Elyte $399.99 · Qi35 $449.99, each with its shop and checked date
Each maker rates its driver higher for forgiveness, a step below its Max model (the Elyte X, the Qi35 Max), so both score 3 of 5 here. Both are 460cc, 45.75 inches long as standard, in 9°, 10.5° and 12°, the 12° right-handed only. The Elyte has one 13-gram weight that sets a neutral, draw or fade flight and a carbon crown, and Callaway rates it for a mid-high launch and low spin; the Qi35 has two moveable weights, a Max-shaped head and a near zero CG projection, rated for a mid launch and mid-low spin, and comes in senior and extra stiff flexes. The Elyte comes in a senior flex too, as Callaway's R2 (Light), and in regular and stiff.
TaylorMade's all-round driver of 2025, rated higher for forgiveness on its chart, a step below the Qi35 Max: a Max-shaped 460cc head of five materials with two moveable weights, in 9°, 10.5° or 12°.

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.
Callaway rates them as forgiving as each other: each is the all-round driver of its year, rated higher for forgiveness on Callaway's chart, a step below the Elyte X and the Quantum Max D, which are rated highest.
The Qi35 Max is the more forgiving: TaylorMade rated it highest for forgiveness of its Qi35 drivers and the Qi35 higher, and called the Max the most forgiving of the family at 10K MOI, from a fixed 34-gram tungsten weight at the back.
