Our easiest to hit Mavrik driver features two interchangeable weights for a MAX forgiveness or MAX draw configuration. The description that PING offers for the G400 MAX driver would lead many to believe that this is simply a game-improvement driver that was created for higher-handicap players. And with nearly 10,000 combined MOI points, this is certainly a driver that will help mid- and high-handicappers hit the ball straighter and keep the ball in play more often.

In 2020, TaylorMade retired the M family and debuted three SIM drivers. The name is an acronym for “Shape in Motion,” a new philosophy embraced by the company’s designers that stresses better aerodynamic for more clubhead speed, along with a low and back center of gravity for enhanced stability and forgiveness. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and a host of other players quickly added a SIM driver to their bag in early 2020.

For 2021, TaylorMade updated those clubs with the release of the SIM2, SIM2 Max and SIM2 Max D drivers.

As with their predecessors, the SIM2 drivers have an aerodynamic shape and a large weight in the back of the sole that TaylorMade calls an Inertia Generator. It is asymmetrical to allow air to move more efficiently across the sole on the downswing, yet still pulls the center of gravity down and back to create a higher launch.

Many golfers who are familiar with last season’s SIM driver will notice there is not a moveable weight in the new SIM2, but the biggest difference between the two clubs is really the multi-material construction and how TaylorMade used it to create more discretionary weight.

The SIM2 drivers feature a six-layer carbon crown that weighs only 11 grams. The sole is now also made from carbon fiber, a nine-layer piece, and it weighs only 12 grams. Finally, instead of designing the back of the chassis using titanium, TaylorMade made it with a forged aluminum ring that internally clips to the front of the head.

In essence, TaylorMade has removed as much weight as possible from the top and middle of the club, where it does nothing to enhance performance, and shifted it to the front and the back

To enhance ball speed, the inner-facing side of the titanium hitting area is now CNC-milled to ensure it is made to the tightest manufacturing tolerances possible. TaylorMade also added a Speed Pocket slot in the sole to protect ball speed on low-struck shots and Twist Face to help golfers hit straighter drives. However, the SIM2 has just one port (in the toe) where the resin material is injected into the head instead of the two ports in the face, as with last season’s SIM drivers. Finally, all three SIM2 drivers have an adjustable hosel that allows players and fitters to increase or decrease the stated loft by as many as 2 degrees.

All three SIM2 drivers are 460 cubic centimeters in volume, but there are subtle differences between them. The standard SIM2 is the lowest-spinning option and produces the lowest launch. It has a larger face than last season’s SIM and a higher moment of inertia thanks to a 16-gram weight in the Inertia Generator, so it also should be more forgiving.

The SIM2 Max has a 24-gram weight, which helps make it the most stable and most forgiving of the SIM2 drivers. It produces about 200-300 rpm more spin than the standard SIM2 but should resist twisting more effectively on off-center hits.

Finally, for golfers who battle a slice, the SIM2 Max D has its Inertia Generator designed more to the heel side, so the face should close more easily on the downswing to reduce sidespin. However, because its 22-gram weight is still all the way at the back of the sole, TaylorMade said the draw bias does not come at the expense of forgiveness.

Distance with proper forgiveness. If this is your choosing criteria of golf drivers, then Callaway Mavrik Max might be the driver you should be using. Apart from the Mavrik standard, Mavrik Max provides better forgiveness with quite similar carry and distance. But is that all about Mavrik Max? We will be reviewing that from a few different perspectives in this article. And surely the article will answer all your doubts.

Introducing Callaway as a Brand and Their Mavrik Drivers

MAX

Max Driver Shaft Length Pga

From learners to professionals, every golfer is familiar with the brand Callaway. They are one of the best in this industry of creating innovative, high-performance golf equipment like golf balls, golf clubs, cart bags and so on. And you know this is quite a challenge to establish and maintain such a brand name among golfers when there are so many companies doing the same. Callaway was a pioneer in introducing machine-made golf clubs with A.I. designed Epic flash series. The Mavrik series has enriched that success. GolfDigests has listed the Callaway Mavrik drivers series on the GolfDigests’ hot list 2020.

The Mavrik Max has a 460cc club with 2 (two) weight ports, with one in the heel. And that is the USP for Mavrik Max. When the 14-gram weight is placed there, you get a large draw bias, but when that weight is in the back, it plays like a traditional high-MOI club with a low and deep center of gravity.

All 3 in the Mavrik series feature almost similar features and designs yet they are unique and those little changes play a vital role for many golfers. Some might prefer Mavrik standard over Mavrik Max, some would go for Mavrik Max over Mavrik standard or Mavrik Sub Zero. You should not be surprised if you see golfers owning all 3 of this series because they are so good to have.


Features & Benefits

From the epic flash series where Callaway introduced AI designed Flash face, they have continued that feature with Mavrik series as well along with jailbreak technology and T2C triaxial carbon crown. But Mavrik Max is even better from the Mavrik standard as it also features interchangeable weight. This could possibly be a better version than weight adjusting perimeter what Callaway used in the Epic Flash.

The same jailbreak technology has
been used in the Mavrik series as it
was used in Epic flash series too.
The idea behind jailbreak is to stiffen
the body for more energy transferred
into the flexing of the face and thus,
in turn, to propel the ball forward.

This is the feature that made Mavrik
max stand out from the Mavrik
Standard. With the Mavrik Max drivers,
you get two interchangeable weights
(14g and 2g) positioned in the sole
near the heel and rear. You can put
14g in the rear for maximum forgiveness
or in the heel for maximum draw.
The new FS2S titanium is lighter in weight
than traditional titanium but extremely
strong and provides optimal speed and
spin robustness than the previously
used flash face in Epic Flash.
