The Callaway Steelhead XR irons are a great option for beginners or high-handicappers who want a forgiving iron with a mid-range price. They are long and forgiving, making them easy to hit out of just about any lie, but have limited workability and little to no feedback.
+ pros
- Next-generation 360 Face Cup technology for forgiveness.
- Steel-infused polyurethane layer for improved feel.
- Hollow bore-thru hosel design for better weight distribution.
- Progressive center of gravity positioning for improved launch and distance.
- Long and forgiving, making them easy to hit out of any lie.
- cons
- Limited workability.
- Little to no feedback.
The Callaway Steelhead XR irons are a reimagining of the classic Steelhead line, combining echoes of the past with modern performance. They offer forgiveness and consistency around the face, making them one of the most powerful and forgiving irons in the market.
+ pros
- The Steelhead XR irons have a classic Callaway look with a mid-sized top-line and a relatively small offset, making them appealing to both high single figure and lower handicappers.
- The Steelhead XR irons have Callaway's fastest 360 Face Cup, which increases the COR by 2.4% on the standard XR to 0.825, making them one of the most powerful and forgiving irons in the market.
- The Steelhead XR irons have consistent forgiveness and performance around the face, making them a great choice for players who want to cover a range of around 100 yards in equal gaps.
- The Steelhead XR irons have a choice of custom shafts through the Callaway custom fitting service, but the stock True Temper XP95 Stepless steel shaft is light and provides good feel to help maximise performance.
- cons
- The Steelhead XR irons have a higher average level of spin for mid to slow swing speed players, which may not suit players who prefer a lower spin rate.
- The Steelhead XR irons have a very strong P wedge at 44°, which may require players to go down to the 49° A wedge before transitioning into their specialist wedges.

From Seller:
- The next generation of our industry-leading 360 Face Cup technology increases ball speed on both center hits and mis-hits. More ball speed = more distance. This is a 5-PW set, it contains 6 clubs (5 iron, 6 iron, 7 iron, 8 iron, 9 iron and pitching wedge)
