The 2025 Callaway Elyte Fairway Wood is engineered for golfers who demand total performance — combining high launch, low spin, and exceptional ball speed from a refined, fast-profile head. Designed for handicaps ranging from scratch to 20, the Elyte 5W (18°) delivers a consistent, neutral ball flight that rewards a wide range of swing styles. This is a demo/used fairway wood in excellent used condition (8/10), offering top-tier 2025 Callaway technology at a reduced price. Fitted with the lightweight Mitsubishi Vanquish 50 in R2 (light) flex, it is an ideal match for moderate swing speeds seeking maximum launch and distance.
A 35-gram tungsten weight is floated low and forward inside the clubhead without constraining face flex. This pushes the centre of gravity (CG) to where it matters most — creating faster ball speeds in the low-face impact zone where golfers most commonly miss, while maintaining high MOI for forgiveness across the full face.
Inspired by the tour-proven Callaway Apex Utility Wood, the Step Sole positions the club's CG below the ball's CG at impact. With 57% less ground contact than the previous generation, turf drag is dramatically reduced — resulting in higher launch, lower spin, and more solid, centered strikes, even when the swing bottoms out early.
Callaway's artificial intelligence design engine generated a face geometry with 10 times more control points than the Ai Smoke predecessor. The result is a face that is precisely contoured at every millimetre to maximise ball speed across a larger area, tighten shot dispersion, and optimise launch for each point of impact.
The Vanquish PL 50 shaft pairs a 50-gram lightweight graphite construction with Amorphous Wire Technology in the butt section — increasing shaft elasticity and clubhead acceleration at impact. The R2 (light/senior) flex is specifically tuned for moderate swing speeds, promoting a higher launch and maximising distance for players with driver speeds below ~90 mph.
