Awesome!!!!!!!! I have had this driver for a year or two, bought it used, and after looking on the internet and asking every "good" golfer I run into. No one could explain these settings specifically. Great Video ~ Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still rocking an original Epic 10.5 degree driver. I love the ability to change settings and the Epic also has a sliding weight. When I got it the fitting showed the best settings for me were +1 loft, draw setting, sliding weight in heel - yes I had a major slice issue. As the swing improved I was able to dial out the "anti-slice" to play in completely standard settings. During the summer I experimented with the loft at -1 degree to promote more run out but the reality was it made very little difference
Tried a friend's Mavrik Callaway driver and liked it so much I bought one for myself. It was at a different setting than hers at first, then adjusted it to mirror hers, now trying another setting that I'll play tomorrow. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm!
I just today received my Maverik driver replacing a Big Bertha V Series. The comment about the line that adjusts the grip was very helpful. I initially changed the loft from 9 deg. to 10 deg. and Neutral to Draw. The grip was 180 degrees twisted. Just went and did what you showed , very good. I had not seen that explained before.
One huge part missing from Callaway is the fade setting. Only lie and loft but only draw, no fade. Some people like a flat setting - need to fix this more than the grip in my opinion. Titleist surefit allows for this
Hello , Paul here , I bought one of these and 1st what a confusing adjustments , before I hit around 220 yards with the f5 cobra now I've had this a week and at first the settings through me but a tweek here and there and I've gained yards . I am 66 next month and a senior golfer and the gain at first was slight 233 234 235 240 257 and today another tweek and yes 50 yard gain my first 270 yard drive . YET I STILL CAN NOT FIGURE THE DUAL ADJUSTMENT ON THIS DRIVER . BUT HOW NICE IT IS TO HIT . PAUL
if like me you have a 2nd hand AJUSTABLE driver try these , I am and always will be I thought a fader so loved my loft on the cobra f5 to 9 % then changed weights around and bingo 262 yard one off , but I've bought the mavrik now and 270 yards in first week. paul
Titleist surefit is so much better as a left handed golfer. Used to play callaway and always had to worry about finding a LH shaft adapter or reversing the settings when testing shafts. Also helps that TS3 is a beast!
Hi Michael, I am awaiting delivery of a new Callaway B21 driver with a senior shaft and a 10.5 degree loft. This is to replace my 15 year old BB Bertha with a similar loft. Having seen this video for the first time, does this mean, that with a few simple moves I can change the loft of the B21 from 10.5 to 9.0 degrees? I ask this as I have recently read where they did tests with average golfers with slow swing speeds who actually gained significant distance with a 9 degree driver as opposed to their regular 10.5 one.
No change of shaft's orientation after change of loft is especially good for frequency matching golf clubs, as long as it was well fitted when you bought them.
Always played callaway drivers for the last ten years until this year. By accident went for a cally mavrik driver and hit it against the cobra and taylormade then the fitter handed me the titleist ts3 to try and that was that i was sold. Best numbers all round and i got fitted last month for the new tsi3 and again it didn't dissapoint. Have to say i game the mavrik fairway and hybrid though as they fit me better. The irons are mavrik pro graphite and i love them, so fair to say i have a sweet spot for callaway gear.
No. As long as the hosel settings are facing down when connected to the driver head, it doesn't matter where the line on the hosel adapter is facing. It's just to help you line up the shaft graphics
I know that the "D" setting makes the club more upright. I wish I knew how many degrees. The Triple-Diamond is 2° flat by default. I'd love to return mine to the typical lie angle because I'm taller and have a more upright swing, and I prefer a neutral club.
The screw isn't what's making the click sound. The tool the club comes with has a design where when the screw reaches the desired torque the wrench will click and not let you tighten it any farther. Basically a non-adjustable torque wrench, hope this helps!
Hello Michael I have a big Bertha b21 and it has had a new shaft put in which doesn't have the dash on the shaft side of the hozzle will this make a difference to the settings?
Hi I'm the golf player playing of 6 handicap . Can you please send me the structure of setting the mavrik driver in hitting furthest distance with natural draw
