Where it wins
- Feel82
- Looks82
- Sound80
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a fast, forgiving, high-launching all-round fairway and don't care about tinkering with settings.
You want to adjust loft or weighting, or need the lowest spin — the Sub Zero or an adjustable modern fairway suits you better.
Pros
- One of the longest, fastest fairways of its year with a hot maraging face
- A big jump in forgiveness over the old Epic Flash — high MOI and stable
- A high, easy launch and a clean, versatile shape
Cons
- No adjustable hosel or weights — you're stuck with the stock setup
- A neutral all-rounder with limited shot-shaping
- Four years on, newer fairways have moved the speed and sole tech along
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongMuch higher MOI than the old Epic Flash — a fast, mid-sized head that stays stable and holds its line on a mishit.
Distance
StrongThe fastest fairway Callaway had made — a hot maraging face and low spin add real, easy yardage.
Workability
ModestA neutral, all-round head — high-launching and versatile, but with no weights or hosel to dial in a shot shape.
Feel
ExcellentA lively, powerful strike off the maraging face — plenty of energy and a driver-like pop from the middle.
Sound
StrongA solid, metallic note at impact — clean and unremarkable, typical of a fairway of its year.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, mid-sized 174cc shape that sits nicely behind the ball — tidy and reassuring without being oversized.
