TAYLORMADE SIM vs CALLAWAY MAVRIK DRIVER - 2020 DRIVER BATTLE |

[@larryc7907]

Me: They sound pretty much the same Al: These are two COMPLETELY different sounding drivers... Me:.....

[@samjames8690]

Cobra21 they sound different outside..

[@VivaLaGolf42]

At first they sounded the same to me, but when he tested them separately I notice a little more muted tone in the SIM

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

Al, hold the Maverick to your ear after a miss hit, you’ll hear “talk to me Goose!” You need to say something to the club, so it feels better to get back in the fight! (Or maybe you just have to hit the ball while “inverted”!)

[@scm021374]

The SIM driver lets out a squeal when you hit it, when I hit it, it lets out a giggle.

[@liamlyon1808]

Like the look of the SIM and I have tried the Mavrik , was going to buy the Mavrik but ended up with a Cobra 🏌️‍♂️👍

[@kevemaher]

Got fitted in January. Came in with no biases. Tried them both and many others during a long driver fitting session. The Callaway Mavrik won. None of the other drivers were even close. I was shocked! Didn't ever think that this decision would be so easy. Worked just as well on the course. That's me, one unique individual among the heaving masses of golfers.

[@toddbassett2598]

As a recent convert to Team TaylorMade, I'm giving SIM high marks in all categories. Although I used to minimize their dominance in the marketplace, it only took one hit of a buddy's old R11s to open my eyes to their performance and innovation. Callaway has excellent equipment but TM rules the metalwood world! Please keep the awesome content coming Al! And DAMN, you can certainly drive a golfball!!😁👍👍👍

[@MrBBHHBBHH]

Nice drives Al!! You and TXG are my favorite channels, cannot wait for the collabs!

[@jeffbates5401]

I would go with the TaylorMade Sim. You do kill the ball Al. Keep up the good work it is appreciated.

[@mrmackey5088]

Nice vid! Here is a tip for youre retro review: The Wilson Killer Whale driver ( used by John Daly ).

[@k9feces]

How about the Invex driver that Daly won The Open with.

[@mrmackey5088]

@@k9feces That would also be a great club to put in the retro review! I wonder.....who hits the longest drives....Daly of Alex? 😊

[@carlosameglio4607]

Would like to see the SIM vs the standard Mavrik (not the sub zero), and I think there's a need to be fitted for each of those drivers before a H2H (shaft is important and would also depend on the specific head weight too). Thanks for all the great videos and most of all for your sense of humor! we have fun watching you!

[@marksamuel5347]

When I want to see some thunderous drives, Great videos and some laughs. I drop in .. like every new video!! Thanks for making this isolation more enjoying. Mark from Montreal Canada!!

[@kevinw583]

Well done Al, best video in awhile

[@TonyAhie]

hahahaha..."well I'm going to get 360 at the end of this video". You da man Big Al

[@williamsincock7524]

Why not do a video where you grab the lowest spinning heads of 4 of the major companies and fit them to yourself with the aim of getting the lowest spin. Therefore have a competition for the driver with the lowest spin. And also see how far you can get them out there? Another great video Al. Loving every single one.

[@carsonodell5577]

I’m team Callaway all the way but it’s what you feel comfortable with. I striped the Mavrick and it sounds pure. Hope you guys have a good day

[@markbrook4697]

Full Beast mode engaged Thanks Al made me smile as always

[@kaidavey6879]

Hi Al love the vids keep them up/because I’m bored Plz 😁

[@stevensandy6610]

A joy as always,nice 👍

[@billkendall9110]

Since i was fitted for the SIM Max and couldn't get on with the Mavrik - I am definitely Team Taylormande!

[@Brickktopp]

I have bn multiple taylormade driver user for 15 years but i switched to callaway marvik sub zero this yr purely down to the fact of the massive spin reduction it gave me during the fitting .

[@SillierTurtle]

You should make a hole watch compilation during lockdown!

[@denglishdoc]

Team Taylormade. I gave up a tiny bit of distance when fitted for my M4 to hit more fairways vs the Rogue. Results have been the same for me each year when testing these two brands. Still play my M4

[@paulshepherd27]

Shaft shaft shaft..... good stuff Al 💪

[@leepopham-lithgow5104]

Great vlog Al as always as you always crack me up and I’m team Callaway all the way

[@zacharymilos392]

Can we talk about that magic trick for minute Al? If golf doesn't work out, you should probbbbably become a magician.

[@ryanseptember9058]

Team Taylormade! I can't wait to get my SIM Max after the lockdown has ended here in South Africa! Already ordered and packaged waiting to be sent off!

[@Bobbarice]

I am a massive fan of Taylormade but I’ve had issues with twist face in the past. These callaways have impressed me. I think it’s Mavrik for me these days

[@chrisgreenleaf2802]

What type of shaft were on each club? Apologies if you said it - I must have missed it.

[@JasonSmith-gy2mr]

Matt was hitting the standard Mavrik. It was ridiculous!

