WITB: Using a new Callaway driver, trusted irons, and a standout putter, Nacho Elvira secured his third DP World Tour title at the Dubai Invitational.
Against a strong field, Nacho Elvira kept his composure at the Dubai Invitational. He celebrated his third DP World Tour victory with a first-ever addition in his bag.
Breakthrough with the New Callaway Quantum Driver
This was Elvira’s first win of the year and his debut tournament with the new Callaway Quantum Driver. The 38-year-old Spaniard used the brand-new Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max Driver with 7.5 degrees loft and a Graphite Design Tour AD TX shaft. The new Quantum driver proved its worth right in its first public outing.
Consistency on the Fairway
On the fairway, Elvira trusts the Callaway Parady Ai Smoke Max fairway wood. Set at 14 degrees and equipped with a Fujikura Ventus TR Red shaft, this setup has remained unchanged for two years. His bag also includes the Callaway Apex UW 25 utility club with a Graphite Design Tour AD TX shaft, bridging the gap between woods and irons.
Utility and a Compact Iron Setup
A staple in Elvira’s bag is the Callaway X Forged UT CF18 utility iron with 24 degrees loft. Although from 2018, it has proven a reliable choice. He plays it with a Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei AV Raw White 90 HY TX shaft, the same combination he has used in previous wins.
Due to this head-heavy setup, his traditional iron set starts at the 5-iron. Elvira plays a Callaway Apex TCB 5-iron combined with Callaway Apex MB irons from 6 to 9. All irons are equipped with KBS $-Taper X shafts, a constant in his setup for years.
For wedges, the Spaniard favors precision and variety. His four-wedge setup includes a Titleist Vokey Wedgeworks 44°, Vokey SM10 50° and 54°, and a Vokey Wedgeworks Proto 58°. While the lower lofts use KBS $-Taper X shafts, the 58-degree wedge features a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft.
WITB: The Putter That Sealed the Win
Perhaps the most eye-catching club in Elvira’s bag is the Odyssey Ai-One Jailbird Mini 1/2 Ball Prototype putter. It features a distinctive alignment aid with a black line
