Callaway Fairway Wood Elyte Max Fast Golf Club

The ELYTE fairway woods, with their maximum speed and distance potential , inspire aggressive play. While achieving both high levels of speed and forgiveness, they were developed with a focus on addressing two key issues facing fairway woods. The first is inconsistent impact points. Like the driver, the Ai 10x FACE increases the control point by 10 times compared to the PARADYM Ai SMOKE MAX FAST fairway wood, providing powerful support for a variety of mishits. The second is impact on the lower part of the face. To ensure a solid ball flight even on topped impacts, the new design features a tungsten speed wave slightly elevated from the inside of the sole and a step sole design with a slightly elevated rear section.

The ELYTE MAX FAST fairway woods are the lightest model in the series, thanks to the use of triaxial carbon not only in the crown but also in part of the sole, and the use of bonded hosels in all clubs. By swinging through to the finish in one go, you can maximize your head speed and ball speed. The lineup consists of four types, from W#3 to W#9.

Features & Benefits:

• Like the driver, the new ELYTE fairway wood is equipped with the Ai 10x FACE, which delivers a straight flight no matter where you hit it
  Enhanced software capabilities allow AI to scan the face design down to the finest details, significantly increasing the number of control points (locations on the face that correct for optimal trajectory). This improves upon the previous model's ability to address inconsistencies in the impact point, one of the biggest mistakes made with fairway woods, and allows you to hit the ball farther and within a narrower landing range, regardless of where you hit the ball on the face.

• Tungsten Speed Wave, which doesn't inhibit lower-section flex
  The lower front portion of the sole, in the toe-heel direction, features a uniquely integrated weight called Tungsten Speed Wave, which is installed in a different way than previous models. Conventional weights are attached to the inside or outside of the sole by welding or screws. While this method achieves a low, shallow center of gravity, it also has the drawback of inhibiting flex from the lower part of the face to the front of the sole. The Tungsten Speed Wave is fixed with screws at a position away from the face inside, while the portion extending from the toe to the heel near the face is designed to be slightly elevated from the inside of the sole. This allows the lower part of the face to flex firmly, even on impacts close to the top, enabling the ball to be launched high and far.

• The sole design
  has also been completely redesigned. It adopts the step-sole design seen on the 2022 APEX UW, which features a step midway through the shaft. The rear section is slightly elevated and raised, reducing the sole's contact area with the ground by 57%. This reduces excess sole rebound at impact, improving head release and significantly reducing mishits on the lower part of the face. At the same time, the front sole design takes into account the instability of the head's seating due to the raised rear of the sole. It's designed to prevent the face from opening up when the club is set on the ground.

• While five models in the lightweight
  series utilize carbon not only in the crown but also in the sole, the ELYTE MAX FAST Fairway Wood, as its name suggests, is designed to increase head speed and ball speed through its lightweight construction. Like the ELYTE X Fairway Wood, the head is slightly longer from front to back, creating a reassuring shape that makes the overall club appear larger, and the face is shallow, making it easier to pick up the ball. While the crown of every club, like other models, utilizes triaxial carbon, the ELYTE MAX FAST Fairway Wood goes beyond that by also utilizing triaxial carbon in a portion of the sole, significantly contributing to the weight reduction. The only weight used is the aforementioned tungsten Speed Wave, with no weight placed at the rear of the sole.

• The ELYTE MAX FAST Fairway Wood comes in four different lofts, all featuring a bonded hosel
  The lineup includes four lofts: W#3, W#5, W#7, and W#9. The face materials are Carpenter 455 steel for the W#3, W#5, and W#7, and 17-4 stainless steel for the W#9. Another key feature is the use of a bonded hosel for all lofts to reduce weight.