[@alexetchesgolf]

I weirdly hit that one further too. It makes no sense 😂

[@JasonSmith-gy2mr]

Alex Etches - GolfBox TV As a better player, when I was fitted, I never considered the standard. I just assumed SZ would be the bomb diggity and out the door I went. 🤦‍♂️ Back to the drawing board...you guys are killing me AND the golf ball! I love you videos, keep up the good work!

[@golf007sd2]

Good stuff mate. That said, there is no driver in my book that sounds as good as the TS3. That said, I prefer the sound and look of the Maverick more. Moreover, one can custom order the look of it in different colors. As for trying to hit it like Matty...you need the right shaft bud. Having Ian in his pocket comes in handy. Lastly, he was not hitting the Subzero...he had the regular one, which is not his driver. :P

[@seancook2264]

Alex, you need to get TXG Ian to get you fitted then push that green out to 350 and out the software on to dry settings and get stuck in! 💥

[@cademora539]

Team taylormade all the way AL .👌 vid as always mate.

[@justinpalmer2959]

Can I sit on the fence ? Have the Rogue Fairways and Taylormade M3 driver. Have hit the Mavrik Max and was impressed

[@Talesofthegrape]

What launch monitor do you use?

[@lukedavies4626]

Team TM for sure

[@jamiedowling8787]

I tried the sub zero, but like my striking ability, I've compared it to the corona distancing between people. But in the same breath, I'm getting the same figures from my max compared to the sub.

[@akao1029]

I wish I could get my spin above 2k with the SIM. I’ve tried lofting up but then I’m launching it at 14-16 and my spin is at 1.8k. Even swapped out the ventus 6x w/ velocore and put the pro 2.0 in it to help get spin up. What were you launching the sim at?

[@fritstt]

Team Taylormade for me, already play the M5 irons which i like and i like the design of the Sim more then i like the Mavrik.

[@rogermickcollison4003]

Great video Al, I was wondering if you had the heavier weight up front in the Mavrik? I believe Matty at TXG crushed the 361 yard with the standard Mavrik. You could possibly get more ball speed from that one also. Either way I love watching you rip it.

[@Soren__S]

just came from another TOE2TOE

[@michaelwalsh7753]

Tbf Matt waa playing on an undulating fairway and i think got a little bit of a shooter with the bounce. But was a massive hit. Your dispersion was ridiculous, imagine doing that on a golf course you would be killing it.

[@jojosaute]

I love txg but if you are comparing, I feel they have there roll set at an unbelievable level. If you watch Matt gets like 20 yards some times.

[@DaveFogel]

Matty is using GCQuad, what is Team Al using?

[@BundyPoppy]

Team TaylorMade, but currently using PXG GEN01 0811X TaylorMade simply makes good looking equipment, that performs.

[@DuTch_-0-]

I haven't hit either of them, but I prefer the SIM for looks for sure the sound is to difficult to tell.

[@stefanscharnhorst7307]

Can we get a Toe2Toe with the Ping G410. I believe it’s the most Underrated driver out and will hold up to any driver out.

[@mattparsons946]

This should be awesome.

[@joshlynch5676]

Seems like the SIM's design is to get the ball up in the air no matter what, it's got a super low and far back CoG. Not for me, but it appeals to a lot of golfers out there.

[@ScottDreyfus]

Did you have to replace the screen after the tear.

[@stevehardman8837]

Team Taylormade on this one ☝️

[@rufussthoo4083]

@4:17 "... but when you get it out of the center ... it lets off a little squeal." Are you sure that isn't you Al? 😁

[@banditbaker1675]

So Matty boy is going for the Mavrik (standard) and Ian is going for the SIM (but then again Ian is a TM Driver superfan), which one is BigAl going to game????? I just can't wait for you and the TXG Guys ti get together again. PS how is the screen did the screen fairies tape it up?

[@ryanmccluskey5570]

I honestly thought you were going to say "don't be a dick" instead of "go and get fitted" Team SIM!!

[@thehairygolfer]

First! I've finally beaten James Robinson at something.

[@banditbaker1675]

and you are better looking than he is, but then again so am I!!!! LOL

[@mvansb23]

I feel like this shaft has been in the mail for months. Did the TXG boys send a courier to row it to you?

[@Pootie-jk9ff]

I think that Matt from TXG somehow grabbed lightening in a bottle with that driver. It was way way longer than every other model. Plus his monitor was showing his ball running like crazy so idk 😬

[@liamdillinger1626]

Was that the pin pineapple apple pin song? Right in the beginning?

[@paulbown3960]

I just had a driver fitting and out of everything the SIM was the winner. Never been a fan of TM but I can’t argue with the SIMS performance.

[@kevinli7729]

Team Taylormade

[@josephclites6971]

Up until about 8 months ago, I would’ve been team Callaway...no doubt!!! However, it’s now, not October 2019, so I have to go team Taylormade. I tested same drivers in fitting and for “me”, it wasn’t a comparison. The Sim outperformed the Mavrik...by a lot. Did I bring my own preconceptions and were my swings with Sim unconsciously better, very very possible. Just look at the pro stable for TM compared to Callaway. After Xander, Phil, and Kisner...who else do they have??

