Cwing, thanks for the review.
Callaway Steelhead Xr, anyone ?
I looked at them yesterday at a shop. I held one next to a Cally XR. The Steelhead has less offset, a narrower sole and looks a little longer from heel to toe than the XR. A player's cavity back, maybe? I have not hit one, no.

Callaway is becoming the new TaylorMade as far as product cycle intervals and numerous model offerings. It's hard to keep track and differentiate between all the clubs they have to offer.
This is what I like about PING. They offer 4 different irons for each level of golfer (Blades, I, G, GMax). They offer 3 different fairway woods (G, G Sf Tec, Stretch). Hybrids are G and the Crossover. Drivers are G, G Sf Tec and LS Tec. Very easy to differentiate between the clubs.
Take it down to 9 degrees, ball way up, wider stance aim down the right rough line....boom.
Sorry....just dreaming.
Very likely that the lighter weight is increasing swing speed. I walked in to the local shop and they had a used set of Steelhead Xr's w/xp95 in r300, standard lie. I almost walked out with them but I left them there. They simp,y go too much left for me. They also had a set of cf16 Apexes with a kbs vtour 90. Almost as long but no lefts.
I think I like the cf16 better but they are way too expensive and I still think the Steelheads with the correct shaft would be a winner,
sdandrea1 the older I get, lighter seems better. I have the AB 5W as well.
I agree, As long as your swing speed match up with overall static weight of the golf club.
I lost the feel for the club head with the lighter weight irons or woods, when the length gets over the 5 iron length.
Have to weight it down with lead tape to fell anything , avoiding the thin shots.
This could be the reason why many golfer could not swing a golf club well when it's longer than 5 iron length.
