Evidence ledger
Where the information on this page came from, when it was read, and how firmly it is established.
- Evidence: Researched
Callaway publishes the Elyte driver lofts, head size, standard length, 13g movable weight, stock shaft and price, and rates it Mid-High launch and Low spin in its Elyte comparison chart.
Read from the maker’s page as displayed when we checked. Callaway’s drivers page lists the Elyte alongside the Quantum drivers and does not label it a previous model; the Elyte page showed it new at $399.99 with a “Sale” label.
