About the Callaway X-16

The Steelhead X-16 followed the X-14 in 2002 and refined the Steelhead sole and the S2H2 hosel rather than reinventing them. Lofts are a degree stronger than the X-14 through the middle of the set, giving a 34 degree 7-iron and a 46 degree pitching wedge, and Callaway published a full bounce ladder for this generation, running from flat at the long irons to 15 degrees at the sand wedge. Lies remain the upright Callaway standard of the era at 65 degrees through the wedges. The catalogued range ran 1-iron to lob wedge, with 3-PW the usual retail set.

Finding a used set

The Callaway X-16 ran from 2002 to 2004 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search the used listings on eBay, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
