I'm the type that when I can play my drive into the green, in other words a playable shot, I feel successful. It's not easy hitting the fairway consistently in the game of golf for most people.

To be honest - That is what I feel with the EF, It just performed so good for me , I'm sure what I want Mav Max to do differently.
I had a great year with EF and have no really complaints however buying a MM now at EOY pricing eases the pain if doesn't work out.
The shafts arrived today. Going to put some tour velvet +4’s on them, the I just need the warm weather for a range session!

During our round Saturday my buddy looked at me and told me not to even look at other drivers for a long time. Now he knows better than that with me but the regular Mavrik has brought stability to the portion of the bag that killed me most of the year.
Me three! I'm still streaky because I suck at golf, but this has been a straight bomber for me when I do my part. I'm going to do a fitting next year, but not sure I'll be able to let go of this one too easily.

Well those that got in on the BF deals made out - Full price now on CPO $322
Planning on a good range session early this afternoon.
Going to use the Rapsodo to compare the Rogue White vs Attas Coool 6s vs Hzrdus Yellow.

Looks like fun! Be interested in your findings.
Definitely interested in your numbers. I tried the Coool a few years ago and it launched way too high for me. Currently in the Yellow, which has worked out reasonably well.
The Attas coool 6 won out yesterday based solely on feel and perceived performance on the range.
The Rapsodo didn’t work, so no data. Will try again today.
As of now, I fully plan on the attas being in the bag for a round tomorrow

What happened with the Rapsodo?
I’m no shaft expert, but it seems like Callaway did a really good job pairing the Mav head with the Riptide. The combo works well for me, very happy with it. I haven’t messed with any other shafts because I’m not even sure what I’d want to try to improve. The biggest improvement would probably come from changing out the loose nut at the grip end of the shaft!

They did, it is a very smooth feeling shaft. It seems to play true to flex for me. It is also a decent looking shaft graphics wise.I’m no shaft expert, but it seems like Callaway did a really good job pairing the Mav head with the Riptide.

I have a factory Riptide 60X off my first Mavrik SZ that's been sitting here for quite a while now, if anyone would be interested. If not I should probably get off my butt and sell it on eBay. Seems a shame to let it go to waste.
My Coool 7X feels fantastic in my
. Surprisingly, it feels softer than the Ventus 7X. It’ll be interesting comparing on course.
Shaft battle update.
finally got the Rapsodo working. Very very interesting results.
My swing was not on point yesterday. When it’s off, I tend to have a two way miss.
I like the Rapsodo a lot, unfortunately it is still somewhat limited, so when comparing shafts I actually have to use a separate pre-set club to actually record data.
For this test:
Head is Mavrik standard
Rapsodo clubs:
D: Rogue White shaft
5w: Hzrdus Yellow
Ot: Attas Coool 6
very interesting results. As I stated, swing as off, but good enough to feel confident in the data.
I didn’t swing the Rogue White as much, as I knew the tendencies to have a two-way miss.
results:
While I feel the coool 6 seems to have a great feel, it sprayed quite a bit with a two way miss.
The Rogue White showed why it has been my gamer the last couple months. Stable and productive.
Winner: Hzrdus Yellow. At least in this windy cold early winter. The very interesting part, was that I could not miss wide right. Completely stayed away from the right side. Penetrating flight. Misses were generally left, but that’s okay at my home course. This goes directly in the bag for my round today.
Will update post-round.

Post round update, 9 holes:
Only missed 1 fairway with the Hzrdus yellow shaft. Hole 9, and it missed/plugged 2 feet off the right side of the fairway in the rough.

Another great day with the Mavrik Max despite significant post-lesson swing confusion. I did lose one OB, but it was actually a decent ball just a tad left. Took 10 drivers today and had open looks on 9/10. This thing is a weapon!!!
Did a driver fitting today. Didn’t want to get crazy with upcharge shafts and whatnot so I just hit stock offerings and made adjustments as needed.
Ended up with the Mavrik Sub Zero with a 10.5 head. Draw setting with the Riptide 5.5R shaft.
It will be nice going into the new year with confidence in the big stick.
Also hit Sim, Sim Max, & Ping G410 FWIW.
