Many years ago I was working in a supermarket in Stockholm and I remember selling cheese to none other than Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow). Didn’t ask him if he played no 1 lost ball or not.
I was testing the Sub Zero against a Rogue last week, and the sound of the Flash Sub was startling. I got good numbers with it, but I just couldn't get over the sound. A real shame. The Standard Flash is louder than Rogue or Original Epic, but much MUCH nicer than Flash Sub.
Thanks for the review - this really helps me exclude these two new Callaway models from my testing matrix for this season :-) Now I just have to test Cobra, TaylorMade, and Titleist against each other (and maybe the new 2nd Gen PXG).
Last year you performed a test where you set the shaft of the Rogue SZ into its draw setting, and it seemed to tame your excessive fade issue … try that again? Maybe the slightly more upright lie in the SZ is just a better fit for your swing characteristics.
Hi mark, you said this club makes you fade a little more than normal is that to do with the lie at address? You say all the time when adjusting driver shafts (those with adjustable shafts) that you override the lie angle at address when adjusted, so why not with this driver? #lockyarmy
Mark and Dan good video post, don't forget to give us/me the review of the Cobra f9 driver as soon as it arrives for you. Interested to see if you feel it's that much better than the f8 or just so so.
Always fun to see if there’s any actual difference between Epic and Sub with Callaway. Are they coming out with a 3 wood as well? Not in the driver market at the moment. Cheers bruh!
The noise is hysterical, borderline embarrassing. I'd feel I'd have to apologize to my playing partners everytime I walked off the tee 😂. Lovely test though Mark with the even lovelier Dan.
Why doesnt Callaway make a driver that you can change the weight from front to back so you don't have to choose between low spin and higher spin? I really want to try one of these but for the money, I just don't want to commit to a spin rate without trying it for a while. I have a 2016 m1 and love that I can tinker with the spin. If you are gonna have 2 different models, it should be one cheaper non adjustable neutral model and a fully adjustable model. Taylor made has this aspect absolutely correct. I wish Callaway would offer this and I might give them a try.
Sounds a bit like the old Nike sq ...square drive we referred to buy us as the bean can because of the sound... i would know if someine was hitting one anywhere on the course....hope the Callaway isn't as bad as it sounds on video...could be a bit embarrassing!!!
i am in no way affiliated with the company - but you guys should really buy some tee claws for the studio. continually going to pick up that rubber tee must be dull
Every... single... time... and I mean EVERY single time I hear you say "Flash"I hear Freddie Mercury in my head. Not that it's a bad thing... just sayin'. Honestly, I would've thought they could've gone with a red/gold theme rather than the Aquaman colors.
To me this is one of if not the worst looking driver that has came out in a while. The line on the top looks offputting to me and the color scheme to me looks very cheap. Again, personal preference but I would never ever ever pick this up to test it based solely on looks
I'm starting to think that all future driver reviews should be based on: price, number of stock shaft options, adjustabilty, looks and sound characteristics. Everything else is pointless when dependant on the human interaction (sponsored or not 😋) .
maybe im not right, but i think Flash is more of DC Flash than Flash Gordon ... lightning and speed etc. :) About the drivers ... i dont like the colors :(
Why go high pitched in noise when every driver on the market is heading toward the more mute carbon noise? The muted is much more appealing, and much friendlier on the ears when we hit the good ol rock.... I mean range balls.
If you want to draw it more naturally, then move the weight towards the heal a bit more. If you want to fade it, move the weight more towards the toe. Problem solved. Also I believe Mark is striking the ball too much and too soon, towards the left. In other words he is releasing too soon and needs to get his release about 20° more past the ball.
Pilotgolfer 84 I just can't get over it, not the same reviews as before when Mark was truly unbiased. You don't think Rick Shiels has been offered deals? He knows in order to maintain credibility and remain unbiased he must stay neutral and not get bought. Having said that, love the course vlogs and why I tune in still...
This will be one of the best selling clubs of 2019, and you are complaining about too many reviews? Go watch something else then, instead of complaining.
Great review, once again Mark! Continue the high quality videos. They are great to watch.
Another good rounded review guys - previous comments on the Eoic Flash video apply - format is a winner!
This should do well given the success of the original Epic but I'm going to wait 6 weeks and see what the Rogue Spark has to offer.
Great review. Keep them coming. Lots of new tech for you guys to be reviewing.
Many years ago I was working in a supermarket in Stockholm and I remember selling cheese to none other than Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow). Didn’t ask him if he played no 1 lost ball or not.
Hey Mark try this driver with the shaft in the draw setting see if that helps you at all
I was testing the Sub Zero against a Rogue last week, and the sound of the Flash Sub was startling. I got good numbers with it, but I just couldn't get over the sound. A real shame. The Standard Flash is louder than Rogue or Original Epic, but much MUCH nicer than Flash Sub.
Great review guys....currently using a Rogue which I get some great numbers out of, can't wait to try the new Epics....
Great review; lovely looking Driver....don’t think I’d be too worried about the sound it makes 🏌🏻♂️🏌🏻♂️

Surprising. I will tell you what is not surprising, Dan. He is splendid. Just that nice guy that everyone hopes for in a brother-in-law.

Was the epic flash any better than the ggb epic ???
Wasn’t the spin from the Normal Flash lower than the sub zero ??
Mark what’s happened to the 262 Sure glad I got aTS2 ⛳️🏌🏼♂️🇨🇦
Dan was very flashy with that epic drive! 😉
I wish I lived next door to Dan. I think he would bring an incredible Caesar salad to the barbecue.
the standard epic flash was spinning around 500rpm less with Mark than the sub????
Mark and Dan good video post, don't forget to give us/me the review of the Cobra f9 driver as soon as it arrives for you. Interested to see if you feel it's that much better than the f8 or just so so.

