Fitting Callaway Epic Flash Driver - 145mph ball speed player

[@davidwilson1107]

Fantastic video guys. If you had 1000 of these fitting vids I'd watch them all back to back. Love this.

[@anthonymckenzie7951]

Really love the proposed new approach guys. High swing speed review with Matt, avg swing speed fit with Al provides a more robust view of the performance of a club across a spectrum of players. The fitting action is excellent to educate us on how real fittings should work. Keep it coming guys, this is awesome!!!

[@dnakagawa2910]

Been a big fan of the channel from near the beginning. LOVE having test done with a more average ss player. THANK YOU! Hope to see more of Al testing the other new heads!

[@tnjbrown]

I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting for this series of Al testing all the new offerings, trying to beat this combo.. love seeing the 145mph-ish ball speed testing. Matches up well with a larger segment of players... great work guys.

[@dominicylee]

I haven't seen every one of your videos, but this I probably enjoyed the most. Glad to see you talk through a fitting and explain what you're doing and why. Love it.

[@Your_Mailman_Grows_7121]

Glad to see this style video back in the rotation. Nice to see someone around my swing speed too.

[@eddiex72]

Thanks guys. And thanks to Al for stepping in. I have a similar swing speed and ball speed. Hoping to get fit finally for a driver. Just wish I was down the street from you guys.

[@sdennispga]

Great work as always gents! As a fellow 100-105 SS player, Al adds a ton of value. Once all the new heads are out and Al has a shaft that works, I'd love to see a head vs head video...maybe with Matt and Al to show who prefers what, based on the difference in speed.

[@MrDonny475]

just got a link to your videos from a Hackers Paradise friend. Prolly watched 5 over last couple of hours her eat the office while i am working, thank you for the plethora of information, now a big time fan

[@ianfraser3194]

Donny Crawford great to have you with us Donny!!

[@TC-ps9sd]

I like the in depth reviews of a new product. With the '19 driver intros alone, your video roadmap will take you into the spring!

[@FlyboyAF22]

Great format! Initial product release review, compare to others in the same category/last year's model, go through the fit with it....makes so much sense! Can't wait to see what you add with GEARS :)

[@fit2yougolf926]

I aspire to Alan's efficiency with the driver...The work you are doing with Larry is obviously paying off! I always pay special attention to the fittings you do with golfers with more typical swing/ball speeds (not that I don't like Matt's contribution, I just don't see too many of those #'s in my world). I especially liked how this one showed how making other adjustments in addition to a shaft change can make a difference in ball flight. Keep it up! Dave.

[@alexmurray3767]

Love this format. Looking forward to more of these videos with additional clubs as they are released. So helpful! Thanks

[@SteveMorrisTCS]

Great video. Sometimes find it hard to relate to these swings, as a mid fifties with arthritis and swing speed currently around mid eighties I watch these with a bit of envy.

[@barracatcher6466]

Hahahahaha “ when the new heads roll in”. Ian that was gold!!

[@chrischampion727]

Super video and great job Al! I think throwing Al into the club testing mix is going to be so valuable and relevant to the majority of your audience. Mr. 280!

[@myrtlebeachgolfersc4814]

This was a great video.... matt breaks down in Lehman’s terms what Ian is explaining.... Ian you could record your breakdowns of clubhead/shaft characteristics and sell it as relaxation tapes!!!! Learn something new every time you do a fitting which I can use to my benefit!

[@danthemanwhocancan]

MyrtleBeachGolfer SC is that Tom Lehman? 🤔

[@madtrad]

Really liked this series gents. Would love to see more of it. Class work as always

[@kevinfriesen5081]

Hey guys! I really like the Matt and Al combo. The more vids the better. It’s gonna be awhile until I can get back out on the course 🇨🇦

[@alfredthegreat9543]

Great to listen to you both go through the process. Good job.

[@benthomas5151]

I am getting fitted for new set soon this is a great insight into whats happening i look forward to the series going forward with the new drivers Keep up the good work guys

[@p1miguel999]

Excellent TXG! Mr. 270 is more inline with where I live. Can not relate to much of what Matt delivers. Wish i could and dream of the day but at 47 years of age don't think its going to happen. But with today's tech you all are showing you can optimize one's potential substantially. I did go out and bought the new TS3 and did gain some yards, more importantly hitting more fairways than i was with M3. I know it is more being a better fit than the driver but also looking forward to your testing of all the new product as well. With both types of swing speeds, Matt and Al #Mr. 270, well that is just going to be the best of both worlds. love it, keep up the great work guys.

[@chrisfreitag2603]

Well done. Helpful to understand the thought process involved in the selection of driver, shaft combination and adjustability to optimize distance and ball flight for the average golfer. Very relevant information and highlights the importance of getting fitted.

