Hello all, I am new to the forum but I have been thinking about blogging about golf related topics for a while now and I finally found a great place to do it! I love testing out different clubs and shafts to find my best personal fit. I used to work at a golf superstore in the San Francisco Bay Area and I have had some experience with fittings. I have been playing golf (full-time) for approximately three years and I have loved every second of it. As an ex-baseball player, the golf swing came with natural power but very little control. I have corrected that now and I got my handicap down to single digits. While working at the golf shop, I was able to carefully pick and choose what was in my bag. Right now these are the details. Driver: Srixon Z785 9.5° Hazardous Black Smoke X-stiff 3 Wood: Callaway Epic Flash 15° X-stiff Callaway Epic Pro 3-P KBS Tour Lite X-stiff Cleveland RTX-4 50°, 56° (bent to 55°), and 60° Taylormade Juno with Super Stroke Pistol GT 2.0 grip Feel free to throw any questions my way if you want to talk feel or performance! Thanks!

So I've been testing drivers for the past month and was recently fit into the Epic which was producing some amazing numbers for me. I really like the look and feel of the Epic. I was ready to make the purchase when I unexpectedly came into receiving a brand new JPX 900 driver at no cost. The JPX looks stunning. I managed to hit a demo at a local pga superstore but didn't get a chance to really tweak the settings. I will be heading back to compare side by side to make a final decision on whether to sell JPX and buy Epic or keep Mizuno. I'm just wondering if anyone has hit these two drivers side by side BUT with each drivers setting dialed in to their swings. If so which performed better for you and which did you decide on?

(4) Testers Wanted Callaway GBB Epic Driver This may very well be the big one of the year, fellow GolfSpies. You might even say it's.... Epic! Okay, sorry. This week's test and review opportunity is for one of the driver stories of 2017, the Callaway GBB Epic. We're looking for 4 avid golfers to test and review (and keep) the number one selling driver in the US for the last three consecutive months. We saw the Epic finish in second place, just an eyelash behind the Srixon Z 565 in the MGS Most Wanted Driver Testing last week, so we know the thing is pretty hot. How hot? That's what we want you to tell us. If you'd like to apply to be one of the four Epic testers, here's what you need to do: In this thread (and ONLY in this thread), please tell us.... 1. First name and home state or province 2. Current handicap 3. Current driver and shaft combo 4. Driver swing speed and carry distance 5. Favorite Callaway Staffer We'll announce the 4 testers in this thread next week. Good luck to all!!!
