OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - CALLAWAY GBB EPIC DRIVER

[HWaz]

Thanks for the thoroughly detailed reviews!

 

The Epic is a beast of a driver. Being a longtime Taylormade stalwart, I gave this a try next to the new M2 on a launch monitor. Epic performed consistently better for both length and dispersion. I am happy to say it is in the bag and hitting bombs.

So I finally got this in and got to play with it some this weekend.  Saturday morning.  First drive of the round was on a 375 yard uphill par 4.  After the tee shot, only had about 75 yards to the green and I was dead center in the middle.  Had a few missed shots throughout that round, but took it to the range as soon as the round was over with and did a little more fine tuning.  I hit about 10-12 in a row on the range once I got the settings right that all carried about 275-280 and all landed no more than 15 yards right or left from where I was aiming.  I can definitely work with that.  I went back out yesterday to play with it some more, and it didn't let me down.  Only missed one fairway (and that was just by a couple of yards) and had less club than I normally do going into the greens. On one par 5 that I normally have driver/6 or 5 iron into the green, I had a driver/8 iron in yesterday.  I'm definitely glad I made that purchase.  Hopefully I can win enough from my group over the next few weeks to get my money back from it.

I was playing in an indoor league over the winter and I noticed that the Rouge was lower spinning than my Epic Sub zero gamer. Is that due to my inconsistent strike or is the Rouge really lower spinning?

Had to be a strike thing because the standard rogue is not going to spin less than the epic sub zero with similar strike and delivery

I just did a mini fitting this past Friday wondering the same thing and I found the Rogue to be about 3-400 RPMs less than the Epic (avg 2400 vs 2700) and I the guy at the shop said that's been the story. The G400 LST was still the winner for me though at around 2100 that same night.

Completely random review here, but I did a driver fitting in March of this year at Club Champion and my Epic SZ, which I purchased in 2/17, was on average 3-4 yards less than everything else. I was fitted for my driver when I got it.

 

Kind of amazing all things considered. 3-4 yards is not worth $500+ for a new driver plus fitting.
