In case you missed it, here are the biggest Callaway equipment notes on Tour, including a record-setting debut for JAWS MD5 Wedges and more global Tour domination for Epic Flash and Odyssey:
A Big Opening Week For JAWS MD5 (27 In Play At The Safeway Open)
JAWS MD5 Wedges officially launched on the PGA Tour this week at the Safeway Open, and 27 of these wedges immediately went into play for the event. That’s the biggest Tour launch ever for a Callaway wedge, and already players like Francesco Molinari, Henrik Stenson, Marc Leishman, Tom Lewis, and Si-Woo Kim, among many others are using JAWS MD5 in competition.
Crafted by Callaway Chief Designer Roger Cleveland, JAWS MD5 is designed to create the most aggressive grooves in golf, led by a new JAWS groove design with innovative Groove-in-Groove Technology for exceptional spin. The JAWS groove utilizes an extremely sharp edge radius that works with our proven Groove-in-Groove Technology to impart more spin for precise control.
Another Big Week For Epic Flash
Epic Flash is in position for another big weekend. Earlier today, Callaway staffer Carlotta Ciganda won on the Ladies European Tour with an Epic Flash Driver in the bag, and right now on the LPGA Tour the leader at the Indy Women in Tech is pulling away from the field with an Epic Flash Driver. The player in second place and two of the players who are T3 at the LPGA event are also using Epic Flash, and each of these players are non-staffers who play the driver strictly based on performance. There are 42 Epic Flash driver models in play at the Indy Women in Tech, making it the #1 driver model in the field by far.
Callaway is once again the #1 Driver Brand by far this week across the major worldwide Tours – we’re the #1 Driver at the European, LPGA, Champions, JGTO and JLPGA events this week – and it starts with the performance and popularity of our Epic Flash Drivers. Epic Flash continues to be the #1 driver model across the major worldwide Tours, and it’s the #1 selling driver brand in the U.S. (per Golf Datatech). It features our Flash Face Technology, which we created using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, to promote faster ball speeds.
Odyssey Wins Count On Every Tour (Again)
Once again, Odyssey is the #1 Putter on every major Tour this week, including at the Safeway Open. And on the European Tour, we have more than twice as many putters in play than any other brand. Odyssey continues to be the #1 Putter on every Tour in 2019, we’re #1 by far in worldwide wins, and we were the #1 Putter at every PGA, LPGA, and Champions Tour major this year. All this success is led in large part by our Stroke Lab Putters, featuring our innovative multi-material Stroke Lab shaft to improve the consistency and tempo in your stroke.
