I'm here today because I hit my buddy's Mavrik and loved it. I'm hitting PXG 0811. Well I just ordered my Mavrik yesterday. 4th driver in 4 years by the way. I really hit this club well and the sound is amazing. I'm 61 and was hitting this club 265- 275 yards. Can't wait to get it hopefully Thursday. Good stuff James.
One of the best sounding drivers ever, it actually sounds like it is solid, not hollow. Almost like a persimmon driver. Cant wait to hear it outside (once the 2' of snow disappears.)
You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last days xD
Purchased, numbers came back better for me than the M4 that I’ve had for 2 years. Unreal bit of kit, love it. Club head speed UP Ball speed slightly UP Spin 2200 👌🏻 Carry & distance down a touch but I’m still 278 carry with the mavrik so 🤷🏻♂️ WINNER.
You never disappoint always honest and true with your reviews 👏👏, I would definitely try this driver even with the stupid name and colour because for some reason callaway drivers work for me
@@leeroberts8824 I haven't unsubbed anyone, I like Crossfield for the way he tries to substantiate manufacturer claims with his own unique style. Rick's stuff is really slick now, but seem to watch him less and less. I just think James is killing it atm.
@@liamdobson6624 Always come to Robbo first. I think Shiels is a victim of his own success. Hard to keep coming up with new ways to keep that many people interested even though his content is top notch.
I had already made my mind up to put one of these in the bag before they were even officially released. My Son’s name is Maverick so that seems to be as good a reason as any to me.
Another honest great review. I totally agree it's all about the feel and sound. You work all week and when you go out to play golf (not a lot at the moment due lovely weather lol) you want to enjoy the equipment you play with.
Should've called it the postman with that colour looks like Ian Poulter should've been using it when he had that disastrous wardrobe issue 🤣.great review James
Good video, glad to see and hear you got miked up as the sound is much more enjoyable. I like the color, Rick Fowler would like that color too. Plus the sound of that at impact is very pleasing.
I like your reviews very much but as I´m a 9 hdcp (with a Rogue driver looking for a new one) and a much slower club speed than you, I think the mid handicapper reviews are more relevant for me so if you would, please.
Being a tinkerer I prefer drivers with moveable weights, but I think I could get this to work. Definitely not a fan of the colour but might try it out later in Spring when it FINALLY STOPS RAINING
My Golf Spy agree with you about the colour/appearance, as do i. They say allegedly that a large chunk of the Callaway reps didn't know how they were expected to sell it to retailers.
Personally I love the burnt orange/black color scheme on the driver and would probably like the custom white/black driver as well but I don't understand what they were thinking on a goldish color on the head cover. James I would have to say only 1 real left shot with this driver compared the others is something to think about and in another color scheme for you of course.
You hit this one pretty well. You pretty much stayed away from the big L. Hard to tell the sound. Not a bad looking club. I like the color choices. Carry on James.
Agree with the colour scheme but a custom version would be 👌 much prefer a non moveable weight too, I always wonder if I have it in the right setting or whether I might be making things worse
James, I really like it. Head to Head against the Cobra? Very nice shape. Looks like a golf club. Don't really like the new color, I liked the green better. Small thing. Edit: of there's a lot of colors? Well... Nevermind then.
The spelling and color scheme, at least for my game, are irrelevant in how the club plays..... it could be pink with Mickey Mouse painted on it I would care less as long as it is a beast off the tee, which it is.... have been playing this club for 18 months and love it !!
James, would like to see you put the Mavrik head to head with the Rogue, given the Mavrik is from that line and not a replacement of the Epic Flash line.
Looking forward to hitting. Think it looks horrible. Currently play the epic flash sz. Would love to see difference between cobra, Taylormade sim and mavrik 👍🏻👍🏻
I’d love to see a review of this up against something like the x2 hot so we can see if technology has really made that much of a difference. I’ve been a member of my local club for a number of years and my longest driver I’ve ever owned is still the Nike Covert 2.0 with the standard Kuro Kage shaft.
It’s nice you can go to the custom shop to change the driver color. But the fairways and hybrids come in the same orange and you can’t change them. So, if you don’t like orange, then what?
Nice Xplanar. You bought it, now you're forever stuck with it, LOL. Good luck getting a 7 foot ring of heavy steel out of your shop, let alone selling it.
Glad to see this new driver from Callaway will be offered in multiple colors! I really hate the stock color they chose for this year. I don’t think the shelf appeal at your local golf shop is going to be all that great unfortunately. Especially with the older crowd. And the Cover???????? Yuck!!!!! Great review James! Keep them coming! Looking forward to trying it
The color is bad but it's still less important than sound, which is still less important than performance. If the orange bugs somebody that much, they should spent $100 or $150 and send it off for a refinishing and new paint job. Besides, will you (or anybody) care the solor on the sole of your driver when you're hitting bombs by them?
That color is not for me. Given new driver prices, it also has to be significantly better in distance and tighter dispersion for me to replace the driver I bought in 2019. Marketing has to be backed up by performance.
The fact that they undercut the Sim ($550) for $500 and give it a FUGLY colorway is just a con move so you spend $600 for the custom colors. That way you say, it's really only $50 more because it was such a good deal...
Are you hitting this 'better' following your visit to the 'German School' ? Or is it in the tech of 'Mavrik' ? Like to see back to back tests vs your M5 !
How do you get that ball speed I swing around 112-115 average and I can only get 150 on my Harmon g80. Other then the occasional bomber I’m doomed. My Consistency is terrible ☹️
Yet again Callaway flooding the market with new gear making you very expensive old gear worthless 😡got caught out once won't be going back. Good video as usual though 👍
That's just ignorant 😂 They are on a 12month release schedule and everyone knows that. Ur Epic Flash is still relevant, will continue to 2020 in the stores, this is pasicly the same driver with new sound and different color.. Muppet
@@NovaScene check out the Rick Shield 5 year Callaway driver test, in the last 5 years they have brought out 24 that's TWENTY FOUR different drivers 😳 ruclips.net/video/dOoyBoHPVzs/видео.html
James first of all the shirt is lovely nothing wrong with bright colours as long as the trousers and belt match. As for the Maverik name and colour well the name is liveable but only just mind lol as for the colour is absolutely horrible and looks cheap the other colours look nice especially the blue one so why bring out the worst colour scheme possible? Whoever done that he should be sacked lol.