Can’t wait for the bay Hill Vlogs😎

They did offer that in the original epic sz.. 2 and 12 gram weights interchangeable front and back
Nice review Mark, I do like these!
The colors remind me of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Lovely footjoy top brah, I RESPECT that
Comments about Dan on dog leg hole was the best part. Otherwise, all reviews say try it. Depends on the player.
Sounds a bit like the old Nike sq ...square drive we referred to buy us as the bean can because of the sound... i would know if someine was hitting one anywhere on the course....hope the Callaway isn't as bad as it sounds on video...could be a bit embarrassing!!!
Would a low spin driver help someone who hits down on the ball? Or take lessons to change AoA? What are you doing Dan?
Ray Farrell take a lesson I think, that’s my issue too but I wouldn’t want an unforgiving driver for the sake of a few yards
"Watched it with the kids.....had to turn it off" 🤣😂🙈
Brilliant
G400LST best driver of past 10 years.
That sound!!!!
great video lads - now away to watch Flash Gordon - cough cough
Any guesses on the next Callaway driver name? Rogue Lantern? Rogue Manimal? Rogue Beastmaster? Rogue Thing? Come on folks! What’s your guess??
It was Flash Gordon and not Flesh Gordon you were watching? 😂
"Flesh Gordon" has a funkier 70's soundtrack.
Oh Flesh.
I would really like to see your ball speed number fellas?!
You forgot to mention the massive increase in flash face ball speed...
Would be good to get Lockey involved in a comparison test between this and the Rogue sub, jJust watch the magic happen. #beefcakeballssssss

They will be allowing you to pick from a few custom colors which is good.
Head cover is far worse
Gotta see it in person, videos don’t do it justice unfortunately
I'm starting to think that all future driver reviews should be based on: price, number of stock shaft options, adjustabilty, looks and sound characteristics. Everything else is pointless when dependant on the human interaction (sponsored or not 😋) .
Diall it in and the spin will drop. Simple
Does anyone else think the Epic Flash SZ looks a bit like the old FT-Tour at address?
are you sure you wernt watching flesh gordon ?
maybe im not right, but i think Flash is more of DC Flash than Flash Gordon ... lightning and speed etc. :) About the drivers ... i dont like the colors :(
what with super computers and fast faces i wonder if tm have bought out callaway and no one knows
8:38 Lockey Air Force member, surely?
Why go high pitched in noise when every driver on the market is heading toward the more mute carbon noise? The muted is much more appealing, and much friendlier on the ears when we hit the good ol rock.... I mean range balls.
Definitely got a higher pitched ting
Not as low spinning for a Sub Zero because the front weight is only 2g.
Shifting weights? Seem to remember a video about that the other day by some bloke doing dodgy drawings.....
#263 YESSS !!Achievement unlocked... omg Definitely worth the million dollar Super Computer.. Take my ~$600+ Canadian Monopoly money NOW
Ts3 still the winner
Callaways computers must have thought of the name as well. What where they thinking?
Well looks like they were thinking about the best selling, highest ball speed driver of 2019.
Oh... Flash my face! Not for me, too flashy. I'm preferring a no nonsense, no gimmicks, twist my face M4 😂😂😂
If you want to draw it more naturally, then move the weight towards the heal a bit more. If you want to fade it, move the weight more towards the toe. Problem solved. Also I believe Mark is striking the ball too much and too soon, towards the left. In other words he is releasing too soon and needs to get his release about 20° more past the ball.
Did you watch the video or not.
Your tip is very confusing and in no way needed 👍
@@MarkCrossfield I did watch the entire video. But my tip still stands, you are releasing too early.
too many people are obsessed with super low spin.
First epic SZ is still the best driver ever
I definitely prefer fj to ua!
I just have to say it, feels different watching your reviews ever since you sold out to Titleist. Maybe just me....
Todd Sincock “Brilliant Callaway club” right off the bat, but if you just HAVE to say it....🙄
Pilotgolfer 84 I just can't get over it, not the same reviews as before when Mark was truly unbiased. You don't think Rick Shiels has been offered deals? He knows in order to maintain credibility and remain unbiased he must stay neutral and not get bought.
Having said that, love the course vlogs and why I tune in still...
It's just you
In what way?! He's arguably more unbiased than anyone on youtube. It is just you II'm afraid.
Griffin Englander yep, just me. Oh, and Rick Shiels too...
263 possibly 😳
SOOOOOO LOUD. Not a chance I'd play that. When all drivers are long, I'd simply pick a quieter option.
Flash in the pan, burn in the wallet.
Seems that mark lost some weight
Almost pointless for Mark to test drivers #262
Or is that THE point 😉
Sounds horrible.. Wouldn't game it just on that reason.. But looks 🔥🔥🔥
#EpicMyFlash
Really loud vs epic gen 1
well you love yourself bit to much for me
Oh no, do t hate yourself bruh. You are brilliant
SO LOUD!!!!
Not another driver review 😴😴
Sorry don't mean to be rude but I'm all driver reviewed out
This will be one of the best selling clubs of 2019, and you are complaining about too many reviews? Go watch something else then, instead of complaining.
Best selling but not nesciserally the best.if your gullible enough to swallow all this bullshit crack on
Necessarily*
