The Elyte X is the forgiving one: Callaway rates it highest for forgiveness in the Elyte line, against high for the Elyte, with an oversized cavity back, more offset (4.0 mm at the 7-iron against 3.0 mm), a wider sole and a thicker topline. Its lofts are a degree stronger in every club, a 28° 7-iron against 29°, while the lengths and lies are the same in both sets. Both come left- or right-handed with the same steel and graphite shafts, in senior, regular or stiff flex.
Callaway rates them as forgiving as each other: each is its mid-size game improvement iron of the year, rated high for forgiveness on Callaway's chart, with a 29° 7-iron and a three-part sole.
Two game improvement irons with nearly the same lofts: by the makers' tables they match from the 4-iron to the AW or UW (a 29° 7-iron and a 42° PW in both), but for the 6-iron, half a degree stronger on the Elyte.
Two Callaway game improvement irons a year apart, the Ai Smoke the older, made for the same golfer, with an average to faster swing; Callaway's charts rate both High for forgiveness, both score 3 of 5 here, and its Quantum Max replaced both.
