We brought you news on Nov. 25 that three Epic models hit the USGA’s conforming club list, so it’s no surprise to see Callaway set a release date.
We’re guessing the brief snippet of marketing material in the tweet, which has something of a horror movie feel, is emphasizing the “Jailbreak Technology” in the driver face.
Callaway also linked this page, where you can use a magnifying glass-esque tool for a look at the weapon.
Golfers can also sign up to test and review the driver (sorry, you don’t get to keep it) through the link as well.

This means that the Epic will be 3 months old when it is officially released. Based upon the various golf blog sites, it appears that more people have already demoed the Epic than purchased the entire Srixon driver line last year. Indeed, with so many Epics out and about, I would not be surprised to see them on Ebay prior to 1/27/2017.
