- Taylormade M6 vs Callaway Epic Flash - MID HANDICAP TEST! 2019 has seen the launch of some hot property in the golfing world! The Taylormade M6 and the Callaway Epic Flash, both of which have counterpart drivers in the Taylormade M5 and The Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero, which offer lower spin models for the (better players) for me this leaves the M6 and Epic Flash right where we want it... in the hands of our Mid Handicap Tester Mark. Marks been looking for a new driver over the last few months as he is wanting to hit the ball further off the tee, hit more fairways and lower his handicap. Theres no better way to do that than hitting the longest driver ever right? Which is the best driver for Mid handicap golfers in 2019? lets find out... and lets do it now!

Been loving all your reviews James - probably the best of the ones I've been watching - this just adds another dimension! Nice one!
Love the vids with Mark. Thanks for these!! And thank goodness, the beard is BACK!!!
Great content James. Watching from Tamworth Australia. Thanks for what you do really helping me appreciate golf even more. Don't apologise for the humour it's all good and the stuff you do with Mark is entertaining and insightful.
The look on Marks face when he was straight lining the TM6 was priceless.... I bet your considering putting that club in your bag... Great review James
Obviously we need to see all the comparisons for Mark. Love the videos. Keep up the gr8 content. Cheers
Great review. M6 dispersion is a huge factor for me. Appreciate all the good work you do. Thnx.
James, I really enjoy your channel.
Good humoured and down to earth.
Your tester Mark hits the ball extremely well for a mid handicapper??
Can't wait to test the M6 myself.
Great video again James I really enjoy the club testing you do and thank you to TaylorMade for bring out so many clubs I just bought the m4 for a £170 new another 7 months and I’ll buy the m6 for £170 when they bring out something else 😁👍
I love these “mid handicapper” reviews!
Let’s set aside for a moment that there are clear signs, in the numbers, that Mark can do much better than he did with Epic Flash if he got properly fit for it...
It’s clear, that The M6 was the better option for him, at least today! Sometimes, the wand chooses the wizard! I was half expecting Mark’s hair to start blowing in the wind, a soft white light to envelop him and some eerie music to start playing in the background out of nowhere.... after that first Drive!
Mark’s swing is looking smooth too!
That was great review! especially, mid handcap..!
Thanks for the review..
Great H2H Guys with some impressive numbers. Though Mark's club head speed was lower with the M6 it produced an amazing 1.47 Smash Factor, WOW! Also the dispersion of the M6 was way tighter, I suspect this was helped by the M6 having a higher MOI than the Flasher!
Really looking forward to Mark testing the rest of the 2019 Driver offerings and would like to see him hitting the 3Woods and the new Callaway Apex and Apex Pro which look stunning!
Mark does a great job. We need to have him on every test!!!
Good stuff James! I really enjoy these mid hc reviews, as I don’t have a ton in common with the guys hitting it 270+ carry 👍
Great review. I enjoyed watching this format as Mark’s swing characteristics are similar to mine.
Really like having the mid handicapper testing along with your testing James
Great starting point... I completely agree, on the course is the key!
Love the content thank you again!!!
Great out of the box review!
Personally love all the “Boxing Glove” headcovers, what’s your problem James?
Looking forward to M5 & SZ review
great review! and your mid hcp tester is really good!
Thanks Tomas :)
Love your blogs James, keep going you good thing.!!!!
Hope to see Mark compare flash sub zero and m5 also. Interesting results!
Very informative thx James I do have high spin on driver so something that reduces it will help more but am torn so much
Great vid James. I love watching Mark the Mid ?? handicap tester. Chocolate Hob Nobs
It looked like his swing got progressively better the more shots he took.Thanks for the video
Class video once again 👍🏻
By the time he gets the Taylormade in the bag they will have come out with three more new drivers 😂 being serious though, another great video. I always enjoy seeing Mark in your videos.
Fantastic video well done guy.s
Best review I have seen in a long time. Nice shots Mark. Going back to hit the Flash after warming up would be a good validation. Shut the nay sayers... Can’t wait for the M6/M5 comparison. Great video James!
