XR Pro Iron Set
The first high speed, cavity back, cup-faced iron
Callaway has taken the Cup 360 that’s redefined ball speed in fairway woods and brought it to the XR Pro Irons. The improved Cup 360 acts like a spring on shots hit low on the face, and increases ball speeds everywhere else on the face too.
The distance on these irons is incredible, and that’s just the start. When you factor in the lower CG, all that forgiveness, the face flex of the Internal Standing Wave, along with the precise 2-piece, dual heat construction you can see why these irons are a must have.
Features
Revolutionary Ball Speed From Cup 360:
Our improved face cup technology acts like a spring on shots hit low on the face to increase ball speeds. The speed is higher at every other impact location on the face too.
Lower CG, More MOI and Ball Speed:
The Internal Standing Wave is the ultimate team player. It’s refined the way that Callawy lowers CG, increasing MOI and gives the face cup the freedom to flex for more ball speed.
New Construction And Shape:
An iron built for speed needs a different level of refinement and attention, in this case a 2-piece construction that includes a dual heat treatment. It’s precise, meticulous craftsmanship that XR deserves.

The Takeaway
The XR Pro is Callaway’s first Cavity Back Iron with 360 Cup Face Technology, which increases ball speed across the entire face. They also included an Internal Standing Wave, which offers a lower CG, increased MOI and gives the face cup freedom to provide better ball speeds along with a 2-piece construction.
Who's It For?
These irons are a great choice for scratch golfers, to mid-handicappers and improving golfers who want to increase their shot making abilities, receive increased feel from shot to shot, and want to control distances better than they would be able to with the even more forgiving game improvement heads.
Final Take
The XR Pro with its narrow sole, thin top line, high toe and satin finish was appealing to my eye. The 7 Iron that I was testing played more like a 6 iron and was a pleasure to swing. The 2-piece construction offered up a solid feel, with a slight “clicking” noise at impact. Shots were long and very consistent with a nice, penetrating flight! The XR Pro will find their way into a large amount of bags no matter the player’s skill levels. Another thing I love about the XR Pros is that there are so many shaft upgrades at no additional charge.
