46 inches holy hell
X2hot and GBB had 46 inch shafts too, if i remember correctly.
Callaway is the king of marketing...they are using the same type of marketing TM did a few years ago. I don't see anybody touching either of these until the new Titleist 919 drivers come out. By then, Callaway will most likely have released another driver, maybe 2...

I am on the fence. It almost seems like a war between TM and Callaway while all the others sit back and watch. Granted I have TM drivers and just ordered an Epic driver, but each one is getting so gimmicky it’s ridiculous. I think the name Epic helped Callaway, but how do you top the name Epic. Also with TM and “Twist Face”....come on. It sounds like a bunch of middle school bullies came up with that. Sorry to be negative, but I think the names and gimmicks are getting crazy.
There are some (most) doing it wrong where Callaway is doing it right. Hype is manufactured in many ways, and Callaway is basically the only company shocking the world right now.
Titleist lovers will continue to operate the way they have (and respectfully, they've come a long way since 913).
TaylorMade seems lost in mixed messages and crazy instability.
Ping is Ping and always will be Ping.
And then there are the countless other options that simply don't reach enough ears or hands to take a real stab. Callaway has laid the groundwork on how you take a listless brand and make it something special, and I think pretty much any company can follow suit to a certain extent, but it takes great people, great writing, great stories, and a hell of a lot of hard work to get there.
In 2018? I find it very hard for anyone to catch up to the Callaway social media / hype monster for sure....
"More ball speed" was heard everywhere I feel...similar to TMs "Rocketballzier" slogan when the RBZ and RBZ S2 were staples in peoples bags....
Now if TM steps up / fixes their social media game, promote Twist Face in a unique way and continue to push the TP5 ball line, I think next year they might have a shot...

Here's something interesting about social media. A lot of people love what Callaway does and not so much what other companies like TM, Bridgestone, Titleist although once the event was announced with them last years opinions started changing. Not saying it's right, wrong, good, bad or anything but looking purely at the number of followers especially when some like to us them as judgements for moving the needle Callaway is lagging behind in the number of followers compared to TM and Titleist.

Titleist 371k/551k
Callaway 327k/404k
TaylorMade 471k/508k
As Ive mentioned in above post....A lot of the Epic success has not just been marketing hype imo but a lot has come from real feedback from amateurs and fitters alike and fairly wide spread. Its certainly cought the attention of a lot of people who don't normally chase hype and are ending up in those bags as well.
Number of followers isn’t the only relevant stat though. I follow a lot of companies. Doesn’t mean their social media has any impact on my day to day.
Obviously equipment performance is paramount. But social media helps with the outreach...."If" ball speed is also heard about everywhere for them as well. But its also been about maintaining distances on mishits too. I think its going to be a matter of the other brands producing their versions of jail break. Not so much to copy it but to produce (in tier own tech) the same gains regardless what it looks like.
Just because one has alot of followers doesn't mean they put out good content and people like them.... Look at the Kardashians who have millions of followers but their content is garbage (imo)... The zoo crew is a force to be reckoned with which helps tremendously....Here's something interesting about social media.

In a sense yes. Also people follow or like things to see if / when they screw up.....A lot of followers generally means that person or thing is well liked.
Interesting. Curious what Facebook is, since it is still the king of social media. I would guess similar ratio. Although I still think engagement and message matters more than just followers, since companies run parallel with the same people following all.
I’m partial to Facebook since I’ve been on it from the time you had to have a college email address, but I agree with you. I enjoy the interaction that some other social media offers. If you get a legit answer from someone “important” or famous it makes you feel good.
Edit: I agree with a post earlier responding to mine. I believe the Jailbreak tech is the real deal.
And I also agree that Callaway is the king of social media right now. Not just limited to Facebook/Twitter/instagram. Just listen to the pirate ship show and you’ll see

yea I think human nature causes us to follow and be attracted to what we like but also just as much what we don't. I hate snakes with a passion yet I couldn't stop from watching. its curiosity I think more than anything and for some reason we can be every bit as curious about what we don't like as what we do. strange, no?In a sense yes.
