The Callaway Elyte 3-Wood is a modern, high-performance fairway wood designed to give golfers a blend of forgiveness, distance, and speed — whether hitting from the fairway, rough, or tee. It aims to make long shots more reliable and easier to launch, combining advanced club-face technology, weight positioning, and improved turf interaction to deliver consistent results even on off-centre strikes.
Key Features
-
Tungsten Speed Wave low-forward weight: The Elyte 3-Wood uses a 35 g tungsten “Speed Wave” weight suspended low and forward in the head. This positioning lowers the center of gravity (CG) and helps produce faster ball speeds, higher launch, and strong carry — even when contact isn’t dead-centre.
-
New Step Sole design for smoother turf interaction: The sole is shaped to reduce turf contact (Callaway claims up to around 57% less turf interaction compared with some earlier fairway woods), which helps the club glide through grass rather than dig — making it easier to hit from fairway, rough or even tight lies.
-
Advanced “Ai 10x” Face Cup: A redesigned clubface with more control points delivers high ball speed and consistent distance across a larger area of the face. That translates into better forgiveness on off-centre hits and more stable ball flight and launch. *
-
High-launch / fairly low-spin profile: The combination of weight placement, face design and overall club geometry tends to produce a ball flight that launches relatively high but with controlled spin — a good balance for long carries and stable distance.
-
Versatility from tee, fairway, or rough: Reviewers and testers often highlight that the Elyte 3-Wood is easy to hit from a variety of lies — tee, fairway, or rough — making it a versatile long-shot club. Golf Monthly+2Complete Golfer+2
-
Neutral to slightly neutral flight / shot shape control: The standard Elyte design doesn’t heavily bias draw or fade, giving you more control and predictability. The adjustable hosel (on lofted woods) can help fine-tune launch/trajectory if needed.
