Callaway Steelhead XR Irons
I'm delighted to announce the introduction of the new Callaway iron - the Steelhead XR, an extension to the major winning family of XR golf clubs.
What Callaway have to say...
'Steelhead XR Irons combine the iconic shaping and playability that made Callaway's Steelhead X-14 one of the most successful irons of all time with next-generation 360 Face Cup™ technology, which allows the edges of the ultra-thin face to freely flex and release at impact with greater efficiency, adding ball speed that promotes more distance, especially on off-centre hits.'
The boost in face speed is so significant that it has increased the COR (spring-like effect of the ball leaving the face) close to what is legally permitted under the Rules of Golf.
What does this really mean...
A hotter face will produce greater ball speeds, higher ball speeds equals more distance. However this is from across the whole face, not just the sweet spot. Callaway have increased the forgiveness of the new iron, so you are able to achieve Callaway's legendary performance from a larger hitting area off the face.
I'm pleased to be able to inform you we have already receive our demo fitting equipment for this new club, we are therefore able to custom fit you in the swing studio prior to the clubs global launch.

A Date For Your Diary
With the Olympic golf behind us, our attention now turns to the Ryder Cup. Before that first tee shot on September 30, however, come the wild card selections on August 30. This is when Darren Clarke will name his three players who will join those who have already qualified (see below).
So, how is Team Europe shaping up? The following names are guaranteed their spot on the plane to Minnesota:
Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Henrik Stenson, Chris Wood, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Andy Sullivan and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Yes, some big names are set to miss out! However, the favourites for the wild card spots are Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Russell Knox. You have to say, it's a strong side given the likes of Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald and Shane Lowry are looking like missing out… maybe.
As the saying goes, 'One man's loss is another man's gain'. Fitzpatrick qualified at the weekend and his reaction was superb - well done that man.
Now I can't promise you'll be on the Ryder Cup team in two years but if you'd like to make some changes to help you move from a golfer who sits at home and thinks...'if only' to a golfer that enjoys their game more and has a chance to compete, click here to request a lesson or lesson package today.
Let the countdown begin…

A ball fitting can work wonders for your game |
| One of the reasons we like Callaway's clothing is the technology involved that makes its garments so effective in hot conditions - be it Opti-Vent or Opti-Cool. Have a browse when you're next in, especially if you've got a lot of golf planned over what we hope will be a sunny back end of the summer. | | |
