At the Fitting Room, our episodes with Tour Players are some of our favorites since we always learn something new from the best players in the world. We were lucky enough to get some time with Kevin Na earlier this year fresh off his big win at the 2021 Sony Open and we go deep into his winning bag, his red hot putter, and his process for testing and evaluating new equipment.

Description of podcast - This year there are three New Epic Driver models, all fast, all forgiving...so which one really is right for you? In this episode of the Fitting Room the team puts all three drivers head to head to head to head. Same loft, same shaft, same Opti-Fit configuration to see what the performance and tendencies of each club are. The results were pretty interesting and definitely surprised us.

The secret menu items at a restaurant are always the best. So we thought...what if we could bring that same concept to our Apex Combo set offerings? Sure, the classic "Mixed set" of Apex and Apex Pro has been available in the past, but with the addition of the Apex DCB and Apex MB the possibilities become a little more interesting. And thanks to Callaway's Director of Fitting and Player Performance, Michael Vrska, we took our combo set offerings to the next level. There are FOUR (!) combo sets on the (not so secret) menu this year, the Mixed, the Player, The Sweet Spot, and The Triple Play. In this episode of the Fitting Room we break each set down, the thinking behind them, which kind of player each set was designed for, and how we uniquely spec'd out each set.

Earlier this year, we went through the new Apex Irons and broke down each model, the design profile, and in general which player is each model designed for. For many reasons, we wanted to put our hypothesis to the test and see what happens to perfomance when one player hits all three irons. So Nate, D-Nevs, and Producer Tyler went to the Ely Callaway Performance Center and hit each head built to their respective specs to evaluate the performance and tendencies of each club...and the results offered some real surprises.

Description of podcast - The White Hot insert is perhaps the most legendary and renown putter face insert of all time. It's two-part urethane insert that achieves an almost mythical combination of feel, sound, and performance. It has been the gold standard for putter inserts for 20+ years on Tour and is still the preferred insert of the best in the world. There's also a good chance you have a white hot putter stashed in the garage somewhere.The release of the new White Hot OG line this year is one of the biggest equipment stories in the putter category for 2021 and in this episode of the Fitting Room, we sit down with Sean Toulon and Luke Williams from Team Odyssey to dig into the new line, covering the classic head-shapes, insert performance, the new premium finish, and the shaft options that will have you rolling in some extra feet of putts this year.

Description of podcast - Last year the MAVRIK Fairway Woods were considered to be the golden standard of high ball speed fairway woods. So when we got early testing back that showed the new Epic Speed Fairways we're 7.2 yards longer (!) than MAVRIK, we knew we would have to dig into these bruiser's on the Fitting Room. There are two Epic Fairway models this year, the Epic Speed and Epic Max, in this episode we run you through the tech, specs, and best way to set these fairway woods up for maximum performance in your bag.

But with three unique Epic head models, we wanted to give you a deep dive into the tech, performance characteristics, and specs+options, so by the end of this podcast you know exactly which Epic Driver you should be gaming.

Our listeners wanted it, so we delivered. In this episode of the Fitting Room we put the latest trend on tour to the test.

In this edition of the Fitting Room we bring you a Distance Fitting in action. We recently ran a contest with AmatuerGolf.com to give a lucky winner a brand new set of X Forged Irons, but in Fitting Room fashion, we had to make sure our winner was fully dialed in, so Nate and John Mlynarski took Nathan Lee through a Callaway Distance Fitting to make sure he is locked in next time he gets out on course.Tune in to hear how a Distance Fitting works, and how Callaway Master Fitters can fit you for new sticks over the phone.

This week the Fitting Room tackles one of the hottest trends in equipment, longer driver shafts. On TOUR over the last few months we have seen more than a handful of players ditch the usual 45in length shaft, trying longer length options in the search for more ball speed and distance. We dig in to this new trend, the pros and the potential cons, build considerations, and if this is a trend that is here to stay.  Thinking about trying it out?

Description of podcast - Graphite irons shafts dominate the lightweight market and are a popular choice for higher handicappers. But graphite has yet to become a serious consideration for better players. But that is starting to change and we are starting to see better player offerings like the new Callaway X Forged CB coming out with high performance graphite irons shafts as a stock option. So we wanted to talk to the experts and get the scoop on Graphite Irons shafts for the low handicapper. In this episode of the Fitting Room, Nate is joined by Avery Reed and Tod Boretto of MCA GOLF to discuss the MMT shaft, the latest in graphite iron technology, and the performance benefits better players might see when switching to a graphite iron shaft.
