Sam Burns captured his second career PGA Tour victory on Sunday at the 2021 Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson. The 25-year-old Callaway staffer uses a bag full of Callaway equipment, including a new Epic Speed driver, Apex TCB irons, and an Odyssey O-Works putter that he’s had in the bag for years.

Below, we dive into the winning clubs, shafts and golf ball that Burns used this week.

Driver: Callaway Epic Speed (Fujikura Ventus Blue 7X shaft), 10.5 degrees

Callaway Epic Speed Driver

$529.99
OUR TAKE: It’s good to have options. With Callaway’s new-look Epic Max and Epic Speed, testers found two equally appealing packages: One geared for those who need a bit more forgiveness and another for the better player craving a penetrating launch. “I could put both in the bag,” said a tester. “Both were fantastic on misses, and the flatter flight of the Speed was very consistent. I could totally see myself throwing in a strong-lofted Speed and Max 5-wood to launch it high. That sounds really appealing.” Don’t be surprised if other golfers follow suit. THE DETAILS: While the new Jailbreak system in the driver is sure to garner the most interest, it’s actually not the only club receiving a complete makeover. The Epic fairway woods feature Jailbreak A.I. Velocity Blades that are spread wider apart to stiffen the structure, allowing the C300 maraging steel face cup to flex at impact. The forward CG location on Epic Speed, combined with a new leading-edge design, promotes a strong ball flight with less spin. An oversized head and shallow face make Epic Max an ideal option for a wider handicap range. Launch and spin can be altered depending on where the two sole weights (2 and 14 grams) are positioned.
