Sstarted playing in 1994 Howson Arena (kids set) Titleist DCI black triangle TopFlite Tour (S300) Srixon Pro-100 (5.5 rifle) Mizuno Mp68 (KBS stiff) Mizuno Mp4 (KBS X)

The worst dispersion of the 3 by far was the new Ping G, followed by the Epic. The best was the G10 but not by much.... Distance is obviously not everything so I need to be sure I can dial the new Epic in before I pull the plug on over £400!!! :eek: I'm gaming it over 18 holes tomorrow so we...

No, only tried the Fujikura Pro Green 62 in X flex and from what my pro recommended and what you guys on the forum have mentioned the 1890 RPM spin I was getting was about right. Do any of you think trying a different shaft would gain me (I can't believe I am going to say this) even more than 16...

Just watched the Callaway Epic Vs Nike Vapour Mark Crossfield video you mentioned above and it speaks for itself. He has consistent gains of over 10 yards. I still can't help thinking that the G10 that I have gamed for the last 8 years or so was probably not actually the right club (setup) for...

I couldn't agree more Ken. I just can't imagine getting on the course tomorrow and suddenly having an extra 16 yards of carry!!! The proof will be in the pudding though, I'm borrowing the exact same club and 60g shaft that gained me those 16 extra yards out on the course tomorrow so we will...

Amazing!!!

Thanks for the information. I'm based in St.Albans so not far away from Moor Park. I will give them a call to see what X shafts they have in stock before placing my order.

That is the million dollar question "will it go straight". I will find out tomorrow when I play a round with it.

With the stock X shaft that I tried i was only getting the 1890 spin which according to my pro is about right. How much lower spin would the Hzrdus Black be and would it go further. No, not tried the M1 as he does not stock Taylor Made. Where could I try them both side by side? Callaway Epic...

Nope, i'm old school. ;) Absolutely no interest in becoming a professional. I have a good job so what is the point?? - I might have a go on the seniors tour about 20 years time. Ha ha.

No, I have never been on a swing monitor before and I just can't quite believe that a club can give you an extra 16 yards and not be illegal. I think I will book a proper session with Callaway direct and try all the shafts out. I need X shafts and he only had two in stock.

Fair play, My name is James and I play at two golf courses in St.Albans, herts. My handicap is +1.5 and now have a new found fondness of the Callaway Epic. :rofl:

I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to stats and figures etc. So from what I can make out it is a balancing act between spin and distance. The more spin the less distance but less spin has less control. Is that about right?? What would be the perfect spin rate?

my opinion, I find all their gear a bit odd and quirky and to be honest cheap looking. I use Mizuno MP-4's and a G10 driver so I am a bit of a traditionalist at heart. But stats don't lie. I am truly amazed - 16 yards most carry. Read more at...

I tried the G LS TeC last year and it went too low. I just could not control it. To be fair I have not tried the Callaway on the course which is the acid test of any driver. So will keep you updated on how it goes this Saturday. I tested it with the - Fujikura X-Stiff 67
