Crown looks good on the flash. You guys are gonna forget the sole once you see the shape from address.

Pics or it didn't happen. YOU KNOW THE RULES!!!!

 

Still, even if I can press a button and this thing gets me 300 carry and the crown looks better than Scarlett Johansson, I will want the bottom refinished. That green and yellow looks like poopoo. I still have to look at that every time I take it in and out of the bag.

Preach!!! Does that mean that the headcover will be green and gold as well? If so....puke!!!

UAB colors so I'm ok with it. Also, can't really go wrong with a Masters themed anything can you? It's not a sexy driver paint scheme by any stretch and definitely doesn't have a whole lot of "flash" about it, but it's fine with me. I much prefer this color scheme over the Rogue blue

 

Epic "Flash" I'd expect a Las Vegas strip color scheme with shades of gold, bright red, blue, pink, etc.

Oh, I'd hit it FOR SURE.

 

At the end of the day, Epic Flash is..

 

Callaway cross bred a EPIC GBB with a Rogue.

 

I think it makes perfect sense, the sliding weight is a better option than 3 models (rogue, rogue draw and rogue sz).

 

While I like the hotness of the Rogue SZ, I miss the weight on the EPIC GBB that gave me the draw flight. In the end, I am going back to the Epic GBB and move on my Rogue SZ head.

 

The Epic Flash should be slightly hotter because it has the same jail break as Rogue AND a sliding weight. The only think I need to decide is whether to mess with the SubZero weight or just go with a regular Flash.

 

Good stuff & I am calling this LEGIT & EXCITED for 2019 :)

So TS-2/3 will cease to be the darlings after a few short months?

I can't keep up

 

 

 

From friends in the business the flash and new g410 will be the top two drivers next season. Looking forward to hitting them both.

 

They all will be good, but in the end it will come down to personal preference.

Not impressed by the ts2 and 3 anyway. Maybe if I could get a head heavy enough. They’ve made them wayyy too light.

If I heard correct just now Xander Shoufle is putting “ a new driver “ in play at the hero. Has to be the flash.

Add some lead tape during a fitting and if it works then hotmelt it?? I'd rather have a head be too light and be able to add weight on than a head that's heavy, because getting that right would require much more tinkering possibly.

 

Anyway... Cool that we might get a preview of this driver then soon.

Yea I get you. But I’ve honestly never found any head too heavy. I swear I think I could like a 230 g head. Lol.

 

It’s hard to talk any fitter into putting 30g of lead tape on a driver during a fitting. I keep saying “ more”. And they start giving the stink eye after the 3-4 piece. Me knowing he’s got 10 pieces to go.

 

I swung a ts3 twice and knew it wouldnt work. Could not feel the head at all at 44 inches. Just put it down. Then looked it up and saw how light they had made them.

How light is the head? I haven't hit one yet either... but I know at 44.5'' I need about 200g with a standard shaft and like 206 if the balance point moves toward the butt. At 45'' I could probably get away with 196g, but I've found that heavier heads tend to give me a bit better ball speed and also dispersion.

 

I'm hoping they make this new Epic standard at 200g or so... I'm with you, adding chunks of lead tape sucks. With M2 I was able to remove the weight port and toss cotton balls inside, but with my Z785 the weight port was just a little recessed part in the head and didn't expose the inside. Bummer. Half the reason I bought used LTD woods was so I could add weight inside of the head if need be.

I didn’t weigh a head myself. But twice I’ve found it posted that 195g is the standard weight. Most are adding 5g minimum and playing at 45 vs the 45.5 new stock length. I play 43 1/4. Could play 44. So my rogue head has 7g hotmelt and a 15g back weight. Total weight is 217g. And an 80g shaft. It doesn’t feel heavy.

Well that's basically a slighly over length 3w so I'm not too surprised it doesn't feel like a sledge hammer. If the underside of the Flash looked like the old Epic though, not sure how easy adding weight into the head would be. Probaly going to have heavier sliding weight I would assume, but I'm generally not a fan of that.

That's a full bag transfer that went longer than Heaven's Gate. And about as interesting.

I'm sorry, I don't get the color scheme bashing? I don't care what the bottom of a driver looks like, or the badges in an iron cavity for that matter, all that matters is look at address and performance to me. YMMV
