What’s new? How much does it cost? And, how they perform? Max McVittie brings you the lowdown on the new Callaway Elyte irons.

The demands of golfers continues to rise. Callaway believe these Elyte irons answer those needs by delivering better fits, better performance from better data.

The needs of golfers differs from person to person. Some need long distance and consistency, others require higher launch and maximum carry, extreme forgiveness and more confidence maybe be the order of the day or lightweight, easy distance irons could be the solution.

Callaway’s Elyte iron range provides options for all golfers, but which set will be suite you and your game. Find out in our full breakdown of the line-up…

Callaway Elyte Irons: The Technology

The brand have constructed a new Speed Frame construction to help boost those numbers up and delver quicker ball speeds. The jump in speed helps to achieve further carry distances for those long approach shots into the heart of the putting surface.

Callaway have crafted this new construction to incorporate advanced design elements which allow for additional patented urethane microspheres. In short this helps to dampen the vibrations from the topline, improving the sound and feel of the irons. The brand believe they continue to have industry-leading ball speed with this new range.

The speed frame construction also gives these game-improvement irons more of a premium players’ iron feel. Something that is extremely desirable amongst low handicappers especially.

Similar to the Callaway Elyte drivers the irons incorporate the new Ai10x face into the clubs. This technological advancement allows each model to be optimised for every player and their needs whether it be forgiveness, launch or speed.

As the name of the face technology suggests, these irons help to deliver 10x more control
points than the previous Ai Smart Face used in past generations. The face and shape combination work in sync for complete performance.

Additionally, possibly a tad surprising, these irons feature an all-new tri-sole design. This is something that is typically explored in players’ irons but Callaway have opted to include it in these game-improvement offerings for added performance.

The leading edge of the irons have a shaper grind for better turf interaction as the club enters and exits the ground. This design is inspired by research on the professional tours where it benefits the pros greatly as it improves speed and forgiveness.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
