Callaway Golf has announced an impressive extension to the Company’s best-selling line of irons. The Steelhead X-16 Irons add a new “notch” weighting design to the proven technology that has been built into previous tour and amateur favorites like the Company’s Big Bertha X-12 and Steelhead X-14 irons. Steelhead X-16 Irons are available in standard and Pro Series versions. These irons join the Hawk Eye VFT Tungsten Injected Titanium Irons, Big Bertha Irons and Steelhead X-14 Irons in Callaway Golf’s product line.
The “notch” design incorporated into the Steelhead X-16 Irons locates the Center of Gravity (CG) in the ideal position to maximize efficiency and maintain distance on off-center hits. In addition to optimising CG, the “notch” weighting creates a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) that helps the clubhead resist twisting on off-centre hits, leading to greater accuracy.
The standard Steelhead X-16 Irons have a shorter blade length and wider topline than the Steelhead X-14 Irons. This allowed designers to move more weight to the perimeter of the golf club while creating a strong, confidence-enhancing look behind the ball. Each iron has a low centre of gravity to help golfers hit shots on a high, strong trajectory. A series of five new graphite shafts has also been created for the standard Steelhead X-16 Irons. The System CW graphite shafts are available in three flexes — 90 (strong), 85 (firm) and 75 (regular) — while the System UL graphite shafts are available in two flexes — 55 (light) and 47 (ladies).
Both versions of the Steelhead X-16 Irons are available in models in 1-iron through 9-iron with pitching, approach, sand and lob wedges. The loft progression between irons has been made more consistent to eliminate distance gaps within the set, allowing for improved distance control. The Steelhead X-16 Irons fully conform to the Rules of Golf as published by the USGA and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
The Steelhead X-16 Irons are available in right-hand and left-hand versions, while the Steelhead X-16 Pro Series Irons will be available in right-hand only.
