Reviews of Drivers tend to come in one on comps. Every club is unique, and each manufacturer is different. It is normally not a point of interest or comparison if a club comes in a set: players tending to want a focus on the individual aspects of the club. However, the Callaway Epic 21 Drivers are different. These clubs are mean to be tested all together due to the nature of their design. The clubs are off shoots of one another. Each one has a slightly different feel, fit, and goal of play.
Epic 21 Driver Models
There are several various models of Callaway Drivers. Some are replacements of other clubs: made once technology has been upgraded. The Epic Speed, Epic Max LS, and the Epic Max are meant to be replacements for a few of their other clubs. However, they are not simply recasts of an old model. They are unique in their own ways.
Firstly, they are made using Artificial Intelligence. This is an innovative technology that Callaway has begun to capitalize on when designing its clubs. This can be seen in the address of all three models. Each one has a design that is meant to be streamlined and pleasing for the user.
The Difference
There are a few differences between the three models. The Epic Speed is built for, well, speed. It is designed to have a higher spin and more travel on flight. If a player is looking for a more aggressive flight, then the Epic Speed is the right choice.
By contrast, the Epic Max LS (low spin) is meant to slow that same spin down. The idea of a low spin is meant to generate a decent amount of distance. Whether or not the lack of a spin does affect the distance of a swing, it does affect the flight of the ball. Really, the difference between these two models comes down to style of play.
This is where the Epic Max comes in. It is the middle ground for these two clubs. Instead of focusing on high spin or low spin, this club focuses on forgivability. It also encourages keeping the ball in the air. Forgivability is a prominent request for many golfers. It is an aspect that many would prefer instead of greater distance or increased spin.
How to Decide
Really, it comes down to a player’s style of golfing. This is true for all club choices. It doesn’t matter if it’s a driver or a putter. Every player will be in need of something different. Every Epic 21 Model is a good model. It will come down to feel and what performance aspect a player wants to accentuate. Some of it will come down to fit with many players now opting to go down the custom fit route. However, it will always come down to what a player needs. The good thing is, Callaway understands this. They did not simply make a single driver with a single key performance. Instead, they created a range of models to choose from. Making each one with the same level of care and precision known from Callaway.
