Is the Elyte Max Fast worth it at $159?

At $159 at Distritech as of November 3, it is a strong value for a current adjustable Callaway driver. It suits slower swing speeds best, so faster players should look at a stiffer flex.

Who should buy the Max Fast instead of the standard Elyte?

The Max Fast is for slower swing speeds that need a lighter shaft, higher launch and draw bias. The standard Elyte suits faster swings wanting a more neutral flight.

What shaft flex and weight does it have?

It comes with a 40-gram lightweight graphite shaft in R2 light flex at 45.75 inches. That setup is built for moderate swing speeds.

Can I adjust the loft?

Yes. The head is adjustable across a +/- 3-degree range around the 10.5-degree stock loft, so you can tune launch and trajectory.

The driver, a headcover and the grip are included. The shaft is installed.

Prices on this model have been falling as it ages, and $159 at Distritech as of November 3 is near the low end of its recent range. Watch for further markdowns around major sales.
