. Good or bad for Callaway, I have huge expectations for this club.
From Callaway
For the XR16 Pro Fairway Wood, we’ve made huge leaps in our industry-leading technology that’s helped us become the #1 Fairway Wood in Golf. And we 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 we’ve improved on our 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.
Features & Benefits
Higher Ball Speed From A Hotter Face Cup - We’ve taken our industry-leading Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup and made it hotter, thinner, and lower spinning for even more speed and a large sweet spot.
More Forgiving and Easier To Hit - We’ve built in higher MOI and forgiveness from a thin crown that allows us to move the weight where we want it in a compact head shape that’s suited for low-handicap players. This fairway wood looks easy to hit because it IS easy hit, and with the lower CG it’s also highly versatile for the shots that you want to play.
A Compact, Aerodynamic Head Shape For Even More Speed - We’ve improved the aerodynamics on this compact head shape to create even more head speed for you to go along with the high ball speeds. This fairway wood is designed for ultimate ball speed.
