Callaway Elyte X Fairway Wood

Built a little larger than the standard Elyte at 175cc, the X trades some of the family's compactness for a shape that sits easier behind the ball. Four lofts cover 15 to 21 degrees, a tighter range than the seven-head standard model offers, and the maraging steel face sits in the same multi-material build.

Shaft weights come down a step, Denali Charcoal in 50 and 60 rather than 60 and 70, with Vanquish PL 40 and 50 alongside and flexes from senior to X-stiff. The hosel adjusts; the weighting does not. That combination suits a player who wants launch and lie settled at the fitting and then wants to stop thinking about the club. If you need a 24 or 27 degree head, the standard Elyte is the one that goes there.
