    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.
    • The oversize profile provides stability on mis-hits for more consistent carry distance.
    • A slight draw bias works to offset the tendency of average golfers to fade or slice lower-lofted clubs.
    • The strongest lofted hybrids in the Callaway lineup improve ball speed and compensate for golfers who tend to add loft at impact.
    • 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 built-in draw bias best complement Callaway’s Elyte X iron model.
    • 18, 21, 25, 29 degrees (with a seven-way adjustable hosel)
