What stands out about the XR 16 Fairway lofts?

XR 16 Fairway loft progression
The loft map is ordered by actual static loft, which matters for named options such as Heavenwood that do not always sit numerically between the wood labels around them. Head shape, centre of gravity and shaft length can still make equal-loft fairway woods fly differently.
Where are the tightest and widest loft gaps?
The tightest static gap is 0.5° between Heavenwood and 7-wood. The widest is 4° between 3-wood and 5-wood. Those are the first transitions worth checking if real carry gaps look compressed or stretched.

XR 16 Fairway Loft Intelligence
These derived specs show how the fairway-wood lineup is spaced and where the loft structure is unusually tight or wide.
15° to 23°
between adjacent lofts
Highly varied
9-wood
5W to 7W structure: 2° separates the 5-wood and 7-wood.
Progression fingerprint: Adjacent loft gaps run from 0.5° to 4° with a 1.8° median.
Coverage: The family spans 8° from the 3-wood to the 9-wood. This shows how many distinct static-loft windows the lineup covers better than the club numbers alone.
Loft Consistency Score: 0/100. A score of 100 means perfectly even spacing between adjacent loft options.
Spec note: Factory lofts can vary by model year, region, handedness or special configuration. Verify an exact club against Callaway documentation when a single degree matters for fitting, replacement or bending.
