We had a Mizuno demo day at our club a couple of weeks back. I tried the 190 and got good numbers with it. I got fit into a Tensei Orange shaft. It came in last week and I've been able to hit it at the range a couple of times. I like that I can hit it hard without worrying about it hooking.

Pick the prettiest and go with them.
You could go with any of them and be fine. The two shafts I get fit into most often are the C-Tapers and the KBS Tour V, so they must be close.
Seriously, pick the clubs that you think will give you the most confidence and go play them. Hitting your choices outside at a demo day would let you see what the ball flight actually looks like.

We have one in town that is a fun little course that is lit. It is great fun to go out there for a quick 9, but they have really let it go down hill over the last 5 years and its become a bit of a dog track.
I would like to buy it and replace the grass greens with high quality artificial turf and the same for the tee boxes. I think that would cut the maintenance cost considerably and the condition will always be great.

Callaway makes their Chrome Soft and ERC in their plant in Chikopee MA...I don't know where the rest of their balls are made. Years back when I quit playing Titleist, I looked for a US made ball. Callway was made in the USA so I gave them a try...been with them ever since.

I am always concerned about getting fake shafts from places I don't know...like Ebay. I have found Callaway Pre Owned to be a great place to get shafts....especially when they're running a sale of 30-40% off.

Walking is good for the soul...it lets you experience golf instead of rushing to play shots...I walk when I can and always play better.

I like the looks of them...and they offer two of them in LH! I gamed MP-53 for years. When it was time to replace them earlier this year I looked longingly at the MP18s...but I wanted to split my set and the MP18s were only available in the SC in LH. I might look at the 919s since I can split the set.

I tried it knowing you can not get an actual fitting from an online tool. I liked it so much I did it two more times trying to bracket my actual swing with info on either side of it.
Is this thing going to give you the same result that you would get from a half day at one of the 100 Top Fitters? No...but then it only costs $7.
Does it take into account shaft flex? No...but it costs $7.
I see this as an excellent tool to narrow down some really great choices before I go git fit or try some on my own. It would also be a heck of a lot better than going to the store and picking brand X because I like the color.
It's a tool...not the end-all-be-all.

I played the regular Epic last year and loved it. Increase in accuracy and distance over my last driver. I switched to the Epic SZ earlier this year and got more consistently longer drives...not by much but enough to notice.
I happen to be in the golf store when the Callaway rep was showing the Rogue to the owners. I got to hit it and was a good 12-15 yards longer than with my Epic. But at $500 I just couldn't stomach ditching the Epic which was $500 last year.
Now that the Rogue's are hitting the used market, I might look for an SZ, but we'll see. I like to go at least three generations before I 'upgrade'.

I like a higher spinning ball...doesn't matter if it is wet or dry. The only time I don't really like the spin is hitting into the wind when it balloons on me.
