Callaway Driver Elyte Max Fast Golf Club

The AI utilizes only Asian swing data, and this model also features an adjustable hosel for the first time!

The 2025 new series, "ELYTE," has completely shattered the notion that it's difficult to simultaneously achieve speed and forgiveness. One major factor is the newly adopted Ai 10x FACE. By incorporating AI design into the product down to the smallest details, the number of control points that correct trajectory has increased by 10 times compared to the previous PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST driver. Investment in a 3D printer capable of producing titanium parts also sped up prototype production time by 90 times, resulting in a head shape that not only offers a reassuring appearance but also reduces air resistance through approximately 75 prototypes. Furthermore, the model incorporates Thermoforged carbon, a material used in the aerospace industry, which is easier to mold and improves feel and sound. These numerous advancements have resulted in four drivers that deliver greater distances, a narrower impact range, and greater ease of use than ever before. The lightweight "ELYTE MAX FAST Driver" was created by inputting only Asian swing data into its AI, resulting in a model that better suits the swing characteristics of Japanese golfers. Another noteworthy feature is that, despite its lightweight head, it is the first driver to feature an adjustable hosel.

Features & Benefits:

• The Ai 10x Face increases the number of trajectory correction points by 10 times
  The most significant advancement in the new ELYTE driver is the face. The AI Smart Face in the previous PARADYM Ai SMOKE series was limited in its ability to scan the AI-designed face design in detail due to software limitations, making it difficult to fully reflect the design in the final product. The ELYTE driver features a major software update. This enables the face design to be reproduced down to the smallest detail, increasing the number of control points (points on the face that correct for optimal trajectory) by 10 times compared to the PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST driver to 25,000. Additionally, the AI has significantly increased the amount of realistic swing data input, improving the accuracy of correction at each point. This face, named the "Ai 10x Face," represents the 10x increase in control points. This evolved "Ai 10x FACE" delivers incredible performance, increasing distance by up to 8 yards and narrowing the impact range by up to 19% (according to Callaway) compared to the previous model.

• Approximately 75 prototypes led to a shape with less air resistance and a sense of security
  With new investment, ELYTE introduced a 3D printer capable of handling titanium. This enabled prototypes to be produced in 1/90 of the usual lead time, enabling approximately 75 prototypes and tests of different head shapes. The shape that was ultimately adopted is shallower and has a larger projected area than the previous model, providing a sense of security while also significantly reducing air resistance. This has contributed greatly to improved head speed.

• Thermoforged carbon, which also contributes to the excellent sound on impact,
  is the carbon material used in the crown of the head. Thermoforged carbon, which is also used in the aerospace industry, is now being used. In addition to being light and strong, it is easier to mold than conventional triaxial carbon and can be manufactured to a higher degree of precision according to design. The use of this new material not only optimizes weight distribution, resulting in more ideal spin and launch angle, but also in a pleasant sound on impact.

• The Ai 10x FACE of the MAX FAST driver was designed almost exclusively based on the tendencies of Japanese golfers
  The ELYTE MAX FAST driver is the lightest model in the series, but before we discuss its lightness, we must first discuss the design process for the Ai 10x FACE. The AI was input with only swing data from Asian players, primarily Japanese (previously, only a portion of the data was from Asian players), resulting in a face design with control points that correct the trajectory to better match the swing tendencies and impact point of Japanese golfers. The rear end of the head features two new weight ports, one on the heel and one in the center. These are positioned for draw and neutral, respectively, and by changing the placement of the approximately 13g weight, the golfer can adjust the ball's grip.

• Even the MAX FAST model allows for trajectory adjustment with the hosel
  The ELYTE MAX FAST driver's head has a volume of 460cc and is slightly longer from front to back than the ELYTE driver, resulting in a shape that makes it easier to launch the ball. The sole is constructed mostly from titanium, with a small carbon fiber portion on the toe side for a lighter head. Three lofts are available: 9.5, 10.5, and 12 degrees. This is the first MAX FAST driver to feature an adjustable hosel. Targeted at golfers seeking a lightweight club to increase head and ball speed, the ELYTE MAX FAST driver offers greater distance and more consistent direction than its predecessor, with features that make it easier to achieve.
