![]() I liked the feeling of this shaft in previous demos/fittings (it’s also offered as a no-charge upgrade in the TS line) but I always felt like it was a little whippy, and that always scares me into thinking I’m going to spray it all over the course. The shaft I was fit into was the Mitsubishi Tensei AV Blue 60 in stiff flex, tipped 1”. The face has some crazy high-tech mumbo jumbo going on with the crop-circle looking sweet spot that I’m not crazy for, but once I take it back it’s out of sight, out of mind. I get it, yellow is fast, like a Lamborghini, but with that dark green? It’s not going to stop me from bagging it if it outperforms my current gamer, but I don’t know anyone outside of Wisconsin who would order this color combination if they had a whole color palette to choose from. Interesting in their quest to be the speediest, they left those out? Maybe it was marketing hype all along? On the bottom, they’ve shortened the adjustable weight track and painted it quite possibly the ugliest color combination I have ever seen. What is missing are the small “bumps” on top that they collaborated with Boeing on to increase aerodynamics in their previous models. It has the same shiny-black crown that fades into a carbon fiber towards the back, and I love how open and lofty it looks – it really appears like it will have zero issues launching the ball. Having played the original iteration of the Epic, this is a familiar-looking design to me. I’ll look for any excuse to let the big dog eat, and that usually lands me in the soup on those courses, so I tend to avoid those courses whenever I can. I’ve been quoted many times by my friends saying that “I play golf to hit driver.” It’s undoubtedly my favorite club, and if you put me on a course that requires me to hit irons off the tee for position, I’m not going to have a good time. ![]() My driver swing speed averages 103-105 mph when I’m swinging well, and I’ve been told that I have a very smooth tempo. One of my strengths is being able to generate a decent amount of clubhead speed for my size, but I struggle with consistency and lack of an ability to hole makeable putts. 18 Birdies currently has me at a 9 hdcp, but since I was selected for the test, I’ve purchased Arccos and will be using that to measure my game moving forward. ![]() I’ve never joined a club, so I’ve never had an “official” handicap, but I typically shoot 80-83 and play courses around 6300-6500 yards comfortably. I’m on the course to have a good time, and whether I’m playing well or not, I enjoy myself. My playing partners range from former D1 collegiate golfer and High School State Champ, to people who have been playing for only a year and shoot in the 100s, but I am not the type to really care who I’m playing with. I lost my love for golf during and after college, but after some friends dragged me back onto the course 2 years ago, I’ve been fully obsessed all over again. I played golf year-round by spending my winter breaks here in Hawaii, but never competitively, just as a means to spend time with my family. Living in Las Vegas at the time, when I was around the age of 10 was when I really started to understand the concepts of hitting down into the ball instead of trying to sweep it, thinking about the next shot, etc., and started to break 100 from the ladies’ tees. I had some clubs that an uncle of mine chopped down and slapped some grips on and would join my stepdad on the range. Growing up in a family of golfers, I’ve been playing since a very young age, maybe since I was around 5. First and foremost, thank you to MGS and the forum staff for selecting me to review the 2019 Most Wanted driver! There’s nothing quite like the feeling of waking up and seeing one of the moderators has sent you a private message with a title like “Callaway Epic Flash Testers!”įor those who don’t know me, my name is Kory and I’m lucky to call Hawaii my home.
