It’s been a busy day in the golf equipment world, as new drivers from Callaway, Cobra, Srixon and Ping all hit the USGA conforming list today. (We already covered the Srixon spotting here: Spotted: Srixon ZXi fairway woods and hybrids)
Earlier today, GolfWRX reported on the new additions from Ping. Now, lets take a look at the offerings from Callaway and Cobra.
Callaway
The four new additions from Callaway come with the name ‘Elyte’ – Elyte Triple Diamond, Elyte Max Fast, Elyte, and Elyte X. All of the drivers feature both right- and left-handed versions but Callaway has thus far shared no more details. Per the USGA’s conforming list, here’s what we do know:
- All four feature ‘Ai 10x Face
- Elyte features three weight ports in the rear perimeter (draw, fade and neutral settings)
- Max Fast, Triple Diamond and Elyte X feature two (front and rear on the TD, neutral and draw on the Max Fast and X).

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

I confess i missed the reference to the revered founder of Callaway Golf, the great and wise Ely. Kudos to those that remembered him in the clever Elyte name.
