Callaway Driver Elyte X Golf Club

The new 2025 ELYTE series dramatically changes the landscape of second shots, shattering the notion that it's difficult to simultaneously achieve ideal high-precision hydro-draw speed and forgiveness. One key factor is the newly adopted Ai 10x FACE. By incorporating AI design into the product down to the smallest detail, the number of control points that correct trajectory has increased by 10 times compared to the previous PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX D driver. Investment in a 3D printer capable of producing titanium parts also sped up prototype production time by 90 times. Approximately 75 prototypes were made to achieve a head shape that not only provides a reassuring appearance but also reduces aerodynamic drag. Furthermore, the ELYTE series incorporates Thermoforged carbon, a material used in the aerospace industry, which is easier to mold and improves feel and sound.

These numerous advancements result in four drivers that deliver greater distances, a tighter impact range, and greater ease of use than ever before. The ELYTE X Driver is a model with draw-biased characteristics that provide good grip, and is equipped with two ports at the rear of the head for attaching 13g weights. By switching the weights to the draw position, a more draw-biased setting than the previous model is possible. By attaching additional weights to a custom club, the head's moment of inertia can be increased to a total of 10K (10,000g/cm2).

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 fine details of the AI-designed face design 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 makes it possible to reproduce the face design down to the smallest detail, increasing the number of control points (areas on the face that correct for optimal trajectory) by 10 times compared to the PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX D 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.

• Two weight ports are available, including an 18g weight
  The ELYTE X Driver, the more forgiving model in the series, features two new weight ports—one on the heel side of the rear end of the head and one in the center. These ports are positioned for draw and neutral, respectively, and by changing the location of the approximately 13g weight, you can adjust the ball's grip. Furthermore, more weight density can now be placed on the outer periphery of the head than in the previous model, improving forgiveness. Custom weights are now available, allowing the head's lateral and vertical moment of inertia to be increased to a total of 10K (10,000g·cm2).

• The ELYTE X Driver head has a volume of 460cm3 and is slightly longer from front to back than the ELYTE driver, resulting in a draw-biased
  design that allows for easier ball launch. The slightly thicker heel section creates a draw-biased design, improving ball control. While the crown is made of thermoforged carbon, the sole is entirely made of titanium, with a low center of gravity for easier ball launch. Three lofts are available: 9, 10.5, and 12 degrees, and an adjustable hosel is also included. Targeted at players who tend to hit low or right-leaning balls, the new driver offers better ball control and easier high trajectories than its predecessor.
