Does anyone know why there is an 'R' on Callaway golf clubs?

Question

On all of the callaway clubs that i've seen has a 'R' somewhere on the club. on the '06 big berthas its inside the number. and same with the x-18 and 20s. and on the new x-forged its on the nosel of the club. what does this 'R' mean?

Answer 1

The "R" on the clubhead stands for regular. The "S" stands for stiff. Both refering to the shaft flex of the club.

How can you not know that?

Answer 2

I do not use Callaway clubs myself, but by normal convention the 'R' stands for 'regular' for the shaft of the club. Regular shafts are more forgiving, as compared to the stiff (S) shafts, which favours the pros and the hard hitters.

Answer 3

It refers to the flex of the shaft.  "R" is for regular/standard flex.  If you saw an "S" it would be stiff.   XS...extra stiff.  If you have a faster swing speed you should look at using stiff shafts; otherwise, stick with "R" flex.

Answer 4

regular flex....or better yet when you pay to buy them..its called..Ripped Off

Answer 5

Is it an "R" inside of a circle?  That's the registered trademark symbol... ha ha (maybe?)

Answer 6

the R is for regualr flex in the shafts
