Callaway has taken its line of XR16 drivers and fairway woods to a new stratosphere this year by working with Boeing to redefine what’s possible with ball speed and aerodynamics.

The XR16 driver is Callaway’s most forgiving shape ever, and Boeing made it fast with a re-engineered Speed Step Crown. The driver has a high-speed head and lower drag in the crown to add ball speed, and it’s built to be forgiving from the larger shape for more MOI, a stretched out crown with a bigger footprint and a center of gravity that’s lower and deeper. 

For the XR16 Pro driver, Callaway again used Boeing’s help to create an aerodynamic shape and a more neutral center of gravity bias into the 450cc head. The next generation R*MOTO face is also lighter and thinner for more speed across the face. 

Callaway is touting huge leaps with its XR16 fairway wood and its design that’s bigger, hotter and more forgiving with the company’s lightest crown ever for more ball speed and distance. There’s also a high COR, low center of gravity and an improved face cup for high ball speed and better turf interaction.  

For the XR16 Pro fairway wood, the main new technology is a compact head design that’s hotter and more forgiving than previous models. It’s built for higher MOI and lower spin but with a head shape that promotes increased ball speed off the face.