[@juwadanah]

great video guys, really solid information. I can't wait to come and get my whole bag fitted. It has been 5 years since my last fitting, so I think I am due and update.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Absolutely Daryl!!

[@chriselerick5674]

awesome video. it’s so cool to watch and learn from ian about how to make changes to get the best fit. the matt and al combo is super for different perspectives. now just need a ott/negative aoa tester and you’ll be able to really cover the bases. keep up the great work.

[@paulknox4965]

This is exactly the kind of video I’ve been looking for.

[@davet1320]

Like seeing Al test these clubs. Infinitely more relatable than Matt. Much more relevant to 99% of golfers. Looking forward to seeing this series with Al.

[@ianfraser3194]

davet1320 we’ll have a little mix of everything built in this year.

[@gtbp90]

Love the depth of these new reviews so far!!! Can’t wait for the cobra series.

[@ignorance123]

Great series idea for each driver Benchmark, indeed.

[@rul0n784]

Great help in evaluating clubs and outcomes.

[@chrisrichardson5309]

I always love your videos. they have caused me to re-asses how i think about what i have in the bag. cant wait to see whats coming.

[@jqmk18glock17]

Great review and fitting makes me really take my time buying a new club and thinking of everything that factors in on it great information keep it coming

[@obedtorres7445]

Good fitting review guys! Got Al dialed in pretty quick and reduced his dispersion nicely.

[@johnschneider8839]

As an avid mid handicapper and Engineer i absolutely loved your fitting with Al on the Flash. Please do this for the Wilson Cortex as i see this club being a hit on the used market soon. I have hit it and absolutely love it. Gaming 2016 M2 for two years and ready for a change.

[@steverichardson9133]

Interesting video. I have similar speeds with my driver. I was very interested in the shaft choices you gave him. I find that when I try a shaft that I should be using, based on my speed, they feel too soft and I leave the face wide open at impact. I play a draw, so the high right cut does not appeal to me. So for this reason I play X stiff shafts, even though my speed says I should not.

[@JuanGarcia-hr1wf]

Great video with Al guys. Love the fitting videos as well as the insight. Keep up the great content

[@HollandProductions_CA]

You guys are the best. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@j2martnz348]

Nice to see a video with a more comparable swing speed .

[@tommyboyd6189]

Really enjoying how you guys explain the process...if only you had a fitting centre near Scotland

[@doronneuhaus30]

As usual, another awesome and informative video. Not sure I'm ready to replace my G400 LST yet but it's very cool to see someone swinging at more human speeds than Matt and still getting out there at 280. My speed is between the two (110mph) so hoping to get close to that 300 mark after a fitting this weekend.

[@jerrypetersen5739]

Good job on this video! I think between the previous ones and this one you can see ball speed change. However, as you shown the shaft and the adjustments to the head are keys to success for each player. So Get Properly Fit!!!!

[@BeingBornProductions]

Well done lads! Al certainly is a good addition.

[@ianfraser3194]

theadub agreed

[@scotty_teee4226]

Great job on the video guys. I fall between Al and Matty in speed so it will be great to compare both. Always good to see someone fall into a combo that works and you can see the level of comfort with it straight away. Looking forward to the comparison of products this season as the g400 has made a pretty big bench mark. I went to the max head myself

[@rodneymounsey4168]

Just picked up a bargain Epic Flash to replace the GBB Epic which I love, doing the self fit thing. Let’s see if it out performs the favourite!

[@Struieboy]

Enjoyed watching Al swing as I can relate to his swing speed and shorter back swing. I wish I could relate to his distance.

[@Anibal_Torres]

Wow. I truly love the new style of video. Even though I have more of a load in my own swing, I was able to learn so much from this. Great job! I wish you guys were out be me in Long Island, New York. I’ve been fitted twice now and have not had anywhere near the type of experience you guys seem to have.

[@redshiftlegends9919]

Does D setting make it flatter or more upright? I switched mine to D, and it made a huge difference. Got rid of both my fade/slice, AND my pull hook. Phenomenal driver. Running AV blue 65 S, 9* Head stated. It works really well, penetrating ball flight and no ballooning. Slices slice less also.

[@reidthompson1825]

Just rewatched this one. Moved the weights toward strike point, interesting, Have to try that on my toe strikes.

[@titog3110]

Awesome vid, hope to go visit u guys this spring 👍⛳️

[@scottmunro3167]

Superb video! Well done and very informative.

[@davewalsh5907]

Fantastic video! Would love to visit you guys one day; if the Toronto Wolfpack get promoted to Super League then I’ll be over for the Wigan game and a visit to TXG will be on the itinerary 😊🏌️👍

[@mikecook8059]

Great job, as always I love watching the process!!

[@pinoy122793]

This guy has good consistency.