I’d say start at the highest loft most draw setting. Say you have a plus 2 D I’d put it on that and then adjust. But trust me someone that struggles with a slice or hook. This isn’t going to do anything significant to help. One degree in either direction isn’t changing your swing. You may get a higher or lower ball flight out of it but that’s only when you turn it to the extreme which is 4 degrees of loft in any direction
Fed up hitting driver low left with these settings,XR pro 9 degree.Set +2 n and +1 n both will out of the blue go low left not a duck hook.Have X stiff shaft.Is the +1 and +2 setting a close of the clubface with Callaway.When I get it right the +2 n which is 11deg the launch is still not high.Could it be the shaft is too stiff for me at 70years age Michael.
Question i have a rogue with 10.5 degree the lower i can go with it is -1 thats 9.5 if i want to go lower i just have to buy a 9.0 degree shaft or have to buy the head to?
If I don't have a 360 grip would it change the rotations if I changed the settings? I like to used Golf Pride align grips but on the drivers and fairway wood the if I change the settings the grip rotates.
I am traditionally a fader/slicer of the ball when using a driver. I was fitted with the B21, the setting was straight draw. When I took it to the course last night, everything was a pull draw. Clearly something in the set up. I have not had a chance to play with the settings yet...any advice would be appreciated
Yea, the Callaway drivers are almost all coming with a draw bias at the neutral settings. If you then set it to the draw setting on top of that then you are increasing the draw bias further. It is to help the slicers. The new Epic LS Max comes with a fade bias. The pull part of a pull-hook is likely the ball being too far forward or swinging across the ball. The hook part of it is the club face being too closed at impact. Assume you line up straight, pull the ball back a touch until the launch is up the center of the fairway. If you are still pulling it, then you maybe swinging across the ball. If the ball is still giving you the draw curved flight, then open the face just a touch.
@@MichaelNewtonGolf I figured it out. I was misunderstanding I thought the top one was only for loft and the bottoms one was only for lie angle. Felt a little stupid once I got it figured. 😂
@@keithstarnicky6993 unfortunately I can't answer that question? I just know if I buy a more lofted driver and loft it down it helps me fight the ball going left
another video that explains it. face angle isn't affected assuming the player addresses the clubface square to the target (as most do) ruclips.net/video/tKPY51evEh0/видео.html
Hi Mike just a quick question does adding/taking loft change the lie angle also? I know it opens/closes the face but does it also change lie? Or is this purely done with the S/N/D (second) cog? Cheers buddy
Tom Wishon has a video on adjustable drivers and says the loft you adjust to is only achieved if the club is soled with a square face angle. so adding loft DOESN'T close the face and removing loft DOESN'T open the face. Put it this way, if you could theoretically add 5 degrees of loft, which "closes the face" what is the loft if you simply turn the club to where the face is square? The club can be soled at address in any number of face angles. Just sole it square and you have the loft you've adjusted the sleeve to.
Can ANYONE confirm or DENY that when the Sleeve is at (-1)&N that the club is actually Open or Open and also De-Lofted? I've always set my Callaway Drivers at -1&N to be truly NEUTRAL and my 3woods to (+1)&N and they will be slightly draw-biassed (i use 13.5 3wood heads playing at 14.5)
it doesn't. According to Tom Wishon, that's not true. Watch his video. ruclips.net/video/aj5KOk2oXU0/видео.html You only get the stated loft when the club is soled in a neutral (not open or closed) position. You can either get the loft and lie OR the face angle. Not all 3
I've had Titleist drivers, Taylormade Drivers, and Mizuno drivers in all the years of playing. I just bought a Rouge Max St driver (It's the first time I've ever bought anything Calaway) and I have to say, the Opitifit setting system is complete trash IMHO. Everyone else got it right. I'm selling this driver and not buying anything Calaway. I might try Wilson or Spading. Anything is better than this stuff! What bothers me the most is the sound when I hit it clean. (the ball goes +300.) but that sound,,, is very ugly. The adjustment system barely works! I adjusted for a Draw. But I still have to work my hands for the ball to actually draw. So the adjustment didn't do anything! With the others, if I chose to set the club to Draw, the feedback is immediate. I don't have to change my swing at all! No wonder when you watch the PGA, those guys Playing the Rouge can't hit the fairway. I would rather use Persimmons driver.
I SLICE HORRIBLY 😳🤦♂️🙄 how should I set my Callaway Mavrik driver?? Currently @ +1 D .... I actually just adjusted it for the 1st time but haven't swung her yet

