CALLAWAY XR 16 OS

-

www.callawaygo­lf.com Lofts: 3/19°, 4/22°, 5/25°, 6/28°, 7/31° Stock shaft: Mitsubishi Fubuki AT Adjustable hosel: No

TECH:

Designed for extreme forgivenes­s, high launch, maximum ball speeds and distance. A forged hyper cup face maintains high ball speeds no matter where shots are hit on the face.

WE SAY:

How many times have we been told wider-body clubs improve MOI and ball speed performanc­e? Well the OS data completely backs that up. Thanks to the wider head the OS protected ball speed alongside the very best on test. It was one of the highest-launching and flying hybrids which means excellent drop-and-stop capability on the greens. Posting our joint longest average carry (222m) is seriously impressive.

VERDICT:

An excellent hybrid that delivers the extra ball speed and distance the majority of golfers need. Our test pro thought 80% of golfers would be better off with a wide body hybrid like the OS compared to a narrower bodied model.
