It seems like an odd couple right? Callaway and Boeing; Golf and Aircraft! But when you start to think about it, it's actually an amazingly perfect combination. Boeing obviously specializes in aerodynamics and Callaway is looking for every possible way to increase club head speed. With this partnership Callaway has created their most forgiving shape ever and Boeing made it fast with a re-engineered Speed Step.
Straight from the big guys:
"This thing is big and fast like you wouldn’t believe, with a high speed head and lower drag in the crown that, as you can guess, is going to add some serious club speed. It’s extremely forgiving with a larger shape for more MOI, a bigger footprint, and a Center of Gravity that’s lower and deeper.
For more speed all across the face, we added our next generation R•MOTO face that’s lighter and up to 19% thinner. And of course, you can choose from a wide selection of no-upcharge shaft options to fit your swing speed. You want the ultimate in club speed? We’ve got it right here."
Features and Benefits of the XR16 Driver
Forgiveness Meets Fast From Callaway's Most Aerodynamic Head Shape And A Speed Step
Callaway has made the XR 16 a high head speed design with low drag, and they did it by pinpointing the size and placement of their re-engineered, thanks to Boeing, Speed Step to save weight and add more speed. That’s how XR 16 sets the standard in aerodynamics for fast speed and more distance.
Extreme Forgiveness
This driver is extremely forgiving, and that’s what happens when you develop a larger shape for MOI with a bigger footprint, and put in a Center of Gravity that’s lower and deeper. All this forgiveness leads to more speed at every impact location, which can add more distance for all golfers.
Even More Ball Speed With A Faster Face
Callaway has stepped up their game with next generation R•MOTO Face Technology that’s up to 19% thinner and the body is lighter too, which leads to more ball speed across the face. They have taken this saved weight and redistributed it in the clubhead for even more MOI. When you combine the faster face with the extreme forgiveness in this driver, you can pick up a lot of ball speed, whether you hit it dead center, off the heel, or off the toe. Doesn’t matter.

Features and Benefits of the XR Pro 16 Driver
Distance From Speed and Aerodynamics
Callaway worked with the aerodynamics experts at Boeing to reach a completely new threshold of ball speed in a deeper face. They made this a high head speed design with low drag in a 450cc head, and did it by pinpointing the size and placement of the re-engineered shape and a lighter Speed Step Crown to save weight and add more ball speed. And with lower spin and a more neutral CG bias, XR Pro 16 is built for the distance and workability that better players are looking for.
Forgiveness For Better Players
This driver has the forgiveness that better players can use to their advantage, and that’s what happens when you add MOI, stretch out the crown with a bigger footprint, and put in a Center of Gravity that’s lower and deeper. All this forgiveness leads to more ball speed at every impact location, which can add more distance for all golfers.
