Callaway Quantum vs Callaway Elyte - is it worth upgrading?

It's always a noteworthy day when Callaway releases new drivers. As one of the elite manufacturers in the game, everything they produce grabs attention, but occasionally there is something extra special to catch your eye.

You may remember that 12 months ago, it was the Elyte driver that dominated headlines, but one year on, the new Quantum has sought to take everything to another level and offer a significant (quantum) leap in terms of performance.

Golfshake's Equipment Expert, Ryan Rastall had the Elyte Triple Diamond in his bag last season, so he's an ideal person to ask if you're keen to see whether the new Quantum is a genuine step up.

If you want to know more about the Quantum family, then we recommend that you check out Ryan's new review and watch his direct comparison with another early standout of 2026, the TaylorMade Qi4D.

Is Callaway's New Quantum Driver Worth Buying?

But seeing if Callaway has truly delivered an improvement on what they offered in 2025 feels like an even more fitting test to undertake.

Specifically, Ryan has compared the Quantum Max and Quantum Triple Diamond against his previously favoured Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond, to discover what has changed and which one delivers the best performance on Trackman analysis.

Watch our new video below to see how the drivers measure up against each other for clubhead speed, ball speed, launch, spin, carry distance and overall yardage, while Ryan also shares his feedback on the contrasting look and feel of these clubs.
