Callaway will offer two fairway wood models – Epic Speed and Epic Max.Ball speed targets are in line with Epic Speed drivers.MSRP is $299.

The Callaway Epic Speed fairway woood is the latest iteration of Callaway’s Epic franchise. We’ll forgive you if you’re feeling like that might also be the name of the previous version. That was actually Epic Flash. And before that was Epic. Epic Star slid in there as well as a primarily Japanese release. Then, in between copious Epic releases, we had Rogue and, of course, the 2020 Mavrik line.

Citing chapter and verse of each Callaway Epic release over the past four years is an onerous task. And possibly worthy of a Jeopardy question or two.

That said, the Epic franchise is now in its fourth year. And as with every other Epic release, the primary design consideration is class-leading ball speed born, in part, from Callaway’s Jailbreak Technology.

With that, Callaway is releasing two models – Epic Speed and Epic Max. Let’s dig in.

Callaway is releasing three new Epic drivers: Epic Speed, Epic Max and Epic Max LS.The Speed and Max build on the previous generation while Max LS is something new entirely.Retail price is $529.99. Retail availability begins Feb. 18.

With every release, Callaway likes to call our attention to a first. 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.

As 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.

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.

2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Won’t Have Traditional Pro-Am Format

Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill to Host; No Monterey Peninsula Country Club

The PGA TOUR, in conjunction with AT&T, the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and Pebble Beach Company, today announced that the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will be played without the traditional multi-day pro-am format due to local COVID-19 circumstances in the Monterey Peninsula. The professional portion, featuring 156 players, will be played as scheduled, February 8-14, 2021, and will be held on only two courses: Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course.

“We are incredibly grateful for the commitment of our title sponsor AT&T, corporate partners, PGA TOUR, Pebble Beach Company, Monterey Peninsula Country Club and volunteer community,” said Steve John, Tournament Director and Monterey Peninsula Foundation CEO. “While we will truly miss watching the actors, musicians, athletes and other amateur participants that make this event so special, we are pleased to continue on with the professional competition, enabling the Foundation to support nonprofits in Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties. Our charitable giving will target basic needs like food insecurity, educational inequities and health inequities brought on by the pandemic.”

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2021, had previously announced spectators will not be on-site at this year’s event. Through the unwavering support of AT&T, the second-longest running title sponsor on the PGA TOUR, the tournament will continue to maximize charitable contributions in the area. Since 1947, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has generated more than $176 million for charities in Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties.

“While the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am may look different, AT&T is proud to continue our legacy of supporting the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and is committed to ensuring a positive impact on the local charities who benefit from the tournament proceeds each year,” said Lori Lee, CEO of AT&T Latin America and Global Marketing Officer. “It’s unfortunate that we won’t be hosting the amateur portion of the tournament, but the safety of the fans, the players and the volunteers is our top priority. We look forward to welcoming the fans and the amateur players back next year.”

With the new Odyssey White Hot OG putters, Odyssey has implemented a double-decade dialing back of their face technology. When all other new golf products are about the latest and greatest advancements, why would Odyssey choose to go backward? Essentially, many of you are at fault, along with about 50 percent of the Odyssey tour players. You’ve asked and asked and now you get what you want.

The Return of the Original White Hot Insert!

Yes, Odyssey is bringing back the original White Hot insert. How could this happen? Though COVID-19 prevented me from making my usual Carlsbad pilgrimage this year, I still have an idea about how the conversation between Odyssey designers Luke Williams and Sean Toulon went down.

Luke: “What we gonna do right here is go back.”

Sean: “How far you going back?”

Luke: “Way back. And it goes a little something like this.”
