N8ball 32 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Still loving the XR16 Pro driver, 6 out of 8 fairways hit for me on a twilight round.

fozcycle 11,855 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Nice cleanup in Stage 3 Easy32........it's prob just a question of timing for your 3 wood.....with a tad more lag, your 3 wood will probably hit square and beat the Ping 25.

But because the 3wood is also a little stronger it doesn't create enough distance separation from my driver. I actually just get out in front of the Callaway a little more so I hit it right. As weird as it sounds I like the ping going a little shorter. I'm anywhere from 250-260 with the ping and the Callaway is a little further. Off the tee it's not worth hitting the 3 wood for accuracy purpose. Knoxville, TN. 4.7HDCP, Cally XR16 Driver, G25 3 wood, burner Rescue.

txgolfjunkie 1,738 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm jealous of the success some of you had with the fairway woods. I wanted to fall in love but it wasn't meant to be. In fact, it was horrible. Like I said, not mad, just jealous of y'alls success. Stage 3 posted.

Fourpar18 73 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 This driver (XR 16 Pro) is one of the best that I have hit...by far! It's a great feeling driver with a nice sound and without the loud ping. The ONLY down fall it takes time to find a good head/shaft combo. I have finally found a combo that I can play. It's a fairway finder and deep as hell! Played this weekend and I was hitting some long balls and fairway on a tight course. During play I think that I was able to sell two of them. I have owned the M1 and it was nice but too much "tinkering" lead me to hooks and pushes. Keep it simple is the way I like to live! Just picked up the XR 16 pro 3 wood with a Graphite Design BB and it's a rocket! More to come on that later Quote My Bag: Stolen clubs....in between! Link to post Share on other sites

Eseay32 666 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I just picked up the G30 to compare to the xr16. My bag is mostly ping anyways and I tend to hit pings well. I know for a fact, me struggling with the driver is my swing and not making great swings But Im hoping to narrow in my misses. I've hit it once at the range and hit it great for the first 15-25 balls and the swing got a little loose from pounding balls.

sp0rtsfan86 839 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm still gaming hte XR16 fairwood wood. However the driver is currently sitting in my bag, probably never coming out more than once or twice a round. I'm hitting the Fly-Z so much more consistent that it really isn't close. 1 Quote Driver: Epic Flash 12 Degree Wood: GBB 3 Wood Hybrid: Razr 4 hybriid stiff stock shaft.

Ringerte 1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I was originally looking into this driver and 3 wood but this review has me questioning whether to go forward with this purchase. I appreciate the honest feedback of these clubs, thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eseay32 666 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I think it's like most things,everything fits everyone differently. It's also a mindset and mental lol. I said in my very first statements that the 3wood was going to have to be flawless to replace my ping 3 wood. I could happily play the callaway 3 wood. I just prefer my ping. As for the driver, I can hit it well and then I miss it, it's an Indian issue, not an arrow issue.

Ringerte 1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nicely put Eseay32. I tend to take my time and do a ton of research before I replace anything in my bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eseay32 666 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Believe me, I was and still am hoping that the Callaway becomes a can't miss club for me and a weapon for me. But I recently purchased the g30 to compare it to and see if it can improve me. I'm a driver away from being back to pretty darn good at this silly game.

Sweetman 4 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I know I'm a little behind, but I just picked up one of these, XR 10.5* driver, I am itching to get out. I'm a bit of a hacker and it sounds like this should be a little more forgiving than the 20 year old inherited Wilson 1 wood I've been using. 1 Quote Dr: Callaway XR '15 9.5* S - Project X (LH) 3WD: Taylormade M3 XS Aldila (LH) 3H: Cobra F6 19.5* S (LH) 4-AW: Taylormade PSi KBS Tour S120 (LH) SW: Nike CCI cast (LH) LW: Cobra Pur 60* widelow (LH) P: Scotty Cameron Sonoma 33" (2012) (RH) Link to post Share on other sites
