TAYLORMADE SIM vs CALLAWAY MAVRIK! WHICH WINS?!

TAYLORMADE SIM vs CALLAWAY MAVRIK! WHICH WINS?! We have seen the launch of the Callaway Mavrik, Taylormade Sim, Callaway Mavrik Max, Taylormade Sim Max and Callaway Mavrik sub zero... which is the best driver? What’s the best driver of 2020? What’s the longest driver of 2020? The Taylormade Sim vs Callaway Mavrik.. let’s do it... and let’s do it now!

[@tonyveneziano5598]

I’ve watched a ton of reviews I’m not even a Callaway fan I’ve always been team Titleist but the dispersion on the Mavrik is world class.

[@oldfoggie123]

Dispersion is down to the player ,not the club!

[@kroceee]

The Maverik with the tour ad shaft would look AMAZING!

[@georgesteer4137]

Love the comparisons and reviews. I would think the comparison would be Maverik sub zero vs. Sim, and Sim Max vs. Maverik as these two will suit the most golfers. Keep up the great work.

[@josephwhiteaker2626]

Another day another video from James. Excellent! I prefer the Callaway name but the Taylormade looks nicer.

[@richardsdiaz1]

2 videos today! or....is today ground hog day and I'm just confused? :0)

[@parmanduke]

Excellent review as usual. Driver heads are so fantastic these days. It really boils down to matching them with the proper shafts and which one folks hit more fairways with.

[@richardsdiaz1]

100% agree..... getting custom fit is the secret to getting more distance anymore. These clubs are all so good now.

[@stevenmoormann3644]

Am I the only one who feels like I just watched Eric Idle do a club comparison? "This is just....that is.....I mean.....that's......" Entertaining to no end as always

[@phildiegidio4658]

Was about what I expected. As they say in Pro Football (USA).........on any given Sunday. Call it a tie. But I do like the Taylor Made head cover. For what it's worth. Carry on James.

[@joeperez3520]

Would love to see a comparison between the SIM Max, Mavrik Max, and the older PING G 400 Max. Battle of the MAXES.

[@banditbaker1675]

Great shout Joe, bring on the MAX OUT!

[@joeperez3520]

Bandit Baker 👍

[@genotone]

Took the mavrik on course today. An impressive head. Loved the feel and sound over the GBB epic, rogue and epic flash. Only had a stock shaft so I can't compare peak performance but the results were impressive

[@davidmayo3368]

Looks-wise, personally I would get over the color of the Mavrik before I'd get over that protrusion on the Sim.

[@locobenno9435]

I don't see my F9 leaving the bag now that I've got the right shaft in it....appreciate the review as always, cheers

[@rcrowdy86]

Another great video! Would love to see a full "face-off". SIM vs Mavrik vs Speedzone vs Mizuno vs Titleist vs Ping vs Cleveland vs anything else that might be 'up there' in most popular drivers. Would also be great to see the same with fairways, hybrids, irons and wedges. Even just a compilation/ comparison of the numbers you have hit with the premium products from each brand? Keep up the excellent work, whatever you do!

[@Johnlancaster]

Just go to a review of each and screenshot the numbers. Spoiler - they are all the same, buy on what looks nicer to you.

[@danielcohen3159]

Good video, James. The Mavrik color scheme will sell well in Tennessee and Texas, I'd say!

[@joeperez3520]

Hook 'em Vols!!! 🤣

[@richardsdiaz1]

ORANGE ! ! ! ! ! YUCK ! ! ! ! ! AND.... THAT CLUB COVER ? ! ? ! ? ! (what is Callaway thinking?) To be fair I saw the color choices on your earlier video today. A few of those looks fantastic! Too bad there's an up-charge to fix that ugly Stock Orange! As always, brilliant content! Loving your channel in 2020! PS: Thanks for doubling up for us today!

[@chriseyre83]

Lefty SoCal Golfer the head cover looks so cheap!

[@Joehockey1990]

They're dropping the price $50 less than the Sim, and making it hideous. That way you don't feel as bad when you spend $600 to get the custom colors.

[@richardsdiaz1]

@@Joehockey1990 If they were truly smart they'd drop the price a bit on custom colors for people who get custom fit from retailers and other places like Club Champion / TXG! A bit of incentive for people to not just buy off the rack drivers could be huge for their business. The more people there are out there with CALLAWAY equipment that has been properly fit would have massive word of mouth impact! Hen your buddy is suddenly knocking it by you and hitting more fairways it makes you take notice..... You can't buy that kind of advertising!

[@e.davidjohnson2797]

James love your videos, keep them coming.

