What changed in the Women's Quantum Max Fast
Both are Callaway's light women's driver for a moderate swing: 460cc, a 59° lie and 10.5° or 12° on a 40 g ladies-flex Mitsubishi shaft. The Quantum Max Fast replaces the Elyte's carbon crown with a carbon chassis around the whole head and its Ai 10x face with the Tri-Force face of titanium, Poly Mesh and carbon fibre. It is an eighth of an inch longer (44.5 inches against 44.375), and Callaway sells it right-handed only, where the Elyte Max Fast comes in either hand.
Callaway still sells the Elyte Max Fast new, for less than the Quantum Max Fast; this page shows both prices. Choose it if you play left-handed or want to pay less; choose the Quantum Max Fast for Callaway's newest face.

How the 3.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what Callaway publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 3 | A game improvement driver head, not the most forgiving kind Callaway made. |
| Forgiveness score | 3.0 | of 5 |
Draw help, lofts, flex and hand don't change the score. They decide which version fits you, and the picks for a slice or a slow swing use them.
