The Callaway X-14 were one of the best-selling irons ever and despite being nearly 15 years old, they’ve helped inspire the all-new Callaway XR Steelhead range.
Callaway looked back at successful elements of the X-14 – blade length, hosel and optimised centre of gravity – then added their modern face cup technology for improved distance, forgiveness and feel.
The Callaway XR Steelhead irons feature the brand’s fastest-ever face which is thin around the perimeter for faster ball speeds on off-centre hits.
It’s flexible over a greater area than other XR irons and has taken COR (trampoline effect) right to the USGA limit.
A progressive centre of gravity through the set results in better flighting and more control with the shorter irons – characteristics taken from better player irons.
There’s new material, steel infused polyurethane, behind the face which dampens vibration for better sound and feel.
The Callaway XR Steelhead hybrids have a large head, squared off toe and deep centre of gravity for high launch.
They’ve added a speed step crown for increased head speed thanks to research with Boeing.
Both the irons and the hybrids are aimed at the game-improvement market.
Callaway XR Steelhead irons features and benefits
– Callaway’s 360 Face Cup technology increases ball speed with greater efficiency on both centre hits and mis-hits for more distance on every swing.
