NEW Callaway MAVRIK Drivers - how many yards longer than EPIC FLASH?

[@RickShielsPGA]

*Question* - If you had to choose between SIM & MAVRIK what would you pick?

[@rac12rc]

After watching both reviews, as a 80-90 golfer seems the real question is if I had to chose the M5/M6 or Epic Flash at a yr old discount which would i pick? As I am playing 2016 Apex irons and have been using an Aero Burner I am thinking time to switch to Epic Flash.

[@paulbrunt5251]

I think Sim for me

[@MattSmith-hf5sv]

Cobra

[@JeepGuy3]

Maverick... Orange is my favorite color. The way they promise 10 more yards every year. I'm surprised we are not all driving 500 yards plus. Great video sir!!

[@macdaddyblues1]

Mavrik, looks good from the top... What do they call the 3 wood, "Iceman" lol

[@RickShielsPGA]

*Note* I didn’t show the shots in the fairway as it was very wet in parts so some balls didn’t roll and some balls did. So it would have been an unfair test

[@ajaytuk7416]

Over 10 shots each I think it would have been interesting to see

[@rhickey83]

If you look at the longest carry over the 10 shots from both clubs which one would win?

[@mrmackey5088]

Damn you winter!!! 😜

[@bradfman1147]

With that much more club head speed but producing 3-4 mph less in ball speed you were definitely not hitting the Mavrik as well or as close to the sweet spot. If you adjusted for the same smash factor as you hit the EF I would assume you would have gotten 5 yards or maybe even more. Certainly not a definitive test especially if you have been gaming a EF and are potentially more comfortable with it than the Mavrik. Familiarity breeds contempt.

[@jackmarshall9789]

You are supposed to hit middle for both

Rick, this is probably the best new club review of all time. This and the Taylormade SIM review were exactly what the golfing public want - an in depth, honest review, that compares this years product to last years.

So it looks like the Mavrik standard is the only new "technology." The other two are last year's epic flash with a 90s orange paint scheme.... Oh and with some random letters and numbers following "flash face" on the face. Got it. Thanks Rick. Your honesty is, as always, appreciated.

[@Punkologist]

I recently discovered your youtube channel and love it. I have only played sporadically over about 20 years and never really improved. I still use a now very old Nike SQ Dymo, which by today's standards makes an awful ping noise lol. I watched a video of yours last night about getting better driver distance and went to the range tonight and it was amazing. I went from topping it and slicing it about 150m , to tonight fairly consistently crushing it (for me) uphill right over the top of the 180m (the furthermost board we have at the range here) board landing close to 190m and rolling on about another 20m - 40m. All basically as before I had the tee too low, i was lining the ball up too far back from my front foot. Just fixing that seemed to fix my slice and gave me a huge amount more power. Thanks a lot! Sorry we do everything in metres here in Australia :) I had to hit through the haze of bushfire smoke too.

[@exactgolf5447]

Result: Same driver, different color and marketing claims. You just hit the Epic slightly better in the test thus the tiny difference in ballspeed and carry :)

Rick, your reviews are the best "go to" on KZbin. Every piece of golf equipment I have purchased in the last 3-years has started with watching your reviews. I very much appreciate the thoroughness and unbiased nature of your reviews. One thing that would be great is if you could bring back your mid-handicap reviews. I suspect a large part of your audience are in the 10 - 20 handicap range with driver club head speeds in the range of 85 to 100 mph (as opposed to your 115 mph). (It is awesome watching you carry your tee shots around 285 yards :-)) As to your question, if I had to choose between the SIM & MAVRIK with my pocket book, the answer would be neither as it doesn't appear that either is better than many of the 2019 driver offerings. Both clubs are CDN$700 here in Canada. Personally, I am going to stick with my fitted PING G400!

