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 Steelhead X-16 Pro Series Irons utilise a more blade-like design that will appeal to golfers who prefer to hit the ball lower with more shot-shaping flexibility. The Steelhead X-16 Pro Series Irons have less offset, longer hosels, thinner toplines and narrower soles than their standard counterparts. Combined with a straighter leading edge, these features work together in creating a lean, compact design that will allow more skilled players the freedom to work the ball and control their trajectory while still benefiting from exceptional forgiveness.

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.