100% agree
Just got one, best sounding driver I’ve had. It has it all for me.
You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last days xD
@Nicolas Eugene Yea, I've been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)
It matches the colour scheme of my Callaway bag. The head cover especially. That, coupled with reviews, has put Mavrik on my radar.
Purchased, numbers came back better for me than the M4 that I’ve had for 2 years. Unreal bit of kit, love it.
Club head speed UP
Ball speed slightly UP
Spin 2200 👌🏻
Carry & distance down a touch but I’m still 278 carry with the mavrik so 🤷🏻♂️ WINNER.
without a doubt the best feeling and sounding Driver I've ever hit,love it,plus got little bit more distance but even better dispersion 👍
You never disappoint always honest and true with your reviews 👏👏, I would definitely try this driver even with the stupid name and colour because for some reason callaway drivers work for me
Fast becoming the best club reviewer, find myself coming to you first! Another cracking review...and I'm with you on the colour, not for me! 🤦🏽♂️
Totally agree Liam. Unsubscribed from Crossfield and Sheils just because of James’s reviews.

Same
Sold
But this is called Mavrik
Golf Buddy different spelling for the same name. Wow how observant of you.

Some good points James around personal tastes with feel and sound. Top review well done.
Should've called it the postman with that colour looks like Ian Poulter should've been using it when he had that disastrous wardrobe issue 🤣.great review James

Like you said, I absolutely love that color
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone
I Wonder if the 3 wood is called GOOSE .....LOL
It has to be 🤣
Just got the demos for these in at my work this video came at a perfect time!
The colour reminds me of the old taylormade burner woods. Not sure that's what they going for
Alot of reviewers are loving this driver. The custum shop will be popular and I think this driver will be more popular than the SIM
I really enjoy your content and insight. Watch your videos all them. Just wanted to give you a thumbs up. So let’s do it, Let’s do it now. 👍🏽
You got a mic! Well done 😂👍 sound is so much better when you have the video cuts! Love it.
Never been a fan of Callaway, but I like the look and sound of the Mavrik.
I like your reviews very much but as I´m a 9 hdcp (with a Rogue driver looking for a new one) and a much slower club speed than you, I think the mid handicapper reviews are more relevant for me so if you would, please.
Great review!! Making me wonder if I should switch from epic flash sub zero. Especially when you said about the colour options. Top job man!
Mid Handicap review please!! As always, great and honest review.....somewhat funny.
Being a tinkerer I prefer drivers with moveable weights, but I think I could get this to work. Definitely not a fan of the colour but might try it out later in Spring when it FINALLY STOPS RAINING
Great review James. No bad left one in there even on poor strikes. Nice
Another great review! I'd go buy one if I could afford it. Also enjoy your humor, makes watching fun 👍