Physicist here, I really like this driver. The shape is legitimately good, about the best aerodynamics shape you're going to get. All of the vortex generators and other fluff seen on other drivers don't work, a smooth shape like the back end of an aerofoil is the optimum. The driver face, I'd been saying for a while they should look at optimising the face to make the ball come off at the same speed all over. Thats what they've done here. Not sure how well it works, but its one of the only things I could think of to theoretically help mishits (like "speedfoam" just better). Frankly I'm now at a loss to think what else I would do to improve drivers beyond these models, no other gimmicks or tricks actually make a difference in the real world. I like it.

I have watched a few reviews for new drivers now and I think the most important thing for us amateurs Is the consistency of the strike and how far the ball will travel on an off centre hit, clubhead speed and balls speed is for professionals. So with that in mind I think the best driver available at present is the Ping G410. In every KZbin review it seems to be the most consistent performer.

[@LilleyDaniel]

Great review. I have always found the new drivers all go the same distance as the old drivers. What I have found is that finding the right shaft makes all the difference. Also some drivers can be more forgiving. With drivers we all worry about distance, but fairways is what we need to be looking at.

[@jamesignatius1894]

Clubhead speed for SZ was 0.2 faster than normal but ball speed was 1.4 slower. This means you didnt have the same smash factor with the SZ-not surprising with it being more difficult to hit. Interesting then that you got the same total yards of 307 with both. Makes me think that SZ can perform even better if you can manage to get solid strikes on it.

Club head speed is really the product of all the energy in the body's hinges being multiplied in sequence, minus the energy waste or leak attributable to opposing forces both inside and outside the body. This means the fastest club head speed will be achieved via the proper timing and sequence of the release of those hinges, the joints, and not from how much Force or power is supplied by muscle exertion. Another great video, Rick

[@waynepilgrim9476]

[@shughalonly4724]

Thanks a lot Rick for the great review ... As per my humble analysis for last six months, the claim by the company for 5 yards longer is unreal ... at the same time I conclude that the major difference between the two is response for off center hits ... with COR value being constant, how can company claim to increase the distance? By aero dynamics and COR value for off center hits ...Callaway has achieved both ...Rick's result have shown that swing speed with maverik was faster... and i have myself used mavrik ...dammmmm ...it is indeed good in off center hits ... so good that I purchased one ... summary is that if you hits the driver center most of the times, you won't be benefitted with extra distance very clearly from naverik ... but for players like me who need ball speed from off center hits, they won't be disappointed ... i have gained 30 to 40 yards for off center hits and 40 to 50 yards on center strikes ...my previous driver was Tylormade SLDR

yeah, that's an odd blanket statement coming from Rick. I only swing driver about 100 mph (less if i'm feeling stiff, and up to 105 if it's hot and i'm really loose), and the sub-zero epic flash was the club for me. I do usually hit around the middle of the face, but i tend to not get the best attack angle, and the SZ works fine for me. I average about 260-270 yards including rollout with it, and i hit a little under 60% of the fairways i play.

Peter Molyneux his efficiency was also down in the Mavrik head vs the epic flash. 1.39 vs 1.42. Clubhead speed up, forgiveness is higher for only losing two mph ball speed on strikes not quite as efficient. Human element always makes these reviews tricky, cause unless you’re hitting them both the same, how can you say which is better?

There’s simply just not much left the manufacturers can improve on year over year. The face of the clubs have all been at the legal limit for some time now. I’d be interested to see if there is much difference on off center hits. I’d rather lose 10 yards to be able to hit it straighter.

Work in a golf shop and got all the new demo clubs this week have to say I didn't think there would be any noticable difference from 2019 but fell in love with the mavrik sub zero absolute beast, not much between the other manufacturers but this club takes the piss! I don't work for Callaway I swear 😂

[@lourensvanniekerk3402]

Another great review Rick. Appreciate your honesty when it comes to reviewing golf equipment.

[@xrf001]

Superb methodology and honest testing. It always come down to subtle things like look and sound. Great job again, Rick!

[@peterarmstrong3298]

If only I had 280 yards of carry in the winter! Callaway won't be happy with your honest review Rick!

13:10 love how he just casually tosses the clubhead offscreen and you can hear it hit the ground

[@billobrien5901]

You mean hear it hit someone’s hand when they catch it?
