The Callaway Elyte 3-Wood is a modern fairway wood engineered to deliver easy launch, high ball flight, strong speed and forgiveness — whether you hit from the tee, fairway or rough. It’s designed for golfers who want a reliable long-club option that launches high and carries far, even on less-than-perfect strikes.
Key Features & Technologies
-
High-launch, low-spin flight profile: The Elyte 3-Wood builds in a design philosophy prioritizing a high initial launch with controlled (low–moderate) spin — a combination that helps deliver long carry distance and good stopping power.
-
Tungsten Speed Wave weight (≈ 35 g suspended weight low & forward): There is a 35-gram tungsten weight suspended near the sole, low and forward. This shifts the center of gravity (CG) lower and forward — helping launch the ball higher while preserving ball speed, even on hits low on the face.
-
New “Step Sole” design for better turf interaction: The sole of the club is stepped/back-relieved, which reduces the amount of sole that contacts the turf (~ 57 % less contact area compared with traditional soles). That helps the club glide through the turf rather than dig, improving consistency from fairway, rough, or tight lies.
-
Advanced “Ai 10x” Face Cup: The face uses Callaway’s latest AI-designed variable-thickness Face Cup, giving more flex and micro-deflection across a larger area of the clubface. This means better ball speeds and more forgiveness on off-centre hits.
-
Versatility from tee, fairway or rough: Because of its design (low-forward CG + step sole + forgiveness), the Elyte 3-Wood is versatile: suitable off the tee, from the fairway, or even from rough / awkward lies — helping get a high, stable ball flight from many positions.
-
Neutral-to-slightly high launch flight + forgiving flight-shape: Elyte aims for a relatively neutral ball flight (not heavily draw- or fade-biased) while giving a high launch and reliable distance — a “safe & dependable” long-club choice for many golfers
