Adding a reliable hybrid club to your golf bag can significantly improve your performance when attacking greens from a distance. The Callaway Elyte X hybrid is designed to compete with the most forgiving hybrids on the market, offering golfers confidence at address with its large head and semi-draw-bias design. The taller face of the Elyte X promotes a high launch with low spin, making it a perfect option for those seeking extra distance in their game or as a replacement for the driver on narrow holes.
During testing, the Elyte X hybrid outperformed the standard Elyte hybrid in terms of carry and total distance. With an average spin rate of 3467rpm, the Elyte X produced around 400rpm less spin than the standard version, resulting in consistent ball speeds across different strike locations. The Ai10x face technology also contributed to the club’s forgiveness, maintaining ball speeds even on off-center hits.
The Elyte X hybrid offers adjustable weights on the sole, allowing golfers to further customize their ball flight. By positioning the heavier weight towards the heel, players can promote a drawing ball flight and reduce the likelihood of slicing. The club has a firm and lively impact sensation, with a higher-pitched acoustic compared to other hybrids on the market.
For golfers seeking a go-to club for tee shots or a hybrid option with generous forgiveness, the Elyte X hybrid may be the ideal choice. Its high launch and low spin properties make it an excellent option for maximizing distance off the fairway or tee box. However, golfers who frequently find themselves in the rough may prefer the regular Elyte hybrid for better performance in those conditions.
The Callaway Elyte X hybrid is set to be available for purchase online and in retailers on January 31st, with a retail price of $299/£299. With its combination of forgiveness, distance, and adjustability, the Elyte X hybrid offers amateur golfers a versatile option for long iron shots and challenging lies on the course. Add this top-performing hybrid to your bag and watch your game improve with each swing.
