The Elyte X is the forgiving one: Callaway rates its forgiveness highest in the Elyte line, against higher for the Elyte, and builds a slight draw into its stretched-back head, with a weight that sets neutral or draw. The Elyte is the all-round head, with lower spin and a 13-gram weight that sets neutral, draw or fade. Both are 460cc and 45.75 inches long, in 9°, 10.5° and 12° (12° right-handed only), with the same stock shafts; the Elyte X sits at a 59° lie against 57°.