[@rynohuey3680]

Thought I had a stroke when the heads changed hands lol

[@lemoneleven2179]

would love to see a review of the cleveland turbo driver!

[@brewssssss_]

When are you getting your SIM in?! With the gold ol Nemesys shaft in it?! TXG faithful

[@alexetchesgolf]

It’s on its way but no doubt it will be delayed with the current situation!

[@coreywilliams722]

Team TM everytime, it’s the only clubs I’ve ever played, never wanted to go elsewhere

[@mattparsons946]

Team Callaway? Team TaylorMade? Bruh, we’re all on #TeamAL

[@mikedupree2290]

I know you know this but you need a better shaft to hit it further. Matt had his kinda fit. 2500-2700. Your leaving 30 yards

[@hehateme2812]

Team Cobra? I can't hit either of them well. Not sure why because I'm a Callaway Iron and Wedge nut. I moved away from TM after the superquad

[@jasonkim6137]

Please also do one on g410 lst and ts3 !

[@robertgraham8813]

Love the look of the sim .tested both and hit the mavrik max much better

[@mtharrelson]

I would love to see a review of the Exotics forged irons

[@taylormilton3]

TEAM COBRA!!!!! Oh...ummm sorry Al, you said choose one of these. If I want the flash the sponsor I would take Taylormade. If I want a beast in my bag period..Mav..

[@bryanhp2916]

Please do a Cobra SZ vs SIM toe to toe

[@glennsalongo]

What is that background music? Sounds great

[@harrywright1692]

Matty from txg actually got a 361 yard drive with the normal maverick

[@MrTkeddo]

Team Callaway but both are awesome drivers .

[@MM-zb9kc]

Team Callaway. You know Matt was hitting the standard Mavrik and not the SZ. Come on Al!

[@alexetchesgolf]

Well I hit the stand further so... 👀😂

[@MM-zb9kc]

Alex Etches - GolfBox TV I was laughing so hard when you came up with Barstool and then said that’s all I got. That was hilarious.

[@muffin0079]

Looks SIM wins it for me

[@speerchucker64]

Team Cobra or Titleist. The difference between you and Matt is Ian Fraser....

[@Muchmore1821]

Matty had the Ventus Black (low/low) in his Mav (standard not SZ), and you're rocking a stock Riptide(mid/mid). Get fitted AL! ;) Then you'll get the 360 easy!

[@darrenbell6376]

I'm a cobra man gaming the speedzone was fitted against both these two drivers felt more comfortable with thr cobra but the mavrik gave me the longest drives but the cobra dispersion was better. I would choose the mavrick all day over Taylormade on looks. If only the cobra wasn't so dam good in my hands the mavrik would be in the bag

[@timpozzi8039]

I am firmly TeamAL

[@garysmith6994]

The POD sounds best

[@paulrigby3578]

Did you fix the net 🤔

[@stephenadams6959]

Team Taylormade!

[@jjd9990]

It would be Team Callaway on looks alone

[@2007dixiegirl]

And and TWINS !!!

[@garyrogers2427]

I have just got the sim driver probably the best driver I have ever had

[@MJL-91]

Team Taylormade I’ve always played everything TM after my first set which were zevo comp equip full set

[@selamolson3168]

team Tyalormade SIM all the wayyy

[@DspinsBomber]

Put the right shaft in there and you’ll easily get to 360 and you know it.

[@andrewscott6339]

Love TXG and matt but it's team Al for me 💪💪 got to beat him next time pal

[@grsly854]

team taylor made here, but titleist ftw

[@chopsticksq1902]

"it's smash balls time" sounds like a Team Al merch slogan. T-shirt please! Let Ian do your fitting and then take on Matt. Right now it isn't a fair fight lad

[@edwardbellamy7435]

Every other year I'm team taylormade but this year I'm team callaway!

[@johnmac4769]

I think the Muzino ST200 is the best looking driver, LOL, between the SIM and the Mavrik, I think the SIM is best

[@matthewdumble7415]

Team Callaway since Razr!

[@younggunnsgolf7877]

Team Taylormade all the way

[@robbiles]

I'd be Team SIM. I'd be worried about that AI revolting and taking control of my swing.

[@BANDANA960]

#teamcallaway any day of the week. The Mavrik just looks gorgeous down by the ball. Can I be a geek and point something out! I actually have a Mavrik SZ and I will say the heavy weight is in the back on your one. Put that GD IZ6 shaft in it and it will not be able to know the word spin. I put a HZRDUS Hnadcrafted black in mine and that's exactly what happened 🤣

[@alexetchesgolf]

I changed the weight before the shots 👍

[@BANDANA960]

Alex Etches - GolfBox TV sound brah! I've been gnawing to see you smash the SZ for ages! great stuff!

[@goblenator9688]

Every time I look down at a taylormade I feel like I'm gonna hit a huge block