Great comparison , love to see him hit them on course some time too. Weather permitting of course
Saturday morning at the cinema as a kid was awesome 😊
Great stuff as always. Love the mid hcp testing! Please do more of it in all shapes.
P.s. The Epic Flash looks horrible. Just my thought. D.s.
What a cracking driver test from Mark,I would love to see Mark do a head to head against his current driver
Interesting. I just tried these two clubs and the M6 felt so much better ⛳️👌🏌️♀️
The address look of the Taylormade club face is so inviting.
Off to try cobra F9 and TS2 and cobra ST 190 and ping 410
I know there’s a lot of low handicap golfers who probably enjoy pros testing the clubs but it has a lot more meaning to see the “mid handicap “ golfer testing- I really think you should change the name of your vlogs to mid handicap golfer.......looking forward to the test with cheap cobra f9 more!!
Well done guys. Again, cant get enough of Mid cap Mark. I think most would like to see Mark compare these to his current gamer. Mich
I couldnt agree with this decision more. Digestives are clearly the best biscuits!
YESSSSS
Ray: that is madness i tell you! Madness!! 😂
Rich tea...the most boring of biscuits in Christendom. Snoozeville.
Gazza: decent dunkers but no digestive!
Nice review: which lofts and shafts were used?? Thanks
Excellent review.
James I know that I'm just watching this video post now at June 9th, but I'd like to see this same test again with Mark and see if he seems to be hitting the Taylormade just a well, sometimes I would like to see a do over either weeks or months later just to see if things will match up again. Thanks for the video post, I don't always have time to get to them when they hit the net, but they are always informative with I do get to them.
that's a great swing mark!
Epic Flash hands down! Got me a whole set (1, 3, 5 and 7).
Mark Crossfield did the same 2 clubs ,with a slightly different result .Liked both reviews .Just goes to prove there is no better club for everyone. Just a better one for YOU! Like the channel James.
Great video mate good work on doing a video a day
Very informative, thanks Mark and James, the consistency with the M6 was very impressive
I was just curious though, from what I could see, it looked like the ball flight height for the 2 longer drives of 257 and 258 were both the lowest heights at about about 113 feet, is it usual that longer drives with today's drivers achieve longer drives with lower ball flight like that?
Good videos as usual but if your going to do a mid handicap test (which I love btw) maybe have his current driver/club numbers up for comparison to see actual improvement or not
I tried both on a fitting and I got on better with the Epic Flash which is now in my bag , both were set in different settings by the fitter and I went with the Callaway but it’s what you connect with on the day sometimes .
Nice to see Mark testing them as a mid handicapper. Most of us can relate to his numbers rather than watching other you tube guys bombing drives 320+yds! I still think the manufacturers need to wise up, it's getting out of hand with the equipment changes and prices. Probably out of most people's price bracket and I suspect not a great deal better than older models!
Would love to see mid handicap review of M6 vs Cobra F9, I’m a cobra man myself, would like to see what new tech is doing for us
Great video guys well done, James I’m just wandering when Mark was doing testing last outdoors the best driver for him was the titleist ts3 and he was carrying it 205 with run out to 235, he is carrying the m6 240ish, has his swing speed gone up or was it something to do with testing outdoors last time?
good stuff! can you please suggest or recommend non oem shafts with weight and flex for that kind of swing speed (95-105 mph) for both flash and m6?
Dispersion on the M6 was siiiiiiiick!
Nice review , but I think you should do 5 swing with one club , 5 swings with other club , go Back to first club ( being he's a bit more warmed up ) and hit 5 more shots , then go back and do 5 shots with 2nd club , then average out numbers . I think it would a better more fair test honestly . You don't have to show all shots just a couple on both rounds .
He sure hit that TM well but would he of hit the Flush any better the second time ? Just food for thought James , Keep up the good work ! 👍
Wish I lived nearer because I would love to test out the latest Drivers as a high handicapper. And I am on the look out for a new driver (in case you have a spare xxx)
Stunned by the consistency of the M6 but I really don’t like the look of the sole of it. Would it be possible to mix up the order of the shots? 3 or 4 balls with each but alternating between the drivers. Can’t help but feel Mark was “loosened up” after hitting the Epic and maybe skewing the results?
