cycle after cycle, the big OEM's keep churning them out!

Thoughts? Would you game this new driver or stick with the old faithful?

That's the Max LS which is replacing the sub zero from what I understand. There is also an Epic speed coming which is a little smaller.

interesting that Callaway went back to the well with the EPIC line...and it appears to have 4 JB techs in the head now.  

I'm not overly a fan of the driver itself, at least the older ones.  I never got the performance out of them that I'd have hoped for.  BUT for some people I reckon this will be a day one purchase as soon as it hits the shelves.

interesting, the max version is now a new standard. 

I found that quite interesting too.  However, keep in mind these are the pictures that people have captured.  They very well may come out with the full line from day one and the Max may not be the new standard as far as they are concerned release wise.  None the less, interesting that they done away with the Mavrick color scheme and back to the EPIC line.  I'll be interested to see what testing results reveal.  I'm fairly confident there wont be much in it outside of them taking another $500 from a lot of people.

Make sense they are on a rotating cycle epic/epic flash then mavrik/rogue with a new line up every year, so Epic was due to come back this year. More traditional epic colors for them, which look solid to me. Will be interesting to see the full line up at launch.

I don't think we will see much improvement with this line of drivers or new drivers from any company. We may see some changing playing characteristics but I doubt we see much improvement if any. Until the USGA changes the rules, gains will be minimal/non-existent. The best thing we can do is get properly fit and then check to see if there is a better fit every few years.

This is what people fail to follow. Epic is one group, Mavrik/Rogue/etc are another group. It’s not just one big extensive line.

100% agree.  I'd argue we've seen that for a few years now.   They've reached a point where there really isn't any huge "gains" with the new offerings.  Just different playability characteristics.
