Callaway Elyte fairway woods: Full reviews, player testing, photos and more
HIGHLIGHTS
Five fairway wood models
New step sole design
Tungsten SpeedWave WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
With its fairway woods, Callaway is launching five new models with four models carrying over from the driver family. The outlier is the Elyte Ti fairway wood, which wasn’t necessarily intended for launch, but Callaway CEO Chip Brewer played with the prototype and liked it so much that he said, “We’re launching it.”
All of the models feature the company’s new Step Sole design that comes from studying the success of the Callaway Apex UW line. The idea was to help golfers strike the ball more consistently in the center of the face and to help them avoid striking the ball low on the face.

With Step Sole, according to Callaway, 57 percent of the sole area has been moved down, minimizing turf interaction to help the golfers strike the ball more cleanly in the center of the club.
The other piece of tech to help with low strikes is the all-new Tungsten SpeedWave, which is featured on all of the fairway woods up to 7-wood. (Elyte core is available up to an 11-wood.)
The 35-gram weight positions help reduce spin and increase ball speeds.
