Elyte
Elyte
- An internal-weighting structure (a 31-gram tungsten bar sits low and forward) reduces spin and allows the lower part of the clubface to flex like the centre.
- An AI-driven clubface design optimises launch and spin and increases ball speed.
- The sole geometry’s extensive relief on the back half reduces the contact area by almost 60 percent.
- Top 5 in Performance, low and high-handicaps
- 15, 16.5, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27 degrees (adjustable hosel on the 15-, 16.5-degree).
Elyte ♦♦♦
- The compact shape targets high-skilled players seeking lower spin and launch.
- A fixed weight screw lowers the centre of gravity and maintains a neutral ball flight.
- A 31-gram tungsten bar positioned low and forward reduces spin and frees up the lower portion of the face to flex with the same potential ball speed as the centre.
- Callaway used AI-driven algorithms to develop a variable-thickness face.
- The sole’s stepped design features extensive relief for improved turf interaction.
- 15, 18, 21 degrees (adjustable hosel on the 15-degree).
Elyte Max Fast
- The lighter overall weight targets players with moderate swing speeds looking for a higher launch and a draw bias.
- A 31-gram tungsten bar positioned low and forward reduces spin and frees up the lower portion of the face to flex with the same potential ball speed as the centre.
- A high-strength steel-alloy face insert wraps around the crown and sole to promote faster ball speeds.
- A carbon-composite crown lowers the centre of gravity and provides mass for perimeter weighting.
- 16, 19, 22, 25 degrees (fixed hosel).
Elyte X
- Slightly larger than the standard model, the Elyte X focuses on forgiveness, higher launch and slice-fighting.
- A 31-gram tungsten bar positioned low and forward reduces spin and frees up the lower portion of the face to flex with the same potential ball speed as the centre.
- A high-strength steel face insert wraps around the crown and sole for better overall ball speeds.
- Callaway used AI-driven algorithms to develop a variable-thickness face.
- Top 5 in Forgiveness, middle-handicaps
- 15, 16.5, 18, 21 degrees (adjustable hosel on the 15-, 16.5-degree).
“Nice, contrasting colour scheme. The club really performs through the turf, gliding and launching the ball very rapidly on line. From a forgiveness standpoint, it felt like it had guardrails.”
– 10-handicap on the Elyte
“Face is hot. Comes right off the club and goes to work.”
– 6-handicap on the Elyte ♦♦♦
“The club basically swings itself. High-launching.”
– 0-handicap on the Elyte Max Fast
“As forgiving as my mother. Barely lost any distance and stayed on target.”
– 6-handicap on the Elyte X
