CALLAWAY MAVRIK SUB ZERO DRIVER REVIEW

[@MarkCrossfield]

Would you game a low spin driver?

[@Jsmudger]

Have a G400 LST now, superb bit o' kit, but i don't think it's as Lowspin as the Subs.

[@danieledge-smith4431]

Used to have my M3 set up low spin, (both weights forward). Loved it! Then tested and fell in love with the G410 SFT. Big time. Massive gains in distance and dispersion.

[@BANDANA960]

I'll be gaming the Mavrik Sub Zero end of next month. Gotta wait for the pennies to come in soon. Found it really really quick on off centre strikes versus my XR Speed. I put my gamer shaft in the black HZRDUS Handcrafted. Feels weightier and more muted than Epic Flash. Great club

[@keithfinley2939]

Hmmn TS3 is lowish spin... but those 1300rpm ones didnt seem part of its DNA

[@brettkajar9516]

Not a chance in the world, give up too much to gain too little for me. Tried them and just couldn't hit them well enough with consistency (yes I know - consistency comes or doesn't come from me).

[@tonysanta3497]

My school of thought on shafts if as follows: 1. Whatever stiffness it is, it is just a letter and it does not matter. 2. There are hundreds of bend profiles, use what you think feels best and does not cause you to rip the club down from the top. I have fitted people who are surprised to realize that despite their speed, they can hit Regular best. Also had people with slower speed hit extra stiff. It is all what helps your sequence and that will translate to a better strike.

[@SolomonLi]

This set of drivers are so sweet... I love the look of the standard one. Great shape... I hit it a few times at a local shop in the states and it's great.

[@davidfletcher6836]

Tried maverik today , really liked it. Hit a nice little draw with it without trying. Definitely one of the most accurate drivers I've hit. First callaway driver I've really liked, great sound and looks. Tried sim and got a few out there longer but wasn't as accurate.

[@davidrichard4300]

Please coach film your fitting and the gapping when they come in. It is very informative and entertaining

[@titancribbing3363]

I just bought a sub zero today and played one of my best rounds. Loving this driver!

[@gkarakosta]

When it comes to the weights and fitting, if you look at weights they have different colors and the darker one is the heavier one. So as a fitter that’s how you know if the heavy weight is in the front or not. Love your reviews, for years now.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Thanks yes we worked that after filming. 👍

[@serenityinsilence]

I hit the regular mavrik and the sub zero today. With my 105~106 ish swing speed and delivery, I needed the sub zero. I ended up hitting my longest and most accurate shots with the sub zero/ aldila nv 2kxv green 65 gram extra stiff flex shaft. I never thought I'd be the x flex guy, and have generally used a stiff flex. What's even crazier to me is my smash factor went up with the stiffer flex.

[@scottsmith8546]

I still use and love the original Epic Sub-Zero and the first thing I did was move the heavy weight to the back and that gets the ball in the air with ease. Since I normally draw the ball, this club is deadly straight with an occasional 30+ yards gain with a bomb ball, because it stays in the air forever.

[@richardsteiner7160]

I've watched a lot of reviews of the Mavrik drivers. You're the only one I've heard that likes the bronze / copper color. I also kind of like it, although color would be low on my list of reasons to buy / not buy a club.

[@paulbown3960]

Just hit this driver, really surprised how good it is. Forgiveness and consistency were really good. Will test on course and if it finds fairways might be tempted to drop the $$$

[@kdahli84]

Keep the accuracy test going, this Mavrik series has me dying

[@paulgolfer]

HI MARK , Paul here, ive not looked in on your videos for a while due to weather and playing well rather difficult put me off. NOW THOUGH I HAD THIS DRIVER FOR AROUND 18 MONTHS PLAYING 4 TIMES A WEEK. I found it longest I've ever hit 295 plus BUT 18 months later it felt like a crack under the grip and like something in the head had come loose , so my current but great driver the ROGUE D does not go as far . I like the new Smoke but if I could choose any it would be the mavrik ,maybe yellow head instead of orange .

[@larryyoung9106]

Wow, you hit the Taylormade magic numbers, 17 degree launch angle and 1700 spin rate....nice going Mark.

