This high-tech face gets a boost in stability from Callaway’s Jailbreak technology, which made its debut in the original Epic. Where we have become fairly familiar with face technology that puts the thickest part of the face in the center of the clubface, Callaway’s Flash Face does that but also adds another couple rings of ridges, bumps and depressions, all designed by AI to maximize ball speed across the entire face. Images of the face more resemble some sort of high tech imaging of barometer readings around the eye of a hurricane or possibly the moment just after a raindrop lands in an oblong container of water. Even better, the computers “learned” from each attempt and used that information to improve the design. Using these technologies allowed Callaway to evaluate some 15,000 iterations of the face, while a typical driver goes through 5-7 virtual prototypes.

Watch out for Skynet! Callaway used artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to design the clubface of the new Epic Flash.

Heck, maybe the teal color scheme didn’t appeal to golfers as well as the Epic’s green.īut Jailbreak truly delivered in both drivers, so when Callaway started to talk about adding its AI-designed Flash Face technology to a new Epic, we couldn’t wait to tee it up. Maybe Epic owners didn’t want to upgrade their $500 drivers that quickly. It was an improvement over the Epic in terms of forgiveness and was a very good driver ( we liked it), but it didn’t fly off shelves the way that the Epic had. Understandably, Callaway sold a ton of drivers. It introduced a new design concept, Jailbreak, that paid noticeable benefits on the course.
