It was a joy to swing, and we agreed it had a noticeably smooth feel. This is an uncommon head shape in drivers these days.Īccording to Callaway, this increases aerodynamics by reducing drag. The sole sweeps dramatically upward so that the back edge is high up off the ground when the club is in the rested position. The Cyclone Aero Shape is shallow from front to back, with a flat crown. In line with the main trend of 2020, Callaway has diverted much of its attention to producing a faster club head speed. Callaway can then redistribute that weight to various parts of the head, increasing MOI, thus generating more forgiveness. T2C Triaxial Carbon is a lightweight material that allows for huge weight savings. The Jailbreak system, consisting of two internal bars connecting the sole to the crown, has been used since the Great Big Bertha Epic River and has proven to be a valued addition to every Callaway driver.īy placing more impact load on the face, Jailbreak helps to give the face a very satisfying feeling as it strikes. Supercomputers aside, other elements of this club face add to its power.

However, the vast majority of swing data suggests that there has been no increase in performance from the Epic Flash to the Mavrik. There’s no doubt that the Mavrik’s club face is highly advanced, capable of great speeds, and generous in forgiveness. The first iteration of the Flash Face produced some pretty astounding results it was always going to be difficult to exceed the Callaway Epic Flash’s ball speeds significantly. The process involved Callaway’s supercomputers cycling through thousands of face iterations while the AI intuitively learned which exact design would work best to create the best golf clubs. The Flash Face technology was introduced with the Callaway Epic Flash and has been developed further for the Mavrik. Regardless, this is a superb driver with which advanced players and beginners can have a blast. This is not to say we disliked the look of it we were just surprised that such a technologically optimized driver could look so simple.īased on our testing, and the testing of others, there is little evidence to suggest that this driver is capable of 5 more yards than its predecessors, as Callaway claimed. The simple black and orange aesthetic has been a familiar sight for years, so it might not immediately stand out on the shelves. The mind boggles, but one thing’s for sure: this is a great-sounding driver.Ĭomparatively, the looks of the Mavrik are quite unassuming. Somehow, engineers instructed it to dial the club down to ‘pleasing’ sound frequencies. Something else that the AI was tasked with improving was the club acoustics. This is because, again, the AI allowed designers to take unconventional approaches to determine spin rates and weight distribution. It’s been proven to be significantly more accurate than the Epic Flash across the entire face, despite the club having a lower MOI. Coupled with the improved aerodynamics of the Mavrik golf club driver, this is a club that’s capable of some serious distance.īetter yet, Callaway has made no sacrifices in the forgiveness department of the Mavrik. The result is a club face that has been fully optimized for speed. The AI can learn quickly and efficiently, which has ultimately allowed Callaway to adopt some unconventional, ‘Mavrik’ thinking. It also wasn’t uncommon for me to finish my route at the end of the day and have one of my bosses tack on 5 to 6 more stops.The good folks at Callaway sure are smart, but they’re not quite as smart as the computers they’ve been using to build their clubs. It is not entirely managements fault as they cannot purchase a new truck out of thin air but the safety of all of the fleet is the overall reason I left. It frequently would run entirely out of oil resulting in me having to stop at a auto parts store and purchase the oil myself. The truck would occasionally go away for a few days for maintenance and then come back the same as it left. I would complain about this to management each and every day and nothing would happen. By turning off entirely while running or having severe brake fade. That truck would fail me each and every day. The truck I drove most of the summer was H0302. You get to be your own boss essentially which is a major plus and there’s not necessarily a time limit on getting your route done. I enjoyed the driving aspect as I love driving. I worked at Home City Ice as a delivery driver for 4 months during the summer season of 2021.