11:07: "You could throw a mouse's blanket over all those." :-) Subscribing just for more metaphors like that in future. :-) Keep up the good work chaps.
Hahaha thanks mate
Hey great review.... what loft and shaft did Mark used in the M6
Are the data from Flight Scope reliable in comparison to Trackman and GC Quad? I've heard quite a lot of people slacking FS off.
They are both great clubs I prefer the m6 but it’s all about your preference!
Cool vibe in that studio. You still in that studio James?
Got fitted for the flash the other day (75g low spin shaft ) was hitting 300 carry ,straight in the bag
I’ve used both, got my longest drive ever with the epic flash, but was hitting the m6 pretty much dead straight every time. Didn’t lose a single ball off the tee with it, which is saying a lot when it comes to me 😂
Now that was good. Think I need to pop down to the local golf pros to see what they have.
Good video Have you got a f9 to compare them to also
Hi James, just another couple of high promotion high promise drivers! If I were fitted for a driver correctly last year, then why within six months would I need to consider another £500 driver?
Is it the big claims as always with distance and forgiveness that attracts?
In my opinion if everyone knocks their drives as good as the distance claims then we'd never need half the irons we carry? Our bags would be a lot lighter with Just a driver, a utility/rescue/hybrid/driving iron, 6 iron, 8 iron P Wedge, S Wedge, putter!
Well if I couldn't afford the old epic driver i was fitted for I'm sure there's going to be plenty second hand ones next week.
Keep it up James be nice to see a high handicappers testing with you
Love to see a matchup TS3 versus FLASH Subzero vs M5.... let’s do it now!
Good review how about Titleist ts2 test for a mid handicapper against the callaway rogue ?
Another tick in the m6 box for me. Can't wait to try it my love affair and desire to get a m3/m4 is fading fast. But how sexy is the epic flash. Ahhh golf ewuipment was alot more simple when I was happy with hand me downs 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Lovely video
Good test but I would like to see the difference with the driver mark uses at the moment
Coming soon
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Get him to hit the M6 first then his old one though! Otherwise your warming up with the old club, I suspect thats why he hit M6 better here! Need to do 5x then swap and then swap again. Maybe even repeat the test another day but start with the other club then do an average alot of effort I know but would give a much better idea of how each club actually performs then. Thanks
Sean your alright Sean, I trust the test we did. Fully warmed up. Thanks for your concern though
The Epic Flash head cover is hideous!! The M6 head cover is much, much nicer!
But they are both boxing gloves!
End of competition!
😝
I’ll post again once I finish watching the review!
😝😝😝
More of this please
Funny how the base of the club influences impression of a club. When you hit it you look at the crown 🤔 I suppose the manufacturer focuses on the sole as that's how clubs are displayed. Maybe if clubs were displayed differently you would get mad crown designs.
would like to see Mark do an on course test of the M6.
Impressive the fact Mark hasn't been fitted for either club. Well done!
Great vid james can u test with a high handicapper 😉
That TaylorMade 😍 what shall I be taking to las Colinas??
Coffee and Bourbons, awesome. Only way to beat that is a big mug of tea and a double pack of Viscounts. ;)
hi James which new 2019 driver has the biggest sweet spot
I am sure we will see him compare the Sub Zero vs the M5. Would also like to see his stats on the club he is playing now then the new ones.
Would had been fun if he started his first 5 shots of the day with the Taylormade to see if still would had been this straight :D
James how old is your studio?
Good video, but I would have liked to see him hit the flash again after he was swinging well with the M6.
Swings were noticeably better with the TM. biggest thing is spin clearly. I would guess the shaft is a big factor here. Can we see a test from James with same shaft?
Just bought a m6 today with the evenflow 45g Im averaging 300-305 carry its ridiculous and even on off center hits There is no spray the twist face is remarkably good. Coming from a r11s Im getting 50 yards longer.
