Key Takeaways

It’s a long name with a simple value proposition. For golfers who find optimal performance with one of Nippon’s Modus Tour iron shafts, why not create a commensurate driver (or fairway) shaft? At face value, it’s a concept that seems to almost make too much sense. Almost.
So, why now and why Nippon?
One or the Other
Historically, shaft companies produced either steel or carbon-composite (graphite) shafts. And to some degree, that’s still the dominant structure, though we are seeing some brands crossing the aisle. For two seemingly similar products, the materials, technology and designs are actually quite different.
Three shots behind with six holes to play, Kevin Na birdied three straight holes and finished with an up-and-down birdie from behind the 18th green for a one-shot victory in the Sony Open on Sunday.
Brendan Steele had the lowest score of his PGA Tour career with a 9-under 61, giving him a two-shot lead and another chance to win the Sony Open.
Nick Taylor holds a 2-shot advantage at the Sony Open, but a large pack that includes Stewart Cink and Webb Simpson is chasing the leader in sunny Hawaii.
In a statement, Ralph Lauren said the anti-gay slur Justin Thomas used in a PGA Tour event last week conflicts "with the inclusive culture that we strive to uphold."

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.