Definately the Standard and not the Sub Zero. This is fun but also very informative 👍

[@duffymoon5912]

Great vid Mark. Very tempted to buy one of these. Unfortunately I’m one of those golfers who’s a mid/semi low handicap (8) that you mentioned, who spins it high due to a consistent low heel strike with a -3 angle of attack. Maybe, actually not maybe at all, I should get some lessons to get a more centred strike before I go for a fitting. Thanks again.

[@davepalmerton2429]

The look is growing on me, also. I might look at a fitting with the Mavrik Max. Great video, love the chemistry with you and Matt.

[@graemedunn3407]

Hi Mark - love the channel. You mentioned 11:50 ish) that on a tour range no player wants the ball going left? Why is that? Easier to control a fade as opposed to a draw? Are the new style of drivers harder to hit right to left/ smaller sweet spot? I could go on forever trying to guess but I’ll leave it up to you. Struck me as odd as when I was learning the game decades ago it was always right to left for more distance

[@kerrythomas2402]

You should film the fit! Haven't seen a pro callaway fit before

[@paulrigby3578]

Yet again a brilliant review 👍👍

[@robbbranche]

The Muppet Pros On Tour will be interesting after all the fittings and "what's in my bag" stuff is complete, really looking forward to seeing some on the course action boys! Thx for posting for us!

[@scottmanthey3549]

I was surprised the Sub zero with the xstiff just worked the best for me. I got fitted (hit all of them plus the SIM and SZ) and I got the best results with the 10.5 (I normally hit a 9 deg Rogue sub zero) with it set to -1 standard and that really rocked for my game. Loved the sound and feel and best of all, dispersion. It went the farthest for me by a slight margin of 5+ yards but what won the day for me was the very consistent pattern the GC4 showed at the end of the day. My spin was consistently in the 2200rpm range with a 14 deg launch so I guess it just fit me. Strange that you can't hit it Mark, your swing speed is much higher than mine (104 mph)

[@michaelrood2751]

Great point about the numbers not being written on the weights. That’s dumb.

[@MarkCrossfield]

We did releases there is a darker and lighter one.

[@dannysawyer7146]

Be great to see Coach get fitted by callaway you should defiantly film that as a series. 🤞🏼

[@pmartinist]

Coach, the qa testers worst nightmare at GC2. Up the Army!

[@duffymoon5912]

Agree with other comments that I also would love you to film Coach’s Callaway fitting.

[@dollarbillclinton4327]

Every year,,5 more yards,,,, I've watched you for 10 years,,, haven't gained 50 YARDS,,,, maybe next year,,,,,,,😎

[@thebeardsman2031]

People love your shaft Mark!

[@adamboyle3331]

Regarding the identical looking weights. Would be nice if they just had a very small dimple on the heavier weight. Noticeable only if you looked very closely

[@boatbuilder781]

Enjoyed review so thank you. Is it possible to make a part of these reviews adding your estimation how different types or levels of golfers would do with these clubs. Your skills do have an effect on the review but what about those who do not have the skills that you and Matt have? Would again like to see you do on the course tests with new clubs like you used to do, it just makes it more realistic to the club golfer. Thanks

[@ryanhorner1675]

Would like to see Coach use his shaft in the standard Mavrik.

[@DantheAnswerMan]

He did already in the standard Mavrik review 2 videos back.

[@ryanhorner1675]

@@DantheAnswerMan correct...my bad...I was thinking the wrong club...was the max that he didn't put his shaft in.

[@gdouglass10]

Nice honest review as usual. 👍 Standard or Max for me, I don’t play or practice enough to get the most out of the SZ

[@benbotham9676]

Great video as always... Can you do the test again but use two different deliveries I.e hit up vs hit down see what difference it makes? Just thinking as you’re already a low spinning guy using a “low spin” club wouldn’t help you however if you were to hit down on it 2-4* and in theory add more spin by default would you get better or worse results?? Hope that makes sense 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@duffymoon5912]

Ben Botham I’d love to see that too. I hit down 3 and out of the heel. Got fitted for a flash sub zero but wasn’t convinced so didn’t buy it. I’m not concerned that I hit down a bit (Brooks Koepka hits 5 down) but want to work on a more centred strike.

[@mrtopramen]

Finally the one I've been waiting for :D

[@dr.feelgood9067]

Would be nice if the driver was reviewed with the stock shaft it's offered with so we all can get an idea of how the whole package performs, few people will custom order shafts on it.