Fantastic dispersion
Good test James but how about testing reasonably priced clubd to suit a 20 hcp ? 👍😎
These clubs are good for a 20 hdcp
@@downsouth1678 reasonably priced
Did Mark warm up before the first hit with the flash, if not does that explain why the tm went better as he was warmed up and had in a good timing zone? Cheers and keep up the great work.
Yes mate we were three videos in at this point. Well oiled! Lol
🤣🤣🤣👍🍺
Ok Callaway Epic AND Callaway Epic Flash Challenge.... 👍👍 LETS DO IT!!!! Both Sub Zeros
I’d like to see head to head M4 vs. M6 and M3 vs. M5
The longer distances on the m6 were just better strikes so higher smash factor. Focus for people should be their swing and technique rather than which of the virtually identical drivers can suddenly make them better at golf
Chris Dixon and James has a solution for that on his website, online lessons for subscribers. Genius
ya his swing looked alot better with the m6. suddenly he looked like a pro golfer lol wink wink
I’m not doubting the validity of the video or even that one club can work marginally better than another for someone or sit nicer with their eye etc so they strike it better. All I’m saying is don’t think it’s a magic stick just because it worked better than the other one you tested on the day, have some awareness of the figures and how much was pilot error. Buying a club over another one based on it going further when the strikes weren’t equivalent is just silly. Not a dig at James or the mid handicap guy just a general comment to a lot of people to have some awareness of what the numbers tell you about YOU and the club
@@chrisdixon2843 Exactly right. The TM had a lower ball speed with better strikes that the Callaway with poorer strikes. The higher spin generated because of the poorer strikes resulted in the shorter overall distance for the Epic. If he'd struck them the same I'd put money on the Callaway flying further because the lower spin would fly better
James for driver have you ever considered senior testing us retired folks play a lot swing speed downa around 85-90 mph really need to maximize distance off tee. Also M6 looks really similar to Cobra speedback at bottom of clib with the elongated tapered center towards the rear.
any thoughts. Stop wearing Alex E's hand me downs!
cheers from Norcal
James you have to get another Mid Handicap golfer, as Mark seems to play like a high single figure player than a Mid Handicapper, which I see as 13-18. Don't let a little bit of rain put you off it was 45*C here yesterday. From all of the reviews on RUclips I could not see myself purchasing one, as they do not seem to have a price difference rational to performance of last years offerings.....
No mate I don’t.
Interesting stuff, would like to see this type of vid including a screen shot of Mark’s data from current driver... assuming that’s a recent one that’s fitted...?
M2 fitted a few years back. More videos on this coming
Cheers James Robinson Golf - think it would be good to see him hit 5 on m2 and 5 on m6 with the shaft and settings from the m2...
Would've been funny to see Mark walking out the door with the shaft of the driver tucked into his trouser leg, and the head of the club peeking out of the top of his jumper!
Shows that you need to be fitted as drivers particularly for non pros vary considerably, just trying one make can be restricting your golf.
Could the differences come down to the shaft?
WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM ALL!
So the driver that's advertised to produce faster ball speeds (M6) produces the slower ball speed of the two. And the driver advertised with improved distance (flash) because of their Ai created face is the shorter than the two.
Slower swing speed can do that!
@@ITS_BOBBY47 I like to call it what it is. Marketing bullshit.
Purely down to spin rate caused by strike. The TM smash factor and lower spin suggests he was striking it better and had more optimal spin. The Callaway had a faster ball speed from poorer strikes but 600 rpm higher spin. Strike it better and the spin will come down and it would be longer
Ball speed of the clubface is limited by the R & A. Its all marketing bullshit.🤣😅
@@nipplefishdigweed5839 Exactly! Yet people are still convinced that each year their new driver gives them an extra 10yrds despite the club faces being at the limits of the regulations for years.
good review but wish you would alternate 5 shots Callaway, 5 Shots TM, 5 Shots Callaway, 5 Shots TM... He seemed cold at the beginning of the test but as he gets limber, would expect shots to improve. I would have expected to see some better shots from the callaway had he reverted back to it..
Love my m6, so forgiving
