Depending on how long you have played golf the shape, look and style of the new Callaway Steelhead XR fairway wood will look very familiar.
The original Steelhead fairway was one of the most popular fairway woods of its time and technologically way ahead of its time, now Callaway have reintroduced it and pumped it up to deliver incredible all round performance.
First of all you notice the iconic shape of the that has been tweaked to provide more forgiveness and promote an easy launch from all kinds of lies. A modern Hawkeye Sole has been used to provide smooth turf interaction and deliver an incredible solid contact from all lies.
It is the face and crown tech that seriously pushed the boundaries of fairway wood hitting. Callaway have used their Next-Generation Hyper Speed Cup technology on the face of the Steelhead XR to give incredible ball speeds across the whole face for improved distance control. The weight reducing carbon crown design helps relocate weight lower and deeper in the head to provide that easy launch as well as increase stability through impact.
On the top of the crown you get their Speed Step technology that was co-developed with leading aerospace engineers to create less drag and create faster clubhead speeds with no extra effort.
To make sure all this innovative tech does not go to waste Callaway have used the premium Mitsubishi Tensei CK shaft to deliver the optimum balance of power and control.
