    Why We Like It

    • This model seeks to maximize distance for average golfers through adjustability and lie angle while offering the same control of the equivalent iron.
    • These heads sport a larger overall profile with a shallower face to foster confidence in average golfers looking for more forgiveness and easier launch.
    • A slight draw bias works to offset the tendency of average golfers to fade or slice lower-lofted clubs.
    • These feature the weakest lofts in the Elyte hybrid lineup to help average to below-average players create more distance potential.
    • The adjustable hosel has seven settings that provide 1-degree loft adjustments (weak or strong) and up to 2 degrees of adjustment for lie (weak or strong).
    • After researching thousands of average-golfer swings, Callaway concluded that the proper lie angle for an individual player was crucial to better contact with hybrids, hence the reason for the new adjustable hosel’s emphasis on lie angle.
    • The design of the variable-thickness face used input from AI’s analysis of thousands of swings. The result is more precision and effectiveness for the target player.
    • The head sizes, lofts and overall lighter swingweights best complement Callaway’s Elyte Max Fast iron.
    • Designed for moderate-swing-speed players who need the benefits of a lighter club.
    • 23, 27, 31, 35, 39 degrees (with a seven-way adjustable hosel)
