WITB: With a new Callaway driver, proven iron setup, and distinctive putter, Nacho Elvira clinched 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 win with a first-time equipment setup in his bag.
Breakthrough with the New Callaway Quantum Driver
Elvira achieved his first win of the year and debuted the new Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max Driver with 7.5 degrees of loft and a Graphite Design Tour AD TX shaft. The 38-year-old Spaniard immediately put the new Quantum driver to the test and it proved successful in its first public use.
Consistency on the Fairway
On the fairway, Elvira relies on the Callaway Parady Ai Smoke Max fairway wood, set at 14 degrees with a Fujikura Ventus TR Red shaft. This setup has remained unchanged for two years. His bag also features the Callaway Apex UW 25 with the same Graphite Design Tour AD TX shaft, bridging the transition from wood to iron.
Utility and Compact Iron Setup
Elvira’s bag includes the reliable Callaway X Forged UT CF18 Utility iron with 24 degrees loft from 2018, paired with a Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei AV Raw White 90 HY TX shaft, the same combination used in his previous wins. His traditional iron set begins with a Callaway Apex TCB 5-iron followed by Callaway Apex MB irons from 6 to 9, all equipped with KBS $-Taper X shafts, a constant in his setup for years.
His wedge setup includes four Titleist Vokey wedges: a 44° Vokey Wedgeworks, SM10 50° and 54°, and a Vokey Wedgeworks Proto 58°. While the three lower-loft wedges use KBS $-Taper X shafts, the 58° wedge features a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft.
WITB: Success with the Putter
The standout club in Elvira’s bag is the Odyssey Ai-One Jailbird Mini 1/2 Ball Prototype putter, featuring distinctive alignment aids with a black line, white semicircle on the crown, and a two-tone face. Having recently switched to this model, Elvira led the putting statistics on critical days, making the putter a key to his victory.
