Where it wins
- Feel83
- Sound83
- Looks81
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You lose shots to the right and want an easy-launching, ultra-stable head without paying new-club money.
You like to work the ball, prefer a compact head, or want sharp feedback on your strike.
Pros
- The most forgiving driver Callaway made in 2020 — the highest MOI in the range keeps mishits fast and straight
- Real slice help: moving the heavier weight to the heel builds in a strong draw
- Long and easy to launch, and a genuine value now on the used market
Cons
- Five seasons old — newer max-forgiveness heads carry more MOI and speed
- The draw bias and big footprint fight a fade and any shot-shaping
- Muffled feedback means you don't always feel where you caught it
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe most stable Mavrik — the highest MOI in the line means even poor strikes hold their speed and stay close to line.
Distance
StrongLong and easy — a fast face and high launch that carried near the top of its year's driver field.
Workability
ModestBuilt to go straight, not to be shaped — the draw weighting and big head make a fade hard to hit.
Feel
ExcellentA dense, muffled strike where even bad misses feel much like the middle — reassuring, if short on feedback.
Sound
ExcellentA firm, short report with little ring to it — dense rather than lively at impact.
Looks at address
StrongA large, confidence-building head with bold colour flashes — imposing on the shelf and steadying at address.