[@BillyTheKidAudit]

GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS!.....I dont care what hoops you guys have to jump thru, please get a visa to work here in the states. Would love to get fitted by TXG!. #TXG #POWERFUL

[@isakgoodnoe]

Or maybe you just take a trip to visit them haha. Seems a tad bit easier.

[@larrymorris9260]

Great video I’m a lefty and a slicer sounds like the Epic Flash might be a good fit for me

[@toursauce86]

Great job on the fitting videos. Love the direction yall are going. Waiting for that G410. Playing the G LST looking for an upgrade.

[@markhurlin715]

As always another great in-depth review 👍⛳️

[@Disturbed7100]

I finally got on a launch monitor and found my club head speed is 100-105 as well, 146 ball speed but 4500-5000 spin. I had the pro tell me to crank the loft down because my launch was like 17* + with a 10.5 degrees head. Now my launch is about 10-12 and 2600-3000 spin. The shaft in my driver wasn't fit for me, but he believed i need something with a slightly stiffer tip.

[@macgregormt]

Would love to see a head to head cobra F9 & miz st190 in Al’s hands to see what findings he might see. Al’s is so close to the masses with his SS but he adds the consistency - would be a video that would get tons of views

[@kenmack5179]

Great video, would love to see Alhit all the other new drivers and compare them to his new "benchmark"

[@ngreed86]

First time viewer to your channel and I can’t wait to go through your other videos! Good work guys!

[@Hrledood911]

You guys are amazing! Wish you were in the states! I enjoyed watching this!

[@adamblackwood7502]

Very interesting. So by adjusting head to fade bias helps with the toe strikes?

[@TheRealDetectiveM]

Dam ... Got excited you were fitting a 145 mph swing speed 😅

[@simonfreaky001]

Great video guy's !

[@oldgold5848]

Great stuff as usual guys. My swing speed is similar, and yardage overall is a bit lower on average with more run than carry compared to Allen, which with some bunkering on my home course at around 230 from the tee is .....annoying.... I have a feeling that I am far from optimal with my driver. I tend towards a high flight, although when I go after one the low hooky one appears.....Time to hit the balls with some electronic feedback I think!

[@jonaspersson97]

Great video, thanks👍🏻! I’m playing the Oban Kiyoshi Purple 65 gms 04 Flex shaft in my driver, 100-105 mph...what’s the difference compared with the Raijin in the video? And the trickiest one...when do you open i Sweden😁🇸🇪??!!

[@PbD187]

Al is the man!

[@freedomisgolf5816]

Wish I could get a fitting from you guys as my spin is 3200 roughly with driver and my last fitting said that was ok 🤷‍♂️ Currently using Mavrik Max with a Ventus 7x Black

[@yt_life1610]

This guy is a club fitting genius

[@timwong2436]

Great video and a lot of information. I am trying to eliminate the left side of the fairway with my Epic Flash driver

[@ericherring3321]

Great Video as always guys. Please come to Texas!

[@joshheiden4332]

Great job guys! I am in the 100-105mph range and seem to have very similar ball flight as Big Al 270 (solid draw with some hooks and blocks mixed in) so this was very relevant to me. I tried the 10.5 deg epic flash with stock shaft last week. I didn't notice more ball speed or yards than with my 9.0 deg G30. Do you think lowering flash loft would help or maybe just different shaft? I seem to remember trackman reading a bit more spin than AL (2600-2800rpm). Thanks again!

[@clubchampionmedia]

Lowering loft would likely produce a bit more ball speed and lower the spin

[@totisanchez3607]

Thats amazing learned a lot there thanks i just wish we have a facility like yours here in the Philippines.

[@geoffreydewit9101]

very good session would love to have the same ratio with my driver

[@williag1970]

Great video guys. Looking forward to the next release. Matty is going to hate the M5 lol.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Hope they make a 12º head in LH!!!

[@blakeg.1093]

You guys are going to cost me money...... Great video guys

[@blakeg.1093]

@@odaat1985 is that seriously what people are paying?

[@mchristopher4803]

Yes guys it's Mark crossfield Mr.parfeild and now 262 yards on launch monitor

[@ScottDreyfus]

So..... I cracked my #Rogue #SubZero yesterday, but #CallawayGolf had me a new one on the way before 5 minutes was up on the phone.

[@johnschneider8839]

Ian your knowledge of the fitting process is unprecedented. What is your thought on Mark C's dilemma that sliding the rear weight around only moves the CG and now reduces MOI and really encourages you to hit the ball on the same side of the head that you moved the weight to?

[@clubchampionmedia]

we'll be making a video on this soon!

[@ianfraser3194]

John Schneider bare with us John, we'll be addressing that very soon.

[@caolanmclaughlin]

Holy sugar. Great Canadian there!

