下集開始。

也就是不同方式的回饋，各有樂趣。但我個人偏向Ai Smoke的桿面擊球擠壓感。桿身打起來也非常順暢，並沒有感受到桿身受力折點，應該桿身材質強度把折點給模糊化。就是和其他高強度桿身那種順暢擊球，不需要特別去等桿身反彈，就照你平時如何打球的方式和節奏去打，桿身都能跟得上，非常簡單的桿子。

說到擊球的彈道和啟發角，Elyte是9度，Ai Smoke也是9度，打起來的啟發角都差不多，球都是一開始低，然後衝高到天空。而Ai Smoke的桿身是以前Matrix做給擊遠賽的Grandura，我用590 55G R硬度。這個桿身應該算60g等級，因為重量就60g。它好處就是低倒旋和低彈道，配置在Ai Smoke就是低彈道穿透。而Elyte是中彈道，飛的比Ai Smoke稍高。

滾動性，因為目前打都在春天的早上，所以早上露水重，飛行落下的滾動距離都不遠，約20碼內，一個落地彈跳就停。所以沒有Ai Smoke Grandura 590那樣能滾。距離會差10～15碼。Elyte的距離在250碼～260碼。如果球道比較乾可以多個10碼滾動，和我其他木桿比其實是差不多，沒有明顯開掛距離，所以我覺得我後面應該還是會用回Ai Smoke，因為我比較喜歡Ai Smoke的外觀和低調塗裝。

而Elyte最大的亮點在容錯，其實如果沒有Ai Smoke來做對照組，它應該是一支很棒的木桿，尤其在容錯上，這也是它的Ai 桿面技術比Ai Smoke更加成熟。不管打在桿面哪個位置，基本不會有很大的側旋。但我本身開球就不容易有大的側旋出來，所以這點雖然是它最大絕招但我個人覺得和Ai Smoke的容錯基本差不多。當然我配置的桿身的強度高，對於側旋壓制力自然比一般零售配置桿身要好。

我應該下半年開始就會用Ai Smoke和Elyte木桿雙木桿下場策略，這樣比較會比較明顯。這幾個月打下來，基本可以下一個結論，日系的木桿是完全看不到美系木桿的車尾燈！BB4我設定的長度、重量和配置桿身等級都和我其他美系木桿差不多，但怎麼打就是沒有美系的穩定，一樣的右旋，BB4就是偏的比較多。所以很多時候，BB4打4、5洞後就換回Elyte。

如果你的木桿不是近5年的產品，Elyte一定會給你驚艷！對於距離、手感、容錯絕對碾壓其他對手，日系小廠的就不用說。花一樣的錢，美系給你裡子和面子，日系會讓你輸到脫褲子。必須說我近5年用下來的木桿，就Callaway和Titleist的產品是真的讓你打的放心，用的安心和看的順心。後面我再把Progress BB4的測評分享。

Each driver gives feedback in a different way, and they’re all fun in their own right. Personally, though, I prefer the compressed feel at impact from the Ai Smoke’s face. The shaft also feels really smooth—there’s no obvious flex point when I swing. I think the material strength blurs out that load point. It’s like those high-module carbon shafts that don’t make you wait for the kick—you just swing the way you normally do, and the shaft keeps up. Super easy to swing!

In terms of ball flight and launch angle, both the Elyte and the Ai Smoke are 9 degrees. The launch is about the same for both—starts low, then climbs high up into the sky. The Ai Smoke is paired with a Grandura shaft originally made by Matrix for long drive contests. I’m using the 590 model in 55g R flex, but it’s basically a 60g-class shaft. The benefit is the low spin and penetrating trajectory. So, on the Ai Smoke, you get a lower, more piercing ball flight. The Elyte flies a bit higher—more of a mid-flight launch.

As for rollout, I’ve mostly been playing in the spring mornings, so there’s a lot of dew on the grass. The ball tends to stop after one bounce—maybe rolls 20 yards at most. So you don’t really get much rollout, especially compared to the Ai Smoke with the Grandura 590 shaft, which rolls out more. You’ll probably lose about 10 to 15 yards in total distance. With the Elyte, I’m getting about 250 to 265 yards. If the fairway’s dry, maybe you can squeeze another 10 yards, but overall the distance is about the same as my other drivers—nothing crazy long. That’s why I’ll likely stick with the Ai Smoke long-term, since I prefer the look and the subtle, low-profile finish.

What really makes the Elyte stand out is its forgiveness. If I didn’t have the Ai Smoke to compare it to, I’d probably say the Elyte is an amazing driver—especially in terms of forgiveness. The Ai face tech on it feels even more refined than on the Ai Smoke. No matter where you hit it on the face, there’s not much side spin. But to be honest, I usually don’t have a big side spin problem to begin with, so even though that’s supposed to be Elyte’s killer feature, I feel it’s pretty much on par with the Ai Smoke in that regard. Of course, I’ve paired mine with a stronger shaft, which naturally helps suppress side spin more than a standard retail setup.

So starting in the second half of the year, I plan to go with a two-driver setup—both the Ai Smoke and Elyte. That’ll make the differences more noticeable. Based on the past few months of playing, I can confidently say that Japanese drivers just can’t keep up with American ones. For example, the BB4 I’ve set up has the same length, weight, and shaft quality as my U.S. drivers, but it just doesn’t feel as stable. The same kind of fade ends up missing wider with the BB4. A lot of times, after 4 or 5 holes, I switch back to the Elyte.

If your driver is more than 5 years old, the Elyte will definitely impress you. Whether it’s distance, feel, or forgiveness—it crushes the competition. No need to even mention smaller Japanese brands. For the same money, U.S. drivers give you both performance and looks. With Japanese ones, you might end up losing your shirt. Honestly, over the past 5 years, Callaway and Titleist are the only brands that have given me complete confidence—solid performance, reliable feel, and sharp aesthetics. I’ll share my full review of the Progress BB4 next.
