Mathews Vertix vs. Mathews Triax
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- The Mathews Triax was the talk of the archery world last year. The 28-inch bow is ultra compact and produces almost no noticeable vibration or noise after the shot.
Mathews followed it up with the Vertix, which has a two-inch longer axle-to-axle length. The bows share an awful lot in common, though there are some significant differences to set them apart.

Really appreciate what you guys do! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the comparison! 1st one for these two bows that I’ve seen. Been waiting for this exact video for a while. I will be buying one of the two in the next couple weeks. Can’t decide which one I want though.
Both are really nice bows. I prefer the Vertix, but if you really want a ultra-compact bow, the Triax works. Hopefully you can find one with the new grip, though. Huge improvement.
ArcheryTalk last question, can you give me your opinion on the dry cycle for both bows? Which draw cycle feels best? Thanks
Barrett Pepper I’d say my Vertix feels a touch stiffer, but both are equally smooth. But keep in mind I’ve got it set up with three more pounds of draw weight.
Very through and informative comparison! Always enjoy your videos! My vertix is on the way!
Glad to hear it. I'm still waiting for most of my 2019 test bows. Should be fun.
You just got ur self another subscriber great stuff
Been shooting Bowtech for years and this year I bought a Vertix. As of right now, this is the best bow I’ve ever shot. Never had groups from 20-80 yards this tight with a bow! Great review! 👍🏻
I shot the Bowtech Realm X really well last year. It edged out the Triax as my favorite bow of the year. Can't wait to get the SR6 in.
Yes for sure. In all honesty I feel every brand makes a well made bow bow. This year the Mathews just felt good to me. Only opinion is Hoyt to me is way over priced with the carbons
Aaron P The Carbon bows definitely come with a hefty price penalty.
Wish you would of did a TX5 vs vertix comparison
Thanks for the info
Do you see lots of difference between the vertix VXR 31.5 and V3 30? I have a vertix curious if it’s worth spending a big chunk of money just to swap
Thanks
Not a lot, no. Vertix might be my favorite Mathews ever.
Great honest review, Mathews makes a very nice bows , like all bow companies they make great bows
I shot the triax at the ATA show and loved it, but unfortunately didn’t shoot the vertix. Great video!
The differences are subtle. Vertix is a tad more aggressive at full draw. Both have minimal noise/vibration. The big difference for me was at longer range. The Vertix shines at 50 yards and beyond.
Yeah they really shoot good nice bows the string dampeners really help both of them a lot . I took the string dampeners off from mine and felt a little hand shock so I end up putting them back on .
Ty Skinner String dampeners don’t do they much, especially the zebra tails that come stock on all Mathews stock strings. The only thing the they no is slow the string by a hair, and would in no way cause more or less hand shock. They are only there to ”theoretically” help the string vibrate less, which in no way is related to hand shock. They may have just been a placebo in your case and you expected their to be more vibe so you only perceived more vibe with them off.
The weight adjustment feature is very clever
So clever that's it's been done before.
@@chrisutech3676 i didn't know that. What company first used the same method?
@Boxing 101 mission rally was the first bow with switch weight mods.
Also, are you twelve years old? Because that the kind Intellect you project with that type of comment. Lol, good day young man.
@@gmivisualsjason3729 mission rally was the first bow.
@Boxing 101 Now I'm certain I'm dealing with a 12 year old. Yes I am such a "newbie" that I knew that mission/Mathew made this technology almost 10 years old. "Insert sarcasm emoji"
Get a life pal
What arrows are u shooting in vertix? I have vertix 1/2 inch shorter draw and same poundage.
Gold Tip Kinetic Kaos
Out of all 2019 short bows I would pick Vertix. Love the shape of the grip, not a big fan of "sticky" material.
I’ve been watching videos on them I want one but I’m use to wrist releases and I’m very interested in learning how to use one so I don’t end up punching myself in the face
I shot them side by side. For noise the same, speed through chrono same, vibration both dead. i only thought the grip was different bit i dont have grip issue's i can shoot any . Both my triax and vertix have 75% mods. I found the difference in 75% and 80% was 5fps faster. Both the best bows i shot to date.
I agree that the Triax wants to jump forward on you.
What size peep are you using?
if i have a 27" draw length , which vertix should i pick? 27.5" or 28"?
