The quick version of the story is that the C allaway Epic Speed driver is the fastest in the 2021 lineup. Here’s the breakdown of the three models. It’s not what I expected from Callaway and that makes it all the more intriguing. The third – the Epic Max LS – is a fairly significant departure from what Callaway has done over the last several iterations.

Differences in movable weight technologies aside, two of the three aren’t significantly different than what we saw in last year’s Mavrik line. Callaway Epic Drivers – Three ModelsĪs become standard for Callaway and nearly everyone else, there are three models in the Callaway lineup. There’s definitely a bit of manufacturing ingenuity involved but it’s worth mentioning that production versions of the AI Speed Frame are made of titanium and aren’t green. While the bright green thing Callaway staffers are holding up is a reasonable representation of the technology, the actual AI Speed Frame is fixed into the head during the casting process. No, It’s Not GreenĪs an aside, you may have seen images of the AI Speed Frame on Callaway’s social media channels. It’s a hard value to quantify in absolute terms but saying the new design reduces crown deflection by 20 percent would put you within a reasonable ballpark.īasically, the AI Speed Frame design tightens internal connection points which results in less energy lost to deflection and more energy returned to the ball. Speed Frame builds upon both AI Speed Face and Jailbreak technology by further stiffening the connection between crown and sole and adding more contact points to create additional horizontal and torsional stiffness. This time around, the defining feature created (at least in part) by the machine is what Callaway has branded AI Speed Frame. While most manufacturers use some flavor of supercomputing, Callaway believes nobody else is using AI to the extent it is nor is it playing as prevalent a role in what ultimately comes to market. Epic Speed, Epic Max and Epic Max LS drivers are the result of the FIRST time that AI has been used to design Callaway’s AI face and Jailbreak technology concurrently.Īs you may know, for the last several generations of products, Callaway has leveraged a farm’s worth of supercomputers, artificial intelligence and machine learning to accelerate its design objectives. With every release, Callaway likes to call our attention to a first. The Speed and Max build on the previous generation while Max LS is something new entirely.Callaway is releasing three new Epic drivers: Epic Speed, Epic Max and Epic Max LS.