Munting colour, very 70's.... Good review!
Orange and Black are two colors that work well together. Think... Halloween!!!
First comment!😂
Looks like a good driver
Great vid btw🏌🏼♂️
The color scheme matches my Taylor made
Great name especially with Top Gun coming out this year! Sounds better than Sim which reminds me of an old school computer game
I was just fitted today for a Mavrik. I’m very excited to hit the track in the next couple days
I’m with you James, it looks terrible. When has orange ever been good. To eat yes, to drink yes. On a driver no
You hit this one pretty well. You pretty much stayed away from the big L. Hard to tell the sound. Not a bad looking club. I like the color choices. Carry on James.
So looking forward to seeing this club!
Orange and Black is awesome! Go Beavs!
Have to go through the Custom shop to fix the color scheme. My Epic Flash Sub-Zero has red accents instead of the green & yellow and it's sexy!
Agree with the colour scheme but a custom version would be 👌 much prefer a non moveable weight too, I always wonder if I have it in the right setting or whether I might be making things worse
James it went Mavrik, Epic Flash, Rouge, GBB Epic.
If they have fairway woods I really want to see that test! 🤔
James, I really like it. Head to Head against the Cobra?
Very nice shape. Looks like a golf club. Don't really like the new color, I liked the green better. Small thing.
Edit: of there's a lot of colors? Well... Nevermind then.
It looks great may try it but will probably stay with my Ping . Good review James
The spelling and color scheme, at least for my game, are irrelevant in how the club plays..... it could be pink with Mickey Mouse painted on it I would care less as long as it is a beast off the tee, which it is.... have been playing this club for 18 months and love it !!
Good review with improved shot dispersion :) I suspect you won't like my Orange Nike Ignite driver and head cover. Orange is the new black ;)
It looks like you hit it pretty well, James. I may give it a try my self.
Is an orange driver more aero dynamic? Maybe Cobra take the cake on that front with the older Amp range!
Can someone please explain to me how the handicap with these drivers work !!! Releasing them like a Kardashian Series now
As always, a great video. They do a great job on names at Callaway, unlike the flop of "SIM" from Taylormade this year.
Looks nice in black. I think another reason people dont like it apart from the colour is it's just a bit boring, a bit samey.
James, would like to see you put the Mavrik head to head with the Rogue, given the Mavrik is from that line and not a replacement of the Epic Flash line.
Looks good and seems to work well , but Santa brought me the Cobra F9 so my next driver will be in 2025 as they cost silly money for 1 bat !!!
Good review thank you 🙏
Looking forward to hitting. Think it looks horrible. Currently play the epic flash sz. Would love to see difference between cobra, Taylormade sim and mavrik 👍🏻👍🏻
Would look great with an orange bubble shaft in.
I wonder if Fried Eggs Golf rap this one too!
Thank you!
Great job!
With you on the colour buddy
You are nuts if you don’t play this for at least the next month or two!!
That burnt orange color. Someone at Callaway is a University of Texas grad.
Blue whale is a better name and colour!
Looks forgiving and sounds nice .
Subscribing because of the LAV mic!
Big Bertha Fusion is back
Not even close, lacks the titanium exoskeleton.
Colour scheme !!!
I’d love to see a review of this up against something like the x2 hot so we can see if technology has really made that much of a difference.
I’ve been a member of my local club for a number of years and my longest driver I’ve ever owned is still the Nike Covert 2.0 with the standard Kuro Kage shaft.
I think the big difference in the latest drivers is not good drives, but bad drives...........I think the misses are much better.
Orange club good.
Great test. Really like the shape and sound of the standard MAVRIK but sorry, “ORANGE” cmon!!! Plus £479!! No thanks!!
$650 if u want to change the color
My guess is no better than Rogue so save your money! Does sound good though to be fair.
Love trying new stuff!
Oklahoma State Orange! Might need to game that one!
I love the orange!
It’s nice you can go to the custom shop to change the driver color. But the fairways and hybrids come in the same orange and you can’t change them. So, if you don’t like orange, then what?
love the color
Nice one, but you scared me at 9:15
The color is better than yellow and black F9 and I would care less what it looks like if it performed better than the rest
Irons - mizuno/wedges-vokey/putter-odessy/drivers/fairways definitely-taylormade
Feel, sound and looks are very important to me, if it went 10 yards further but I hated pulling it out of the bag what's the point of it.
Colour doesnt bother me if it performs whack it in bag ...but the custom colours look qaulity
The color more than anything is just bad. Performance speaks for itself. Custom all black is the way to go!
It definitely needs a Spoiler! F1 TECHNOLOGY.
Nice Xplanar. You bought it, now you're forever stuck with it, LOL. Good luck getting a 7 foot ring of heavy steel out of your shop, let alone selling it.

Besides, will you (or anybody) care the solor on the sole of your driver when you're hitting bombs by them?
Will you be reviewing the Marvik pro irons?
One word - paint.
Any chance of a video comparing the new maverick and the epic flash
You think they would at least have the head cover match the color of the club head.
The colour scheme is awful. Think they want people to go custom shop
Yep they do it on purpose
Must be intentional. Thats 2 driver releases with hideous launch colours.
The orange makes it look older in my opinion
That color is not for me. Given new driver prices, it also has to be significantly better in distance and tighter dispersion for me to replace the driver I bought in 2019. Marketing has to be backed up by performance.

Does it have a big face? The face looks huge compared to other drives
Please can you put it up against the Epic?
Are you hitting this 'better' following your visit to the 'German School' ? Or is it in the tech of 'Mavrik' ? Like to see back to back tests vs your M5 !
How do you get that ball speed I swing around 112-115 average and I can only get 150 on my Harmon g80. Other then the occasional bomber I’m doomed. My Consistency is terrible ☹️
