I'm here today because I hit my buddy's Mavrik and loved it. I'm hitting PXG 0811. Well I just ordered my Mavrik yesterday. 4th driver in 4 years by the way. I really hit this club well and the sound is amazing. I'm 61 and was hitting this club 265- 275 yards. Can't wait to get it hopefully Thursday. Good stuff James.

Purchased, numbers came back better for me than the M4 that I’ve had for 2 years. Unreal bit of kit, love it. Club head speed UP Ball speed slightly UP Spin 2200 👌🏻 Carry & distance down a touch but I’m still 278 carry with the mavrik so 🤷🏻♂️ WINNER.

James I would have to say only 1 real left shot with this driver compared the others is something to think about and in another color scheme for you of course.

The fact that they undercut the Sim ($550) for $500 and give it a FUGLY colorway is just a con move so you spend $600 for the custom colors. That way you say, it's really only $50 more because it was such a good deal...

The color is bad but it's still less important than sound, which is still less important than performance. If the orange bugs somebody that much, they should spent $100 or $150 and send it off for a refinishing and new paint job. Besides, will you (or anybody) care the solor on the sole of your driver when you're hitting bombs by them?
