A new driver from Callaway, called the XR 16 “Sub Zero,” recently appeared on the USGA’s List of Conforming Clubs. Here’s how it looked in black-and-white.

And here’s how it looks in color.

We spotted Callaway’s new Sub Zero driver (8.5 degrees) in the bag of Jason Gore at the 2016 CareerBuilder Challenge.

In his own words, here’s why Gore switched from Callaway’s Double Black Diamond into the XR 16 Sub Zero.

As part of a GolfWRX giveaway, Gore answered questions from our community about his current bag setup, thoughts about the PGA Tour, and other random questions — like has he ever shotgunned a beer and who’s the funniest guy on Tour. Read Gore’s entire Q&A with the GolfWRX community here.

Check out more photos of the driver in the gallery below.

Callaway is garbage, just like TSHWAG. How do you leave PING for Callaway?

I thought that Jason switched because he started hitting the new XR16 Subzero 18 yards farther. (I note it wasn’t a direct quote from Jason so there’s no need to impugn Jason’s credibility.)

“Confidence” is as much of a benefit as any launch monitor numbers, and often enough “confidence” produces better numbers. A great-looking driver is a good way to build confidence; and I’m not sure that there is a better-looking head shape at address coming out this year. Could there be a more classic-appearing driver this year?

I am going to watch anxiously to see what numbers reviewers get with this driver when they can get on a launch monitor. It is a spectacularly good-looking driver. I think I have been waiting five years for a great new driver head with classic dark paint and a plain stainless face. It is what a driver should look like.
