description Callaway Steelhead XR Fairway Wood Overview
The Callaway Steelhead XR fairway wood, launched in 2017, combines design elements from Callaway's 1990s Steelhead model with modern Face Cup technology. The club features a traditional shape with a slightly larger footprint than its predecessor, constructed using hyperbolic face technology designed to increase ball speed across more of the face. The Steelhead XR utilizes a multi-material construction with a steel body and a tungsten weight in the sole to lower the center of gravity for improved launch conditions.
help Callaway Steelhead XR Fairway Wood FAQ
What classic Callaway club inspired the design of the Steelhead XR Fairway Wood?
The head shape of the Steelhead XR was inspired by the iconic Great Big Bertha Steelhead fairway woods from the late 1990s. It features a similarly classic, aerodynamic profile that many tour players and amateurs prefer over bulky modern heads.
What technology does the Steelhead XR Fairway Wood use to increase ball speed?
The club incorporates Callaway's Next-Gen Hyper Speed Face Cup technology, which acts like a flexible spring around the perimeter of the face. This flexes at impact to promote faster ball speeds and protect distance on off-center hits.
How does the interior weighting system of the Callaway Steelhead XR function?
Callaway placed a 30-gram steel weight precisely low and deep in the head of the club. This lowers the center of gravity, making it significantly easier for golfers to launch the ball high into the air with optimal spin.
What year did the Callaway Steelhead XR Fairway Wood hit the market?
The club was officially launched in 2017 alongside the Steelhead XR hybrids and irons. It was designed to bridge the gap between the classic feel of older Callaway woods and the modern distance of the XR line.
