See what GolfWRX members are saying about Callaway’s new Epic Red driver

Published

on

As part of Callaway’s new Customs-Tour Limited program, the company has released a new Tour-Limited GBB Epic Red driver. As the name implies, the club heads have “Red Dye-Clear triaxial carbon crowns,” according to Callaway, and they come with Project X HZRDUS Red shafts. The drivers, which are selling for $599.99 in a limited supply, come with red leather headcovers, as well.

They will be available in 9- and 10.5-degree heads, and with 5.5- or 6.0-flex shafts. Here are the full specs, as per Callaway’s website:

What GolfWRX members are saying

Jdavenp3: Mannnnn, I love red drivers too. Just got a new Sub Zero though. 

TheGolfingFirefighter: That looks sweet! 

Ksrocket: Bought one. Love the red look. Yes to me it reminded me of Nike covert which I loved the look. Hated the performance. I was fit into an epic. Liked the performance but hated green.  Fit into a M2 with Hzrdus red.  Now I get the best of both. Epic head with hzrdus red. Will look great in the bag with my brand new nike covert forged also. I would agree probably over priced but oh well. Everyone on this site blows money lol. Looking forward to my new driver! 

Equipto: Not a fan of the red, really prefer blacks, greys and whites. Preferably matte at that, the shiny is just too much for me now. That said I know there are different stokes for different folks and I’m sure they will sell them out. 

tj7644: I love the red look. I think that it will look sweet with the new MD4 wedges. 

Lacey Underall: Love the head… but the shaft? That might be red overload. Perhaps my thoughts would change when I see it in person though.

    I love the look of that big ruby red bulbous head hanging at the end of that stiff 6.0 Project X HZRDUS Red shaft. My type of driver . 😎

    Just when you thought the Ugly Nike was gone, Callaway drags it back out. UGH

    Tried the Epic (44.5″ w/dual wts) but went back to the Fusion Heavy (44.5″ w/12g wt). Both had UST Recoil shaft, but the Fusion was much more forgiving with off-center strikes. Epic was a bit longer, but overall results favored the Fusion.

      I love the look of the Epic Red. Too bad it costs more than my entire bag!

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
  • JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
  • jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
    Mizuno MP-32
    Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
    Bridgestone J33cb – still own
    Srixon i-302 (2 sets) – still own
