Callaway Driver Elyte Golf Club

The new 2025 ELYTE series dramatically shatters the notion that both speed and forgiveness are difficult to achieve, achieving exceptional distances in the elite realm. 

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 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 delivers improved 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 standard ELYTE Driver is a model suitable for a wide range of players, featuring three new-style weight ports at the rear of the head that also contribute to weight reduction.

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 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 than the previous model, with a larger projected area for 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 ELYTE Driver, the standard model in the series, features three new weight ports at the rear of the head. These ports are positioned for draw, neutral, and fade , allowing for approximately 20 yards of lateral adjustment
  Changing the location of the approximately 13g weights allows for approximately 20 yards of lateral trajectory adjustment. Furthermore, the weight ports are designed without the need for ribs, making them significantly lighter than the sliding weights used in the previous standard model, the PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX Driver. While significantly contributing to optimized weight distribution, the ability to mount a denser weight closer to the periphery of the head also improves forgiveness. The ELYTE Driver also features a screw weight of approximately 2g at the front of the sole.

• The sole is entirely made of titanium to help the ball launch easily
  The ELYTE Driver head has a volume of 460cc and a round head shape typical of Callaway. The crown is made of thermoforged carbon, while the sole is entirely made of titanium to lower the center of gravity and make it easier to launch the ball. Three lofts are available: 9, 10.5, and 12 degrees, and an adjustable hosel is also included. Aimed at players of a wide range of skill levels, the driver features better ball contact than its predecessor, producing a straighter, more draw-like trajectory.
