With the XR 16 Callaway wanted to create a driver that was more aerodynamic. To do so its engineers sought out the help of aerospace giant Boeing which helped redesign the XR 16’s crown. And the changes are significant in terms of improved performance. The crown is now lighter which allowed the CG to be moved lower and deeper in the clubhead producing higher launch angles and greater forgiveness and its new shape working in unison with Speed Rakes on the sole of the club enables faster swing speeds. Additionally the clubface was stretched slightly to maintain faster ball speeds on shots hit off the heel or toe.
The end result is a driver that is easy to hit launches the ball high produces impressive distance and offers a high level of forgiveness performance features all wrapped up in a 460cc clubhead that will inspire confidence at address.
