Callaway Golf has unveiled details of a new range of metalwoods, hybrids and irons that promise significant performance gains over the company’s previous Paradym Ai Smoke range.
The all-new Elyte family of drivers and fairway woods will be at retail from January 31, with the hybrids and irons on sale from February 21.
ELYTE DRIVERS
Callaway’s new Elyte driver comes in four models – Standard, X, Max Fast, Triple Diamond – although the Max Fast model is only available in the US.
Claimed to offer up to eight yards more distance than the Paradym Ai Smoke driver, the Elyte drivers’ improved performance is led by an advanced new shape, developed through new prototype capabilities, that provides enhanced aerodynamics for increased swing speed and more forgiveness.
A revolutionary new aerospace grade Thermoforged Carbon crown enables fast head speeds while optimising high launch and low spin. Callaway’s most advanced face to date, the new Ai 10x Face, delivers 10x more control points than Paradym Ai Smoke, and is a breakthrough design that produces exceptionally fast ball speeds, tight dispersion, and optimised launch across the face.
Lofts: 9°, 105°, 12°
Shafts: True Temper Project X Denali Charcoal 50g (5.5-R, 6.0-S), 60g (6.0-S, 6.5-X), Mitsubishi Chemical Vanquish PL 40g

ELYTE FAIRWAY WOODS
The new Elyte Fairway Woods promote high launch, low spin, and exceptional speed with 57% less turf interaction than its predecessor.
Callaway’s unique Step Sole design and Tungsten Speed Wave combine with a new Ai 10x face to deliver more distance and forgiveness. The Tungsten Speed Wave’s new design is engineered specifically to enhance speed for misses that are low on the face.
The new Step Sole minimises skidding and drag, ensuring smoother, more solid strikes. Plus the Ai 10x Face provides exceptionally fast ball speeds, tight dispersion, and optimised launch across the face.
Elyte Fairway Woods are available in four models: Standard, X, Triple Diamond and Ti, with seven loft options from 15° (3) all the way up to 27° (11).

A new OptiFit 4 hosel system also provides unique loft and lie combinations, allowing golfers to find the perfect gapping between clubs.

ELYTE IRONS
Offered in three models – Standard, X, and HL – Elyte Irons promote exceptional ball speeds and forgiveness for every type of player. An optimised Speed Frame construction and new Ai 10x Face deliver incredible ball speed, forgiveness, sound, and feel.
A new Speed Frame construction incorporates advanced design elements allowing for additional patented urethane microspheres to deliver exceptional sound and feel. This innovative construction also produces fast ball speeds, giving you the distance and performance needed to elevate your game.
With more precise Ai, the Ai 10x Face produces exceptionally fast ball speeds, tight dispersion, and optimised launch across the face.
The tri-sole design features three distinct sections to ensure fast, smooth turf interaction. A sharper leading edge and trailing edge chamfer allow for efficient entry and exit, while the mid-section offers enhanced forgiveness for consistent results from a variety of lies.
