Golf Digest South Africa Hotlist 2025

ELYTE MAX FAST 

R6 500

• The larger profile and shallower face foster confidence in average golfers looking for more forgiveness and easier launch. • A slight draw bias on the lower-lofted clubs works to offset the common slice tendency. • The lighter weight is designed for moderate-swing- speed players. • Weaker lofts aid launch for players with below-average speed. • Best option for golfers who fit into Callaway’s Elyte Max Fast iron. • 23, 27, 31, 35, 39 degrees (seven-way adjustable hosel)

‘Felt as forgiving as a fairway wood and so easy through the turf. No trouble launching these.’ – 13-HANDICAP

ELYTE X 

R6 500

• This model seeks to maximise distance for average golfers through adjustability and lie angle. • The oversized profile provides stability on mis-hits for more consistent distance. • A slight draw bias offsets the tendency of most golfers to slice low-lofted clubs. • These strongest-lofted hybrids in the lineup boost ball speed. • The adjustable hosel features up to 2 degrees of adjustment for lie, a key to better contact with hybrids, per Callaway research. • 18, 21, 25, 29 degrees (seven-way adjustable hosel)

‘Distance stood out. A hybrid that lives on the frontier with fairway woods. Would feel confident on a long par 3 with this.’ – 11-HANDICAP