[@ianfraser3194]

Caolan McLaughlin 🤣

[@11golfnut11]

Could you please list the the differences between the Epic Flash and the Epic driver. I am in slight fade /straight driver of the ball and draw bias / weight adjustment are of great interest to me. Thanks for TX

[@clubchampionmedia]

Will be doing that video in the next few weeks

[@nixongill1063]

Again great format. Would love to take the mid handicapper to say a 2 iron/hybrid fitting as well. Just to mix it up.

[@ronluchkanyn5318]

I think adding a consistent swing 80-90 mph tester would be beneficial. I hereby volunteer

[@tj4381]

Awesome. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@rickfarber6242]

Awesome video. Great to watch these when swing speeds are comparable to your own. I have the original EPIC from two years ago, how much of a difference between the two EPIC’s? Thanks as always guys

[@clubchampionmedia]

We'll be doing a comparison with the original Epic at some point in the next few weeks

[@thomasveal3351]

Awesome video! Has Allan (I hope I spelt it correctly) tried the Srixon? Speaking of Srixon...

[@ianfraser3194]

Thomas Veal not yet.

[@ryanenglish4561]

Great work it shows that shaft fitting makes a difference!!! I hate this shaft doesn't matter crap!!

[@keithfinley2939]

I use a devotion 6 03 in epic SZ at 95 mph hitting several degrees up and smooth. Great combo. Is the Raijin as close as "they" say?

[@keithfinley2939]

Weight back by the way

[@ianfraser3194]

Keith Finley for me Raijin is softer in the top section.

[@robertsalazar5874]

loved it! wish you had tester at 85-90MPH

[@davieq5673]

Ian as usual knowledge in fitting is outstanding.I have nearly exact same numbers as Al would say little bit more aggressive on loading on downswing,even working to get more on left side,tend to be.toe,striker as well I am playing Rogue max 65 stiff but certainly not getting results as Al is.Play rogue Sub Zero @ 10 degree as tend to overdraw with normal headcan you please suggest a shaft to try!!thanks

[@clubchampionmedia]

tensei white, accra 300 series, graphite design Di

[@davieq5673]

Thanks for quick response,still in stiff around 65g?

[@davieq5673]

Driver clubhead speed 94-97mph usually on h2 quad

[@clubchampionmedia]

Yup that should work well

[@davieq5673]

Many Thanks will try and update

[@robertsalazar5874]

Great Job! love the review. I would love to see the same on a 85-90 Swing speed if possible...thanks Gents!

[@mtaddei78]

Hi guys with a 108 mph swing speed heavy loader and a little over the top with -1 AoA. What do you think about a Px hazrdus black 75 6.5. Great video as always 💪🏻💪🏻 Club 108.7 Ball 157.4 Spin 2570 Carry 263 Launch 10.8 Total 289 AoA -.07 Path -5.5 Height 29 yards

[@clubchampionmedia]

Could be a good shaft for you Marco

[@ianfraser3194]

marco antonio Taddei sounds like your doing a good job Marco. Hz Blk 75 6.5 would be great!!

[@mtaddei78]

Ian Fraser thanks Ian 👍

[@agolfhunter]

Great series and deep dive into the new Callaway drivers. Thanks guys. Question about fitting: I have a Ping G LS Tec and I absolutely love it and dont want to replace it, but watching your videos I think it becomes evident that shaft has a good amount of effect on the shot. Is it possible to do a shaft fitting with you for an older model driver? Thanks in advance!

[@davidlambert6849]

Haha!!! Holy sugar. That was great.

[@donfisher6659]

Nice distance for his swing speed. Hitting up on the ball sure didn't hurt any. The one thing I noticed that is of some concern to me is his lack of consistent ball flight. He hits one ball well right and then the next goes left. Not sure why other than a lack of a consistent swing into the ball.

[@parnopsiripornpak428]

Very nice guys. Can't wait to see other videos to come, I'm sure you guys will be so busy this month. Don't forget to stay healthy. BTW... Sad story is that Epic Flash will be price at around $780 in Thailand while it is $530 in the USA and around $670 for F9 here while it is $449 there.

[@jmac13131]

That is exactly my two misses at just a slightly higher ball speed than I have. My last skytrak session I noticed the spin axis tilt being a bit much causing the over draw. I am playing a Diamana Kai’li 70 in a G400 or Rogue SZ with ADDI 6 and the spin gets a bit high at times. Does the Rajin match well with either head?

[@ianfraser3194]

jmac13131 could do but unlikely to solve the spin issue.

[@jmac13131]

Thanks Ian!

[@stephendibari7704]

Now you need a 3rd person who swings in between Matt & Al, about 105-110 ! ( that’s my swing speed). Would love to get fitted by you guys, too bad you’re not in the NYC area !

[@richardgatehouse1520]

Great video as always fellas. Would the stock tensei av shaft be similar to the fujikura that Al first hit. Cheers Richard
