Callaway Golf has presented its new driver, the Great Big Bertha Epic Sub Zero, a real paradigm shift regarding driver performance on the Tour.

“Tour drivers generally offer the best performance. Most players want speed, low spin and control - at the expense of forgiveness ”said Dr. Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research at Callaway, "The combination of GBB Epic Sub Zero and the synthesis of performance and tolerance, it marks a breakthrough in driver engineering. "

The power of the Epic Sub Zero is based on the new innovative Jailbreak technology from Callaway, which fundamentally changes the behavior of the club face at impact for deliver more ball speed and distance. On impact, the face of Metalwood flexes and the crown increases upwards while the sole is gaining volume downwards. Bars jailbreak form the connection closes between the crown and the sole to prevent their flexion. That puts more dump upon impact on the face. Physicists call that the lens energy. ».

“Jailbreak technology is creating real change by improving the work between the face, crown and sole to deliver greater ball speed through more surface area for a better considerably increased distance », said Hocknell.

The head of the Epic Sub Zero is made of aerospace-grade Exo-Cage Titanium equipped with a crown and unique panels in triaxial carbon, the extraordinary lightness and the robustness of the composite materials developed by Callaway. 50% for the surface of the head consists of triaxial carbon. The crown weighs only 10,8 g, the panels just 7.4G. Weight saved is strategically repositioned to create a rise extraordinarily high from MOI (Moment of inertia).

Two interchangeable weights (12g and 2g) positioned at the front and rear of the sole, which can be used in tandem with the Optifit hosel, give players the flexibility to adjust the spin rate, hit and the MOI.

Only the unique head design of the Epic Sub Zero allows Callaway engineers to position a low, deep center of gravity in line with the neutral axis of the head, which is defined as line who cuts the geometric center from the front, perpendicular to the lofts. The location of the CG, and especially CG height, is often ensured in relation to theneutral axis.

The head benefits from the speed boost of Callaway's Speed ​​Step technology. Designed under the guidance of aerospace experts, the Speed ​​Step, located on the crown, improves aerodynamics for more speed and distance.

" The engineers de Callaway paid attention particular to shape, aesthetics and acoustics to make Epic Sub Zero a beautiful object to watch and pleasant to listen to »said Hocknell. " The form inspired by the Tour is elegant and inspires confidence. The visible triaxial carbon weave on the rear half of the crown, and the green reflections vibratory on the head, the shaft and the grip, create together appearance dynamic from all angles ».

Four Premium shafts, proven on the Tour, are available, all designed to offer combination exceptional of speed, power, feel and control.

The Great Big Bertha Epic Sub Zero driver will available at retailers nationwide starting January 27, 2017, at a suggested retail price of 549 €.
