New Callaway BB Epic

[USER1999]

I am interested, but...

If the coeffeficient of restitution of the face is limited, as in how fast can the ball come off the face for a given impact speed, then if the two linkages do anything to increase this, the face effect would have to be reduced to compensate.

It won't make any difference. It can't.

I like new things though.

I watched the Rick Shiels review earlier, he likes it. In fact, he hit 4 dead straight drives with it.

However, for almost £500, I think not.

Looking forward to the yearly Callaway Kings of Distance where we might have a chance to try it out.

I have never seen him review a club where he is not purring.

And the Rick Shiels Sub Epic which is fair to say he loves even more than his initial Epic review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZZFCz0j1HY&t=106s

Can't watch his reviews. He just hit's things and says "Wow"

It is a nice looking club, but then i used to like the xtreme too. That said, what ever shaft Crossfield was using was clearly the stock option, with the matching paint job. It will look more messy with a different shaft in it.

On a similar note, my Nike vapor fly, in photo blue and volt looked bad enough with the stock blue and black Tensei, but now i have my gold and red Oban, with red grip it looks worse. My friends refer to it as 12 year old Megans colouring project. I have no idea who Megan is.

Timmy Mallett wannabe........:thup:

Too consistent for my liking

I like Joel's review. Gonna watch the RS review now.

The drivers look nice. Let's face it, if your in the market for a new big dog and you have the dosh to spend, go try them all (TM, 917, Epic etc etc), love every minute of it and get the best one.....

If it's arrow straight and gives me another 30 yds...i'm in

8* Launch angle?

Too consistent for my liking

Just in case it was misleading, they aren't my stats. I don't hit the ball that hard!

I'm beginning to think I'm the only person to think the Nike blue drivers look good

Yes I knew they were not yours Gaz not far enough

Yes, got that

I still wonder how they come to get a launch angle of 8*. With a 10* Driver that's a downward strike.

I'd hazard a guess that most hit down with the driver.

I seem to remember the average on the PGA tour is something like 1.5° down.

Well, you learn something everyday in this game.

Funny that they find the term used to describe cracking software on a smart phone suitable for summarising it's newest technology.

 

[Dasit]

Didn't they just release the big bertha fusion?


I mean do people seriously buy this stuff. Callaway seem like they are taking the piss amount of product lines they bring out. This epic driver will be old tech by end of this season.

Proper fugly driver. I am sure it hits the ball as well as any other. Looks wise it does nothing for me.
