I can't remember a main line release that has gotten this amount of discussion. Certainly nothing outside of Callaway

Elyte 2.0 coming to your bag? Maybe as simple as that or a totally new name, but likely even better (but how?).
The amount of attention you've brought to the Elytes is incredible. If the next release is any type of improvement, holy crap it could be huge brother.

I think so too, and even towards the end of my season fun to see people enjoying them out of my bag that aren't as in the main stream of releases.

They still sit in my main Cargo bag ready to get out again some day.
Can't wait to see what the guy's bring to us this year.
You guys definitely did... my bag is living proof. Now it's our turn Cap.

With following the GD this year and seeing some fellas grab the AI150's it kinda made me smile two fold. One, I splurged and grabbed a set of those as well. Two, it's going to be tough to beat out these Elyte Core's in my bag. The profile difference is minimal between the two and that surprised me a lot! With them actually being in a different category profile to me, they have very similar looks. The forgiveness in these Elyte's have the advantage and still have the number one spot in my bag. I know they will put up a fight next year and looking forward to confirming that thought!
My initial and continued thoughts on these over the past year still hold true. Feel sorry for those that didn't give these a try...they are missing out!

It's funny... I've been hyping the Elyte X (warranted) this past season and now I am in the New-New. My oldest keeps coming in my home office where my clubs are and grabbing one of the Elyte irons for dry swings. I think he might be very happy as I will certainly let him hit the X this upcoming season. They are not on here but THP has been so good to me that it has indirectly been so good to my kids.
Has he asked yet? Has there been a “Hey Pops, since you got the new new, whatcha think about me taking the old ones for a spin in the sim?”
I am thinking I need to get a 3i and they don't make an Elyte 3i.
Per Callaway, the Elyte core 4i is 19°. I guess it will be the Apex 24 UI but it is 18° which is not much different. I wonder what difference I would see in distance from 1° and a 1/2" increase in length?

He saw the New-New and just commented how nice they were. Glad I got them and stuff. Then he just swings the Elyte X.
Obviously he can play them next season if he wants. At this point they know they don't have to ask... If I'm not playing something they are fair game to anyone else.
I have about two weeks worth of family stuff going on and then hope to be able to get into the sim to get some swings in with these. I got them all cleaned up and shined up and they have no where to go. Still the best decision of the year…trusting Gerritt and going with these.
Missing these. I didn’t pick them up until late summer and then with my surgery I only got a handful of rounds in but I instantly fell in love. Very forgiving and easy to launch. I had seen my previous ball flight drop down some with the Ai 200s. With the Elyte’s it was back up where I prefer it. I’m not a high spin player so I rely on the higher ball flight to hold greens and these provided that again. I don’t usually do the sim thing but I might have to make an exception this winter as I haven’t played in quite some time and spring isn’t coming anytime soon
I'm here again because Callaway lost my Elyte HL set that I sent in for repair.
They discontinued the HL's but they offered to replace my set with the Elyte or Elyte X, I went regular Elyte.
KBS PGI 90 shafts incoming. Excited to try those out.
Good on customer service as well. Fair compensation.

Sucks they lost em and discontinued the making of them- but happy to hear they replaced with another set (didn’t think they wouldn’t make it right but)
Have to let us know whatcha think!
Curious how you get along with the Elytes versus the HLs.
I’ll recap here when they arrive!
Since you had the HL, I will ask, did you get fit for them or just know you needed a higher launch?
I have the core Elyte irons and hit them plenty high and I have never been a high ball hitter.

Going to try to book some sim time this weekend to knock the dust off of these. After the holiday and the events of this past week I need something to get my mind off things.
I am interested in what is coming, but the Elyte’s have been fantastic for me.
The feel, sound and look were an upgrade over my Ai-Smoke set.
We have a new place in town that I think is open now. Going to get over there as well sometime soon and check it out. It’s been several months since I’ve swung a club and I’m jonesing to hit these
Did not get fit. Always been a low hitter so just assumed. (Probably should just get fitted for real tbh).
Found something in my swing recently, was able to hit the HL 8 iron peak height around 30 yards on pure strikes, not ballooning by any means,, spin is within range but enjoying the distance.
Will be curious to see if the Elyte core irons go any higher / farther.
It's going to take something really special for me to move away from them this year. I will try to unseat them with some of the various releases, but I just don't know that I've had anything feels as comfortable, or give me as much confidence as I saw in these this year. Err well last year, you know what I mean haha.
I said that about my Ai-smoke set. There was absolutely nothing wrong with them. Trade-in deals that Callaway offer are sometimes too good to pass up.
My goal this year is to get better. That will surely mean lessons but if it also means equipment, I will roll with it as far as my budget allows.
As of now, I agree that it is hard to imagine something better for my game than the Elyte irons.
Elyte’s with Recoil Darts create some magical feelings when you center the ball.
It's an intoxicating feeling.
