2021 is going to be another EPIC year!

2020 couldn’t leave us fast enough and we are ready to get the 2021 golf season started with a bang!

This season Callaway introduces the EPIC Speed Driver. The EPIC Speed line paired with the Big Bertha 21 driver that launched in August gives us so many great options to help you HIT BOMBS way out there past your buddies. I’m playing the EPIC Speed Max LS, and Dustin has put the standard EPIC Speed in his bag!

EPIC Driver Line

Hitting it long is definitely fun, but hitting it close to the hole is still what brings home the victories. The APEX 21 irons are so beautiful and with their soft forged feel they give you great distance and forgiving in an amazing looking club head. This year the APEX 21 line has the APEX Pro (will be in both Ryan and Dustin’s bag) the standard APEX (our most popular iron for the last 5 years in a row) and the new APEX DCB (stands for Deep Cavity Back and is the most forging APEX ever).

What am I excited for in 2021?

Last year the #1 club on my list was the Super Hybrid and so many of you have enjoyed the benefits of having that club in the bag. See below for my 2021 HOT List:

1. The APEX Irons without a doubt. I am so excited to put these in my bag (I check for shipping information daily) and I am just as excited about the great feel they will provide all of you. Forged clubs aren’t just for better players anymore!

2. We have had EPIC, EPIC Flash and now EPIC Speed and this year they have updated the Jail Break technology that debuted in the original EPIC line to make these clubs more forgiving and to transfer more energy right back into the ball for maximum ball speed!

3. New Callaway, Sun Mountain and Ping golf bags with some great new color lineups. Plus a select few of them will be coming in with a beautiful new CCL logo like the one pictured here (minus the name of course).
 

4.
The MAVRIK, MAVRIK Pro and MAVRIK MAX irons from 2020 will still be in the line and offer an option that is very forgiving with maximum distance for an iron. The big thing with all of these clubs is the use of AI to create a clubface that offers distance and forgiveness and is specifically designed to maximize the performance for that club. This means that the 4 iron is designed to launch the ball high and long while the 9 iron is more designed for a controlled launch with more spin to get the ball to stop.  Click here to see more about this line of irons.

What’s in your bag?
Fairway wood vs. hybrid
 
 When hybrids were first introduced, they aimed to replace #3 and #4-irons in most golfers' bags. But now? Every hybrid set will have an equivalent loft to the #5 wood loft.
 
 
And almost every hybrid set has an 18° loft model, facing up against the traditional #4 wood. So which should you carry? Or, is the fairway wood dead?
 
“Again, this is about you, your golf swing, and your shot consistency. The swing technique for the two clubs, even two with identical lofts, is slightly different. The fairway wood requires you to pick the ball up from the very bottom of your swing. The hybrid requires you to take a small divot, after a slightly descending blow on the ball”.
 
 
The debate about fairway woods and hybrids is interesting in the bar, but it's not especially relevant when we’re looking at your bag, your swing, and your golf game. It’s all about what’s best for you.
 
Book an assessment
It doesn’t matter how experienced or inexperienced you are, how sweetly you strike it, or how inconsistent you might be; every golfer should carry clubs that make the game more enjoyable and more fulfilling.

The right place is 41 extra yards
 
Have you ever looked at where you strike the face of your driver on tee shots?
 
 
Most amateur golfers strike the ball away from the sweet spot or hitting zone. This reduces what we term as the smash factor. That is a measure of the efficiency of the transfer of swing speed at impact into initial ball speed.
 
 
Slower but further
TrackMan data from hundreds of thousands of amateur golf swings tells us that the average swing speed is 93 mph and the average distance is 214 yards. The average smash factor is 1.42. If we can get you closer to a solid 1.5 with a couple of extra degrees of launch angle, we could get you 255 yards. In fact, if you swing just a little slower and get you to a smash factor of 1.5, we would still add 20+ yards.
 
How you measure up?
What is your smash factor? What is your opportunity gap between your smash factor and your distance with a smash factor of 1.5?

Give us a call, come and see us, or contact us below, and let’s benchmark your smash factor. How far do you hit it on average, and what is your launch data? What is your opportunity gap?