[@duncanward2518]

How come you tested sim max vs standard mavrik, surely max with front weight would be longer than standard weight back mavrik

[@TenPester]

I have the Mavrik and the orange grinds your gears the more you look at it. It annoys me that it doesn’t have weighting like the epic flash. But you don’t lose distance on any part of the face for some reason. That weight on the SIM sole makes you feel like you’re sweeping the ball away which can make you feel more confident. Mavrik is a hyper active child.

[@muffin0079]

Two videos in one day you are treating us today James 👌🏻

[@richardsdiaz1]

I know, right ??

[@GabeGallucciGolf]

Yes brother! Needed this comparison, thank you!

Great Video as always James.. Great work on the Trackman Insta yday aswell.. Your getting around with all the big fellas these days. Well deserved. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@lesbarton8510]

Compare the SIM with the 2019 f9 Cobra.

[@nipplefishdigweed5839]

Or look at his F9 numbers compared with these 2. There will be hardly any difference. Its all limited by the R&A. 😂

[@Unclewalnut]

I came on here to say this exact thing. I can't find a single comparison online and would thoroughly enjoy this head-to-head.

[@michaelnewton2220]

[@Unclewalnut]

@@michaelnewton2220 it doesn't make sense to you to compare the top selling model of last year with the hottest driver of the new year?

[@JMEAUS22]

Chris McKenzie A comparison with contender included because of fact, the other because of....your opinion? Nah, bruh.

[@kyriackyriac]

Great video as always. I own a Rogue and I’m guessing there are others out there who hold onto their driver for two years +. Seeing as Mavrik is replacing Rogue, a comparison video would be really beneficial. 👍🏼

[@richardsdiaz1]

It was a great video! I suspect a bunch of people are going to buy Rogue drivers now that they're coming down in price. Your driver will have lots of siblings on the course soon. :0)

Good call! Vs rogue review please.

[@peterpeterson9886]

[@waynematherson9428]

Can't decide either ....just going to have to go try them

[@maamold]

8:01 - that had to be a bit of a misread - the ball hit to the right on the screen but the ball started left on the simulator.

[@jimmack6744]

The Mavrik color scheme reminds me of the muscle cars of the late 1960s early 1970s in the US. It seems the dispersion is better on the Mavrik. Keep these videos coming.

[@jjd9990]

I'd like the Mavrik in the Sim colourway

[@adamgoertzen9345]

I wouldn’t buy either one of these. Waiting for the new Mizuno to see what that’s like. Never been a fan of Callaway or TM Good job on the review James. Your content keeps getting better and better.

[@Knickerson]

James, maybe sometime you could do a video on individual club makers? It would just be fun to see what they design, how it works, and why they have their own studios.

[@robh316]

No your spot on James the Taylormade looks the best by a mile

[@Cornwall1888]

MegaStan316 which isn’t good for callaway because the sim is ugly on the bottom

[@robh316]

@@Cornwall1888 true it is but from the top it's so nice and yep bad news for Callaway

[@richardsdiaz1]

It isn't close! Lucky for TM that no one looks at the bottom of the driver on the golf course or they;d be in trouble too.

[@johncox2742]

Can you compare these clubs with the new Cobra SZ?

[@randyhylton91]

The Sim against the Cobra SZ. Also the Diamana Black shaft is incredible this year. Maybe a review of the optional shafts that are free with each vendor that can make a huge difference.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

I definitely want to try both of these drivers and I have to say that the Taylormade does look better, great head to head video If you are fed up with your Harbour Town head cover I could look after it for you 👍

[@markbailey9503]

Look really nice Pete can't wait to see you try it out 🏌️⛳⛳👍

[@percybyssheshelly]

I replaced my old Big Bertha with a new Mavric driver. I couldn’t believe how much more yardage I was getting on my drives. I guess new technology does make a difference.

[@BaltimoreJak]

I honestly believe Calloway used the orange to keep the price low, and push those with the means onto their custom color platform. I personally look forward to picking up an unsold orange one in the clearance bin next season.

[@superduperawesome6858]

On the results page the 3mph difference in club speed and only 1mph difference in ball speed, is that down to strike locations or just sample anomalies?🤔

[@DavidEgeberg]

That Orange colour is nothing short of horrible . I’m calling it “Vomit Orange”. It’s like the day after a massive night out on the town. I agree with you James about the sound - the Sim sounds better and it also looks better to me.

[@seanconnors7639]

James- Always curious if it is truly performance that is statistically significant that gets you to make a switch, or is it more subjective, or is just simply that you can and want something different? I guess I am asking what is the criteria which would get you to make a switch.

[@alldye]

Hi James... What are the lofts and shaft used on each driver?

