Described as the future of speed, with exceptional new technologies to deliver fast ball speeds for every type of player, Callaway has officially launched their next generation of Epic Drivers and Fairway Woods for 2021.
Callaway says that their new A.I.-designed Jailbreak Speed Frame is the key to improved and exceptional ball speeds of the three new models available – Epic Speed, Epic MAX, and Epic MAX LS,
Previous Jailbreak architectures stiffened the body in the vertical direction. By applying Artificial Intelligence, Callaway says this new structure improves stability in the horizontal and torsional direction as well with exceptional ball speeds across the face the result.
The A.I.-designed Flash Face is specifically engineered to optimise the Jailbreak Speed Frame, promoting fast speeds across a more expansive area. Each face and each head geometry are uniquely enhanced in Epic Speed, and the super-strength titanium promotes maximum speed, forgiveness and spin robustness.
Epic Speed is said to be the fastest Epic driver ever and will appeal to a wide range of golfers. The advanced aerodynamic head construction promotes lower drag for higher head speed. The taller ribbon and flatter crown are engineered for a precise and more aerodynamic shape that can help golfers generate more speed from their swing.
Increased forgiveness in Epic Speed comes from an advanced composite design. The proprietary Triaxial carbon covers a larger portion of the crown and toe, leading to weight savings of over 16 grams vs. a titanium crown. Their engineers have redistributed that saved weight to enhance forgiveness versus previous Callaway Mavrik designs.
Epic Max is ideal for golfers who want to hit the ball longer and straighter. Callaway says it’s built on a simple equation: max ball speed (with the new Jailbreak A.I Speed Frame) + maximum forgiveness (with high MOI and adjustable weighting) = the ultimate max driver.”
It features a lighter, stronger Triaxial Carbon material that saves over 19 grams of weight vs. titanium. Callaway redistributed that saved weight to promote high launch and more forgiveness. This driver delivers an exceptional combination of a deep CG, draw bias and higher MOI to promote a tighter downrange dispersion that leads to straighter drives. To promote more control, a 17g sliding rear weight provides extensive adjustability to promote the ball flight that golfers want to play. Combined with the OptiFit hosel, the Epic Max provides up to 20 yards of shot shape correction.
Epic Max LS is designed for mid-to-low handicap players who want more speed, neutral ball flight and forgiveness in a lower spin, high MOI package. The proprietary Triaxial carbon covers a larger portion of the crown and toe, and this driver delivers an exceptional combination of a deep CG and higher MOI to promote a tighter downrange dispersion. It’s also the most fade capable driver in the Epic family, and Adjustable Perimeter Weighting provides up to 13 yards of shot shape correction to fine-tune ball flight.
The Epic Speed and Epic MAX Drivers are available in 9*, 10.5* and 12* lofts, and Epic MAX LS is available in 9* and 10.5* loft options.
Epic Speed and Epic MAX Fairway Woods
Exceptional ball speeds start with the Callaway’s new Jailbreak A.I. Velocity Blades on the two new fairway wood models, Epic Speed and Epic MAX
With a stiffened body and using A.I. to design Callaway’s completely new Jailbreak system which spreads and angles the Jailbreak blades, Callaway says the new design allows the forged face cup to flex efficiently.
Every model and every face in our new fairway woods are uniquely designed using advanced A.I. It’s a proven design that puts an even greater emphasis on centre and off-centre ball speeds.
In Epic Speed, high ball speeds and forgiveness come from the high strength C300 Maraging Steel. It provides outstanding strength and flexibility while the Face Cup provides speed and spin consistency across the face. The forward Centre of Gravity (CG) is combined with a new leading-edge to promote a strong ball flight, outstanding spin robustness and consistent shot shape dispersion.Epic MAX delivers enhanced forgiveness from an oversized Max shape. The oversized head combines with a shallow face to make these fairways extremely easy to launch. The launch and spin are tunable using 2 & 14g weights. Golfers can use the heavyweight in the rear for more forgiveness or use the heavyweight in the front for lower launch and spin.
Epic Speed is available in 3+, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 7-wood lofts. Epic MAX is available in 3+, 3-, 5-, Heavenwood, 7-, 9- and 11-wood lofts.
The all-new EPIC Drivers and Fairway Woods will be available via Callaway Authorised Retail stores from February 18, 2021 – from more information visit www.callawaygolf.com.
