How to identify this generation
- Steelhead lettering over a red-and-blue XR emblem on a black cavity badge, Callaway script on a white panel at the toe and a small CUP 360 marking on the upper cavity.
- The Steelhead name also appears on these Callaway irons; compare their markings before using this chart: Steelhead XR Pro (2017); Steelhead X-14 (2018 US catalog).
What to notice in the specifications
- Callaway also lists a women’s build (36 in 7-iron) with the same lofts and lies.
Checking a club you own? These are the maker's published figures for an original build, not measurements of your club, and a source date is not the year it was made. Bending, reshafting or a hosel adjustment changes loft, lie and length, so identify the head by its own markings and have a fitter measure it when its history is unclear.
Read our loft guide for a worked example of comparing the numbers, and our used iron checklist before relying on a seller's description.
