Nope. It’s amazing.
Callaway Elyte Fairway Woods
If I didn’t absolutely love my 21° UW I would consider it more than I am. Right now I want to replace my 5W and find myself here looking for info on that and you keep posting about the wrong club! Lol
I wonder if @vgolfman has the answer if there's a flat cog for fairways.
Lol not gonna work they got me and i am glad they did. Surprised how good it is, no regrets except now with Elyte X and Core 7 and had no interest in pulling out my non Elyte 5 Wood
Oh shoot it’s real!
The Elyte 5w (lofted up to 19 deg) is more consistent than my UW. Just in case it helps to plant that in your mind.

X gets the nod on approach at a green. TI get the nod for down right distance and no care of hold.
I think you will see more height and greater decent angle with more spin outside.

I’m at the point where I’d consider the heavenwood or 7 wood.

Ball position comes in to play between deck and tee. More forward off the tee and tee height might need to be higher than you think. Typically I position same as driver.
If ball position is same off the deck as tee, then yes a lower tee height would be warranted.
That's a third party aftermarket part I think. Could be good but I don't know what it would mean for warranty

You really are hitting that well. Do you feel this will stay in the bag for some time?

I do better typically when I tee it lower off the tee.

You know I switch clubs all the time , but 3W stay in the bag the longest. RBZ to Rogue SZ to Epic Max to LTDx & Aerojet to Elyte Ti. This one will be in the bag for awhile.
Makes me wonder why I didn't go with the TI.
Four swings with the 3HL today. I think +1 at 17.5 is the right setting for me. Good trajectory, no ballooning, good blend of distance and control.
On 10 I had around 225 in on a par 5, a touch of wind, so I hit it as hard as I could and caught I maybe one groove thin but got it to the front corner of the green for an easy chip and near birdie.
Hit it off the tee on a short par 4 but blocked it a bit, caught a cart path, and wound up partially blocked by a tree but it held its line and would have been fine if not for the cart path.
Had another long par 4 into the wind and tried it hit another hard one on approach but nearly topped it swinging too hard. Still rolled to about 50 yards from the flag, not a bad bogey on the #2 handicap hole.
16 a long par 3 playing slightly uphill and was into a two club wind. It would take all of the 3HL to get there. Hit it well, low draw, just didn’t start it far enough right and caught a slope and kicked into a grass bunker just short of the pin. Was still a good shot, was not mad at it at all. Hard to be angry with it on a 200 yard hole.

Spent a few hours at the range today mainly focused on getting my Elyte better off the tee. What ended up being the best for me was ball forward like my driver and tee it up low! I was drilling mid high flight balls that were crushed. I tried multiple tee heights and any higher it went to the moon. Thank you to all three of you for the suggestions. I have a round scheduled for tomorrow and will see what happens off the tee. I did hit two off the deck on the range that were pure lol. I just laugh because off the deck should not be that easy.

You’re welcome. It’s an absolute dream off the deck. I found teeing it higher didn’t work for me and frankly not needed.

This game is so individual and that's awesome you found your sweet spot!
Awesome! I tried @Dougie’s high tee height this afternoon. Skied one ball (went 225 though), and got a skymark on the crown of my 3wood on the second. I’m not doing that again. Low tee only for me. The Elyte X is just too shallow of a clubhead to tee high.
I got a chance to play over the weekend but only got to hit the Elyte X 3W three times in the round. Driver was on fire so I only went 3w twice off the tee and once on my second into a par 5. It’s funny because although it was only 3 shots, I saw 3 very different things to love about the Elyte lineup and what it brings to the table.
On the third hole, there’s a bunker about 270 straight out and you really want to be around 250 up the left center. I stepped up with the Elyte X and made a confident swing. I hit it great, right out of the center and watched the ball launch like a rocket. Small draw up the center that finished in a perfect spot leaving a short wedge into the green.
I didn’t hit 3W again until the 11th tee. There’s water up the right so the perfect shot is up the left. There’s a bunker that’s about 215 to cover so 3W should be perfectly fine. Well I was thinking about it too much and trying to guide one in there. I hit it super low on the face up the left. To my surprise, the Tungsten Speed Wave saved my butt! It launched with enough height and speed to easily carry the bunker. I somehow hit it about 235 and had only a pw in on the second. Way better than I deserved!
The final shot was my second on 18, a long par 5. I hit a great tee shot up the left but had 218 over the water, 237 to the pin, and 250 to the back of the green. I pulled the Elyte X and went for it. Unfortunately, another poor swing. I hit this one low and very heely. Now I know this shot well. I’ve hit many here that end up two fairways right and way short. It launched nicely and although it went right, it finished still on the correct side of the cart path even with the front third of the green. I was again rewarded by the ai 10x face and tungsten speed wave with a fairly easy pitch from about 35 yards after a poor swing.
The Elyte X and the tech it’s packed with continue to impress and help me more than I could have ever expected.
