How To Change Epic Games Download Speed
Maren Ruminski
For all of you guys gaming the epic speed, have you found the standard 5gm weight to be optimal or have you found a different combination that works? I usually prefer a D4 swing weight although can go a little heavier if the weight is more towards the head. 60gm hzrdus im10 shaft currently in
Anyone looking at this, i am most grateful.....Shafting an epic speed 3 wood and #1, the shaft seems to hit a shelf less than an inch down, and #2, even though the shaft only goes in less than an inch, it seems very,very, loose in the hosel.....Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there a tip weight stuck in the bore that is keeping the shaft from going in all the way? Do you have the proper collared ferrule? That could help with the loose fit, as well as a bit of quick center. It should be a pretty straightforward reshaft, all things considered.
Thanks. It doesn't look like it needs a collared fuerulle but probably does. There is nothing stuck in the bottom it is hollow under the shelf that the shaft rests on but it is less than an inch down.
The shelf is not the shelf that a collared ferulle would rest on. This shelf is about a little over 3/4 in down in the hosel. The shaft is prepped and fits very loose but that is just dry fitted with no fuerulle.
Callaway fairway woods just have a wider hosel than .335, you just have to know that going into it. And as you mentioned, the depth is quite shallow. I always use a brass shim when doing Callaway fairway woods. You will need to trim the legs of the shim because they are too long for the hosel.
I would think the same thing, but if you can see the second shelf with my lousy photography, it is what the shaft rests on and it is only 7/8 inch deep......There is quite a bit of space under the shelf.
Not sure about the whole bore depth issue, but if the hosel is open to the inside of the head, you definitely need a hosel bore plug so that epoxy doesn't get inside the head and cause a rattle. Without seeing it in person, I'm not sure what to do about the short insertion depth.
Yes, good point.....I have hosel plugs that i plan to use.....I just don't get the 7/8 depth but figure there is some reason the shelf is there......Under normal conditions, I would be able to look at what came out of it but i got it without a shaft.
I just reshafted a friend's epic Speed fairway. It was by far the most loose a shaft has ever fit in a hosel for me. I used a brass shim and a collared ferrule and the shaft still rocked. I was shocked.
That's what I thought last year when I saw that Callaway had moved away from the Epic name to introduce the new Mavrik metal woods. In my opinion, 'Epic' is the perfect descriptive word for a golf club, whereas the fact that Mavrik was spelt wrong annoyed me a little and I don't think it really represented the average golfer either. I don't think as many people could relate to it.
For me, the first Epic Driver moved the needle in terms of the brash name, and most importantly the performance backed it up, it worked. When I was on Tour, it made me jealous of the Callaway Staff players as I new it was hot. I even remember trying one out on the range at the Ladies Scottish Open in 2017 as everyone was raving about the speed of it, telling me how 'Epic' it really was!
The Epic name is back for 2021, and these drivers are once again gunning for the top spot as the number one driver in the game. After a strong end to 2020 for Titleist with the introduction of TSi, Callaway need to come out fighting in the new year.
They've made a good start to that by announcing Jon Rahm as their new main man and will be praying that he adds a major to his already impressive trophy collection very soon. Whilst you will probably see him with a new Epic headcover in his bag, it's more likely to be the proto Triple Diamond which isn't available for mere mortals like you and me to try.
As with all Callaway releases these days, you get the benefits of their AI super-computer in the Callaway factory, which runs through thousands of different design simulations in order to find the setup that best provides maximum ball speed and forgiveness.
This produces the Flash Face SS21, which we saw in last year's Mavrik Drivers, with a unique and individual design for every single head and loft in the range in order to improve ball speed and 'spin robustness'.
The new Jailbreak Speed Frame not only provides a stiffened body vertically but also improves stability in the horizontal and torsional direction too, which is said to keep ball speeds up across a wider area of the face. This new frame is clearly visible on the sole of the club as there are now four framed medallions, rather than the two on previous models.
The Epic Speed Driver boasts a new Cyclone Aero shape which is designed to promote less drag, with the Triaxial carbon crown covering a larger portion of the crown and the toe. This makes the head much lighter than a titanium head and so this means that Callaway can distribute weight elsewhere in the head to improve MOI.
As always with Callaway drivers you get the benefit of the Optifit hosel, which allows you to change lofts, lie angle and shot shape to best suit your own swing characteristics. This can also be done without having to rotate the shaft.
At Golfalot we were also sent the exploding heads of the new Epic so that we could see all of the different components of the driver head. I think the Jailbreak technology makes a lot of sense because the bars immediately remind me of stability and strength, and the design just looks like it's clearly going to make things more stable.
It's also pretty cool to feel all of the lumps and bumps on the driver face to show that each Flash Face is different to another. Equipment manufacturers always talk about making things lighter and the effect of a carbon crown, but when you actually get the chance to hold one then you'll appreciate just how light they really are.
Epic Speed Driver - This replaces the Epic Flash Driver, and whilst also having a 460cc head it differs in shape from the Max S due to a 'taller ribbon and flatter crown' which is said to make it the fastest head in the Epic family. This driver will be suited to a wide range of players and has a more medium spin rate which is less fade-biased due to more weight being redistributed towards the heel. A Triaxial toe patch also helps to add a little bit of draw bias. It is available in 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees.
Epic Max LS Driver - This replaces the Epic Flash Sub Zero and is aimed at mid to low handicap golfers who are looking for lower spin combined with more workability but still retain high workability. It is Callaway's most fade-biased driver with adjustable perimeter weighting that they say can alter ball flight by up to 13 yards. The lofts available are 9 and 10 degrees.
Epic Max Driver - This is the most forgiving Epic driver, with the Triaxial Carbon crown saving 19 grams compared to a titanium head in order to produce a deeper CG, even more draw bias and a higher MOI for straighter drives. The adjustable perimeter weighting allows the 17g weight to be moved across the head to promote the desired ball flight, and combined with the Optifit hosel it can enhance shot shape correction by up to 20 yards. This may not be a long driver, but it will help with those slice shots and if you hit more fairways, your ball should run out further anyway. The Epic Max is available in 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees.
I visited the Belfry in December to take my first look and swings with the Epic range around the PGA National. I then was sent the fitting pack from Callaway where I fitted myself into the correct shaft and tried the drivers inside at LSH Auto, Mercedes Benz Stockport using Trackman 4 and Titleist Pro V1x balls.
First things first, the green is back, although in more of a lime green than last time, whilst the yellow of the Epic Flash has gone completely. The crown has a more simple look with most of the carbon 'mesh pattern' gone although the glossy black finish remains, and it still looks pretty recognisable as a modern Callaway head.
The sole reminds me of a combination of the Epic Flash colours, but with the simplicity of the Mavrik in shape and writing. You can clearly see the four Jailbreak medallions and the different weighting of the three models.
In terms of feel, there's not a huge difference between these drivers in comparison to the 2019 Epic Flash but for me that's a good thing. They are perhaps slightly firmer off the face, which made me think that the Jailbreak Frame was probably working in providing some more stability.
My numbers were very similar to the Epic Speed in terms of distance and spin, with the spin rate actually slightly lower in the Epic Speed than the Max LS. Because of the change in CG, the launch was slightly lower in the LS and as Callaway suggested there was more of a fade bias when you look at the dispersion.