I'd go with the one you can get the best deal on. Both are excellent bows. The 27 is a bit too short for me (I'm 6'2" with a 30" DL), but the 28 seemed to work well for me.
Did you use a stabilizer on the triax?
Sometimes, yes. I go back and forth on using stabilizers on hunting bows. If I know I'll be hunting 30 or 35 yards and closer for larger game like deer, I'm not sure it's necessary. I still sometimes do it if I like the way the bow feels, but for closer shots, I'm not sure I'd notice a difference in accuracy.
What release are you using in this video.
Stan Jet Black
Hey can you do a video about the trufire sear
Possibly. I'd have to get one in for testing.
Whats wrong with the grip on the triax?
That's a matter of personal preference. On my Triax (a 2018 model), the grip is wider than I prefer. It was the same grip Mathews used for quiet some time. I never really got along with it. It has been updated for the 2019 model year, which is when the Vertix came out. New grip is narrower and has some texture. I find it more repeatable.
ArcheryTalk thanks for explaining. i guess i never had a problem with it. Thanks!
How would you compare the helix and the vertix??
Along with the PSE Evoke, they are my favorite bows this year. Vertix draw is crazy smooth, but Helix feels a touch easier to pull back. Vertix is super quiet and dead in the hand, though Helix is pretty good in that area as well. Helix has a more generous Valley. Vertix demands more from you at full draw, though it’s not overwhelming. Both are plenty accurate, but the Vertix just feels right to me.
ArcheryTalk awesome. Thank you for the reply. I am just getting into archery at 40y/o and this will be my first bow. I originally was completely sold on the vertix just from watching reviews and taking to people but I about the helix the other day and it did feel really good.
I was late to archery myself, so welcome aboard. Ultimately, I prefer the Vertix for myself, but I'd have no problem recommending the Helix. My review is going up very soon - possibly before you read this comment. Due to it's lighter feeling draw cycle, it might be a better choice for a beginner. Save those shoulders!
ArcheryTalk awesome. Thank you. Look forward to your review.
@@killcarteragain7874 It's up right now.
Hoyt Helix review soon?
Still waiting for it to show up. Only have Mathews and Obsession hunting bows so far. Prime, Bowtech, Hoyt, PSE and Bear should be here soon.
Hoyt had a 28 inch bow like 2 yrs ago
Mikey Woomer Jr the z7 xtreme is 28 inches
How the f**k is this supposed to be different from the halon many years ago? Same cam, same ata, same ibo. For all these years Mathews came up with a different grip?
If you look at specs along, I can see where you are coming from. But it definitely feels different. I'm much more confident with the Vertix than I was with the Halon, though the 32 was a really nice bow.
The main difference is the grip angle and design, followed by the dampener located in the low forward end, and the limbs, which are rated 75+ pounds and regulated by switchweight modules.
3D damping as they call it is a Huge improvement. They even have Hoyt attempting to copy that this year. The grip is a major improvement for Mathews because their grips have always sucked and my opinion the biggest flaw they had for many years. And it is the only bow on the market with the switch weight mods is something else. I used to buy all my bows with 70 lb limbs and turn it down to 65 for comfort during 3D season. Now I can keep my limbs maxed no matter what weight I want to shoot. If you havnt shot it don’t try to compare it to a halon. It’s just not the same.
Guadalupe Jimenez there are plenty of after market grips, I don’t think it is a legit improvement of this generation
@@nightranch6218 The main difference in the grip isn't in the profile or the texture: is in the angle. "Old" Mathews hunting bows as the Halon or the Triax have roughly a 11% tilt, whereas the new Vertix or Traverse grips have a ~15-16% slant, which is in line with most of the other manufacturers have. In other words:
* "I do have a Triax or a Halon, do I need a Vertix or a TRaverse" Andswer: no, Halon and Triax are perfectly fine, but the new bows offers IMPROVEMENTS over the old ones.
* "I don't own a Halon or a Triax and I'm in the mood to buy a new Mathews hunting bow, should I buy a Vertix or a Traverse or a Triax 5?" Answer: Yes, the new models offers improvements in ergonomics, finish, etc. Since the price of first hand units is the same the only reason to buy a Halon series or a Triax bow over the Mathew's 2019 hunting line is if you can find one at good price (usually second hand).