[@Grunt21Tennessee]

Excellent video and review, Mark. I think we are always curious as to the shafts reviewers use due to the fact that we all don't have the $$ to get fitted. Yes, some locations offer "free fittings" at the local sports stores, but do we really trust the numbers they are "selling" us? We try to get some type of idea of what others with similar swings and tendencies are using so that it might help our decisions or at least help us start off with a particular setup. Just my .02 cents.

[@HultengrenRCRacing]

Always great content! gonna stick with my Mizuno st180 tho :) Best driver i ever owned

[@hotepnamaste4848]

Drove me bonkers!!! The shaft is Project X Evenflow Riptide. Mystery solved!!!

[@richardblakey2000]

Wow! We don't often see you fellas struggle quite so much to hit a straight one. Guess this Sub is not for the masses but the select few. Its not longer or straighter, it just looks pretty! Honestly it seems a bit pointless?.......... still keeping my TS2!

[@keithmchugh2558]

Different shafts affect different people get fit and see what suits 55g might suit you and 70 might suit me

[@dimemmo]

Maybe now that the mavrik is orange lockey can actually get fit for a shaft or more likely he’ll just buy whichever shaft matches the head best

[@TheBradleyp63]

I couldn't play a low spin driver. Every time I've been fit I've been placed in the higher spinning model.

[@20weststudio]

It appears the standard is the favorite out of all the demos I've seen. I've been bagging a Rogue for a few years and skipped the Epic Flash stage. I might have to go give this one a try.

[@mattymoomoo101]

One in a row. Coach on fire. :)

[@tom-fp7vi]

love the color scheme

[@paulbull3431]

I don’t actually care what shaft you use but it’s still interesting to know. Stops people stupidly believing you need a heavy shaft if your a good player.

[@nicomol4882]

Mark take Coach to Iceland, thats where he left his driving mojo. Please let him retrieve it! As for you, get the Cobra. Best numbers i've seen from you yet.

[@mrtopramen]

What's great about a low ball flight that runs is that since it's running along the ground, instead of going OB it'll just get caught in the rough and stay in. The increase in any side spin causes less deviation before hitting the ground than the longer carry with less side spin in my experience, and as long as the course isn't completely mucky (sometimes even when it is) the ball rolls out and the total distance is similar. Can you test this mark? "The MOST LEAST OUT OF BOUNDS DRIVER SETUP" lol

[@hotepnamaste4848]

Shaft is Project X Evenflow Riptide

[@chrispinn4189]

I'd love to see Coach in all Yellow to match his shaft and grip!!!

[@leejordan7252]

what I love about golf equipment at the minute is that club technology is close to as the legal limit as It can go. I don't believe any clubs can offer much more than another. people should now realise if you need to take your game to the next level you need to see a pro and get lessons. Your 262 proves it. You have done some speed training and have got more performance out of your body than any equipment you have tested in the last decade. Feels and looks will always sell over performance. in my opinion. Could be wrong.

[@arjanpetersen]

Shaft matters Mark! Bigger and heavy is the deal;)

[@marknightingale2760]

Time to go out and buy an epic flash at a fraction of the pre Crimbo cost!

[@ericbriggs7383]

A CG location video along the same lines as your aerodynamic video would be great. Just get a ton of lead tape and test every corner of the clubhead, crown too.

[@arthuracorn]

Can’t wait to see the accuracy with the woods,hybrids and the irons now, good format too, bring on the warm outdoor vlogs too mind !

[@Cebby92]

Mark, did you check head weight and swing weight before test? With the subzero carrying a heavier standard shaft my guess is the head weight could be greater than the standard causing the swingweight to climb with the 50 gram shaft. Cheers

[@Bizzaro500]

I'm waiting for the "Plutonium-Radiation shaft" driver! The marketing is ridiculous with the names of these clubs/shafts.

[@mujarice]

Mark, would you be able to leave heavy weight up front and increase loft a degree or 2 to counteract the low spin? Something I've never experimented with but I would love to see a video of this. The old "loft up" campaign of Taylormade.

[@ianmooregolf]

up Matts loft on the sub zero worked well for you Mark when taylormade done loft up on sldr

[@somatata1]

Mark, Lochy could we possibly get the average of which ever club you are using at the time of a review put on the bottom or top of the screen. for comparison to the clubs you game now to the clubs your are testing?

