It's pretty amazing how much distance you retain and how minimal the gear effect is on toe strikes. I've never hit a driver this forgiving before, not even close.I played another 9 this morning and really enjoyed the Mavrik again. The thing that was a relief to see was on toe side strikes I didn't get a huge hook like I was afraid of. My swing is still to blame for missed fairways but I hit a couple of really nice drives and I'm jonesing to get back on the course with it.
Triple Diamond inbound... Assuming FedEx stays on time, I should have it in the bag for Thursday's round.
I'm hoping to see a bit more forgiveness than my EFSZ, but if I get the same performance without the ear ringing I'll consider it a win.
Either way, I'm looking forward to the experiment.
I’m gaming the Epic Flash SZ but went with the Standard Mavrik. Hoping I didn’t make a mistake. I saw a review of all three Mavriks and the sleeper was the Mavrik Max even for higher clubhead speeds. Making me think.
The funny thing is obviously it’s the swing but as soon as I ordered the driver my swing comes back and now the Epic is putting up a fight for her spot in the bag.

The sound is def better in the Mav. After playing mine for a few rounds now, especially with the 8g in the front, it is one of the better sounding drivers I've hit.
Also, I think you will notice the bump in forgiveness, but it isn't night and day. Lastly, be sure to experiment with the "D" hosel setting, as it is quite good for me and not a setting I would typically bother with. Enjoy!
Okay, seriously, what is up with that? I can raise my 9 up and it's nowhere near the 10.5 either. And move the 10.5 down and it's nowhere near the 9 still. I've never been a big fan of straying far from stock lofts and alignments with driver, because it feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole type of thing, but I have done tons of testing with them and they're just completely different heads in terms of trajectory for me.The Max played quite well again last night hitting 9/14 fairways, but most importantly the misses where barely off the fairway and not penal. Have change the 9* head to +1/N and working quite well. Launch is just a little bit higher but no where near as high as the 10.5 was.
Where did you get it? Interesting that some people are getting spec stickers and such on their heads. Mine came from Fairway Golf USA. They essentially turned the order in to Callaway who built it. It has the white Dot in the face. But, didn't have any specifics listed.It's going to have a pile of hot melt in it too so that it plays at D4.5 (since I'm playing a heavy shaft at 44.5").
I was lucky enough to get the most upright head he had in stock already, so I'm guessing I won't need the D setting on this one. But I'm definitely anxious to find out.
It's probably because it's only changing the effective loft. A guy has a way of offsetting that change mentally without realizing it.Okay, seriously, what is up with that?

I think part of it is the open/closed issue. Lofting down the 10.5 by 1 degree and that face opens slightly always bothered me because of my right miss. But with the 9 degree and adding 1 up to go to 10 degree and closing the face slightly give me confidence that I will be back to square at impact and less likely to fade/slice the ball hard. Hope that makes sense.Okay, seriously, what is up with that? I can raise my 9 up and it's nowhere near the 10.5 either. And move the 10.5 down and it's nowhere near the 9 still.
