The same year Callaway also brought two variants; the Epic Flash Sub Zero aimed at players who struggle with ball trajectory off the tee and the Epic Flash Star aimed at golfers with slower or more moderate swing speeds.

Following the success the initial models of the the Epic driver Callaway refocused on AI design for their 2021 Epic driver range.

Key features of Used Callaway Epic Drivers

Callaway Epic drivers are built around Callaway face speed, stability and forgiveness technology. Key ideas across these ranges include Jailbreak-style internal support and face designs built to protect ball speed.

Jailbreak technology helps stiffen the body of the clubhead so the face can work more efficiently at impact. This can support faster ball speed and more consistent distance.

Callaway’s Flash Face or AI-designed face technology, depending on model, is designed to improve speed across a wider area of the face. That helps golfers who do not strike the centre every time.

Carbon crown or lightweight head construction helps save weight that can be repositioned for launch, stability and forgiveness. Different models may also offer draw bias or lower-spin performance.

The adjustable hosel on many models gives players scope to fine-tune loft and face angle, helping match the driver to the golfer’s preferred flight.
