I'm just now starting to look into 3 wood replacement.  Anyone compare these with the regular elyte 3 wood?  I've only been able to hit that, but it felt great.  What are the advantages of the ti elyte over the normal elyte?  Probably looking at getting the 3HL. Thanks

 

Now, I haven't tried everything... but this is easily the best 3 wood i've hit in recent years and I am NOT a Callaway guy if that helps any. I know there's not a ton of reviews out there as this had a delayed release, but man this thing is great. Feedback is lovely, loads of forgiveness, sounds cool, flies even better. Still playing my 15° at N+1 so 16°, and not looking for anything else.

I too play mine degree up - it's as long as any 3w i've ever hit; had to dial it back so it fit in the yardage gaps. it's a beast. 

i have mine cut a bit shorter than 3w length and added a touch more weight to the head and it's been amazing. easily underrated and overlooked (for some reason)

Overall size may not be all that different, but face depth definitely is.

Footpring of the standard Elyte, but with a face depth more akin to Elyte TD.

Playing mine at STD with a TR Blue 7X. SW's at about D4 with the stock weights which has been great. I can really smoke it when I choke down a smidge, so maybe a -0.5 would dial it in a little more. But either way, what a beauty.

What shaft do you guys like? Also, are most of you using it for off the tee?  Did anyone compare it with the mini driver? thanks

It's hard to make a recommendation without knowing your current shaft setup, but I tend to use the same shaft in my D -> 3w but go up a weight. Say Ventus TR 6X -> Ventus TR 7X.

 

I'd say it's one of those dual purpose 3 woods. Deep enough to hit off a tee, and shallow enough to launch off the ground without any issues. I don't like the mini driver concept for me and my bag, but this thing goes. I don't find myself wishing it could go farther.

I am playing a 3HL with a Project X Denali Charcoal 70 6.0 flex. I was playing an AI Smoke Mini Driver 13.5 last fall and was having a blast using it. The Elyte TI is almost as long for me, much easier to hit off the deck, and has a lot more neutral ball flight so far. The mini was prone to a hook for me.

I just returned one of these using the Utry program from Global Golf.  I liked the head, it was long, looked/sounded good, and easy to hit off the ground (which is my only use for a three wood).  I did not like the stock Denali Charcoal 70 stiff shaft.  It is way too soft for me and it went left.  For reference, I swing driver at 103 and primarily am a fader of the ball.  I think it would be really good with the right shaft.  Now I have to decide if I want to spend $800 on a three wood I will use 1-2 times per round.

I am seeing the whole suite of Graphite Design shafts on the Ti for no upcharge on second swing......glitch, or special?

Very interesting. I see no up charge either

So the great Callaway UW Trono situation again!

 

I have a Ti with the Aretera or would be all willing to order and see what happens!

Looks like they fixed it.

 

Had a 3HL in the shopping cart with a GC 7x but couldn't pull the trigger as my Elyte Mini is just too good in that slot.

Finally ran into a good deal on a Elyte Ti 3 wood. Can't wait to see how it plays. Decided to go with the standard 15* rather than the HL 16.5* in hopes I can adjust it accordingly to get it in a launch window I prefer. Between the front and back weights and the (+2, -1) hosel I should be able to get a nice high launch/low spin trajectory.

Ordered a Ti Elyte in 16.5 with the Hzrdus Gen 5 Black shaft at -1/2" length. Where to begin?

 

The face is hot, ball speed is high and it's long (for me), really long.

The 16.5 doesn't launch as high as I expected, more like a standard 15 degree from most brands. Spin is not high by any means, especially for a 16.5. This club has a lot of runout on a dry fairway.

 

For me, it's not a club to think I can fly to a green but then agian, I'm not aiming at many greens with a 16.5 fairway in my hands. I would say the face is very forgiving. Toe strikes do not get punished much. They do curve back to the left a bit but not as much as past fairways would have done.

 

Overall, I love the club for distance. If this thing could somehow merge with the Ping G430 for launch and forgiveness, it would be perfect.

Funny because I’m about to place an order for something very similar. 16.5 at 1/2” short. Did they put heavier swing weights in to match the swing weight do you know?

I've had the AI Smoke TD 3 wood for about 5 months. Very solid. How does the Elyte TI compare? How much longer is the TI over the AI Smoke TD? 

[ShortSticks]

Just got mine last night. Had to reshaft right off the bat with a Hzrdus Red 70s that I had from a PING fw. Epoxy is still drying so I have not been able to hit it yet, but first impressions look good. Face depth is perfect for me as I do not like the shallow faces of the modern PINGs. It is swingweighting kinda heavy (D5) at 43" so I have some weights coming to dial that in (2g and 8g to go with the stock 6g and 10g). Can't wait to get it out and hit a bucket!

The Ti 3HL at the standard setting beat out my Smoke TD 3w. For me, the Ti is roughly 10 yds longer & easier to hit off the deck. Surprisingly the Ti 3HL standard setting (16.5) hits the same flight window as the Smoke TD 3w. Same shaft used for both (Ventus Blue+ 7s), just swapped heads.  

 

Still 🙏 Callaway sees value in extending the lineup to include an adjustable Ti 7W

I called Callaway and asked before placing the order. I was told that they build the club to standard swingweight unless specified otherwise. So mine came with heavier weights than what I see on the shelf. It was right on the D2 SW upon arrival.

An adjustable 7W would pair up nicely with the 16.5 that is treating me very well right now!

Maybe you know or not. Would this be a significant upgrade from the rouge st ls? Maybe @bcflyguy1 would know?

Can't say...I went from an Epic Flash SZ 3w which I thought was good, to a Smoke TD 3w which I thought was better, to the Ti that beats the Smoke.

I went Epic flash SZ 3w, to OG super hybrid t Rouge ST LS and the ST LS beat out the SZ by far. I presume a maybe then?

Yes a definite maybe...lol

[DooZ]

The other bonus with the TI is the 2 weight ports. I play all my FW's short, so it's nice for adjusting swingweight, etc.

If the question is a 7W coming for Elyte Ti, the answer would be not to my knowledge. I'd be surprised if there aren't more Ti FW's offered in the future though, given how good this one turned out to be. So, maybe in future lines? Let's go with "definite maybe."

I was actually asking in terms of Rouge ST LS 3HL vs the Elyte Ti 3HL. I like the Rouge but could use a little more distance out of it.

What I can offer is this:

In testing before putting it in play, I saw ball speed from a 15* Elyte Ti that gave practically nothing away to what I saw from the 13.5* Elyte Mini that I played the latter half of '24. Make of that whatever you will.
