Epic Flash Star Driver, Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Epic Forged Star Irons
Ultra-Premium Lightweight Performance
There’s no greater gift to a creative mind than the freedom to pursue “what if” without restrictions. The liberty to follow where imagination and analysis and algorithm lead without concern for deadline, disparagement or expense. Callaway gave that gift to its design and engineering team with a single caveat: Create an ultra-premium lightweight equipment line that helps slower swing speed players reach their maximum distance potential.
Make each club look, feel and behave like a high-end sports car: Sleek, beautifully shaped, packed with a suite of innovative performance technologies and features judiciously aligned to promote explosive speed and keen handling. Top-notch craftsmanship with a gleaming fit and finish guaranteed to catch the eye and satisfy the mind.
The team responded with Callaway’s new Epic Flash Star driver, fairway and hybrids and Epic Forged Star irons, equipment that sets the new standard for innovation in the ultra-premium lightweight category. A complete club line that succeeds on every level by combining cutting edge performance technologies, premium components and a drop-dead beautiful appearance.
These clubs incorporate a variety of proven distance-enhancing technologies that have helped make Callaway the #1 metalwood and iron in golf*. Innovative technologies like Flash Face, Jailbreak, and Face Cup that have helped golfers all over the world hit longer shots from tee to green.
Supplementing these technologies are a combination of ultra-premium, ultra-light shafts and grips that drastically reduce the total weight of these clubs compared to the average metalwood and iron. UST Mamiya’s ATTAS Speed graphite shafts, available exclusively in Japan up to now, offer the ultimate combination of ultra-lightweight and stability to a promote distance through fast swing speed, high-launch and low spin. Golf Pride’s thin and light JL00 (30g) and J200 (43g) grips save even more weight.
While competitors have focused on achieving ultra-lightweight in this category, Callaway has combined ultra-lightweight with serious distance-enhancing technologies.

Driver
The Epic Flash Star driver is a remarkable achievement in distance-enhancement. Fast ball speed is promoted by Callaway’s renowned Flash Face and Jailbreak technologies. Flash Face is an ultra-thin design created with the help of Artificial Intelligence to create fast ball speed on both center and off-center hits. Inside the head, Jailbreak Technology promotes increased ball speed with two internal bars that connect the crown to the sole, stabilizing and stiffening those two parts to allow the face to take on greater impact load to generate fast ball speed.
Additional swing speed is promoted by a premium ultra-lightweight shaft and grip combination: UST Mamiya’s ATTAS Speed 30-gram graphite shaft teams with Golf Pride’s 30-gram JL00 grip to make Epic Flash Star an astonishing 50 grams lighter than a standard Epic Flash driver – 266 grams vs. 316 grams. The driver’s extreme light weight helps slower swing speed players deliver the head solidly to the ball and square the face at impact with greater consistency, promoting distance and accuracy.
We also added a 13.5º loft offering to go with 10.5º and 12º, to help more players achieve distance-enhancing launch conditions. a distance-enhancing high launch angle.
Fairway Woods
Like the driver, Epic Flash Star fairway woods incorporate proven Callaway ball-speed-enhancing technologies, including Jailbreak and our renowned Face Cup technology, in which the ultra-thin rim of the face acts as a hinge that’s activated on off-center hits, promoting fast ball speed and long distance, especially on off-center hits. Significant weight is saved by the T2C triaxial carbon crown and fixed hosel. Lightweight components include a 40-gram ATTAS Speed shaft and choice of JL00 or J200 grip. The result is an ultralight, ultra-easy-to-launch and ultra-long-distance fairway wood available in 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 models.
Hybrids
Epic Flash Star hybrids are the ultimate easy-to-launch replacement for long-irons, as Jailbreak Technology works with the forged, ultra-thin, Carpenter 455 steel face and Face Cup technology to promote fast speed across a massive portion of the face. The perimeter-weighted head employs MIM’ed tungsten weighting technology to combine a super-low CG location with remarkable mis-hit stability. Choice of 40- or 50-gram ultralight ATTAS Speed graphite shafts and JL00 or J200 grip. Further weight is saved by the T2C triaxial carbon crown and fixed hosel.
Epic Flash Star hybrids’ combination of distance-enhancing technologies and speed-enhancing light weight should help golfers at every level launch faster and longer shots. And for the first time we’re extending the line by offering 7 and 8 hybrids to go along with the 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Irons
All we know about extracting maximum distance from an iron through the optimal combination of speed, spin and ball flight has gone into our new Epic Forged Star irons. Each forged 1025 carbon steel body is outfitted a high-COR, ultra-thin face equipped with our renowned 360 Face Cup technology. High, long-carrying flight comes from a carefully configured combination of powerful lofts and optimal CG placement specific to each iron. Extraordinary feel comes from wrapped Urethane Microsphere technology. We’ve increased the size of the urethane cartridge positioned behind the face and changed its composition, making it more efficient at absorbing vibration without slowing the face. The result is incredible feel without sacrificing ball speed.
In regard to appearance, Epic Forged Star irons are absolutely stunning. Sleek lines in a luxurious, multi-material finish called Infinite Black that screams premium and begs a player to take a closer look.
The women’s line of Epic Forged Star irons are engineered with a loft package and center of gravity progression specifically devised to promote trajectories that promote maximum carry and distance.
Everything We Know About Generating Distance
“Everything we know about helping golfers of all types generate more distance has gone into our new Epic Flash Star metalwoods and Epic Flash Star Forged irons,” said Dr. Alan Hocknell, head of R&D. “The combination of extremely light weight, fast face-speed and distance-enhancing CG locations should give any player immediate dividends in terms of added yardage. The saying ‘you get what you pay for’ applies to our new Epic Flash Star equipment. It costs more, but in return you get the absolute maximum in lightweight distance-enhancing design and technology.”
