    Why We Like It

    • Designed for players with moderate to average swing speeds seeking a higher launch with more carry.
    • As with the standard Elyte model, a high-strength stainless-steel cupface—in which the sole wraps around part of the sole and topline—provides Formula-1 speed off the face.
    • The irons feature the RCH S2H2 short hosel that Callaway’s late R&D chief Dick Helmstetter was famous for designing. The shorter hosel saves six grams that were used to lower the center of gravity to achieve higher launch.
    • The sole design—inspired by tour-player input—is efficient to the point that it can add one mile per hour ball speed, according to Callaway.
    • The design of the club’s frame enables more use of microspheres to produce the sound of a one-piece iron in a two-piece club.
    • Top 5 in Performance, high-handicaps.
    • SPECS: 7-iron: 30 degrees, PW: 43 degrees

    Surviving The Hot List: Celebrity Intern

    From the Manufacturer
    Callaway Elyte HL

    For players looking to increase carry distance and stopping power into greens, the Elyte HL iron is built from the ground up to enhance launch and improve descent angles. It features the new Speed Frame construction, which allows for stiffness in the body and flexure in the face for fast ball speeds. The Speed Frame dampens vibrations allowing for a crisper sound and feel. A tri-sole design features three distinct sections to ensure fast, smooth turf interaction. The Ai10x Face produces exceptionally fast ball speeds, tight dispersion, and optimized launch across the face.