Hey paul, What are the settings you tweaked to get the most yardage? Care to share

Rogue driver, 10.5 loft, set it at D +1 and basically removed the slice from my drives
I just picked that club up. Thanks for the tip!
Epic speed for me… also 10.5 and D +1 is definitely the slice fix. Nice penetrating baby draws.
If I’m -1 then D, does that still promote a draw ?
i have the mavrik. i’m going to try this to fix my slice

Can I ask a question - does it affect performance of the club in any way if the hyphens are not lined up ?
No. As long as the hosel settings are facing down when connected to the driver head, it doesn't matter where the line on the hosel adapter is facing. It's just to help you line up the shaft graphics
I have a natural draw path but I like to know how I can set it for a more straighter drive. Any help would be appreciated

Same. If you set the club at "D" setting, do you get 1* or 2 * upright?
What does the W on the opposite side of the I ? thanks
Thanks for a great video. Does the screw need to make a click when you have reached full tightening?
The screw isn't what's making the click sound. The tool the club comes with has a design where when the screw reaches the desired torque the wrench will click and not let you tighten it any farther. Basically a non-adjustable torque wrench, hope this helps!

top letter d or bottom letter d what is each for
D is draw setting which makes the club more upright in the lie angle. It doesn’t matter if it’s the top D or bottom D, they do the same thing
If my D setting is in the middle does that still indicate draw bias? The top number is -1
My adapter broke on the shaft side…I havent noticed any differences - Do I need to replace?
👍👍👍
I have a Callaway rogue LS max Left-handed but it has a right handed optifit adapter what would be standard settings on the adapter
Question i have a rogue with 10.5 degree the lower i can go with it is -1 thats 9.5 if i want to go lower i just have to buy a 9.0 degree shaft or have to buy the head to?
Does the lie angle change as you change the loft? My best lie angle is55?
Got a Callaway V series 10.5 Lefthanded how can I tell if the adaptor is a Lefthanded one or right handed
Mike, you told us what difference manipulating the hosel would make, but not really HOW it works. Tell us Uncle Mike. 😁⛳👍
I swear that my optifit is neutral when set to draw and is closed off when set to neutral. Not a big deal but I think mine is mislabeled.
Yes but what is the W on there for, been trying to find that out for ages and no one seems to know.
W stands for "wood" AFAIK
I would like to know, if you line up the logo of the shaft with the W setting to have the logo on top does it affect the spline angle of the shaft
Any longevity issues playing down a degree?
There is a small W. What does that mean?
Did you find out what the W stands for ?
Wood shaft
one question, if your a lefty ,how do you set the adjustments for N/S? thanks
You’ll have a left hand tip adapter so just set at NS 👍
If I don't have a 360 grip would it change the rotations if I changed the settings? I like to used Golf Pride align grips but on the drivers and fairway wood the if I change the settings the grip rotates.
not on a callaway
Hello ~ could you explain me to where the heavy weight should be placed to make high launch angle ? Front or back ?
Back

If the ball is still giving you the draw curved flight, then open the face just a touch.
Can you explain why theres 2 "D's" in the setting? One on each setting of the neck
so there are two draw settings on different loft settings.
What does the "W" under the adapter rings mean?
I must be doing something incorrect. I have the XR16 driver and my align grip shifts when I change the settings. Any ideas? Happy New Year by the way.
The tick marks on the head (right below the loft number) and on the hosel need to be lined up.
@@brianpetersen6128 Thank you Brian. Happy New Year!
So some of the setting I want to use do not line up right. Do I switch the rings top to bottom to get them to line up?
What settings do you want?
@@MichaelNewtonGolf I figured it out. I was misunderstanding I thought the top one was only for loft and the bottoms one was only for lie angle. Felt a little stupid once I got it figured. 😂
Thanks mate, but I wish this wasn't gifted to me so I can go back to a 3 wood for driving.
Are shafts the same for both right and left? If not do you have to twist it around a full 180
Does the optifit 3 work on a rogue subzero driver?
Yes
Main question is when you use the -1, +1, or +2, what does that do to the face angle?
Lofting up closes the face and lofting down opens the face.
@@awp7662 But by how much?

-1 setting looks face opened slightly
Why?

Can you REALLY change loft? Aren't you merely opening/closing the clubface? Why not do that at setup? It's good coordination practice.

I suggest don't buy callaway until make something more useful as this isn't an confusing
Does minus -1 and N start making the club sit open?
As the loft is reduced, the club sits more open, that's when the D setting comes in handy.
Really a shame the author doesnt monitor his channel and answer questions.
It's not as good as titleist.
