Fairway Wood
Fairway Wood: Callaway GBB Epic (13.5 degrees)
Shaft: Aldila NV 2KXV Green 75TX
The name speaks for itself, the Callaway GBB Epic is one of Callaway’s most impressive fairway woods that they’ve produced. The incredibly light and strong triaxial carbon crown is 78% lighter than the common steel crown used in other woods. This frees up weight to increase MOI and lower the CG for easy launch and more power behind every hit. Callaway included their Hyper Speed Face Cup, which responds to off-center hits with more efficiency to promote faster speed across even more of the face. With assistance from aerospace experts, this new face cup works with a new aero-elliptical head shape. This new shape improves airflow, for faster swing speed and distance with little effort. The GBB Epic gives players the ability to switch the positions of the 22 gram and 3 gram weights in the sole. This adjustment can create lower launch, spin, and trajectory, or higher launch, spin, and trajectory. Callaway’s CBB Epic is a prime example how advanced science and precision machining can come together to produce an incredible fairway wood.
Key Features
- Reducing the crown’s weight by 78% increases MOI and lowers the CG for easier launches with more power.
