Irons test results: Callaway XR irons review

XR and XR Pro irons by Callaway are built for speed

The first high speed, cavity back, cup-faced iron which also comes in a more refined Pro version
 

Callaway have introduced the XR and XR Pro irons which offer increased speed across the face for exceptional distance.

The company has taken the Cup 360 that’s redefined ball speed in fairway woods and brought it to irons.

The improved Cup 360 acts like a spring on shots hit low on the face and increases ball speeds elsewhere too. 

The Pro version features all the speed benefits of XR but in a more refined shape preferred by better players.

The irons feature lower CG, forgiveness, the face flex of the Internal Standing Wave and with a precise 2-piece, dual heat construction.  

Features and benefits

  • Revolutionary ball speed from Cup 360

The improved face cup technology acts like a spring on shots hit low on the face to increase ball speeds. The speed is higher at every other impact location on the face too. 
 

  • Lower CG, more MOI and ball speed 

The Internal Standing Wave gives the face cup the freedom to flex for more ball speed. 

  • New construction and shape

This 2-piece construction includes a dual heat treatment. It’s a precise, meticulous craftsmanship for a refined look and finish.
