Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel82
- Looks80
- Forgiveness79
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a slice and want the most forgiving, easiest-launching fairway in the Mavrik line, with a draw setting to lean on.
You want the most speed and a compact shape, or the lowest spin — the standard Mavrik or Sub Zero suits you better.
Pros
- The most forgiving Mavrik — a big, high-MOI head that keeps mishits on line
- A movable weight to add draw bias and straighten a slice
- A low, wide shape that rescues thin strikes off the turf
Cons
- A touch shorter than the faster standard Mavrik
- No adjustable hosel — only the weight moves
- A big footprint that some will find bulky
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe easiest Mavrik to hit — a large 200cc head sits low and broad, lifting the thin, off-the-deck contact that trips most players.
Distance
StrongLong and easy, if just behind the standard head — the bigger shape spins a touch more and gives up a little speed.
Workability
ModestA big, draw-tuned help head — the heavy weight moves to the heel to fight a slice, but it won't shape a shot.
Feel
ExcellentA solid, fast strike that holds up across the face — consistent whether you flush it or catch it slightly off.
Sound
StrongA solid metallic note, a touch fuller than the standard Mavrik — the bigger head lifts the volume slightly.
Looks at address
StrongA large 200cc head that plays down its bulk — a shallow face keeps it looking neat rather than oversized over the ball.
