THEY SAY 

Our Epic Flash Star hybrids are the ultimate easy-to-launch replacement for long-irons. Featuring Internal Jailbreak bars, which stiffen and stabilise the crown and sole, placing higher impact load to the face to promote fast ball speed. Forged from 455 Carpenter steel which combines with Face Cup technology to create a high COR face that promotes fast ball speed across a massive portion of the face.

I SAY

This is an innovative and stylish hybrid that looks very classy. It sits really square behind the ball, making aiming easy. I found the Epic Flash Star really fast off the face, adding distance to my approach shots. It gave me a flight that was very powerful and my mishits didn’t lack distance either. It was particularly impressive on my recovery shots from various lies. The combination of the straight leading edge and the clever sole design popped the ball up and out of trouble nicely.
