I tried out an Epic Flash driver.   Most of the drivers I have hit, including my Callaway GBB, have a bit of a "click" to the sound.   This Epic Flash sounded like I was hitting a baked potato.  Just a flat "splat".  Ball flew ok, good control, only average distance.  Do all Epics sound like this?   Thanks !!!

Yes, it’s more of a muted sound like the Taylormade M5 and M6.  Not a metallic sound like you are describing.  It almost “feels” softer or more solid because of the sound.

The baked potato thing reminded me of something.

What ever happened to Ham and Egg on Golf?

It's the carbon sound/feel.  I personally like that feeling; never really liked the "tingy" sound/feel.  I actually preferred the feel of the Rogue as I found it gave more feedback, but I'm gaming the Epic Flash.  It's pretty good.

Not sure about your baked potatoes, but I overcook mine and get a nice "click".  Unless I accessorize it with too much sour cream.

Just bought an Epic Flash... got a good deal at Callaway Pre-Owned.

They call it a "carbony" sound.

I wanted to see a video of a guy hitting a baked potato with his Epic Flash. Count me as being disappointed.

Empirical evidence has yielded predictable results.  Cantaloupes are too highly dependent on ripeness plus the seeds get everywhere.  Tomatoes just don't work, messy.  Potatoes.... after 7 minutes in the microwave, very good to eat but still sound like cr@p.  

Regardless, the sound is still... fluffy, no click.  I bought it from Callaway so I have to assume it's "real" vs counterfeit.   Argh....  still sounds "weak".

Wondering if Emeril Lagasse could provide me with the correct video angles for smacking a baked potato?  And what effect sour cream, butter, green onions, cheese and bacon bits would have on the sound?

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
