Through extensive player testing, Callaway identified a common trend: many golfers tend to strike the ball lower on the face
Callaway’s fairway woods have been a standout in recent years, and the new Elyte series takes performance to another level. Through extensive player testing, Callaway identified a common trend: many golfers tend to strike the ball lower on the face, which can lead to reduced ball speed and excessive spin. To counteract this, Callaway introduced the Tungsten Speed Wave, a forward-positioned weight system that enhances launch conditions and preserves ball speed—even on low-face hits.
“When you do strike it low on the face, you still maintain really solid ball speed, and that spin stays lower, so you’re not ultra-penalized.”
AI 10x Face: Smarter Performance Across the Clubface
The AI 10x face brings improved consistency and forgiveness, helping golfers maintain speed and distance on both toe and heel strikes. The clubface is designed to flex strategically, generating maximum ball speed without sacrificing control or dispersion downrange.
Beyond just the face, the club’s construction reinforces stability, ensuring a robust, high-performance fairway wood that retains energy transfer across all impact locations. The result? Consistently strong ball flights with optimized launch and spin, even when shots aren’t struck perfectly.
Immediate Tour Adoption & Player Excitement
One of the strongest indicators of success for any new equipment line is how quickly players adopt it, and the Elyte fairway woods have already made their way into professional bags across the tours.
“A lot of guys and gals have been switching to it immediately, which for us is always exciting.”
With increased buzz on TV and professional circuits, Callaway expects the Elyte series to play a key role in competitive wins throughout the season.
Final Thoughts
The Callaway Elyte fairway woods represent a significant leap forward in design and technology. With the Tungsten Speed Wave enhancing low-face strikes and the AI 10x face delivering superior consistency, these clubs offer a perfect blend of power, forgiveness, and control. Whether you’re looking to maximize distance, optimize launch, or tighten dispersion, the Elyte fairway woods deliver in every category.
