Agree. Standard Mav was pretty fantastic there. The Max though....was not.I think thats a good thing. Mavrik sounded fantastic IMO
That's great to hear, as I think the Mav Max is probably the best sounding driver I've ever hit (edit: even if Jman doesn't think so, haha!).Here is what I can say about the sound.
I have only hit it indoors in the Tech Studio
It sounds similar to the MAVRIK line to me.
Indeed! That’s the movement forward of the Triaxial closer to where the face and crown meet which I referenced in the article.I found this graphic really telling. We always hear about "weight savings" and how a gram here or there is a big thing for engineers. Now they have saved 18gm and it's allowing them to use that weight savings to add forgiveness (MOI)

With the sliding weight here as well as the dual cog it’ll get much more neutral than the Mav Max would.the conspiracy theory crowd will rehash the tired ol' "they're trying to drive sales to the customs." the looks are very bold, will definitely stand out on a retail shelf, and are polar opposite of what i'd prefer to see. @Jimmy3864 mocked up a pretty sweet custom though.
i'll definitely hit these. i wish callaway would consider a more neutral max model. the mav max has been a great driver for me, but it does have an affinity for the left side of the golf course.
I appreciate that brother, release season is like Christmas for me!@Jman you have been busy. Nice write up. You all are going to have some great products to showcase. Just don’t tell me these are better than the B21 please.
Putting my thinking cap on here (i'm i'll be corrected if I am off base.), I think the spin will come from how forward or back the CG placement is relative to your strike pattern. The APW has traditionally been used to help with ball flight correction and tighten dispersion depending on the players miss. I am going to guess the draw bias here is similar to the Mav Max in terms of how they designed the head for the "draw bias" effect placing weight to help promote the right to left ball flight.

You might need to try them. The first time I hit the Max LS, size, shape, and numbers made me think of you. Just based on things you've said before, there is potential there.
Sidenote- - everyone please forget the golf world isn't made up of THP'ers and mention 'Mclovin' out loud to a fitter. It creates a unique experience I think you all should have.

With the smaller profile of the head it takes less to make bias, additionally, they used the carbon fiber toe patch to take weight from out there and move it internally, creating the bias.Is the draw bias in the Max fairway coming from the lie angle of the head or some unseen weight placement? Trying to understand since the Max is the model with the adjustable sole weights from front to back. I would think those are more for spin management and launch than lateral bias.
Thank God for that, too.They made a conscious effort during the design of this new version in the sound department to keep it more in the line of the Mavrik line than the old Epic Flash line. Something the Callaway engineering teams were well aware of from feedback in the wild.
Apologies. I was talking about the fairways. That’s where I’m confused.
With the smaller profile of the head it takes less to make bias, additionally, they used the carbon fiber toe patch to take weight from out there and move it internally, creating the bias.
That said, they’re adamant that better players can play both this year, and I mean adamant.
Given the size and profile, the Speed should sit more neutral to the eye at address.Interesting. I was hoping it was primarily due to lie angle and I could just order them flatter. Doesn’t look like that’s in play so I’ll have to see which one sits more neutral at address.

I totally agree on the drivers. And that’s super well stated!Agree with this. During our review of the product line, there was no doubt they felt all 3 versions could be fitted to any level of HC and play skill level. Each differentiated themselves enough without losing the performance aspects that will drive consistency between heads. Therefore, it will come down to fitting for swing profile more so than the old tropes of "looking for the bomber driver in the lowest spin" or the "going to have to give up distance to get the most forgiveness". They were very excited about the fact that all 3 head shapes provide great distance and forgiveness with the best ability to fit your personal swing.
Time for new shiny!that's pretty encouraging. i like the idea of the weight in the toe to minimize that toe hook the mav max does not handle very well. i just know my instructor started to lean toward recommending a new driver last year because my swing numbers were good, but we couldn't eliminate the left miss and we were out of adjustable options.
Time for more new shiny!
I think the new jailbreak design could be the differentiator. The way they’re making AI Flash Face abs the new Jailbreak design work together is wildly intriguing to me. The expansion of the speed retention is something I’ll always needWriteup was really solid, explained a whole lot.
That being said, I'm not super blown away by it at the moment that would make me want to upgrade from my flash? I mean if someone said here hit this, well yeah okay sure. I'm just not pacing waiting for release day by the sound of it.
