Callaway have taken their 360 Face Cup™ technology and re-engineered it to create one of the fastest ever Callaway Irons – the new Steelhead XR Iron
The new face flexes like no other and even with off centre hits the ball speed stays good and constant across the face.
The speed off the face is very impressive so if you are looking for more distance check the ball speeds on this iron versus your own irons, you won’t be disappointed.
We found that the new UST Recoil Graphite shaft works great in this head and also the Nippon 950 steel is well matched. The trick is to keep the shaft lightweight so all the feel is in the head so you can launch the ball high.
The only thing to be careful of is the sound of the strike. This fast face come at a cost and the sound of the ball off the face can seem a little high pitched and could be described as “tinny”. I quite like it as I believe the sound matches the speed but perhaps hit it yourself to see if you like it?
Results from ForeGolf Testing
During testing, we spent time developing the fitting system for this iron, really focusing on shaft matching, as its all about the speed. We found a few different shafts that work great with the new head design, that we’ll be introducing golfers to in the ClubRoom.