[@randomzero3]

I have a Rogue Subzero and the weights have numbers on them, but they're very very tiny. I wonder if it's the same on that.

[@ccmorgan53]

I tend to have a natural to over draw- pull draw 108 mph . Would the sub zero be better for me weights back as other maverick drivers tend to premodern a draw

[@gretchman]

If you like your club distances blending into each other, we should trade skillsets for a bit. I am perfectly capable of hitting any club any distance any time. Also any direction... And not on purpose... But still... IF YOU WANT BLENDED CLUBS...

[@seantongs3202]

Had a fitting a couple of weeks ago, finally got to the shop to collect my new shaft today, Callaway were kind enough to attach a Epic Flash head & a grip on the other end. No Mavrik's were available to test.

[@MikeDoba]

So that was noticeably going more right for you Mark than previous models, like you said the SZ like to be fade bias.. wondering if you slapped that into draw mode would it even out for you? I recently purchased a SZ Rogue and had similar issues with mine.

[@djones1304]

you could see the number of the weights on the rogue sub zero.

[@bothered1984]

This is the first set of videos where I feel even you Mark have been swayed by advertising/brand names etc. I feel like you’ve been getting better distances and better accuracy with the majority of other drivers that you’ve tested recently including much cheaper brands and yet I really get the feeling that you would probably lean towards getting the Mavrick. Coach needs some coaching on that driving at the moment lol. Keep up the good work guys. Love all the videos you put out.

[@dj-qh1kw]

Could you not mark the weights with a sharpie blue light red heavy etc for fitting that way you know what's what.

[@strike2win300]

When you switched to the hand crafted yellow, did you keep the heavy weight in the back when you both hit it? Or did you return the heavy weight to the front?

[@scotthudson1048]

I found myself yelling “ Get up Matt!”

[@thomascairns4216]

not for me, and actually I think I will be staying with the flash, also did you see the article about lower lofts for lower swing speed players to increase distance? wondering what you think, I have been playing 10.5 lofted up 1 degree, wondering if I should try going the other way

[@jeremyschweigart2201]

Still using an original SLDR so yeah!

[@hurdy18]

Low key Top Gun reference at the end

[@kygolfer5582]

Continuing on the What Shaft portion of the video. One finds a shaft that works for them, should one keep using that same shaft in every driver?

[@15chrispowell]

Have they changed the colour of the weights now so you can see the different weights?

[@MarkCrossfield]

You can if you look close. I didn’t look close enough.

[@ahmadhanifah617]

Can we get a video of Coach’s custom fitting session with Callaway for this year’s Mavrik lineup please 🙏🙏🤞🤞🏌️‍♂️

[@FF04RDF]

Would have been interested to see what would have happened if you increased loft?

[@MarkCrossfield]

It would go higher I am guessing 😉

[@FF04RDF]

Mark Crossfield and the spin rates would be higher too I assume but could you optimise it is really what I’m asking

[@MikeDoba]

Oh you gotta go record Coach's new bag fitting

[@tonyleigh5517]

Lockey Army!!!

[@shrimpflea]

I want to know what shaft you're using Mark because (drum roll).....I'm curious. That's it.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Haha 😂 👍👍👍👍

[@hughchoobe647]

Question Mark - how does changing the loft on a driver affect it's setup? Eg. Is a 9* driver lofted up to 10.5* exactly the same as a 12* driver lofted down to 10.5*?

[@paulmilsom1346]

Good question, I like it , deserves an answer 👍

[@Cebby92]

When you loft up the lie angle becomes more upright as well. That effectively makes the club more draw bias. When you loft down it flattens the lie angle making the club more fade bias.

[@rayfarrell9482]

Are the weights the same as Flash? 👍

[@lagwagon501]

Well..... The water looks nice up close :P 0.0025% fairways hit #LockeyArmy

[@fergusreeverealestate.7409]

So I got fitted (again) for the mavrik and this time the SZ (with weight back) came out better for me than the standard. I also like the shape of the SZ more than the standard I think. Does anyone think I will be losing any measurable amount of forgiveness by going to the SZ with weight back as opposed to the standard? I don’t want to buy based on only a couple of trials, but I feel like I could go round in circles between the two options!

[@calum-nn9fm]

What you use and like makes no difference to watchers but honestly i like to know the specs, just curiosity i suppose

Epic flash is more adjustable because of the sliding weight. Agree or Disagree
