That's an absolute rocket!!!View attachment 9027714
I’ve played this hole a hundred times. I found a spot I have never been before.
Had my first outing with the new Max LS and the results were promising, but there's work to be done. What I found, with the settings at -1/N and weight about 2/3 of the way to the toe side of the track, was the newfound draw with the driver remains but is definitely dialed down. Unfortunately I picked the head up at the post office and headed down to the golf course so I didn't get any time to really play with it so the results were mixed.
Hole 5 - dogleg slightly left, so I was trying to hit a draw anyway, but over cook it and lose the ball left. Not a great swing, but I was pleased to see a strong draw rather than the straight up hook I had been seeing.
Hole 6 - Best of the bunch. Pretty much a dead straight hole, line up down the right side of the fairway and produce a nice slight draw that gets out to 275
Hole 8 - Straight with woods right and pond left. Aim down the middle and over draw the shot into the pond. Again, ball is moving left quite a bit but it's not a hook so I'm okay with it despite the lousy result
Hole 10 - Another straight shot, another similar result. Again start the shot right down the middle of the fairway and it draws off to the left but stays in play just in the rough. Definitely the most well struck of the bunch as this one gets out to 295. At this point we're running out of daylight so I decide to take another swing with this one and to trust what I was seeing. So I line up down the right side of the fairway and fire away. Similar result as it draws back but starting it up the right side lands me in the middle of the fairway and this one was a solid 20 yards deeper than the first one so very pleased in that aspect.
All in all I'm very encouraged, as the (hundredth) new swing seems to work well with the driver and has really helped my iron play. I think my next move with this will be to adjust the weight all the way toward the toe side of the track as, from what I've been able to find, that should help tone down the draw even further. Please correct me if that's wrong . I'll also play around with my grip to see if I can find the right combination.
The one thing that really jumped as different for me was the sound. I'm not usually one to notice sound but this has a very different sound than the B21 had, being sharper to my ears. Not unpleasant, but definitely different.
Your results are pretty similar to mine. If I try to step on and hit a draw, it becomes a hook so I've learned if I swing easy, it's hard to hit a bad one with this driver. The sound is a big change from the B21 and was kind of shocking going from the muted sound of the B21 to Max LS.
I have actually went back to the Evenflow Riptide shaft in my Speed head and it has been great. Just nice little draws most tee shots.I'm still tinkering with shafts in mine. Doesn't help that my Mavrik has been on point since I picked it up... Need to find some time to hit the range with it and get it dialed in. Lord knows I've got plenty of driver shafts with Callaway adapters in them.

Phew, I'm actually really glad to hear that the sound stood out to you as well. I was borderline worried there was something wrong with it . I hit one at the LGS a few weeks ago but didn't really notice the sound, but out in the real world it definitely caught my attention.Your results are pretty similar to mine.

I would agree, it was just a shock coming from the B21. I also agree on feel, I feel like I get better feedback on face contact with Max LS than I did with B21.The first time I hit it, I was a bit shocked as well, but it's not terrible. If it's possible to separate sound from feel, I prefer the feel of the Max LS.
