Features & Benefits
Ai 10x FACE that flies straight no matter where you hit itThe
new “ELYTE” fairway wood is also equipped with Ai 10x FACE, just like the driver. By improving the capabilities of the software, it is now possible to scan the AI face design down to the finest details, and the number of control points (places on the face that correct for the optimal trajectory) has been greatly increased. It is more powerful than the previous model against the deviation of the impact point, which is one of the major mistakes with fairway woods, and you can carry the ball farther and to a narrower landing range no matter where you hit it on the face.
Tungsten Speed Wave that does not inhibit the bending of the lower part
The toe-heel direction of the lower front part of the sole is equipped with a weight called Tungsten Speed Wave, which is characterized by a different installation method from conventional weights. Conventional weights were attached to the inside and outside of the sole by welding or screwing, but while this method achieved the effect of a low and shallow center of gravity, it also had the drawback of inhibiting the bending from the lower part of the face to the front of the sole. The Tungsten Speed Wave is fixed with a screw at a position away from the face surface inside the face, while the part extending to the toe and heel near the face surface is designed to be slightly floating from the inside of the sole. This allows the lower part of the face to bend firmly even at impacts close to the top, allowing the ball to be launched high and far.
Step sole design to reduce unnecessary bounce
The sole design has also been redesigned. It adopts a style with a step in the middle, which was also seen in the 2022 APEX UW, and is called the step sole design. The rear part is slightly higher and floats, reducing the area of the sole that comes into contact with the ground by 57%. This reduces unnecessary bounce of the sole at impact and improves the head release, greatly suppressing mishits on the lower part of the face. At the same time, the design of the front of the sole takes into consideration the instability of the head’s seating due to the rear of the sole floating. It is designed to prevent the face from opening when set on the ground.
A small pear-shaped head with a screw weight on the sole.
Of the five models in the series, the “ELYTE ♦♦♦ Fairway Wood” is the type aimed at highly skilled players such as professionals and advanced players. The head is more compact than the ELYTE Fairway Wood, and has a pear shape that protrudes more from the toe at the rear of the head to the center. It is a form that looks very easy to control. The weight is not only the aforementioned tungsten speed wave, but also a screw weight of about 5g is installed in the front of the sole. The lower and shallower center of gravity makes the head easier to operate, and also enables high ball speeds and strong trajectories with low spin.
Ai 10x FACE
The control points on the face have been increased by 10 times, providing more control over the impact point than the previous model.
No matter where you hit the ball on the face, it will go farther and land in a narrower range.
Tungsten Speed Wave
The weight is mounted slightly above the inside of the sole.
This causes the lower part of the face to flex, allowing the ball to be launched higher and further even when hit close to the top.
This makes it easier to mold and allows for greater precision in manufacturing.
Step Sole Design
The contact area with the ground has been reduced by 57%, which reduces unnecessary rebound and improves head release, reducing mis-hits on the lower part of the face.
