Callaway claim the Rogue should be 1 to 1.5 mph faster on average across the face than the XR Speed, so the difference is only going to be around 3-5 yards. The Rogue did seem to create a little more ball speed in most circumstances but it was shaft and swing dependent. I probably preferred the sound of the XR 16 as it gave off a little 'zing' sound if you caught it well, whereas the XR Speed sounded a bit more mainstream against both the other models, but in a good way. Using the stock shafts in each club, it also launches higher with more spin so it seems to be targeted at those that need help with launch and speed. The XR Speed felt lighter than the other two models to swing thanks to that shaft and the lower CG.

Taking XR 16, XR Speed and Rogue on GC2 with Titleist Pro V1x balls I played around with the lofts and shafts and basically this is what I surmised. So that's why it is cheaper, but do you get more bang for your buck or proportionately less? Well, a bit of both and this is the fine line Callaway has to tread here between trying to be better than the rest, but not quite as good as Rogue.

The XR Speed also comes with the excellent Project X HZRDUS shaft, a version of which was in the Epic driver and is light, stable and a great addition to this club. The crown still features the same Speed Step device, although it is back to being the same V shape as the Epic rather than the single line of the Rogue. The X-Face VFT face is titanium and is lighter and thinner than the last version and apparently the 'hottest face Callaway has designed', so in the Rogue face should we assume that it is Jailbreak that is making up the difference.? The head is also set up with a slight draw bias to help with this, but it is pretty subtle so don't worry about it sending everything sharp left. This lowers the CG and aims to make the XR Speed more forgiving. Nominally the XR Speed replaces the all titanium Callaway XR 16 driver and the metal crown has been replaced with a carbon composite version that is 45% lighter and has a nice look to it at the back of the head. So why is it cheaper? Well, there are no Jailbreak bars in the head so that makes manufacturing simpler and in some ways Callaway are re-using previous design and technology to create almost a 'greatest hits' driver. The tactical market rationale behind the XR Speed is reinforced by the fact that it is only available in the UK and Europe and not the USA, so maybe there could be some imports going the other way in future.

The XR Speed driver RRP of £339 is £160 less than the Rogue driver and that makes it one of the cheapest drivers from a major brand and right in the gap created by all the driver prices heading north over £400 the last couple of years, with the exception of the TaylorMade M4 and the Ping G400 Max.
So why would you launch a driver that you say is not quite as good as the last one you launched 4 months ago? I've always hated the big-headed, 460cc game improvement drivers, but the matt gray finish, with the designs on the outer edges really hide the size of the head.This is going to be an interesting review for many reasons, but principally because Callaway has positioned the XR Speed driver as the fastest non-Jailbreak in the market, so in theory it's not quite as fast as the Epic or Rogue drivers. I just don't have anything negative to say about it. I'm not normally a 300 yard guy, but I finally did it with this driver. My buddies and I always try to hit the green on this hole and in the 2 years I've been playing golf, none of us has ever done it.
Yes, I landed on the green, pin high first time on the course with this driver. One of the courses I play has a 323 yard, par 4. I was playing a Callaway Razr-Fit Extreme, and it will now be going up for sale.ĭistance: The longest driver I have ever hit. Even your low, duck hook mistakes get the ball out there in playable position most times. The best thing about the forgiveness is that you will still see decent distance. I'm normally a slicer, and have still sliced with this driver, but that's my issue.įorgiving: Absolutely it's forgiving just about anywhere on the face that you make contact with the ball. I'm speaking to the regular X Hot, 460cc head, with an upgraded Diamanta 62CT, stiff shaft. It does exactly what most of the reviews says it does.
The X-Hot driver is light, yet you can still feel where the head is during your swing.