[@jeremeymiller3406]

Crazy coincidence you and mark crossfields review of these 2 exact drivers are both 15 minutes and 29 seconds 🤯

[@allanmannion9028]

Hi James, I understand why manufacturers bring out clubs every couple of months,but how far or further than 5/6/7 years ago do they go for the club golfer , irons all they have done is put a number 7 on what was a 5 iron and so on

[@triniexr]

The SIM reminds me of the SLDR and Jetspeed colour scheme.

[@chipshotz1]

Should compare it to the Rogue

[@SecularM0nk]

I just watched a video to see what his favorite color was..

[@cbisjr]

please compare against ST200 vs SIM max vs TS3 vs Mavrik but try to use the same shafts or at least same weight.

[@jbspullins1725]

Great review. Would like to see you test the Cleveland HD turbo. Seen it on a few other channels and it seems to be a rocket. Would like to see it up against the big dogs.

[@markpreston6345]

Still can't get over the look of that inertia generator on the SIM 🤔🤔🤔But have seen a post from Callaway Europe advertising the custom shop stuff this morning so would be able to get over the colour thing there 👍👍⛳

[@Talesofthegrape]

Why do you compare a low spin taylormade model with a standard one in the callaway?

[@Irishtrucker]

Could you do a 3 way comparison between the sim-Ts2-st200. Looking to change out my 8 year old Titleist 913d2

[@plus2golfer12]

Still haven't seen anything to replace my m3...SIM is growing on me but not paying 500$ for fractional advantages if any at all

[@gagolfanddrones487]

I like the orange.

[@oliverw4009]

Mavrik looks a bit old school to me. it may be more forgiving but Sim definitely allows for more distance(speed injection and the inertia generator).

[@leandreashuff3010]

Thank you for getting a mic. It makes your videos better to watch.

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Well that's a tight race between the SIM and Mavrik. They are neck and neck in distance.

[@MrBrokentowels]

I think the Sim club head speed is a misread. When I tested it, the ball speed was the same as the maverick and so was the smash factor. But oddly enough the Sim gave me higher clubhead speed which led me to believe that the read is incorrect. 3 miles an hour faster with the same smash factor would lead to about 10 yards further

[@markdavis7358]

Hi James Would be great to see you test the XXIO driver. Thanks

[@gavinleeburn1]

Waiting on my sim max cant wait certainly impressed with the numbers over my current ping g410

[@davepalmerton2429]

Don't think you could go wrong with either club, be fitted for both and choose for your self.

[@beaney56]

Honestly I absolutely LOVE the sim. Not because I am going to buy it or have any intention of buying it. I love it because it allowed me to bag an ex demo M6 driver in pretty much brand new condition for £150.

[@sg5733]

I didn't make the switch from M4 to M6 so bursting to try the sim asap. I've not had a callaway driver since the Ftiz tour. Seen to hit them left.

[@richardvalentine4133]

Both clubs compare very well, but the SIM has it on looks alone. Would be interested to see the other colour options for the Mavrik. Really not keen on the Orange finish.

[@brianscott3895]

Of course the speed zone. But also the new tour edge driver

[@GOLFADDICT65]

[@stevenhwang6016]

Great video James! How about a comparison of the Mac Sub Z vs SIM. Also, Rogue sub vs Mav sub

[@kuklkahn]

2 yards difference over 300 yards is less than 1% therefore we are choosing on personal preference alone. I like Callaway so that's where I would go.

James would any of these new drivers be any good for Foxy?

[@miked.7722]

We've had our differences in the past but I totally agree with what you say about the Callaway colors "Why do they do that" it's almost like they are trying to get us to pay another $100 to get black on the bottom rather than green or orange yuck. Callaway if someone wants orange or whatever color than black on the bottom let them pay $100 to get it. I think I'd rather paint the orange black myself. How about comparing these two with the Cobra?

[@rogermickcollison4003]

James James you know the Sim is in competition with the sub zero. Why not the Sim Max against the Mavrik and the SIM against the Sub Zero.

[@owenrivard8832]

Your blue shaft would look beautiful with the sim 😍

[@CarlosPerez-hs6cm]

I play the Epic Flash with the green head color. The face is definitely forgiving for ball speed and yardage on miss hits. I am sure that Mavrik is equally a great choice. Sad the Mavrik does not have a slide weight though

I really like both of these clubs, but I really love the burnt orange of the Mavrik. Stop trashing it! lol

[@kylesauerhoefer7668]

Great vid James! ... I don't know if I agree with your choice on this one lol. Preference wise your def consistent, and I get the color and sound issue on these drivers.

[@shaggy4344]

I'd like to see the maverik against the rogue. Most are comparing it to the epic flash but it's not replacing that club is replacing the road so would like to see how much better it is than that

[@jonathanthompson5478]

See the sim with the red shaft at the weekend and it looks shocking 🤮 really kills the look
