Love the looks of these compared to this category of release in the past where the badges were colorful and such that personally felt cheesier. These are really well done.

They really are and their surprisingly small for what they are. I'm used to a little more junk in the trunk from the GI segment, but these are not that at all.
 
These look really nice. Easily rival other driver-core-lineup irons. I’ll hit them. I’m sure they have plenty of pop.
 
Wow, I’m really impressed with the looks of these.
 
Love the info here @ddec

-20% more urethan microspheres seems like it'll really help with the feel and feedback they wanna see
-Optimizing the faces based on typical golfer playing them with Ai...forever will be a game changer for them, so good
-Tri sole design seems like maybe a detail not everyone will notice off the rip, but the benefits seem awesome
-These look really good..sharp, clean
 
I was not fit in to these but I did hit them and they are going to be VERY popular I think. First off they are gorgeous in person. And secondly they flat out perform. I gotta imagine this segment of golfers will gravitate towards these and even a few not necessarily in this segment as well as they are just that good

Man, they straight up nailed the badging on these and it sounds like they have the performance back it up

It definitely altered feel. And I say that in a good way. There is a more dense and full feeling and sound at impact.
 
One of my main regrets was not at least hitting these on the range at ECPC. The guys who were fit into them cannot stop raving about them.

On initial impressions, I even think I prefer the look, and look at setup over the Ai200/300 lines.
I was pretty skeptical of the whole Ai marketing scheme a couple years ago, but changed my mind quick with the OG paradym. Continuing improve on the process and trickle down to all these other lines is pretty impressive.
They are packing a ton of tech into a good looking package at a pretty stunning price point.

Wow, that looks quite compact for a GI head. :oops:

There is a difference in footprint between the various different lines but the standard model is on the smaller side.

Yeah that regular Elyte head is pretty darn compact. They did a nice job here with shaping. Even the HL looks good and TBH, the X isn’t anything crazy to my eye. Yes it’s larger in every aspect, it’s meant to be.
 
Oh wow. These look clean!!!
 
These are clean looking and these will get a try in my iron search.

Stock shaft offerings per the article seem pretty light which is interesting.

The standard does not look big at all. That is an impressive looking iron.
 
Nice write up @ddec
Really "Premium Looking" set of irons here...

I don't have a side by side comparison, but going from memory they are on par with the AI200 in terms of footprint (standard head that is) and the X reminds me of the AI300 from a size perspective.

During my iron fitting I hit the 200's, 300's, Elyte and Elyte X and came away with far better numbers and strikes with the standard Elytes.

Definitely gonna be interesting to hear reviews of these coming off AI Smokes last year. These definitely have a Tour look to them.

Well what do ya know, I will have just that.
 
Great write up @ddec can’t wait to read more and watch video reviews. Have the ai200 but also smokes might be testing back the smoke line.
 
Forgot to mention that there are 4 of us in these:
- @JB @Dougie and myself in the Standard heads
- our MVP @Joshnoble01 in the X (he's on the left coast and not awake yet :ROFLMAO: )
 
This is a good looking set of irons. Styling is a home run. I am looking forward to hearing more on these.
