I hit the Epic...and I liked it


4Left

Recommended Posts

Had the chance to take some swings with the new M1, Epic, and the Epic subzero today. None of these were fitted or adjusted in any way, I was just excited to get my hands on them and had no time to mess around with loft and weight position.

 

Tried the M1 first and I was seeing better numbers than my gamer (R1) and it felt pretty good.

 

Next up was the subzero...It felt good. I saw a tighter dispersion, lower spin, and longer distance. I had 3 shots carry in the 250 range, 280 total and one settled on the line. (Grain of salt for retail LM's of course) The rest were well above my averages and would have found a fairway. I also tend to lose shots left and it seems to have a bit of a fade bias which was helping me as well. It had a wonderful feel at impact that felt like you got it even when you only sort of got it.

 

Finally I hit the Epic. I was seeing better results than with my current gamer and the M1 but I found it wasn't doing me any favors with my left miss.

 

I also tried the F7 and 917 while I was out and they were all great sticks, but the Epic was a stand out for me.

 

If you have a driver as old as mine (4 years now) and are looking to upgrade, give this one a go. It's called the Epic, you have to.

I've been popping in to my golf fitter pretty much every day to see if they've got the demo EPIC heads in yet. I think they are getting sick of me asking. :)

I might get interested in an Epic later this year after the price has dropped by a third. Or... wait till next year when Callaway discovers they've found some other "revolutionary" trick (double jailbreak?) and the Epic is 1/2 price and doesn't fly 6 inches further like the newest model.

I like that it make last years tech 1/2 the price and the used market gets flooded with clubs from people that want latest and greatest giving me lots of shaft and head options. I'll just have to play from 2 yards behind you

While it makes for a great sound bite, the price cuts aren't that quick or dramatic.

I agree. It is inevitably going to drop in price and I am going to hold out until then. But after trying it up against other new models and having checked out some of last year's gear like the Big Bertha and the Cobra F6+ which have gone down by 30-40%, it will be worth the wait.

I wonder what name Callaway will come up with that is beyond Epic for the next greatest driver.  What tops Epic?  Maybe we should have a contest.

The up to 11 series. Most drivers on the market today only go 100% as far as one can hit it but where do you go from there? These ones go to 110%.

Dicks had it listed as $799 in their weekly flyer this week.

 

My bad the $799 was for irons next to the Epic, listed as $499.

You have the answer in your reply. The Beyond Epic.

 

I got to hit the Epic 3W and boy is that an easy stick to swing, and longg. I'll still be looking at the BBA816 assuming the price will drop a smidge this year. Not swinging the Krank as well as I would like to be.

Exactly what I was going for. I get the whole naming branding thing...I really do - But I'd love it if we could move past all of the hyperbolic, over the top, over-caffeinated and in your face stuff - So instead of Callaway Epic - What about Callaway Driver C1.
