Callaway unveils new Epic Super hybrid
Callaway Golf has today introduced its new Epic Super hybrid, which will hit retail on September 9.
Billed by Callaway as its “fastest ball speed hybrid ever,” the new hybrid features an all-titanium Flash Face, with a titanium body combined with the brand’s Jailbreak A.I. Velocity Blades in design to provide ultimate ball speed, distance, and launch.
The new hybrid from Callaway contains the brand’s Jailbreak A.I. Velocity blades which stiffen the body in design to allow the face to flex for maximum ball speed.
The addition of extreme tungsten weighting (up to 90 grams) located toward the club’s perimeter aims to create a potent combination of low CG and high-MOI for a high, powerful, and stable ball flight.
Like a driver, the Epic Super hybrids are outfitted with total adjustability from the brand’s OptiFit three hosel while offering adjustable sole weighting for precise custom builds.
Specs, Pricing & Availability
Lofts: 16, 18, 21, 24, and 27 degrees

Rickie Fowler’s new putter: Standard-length Odyssey Jailbird 380 in custom orange
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

As others have commented… $400 for a hybrid!?! ? That’s a bold strategy Cotton. At some point consumers just have to say NO.
