One of the good things about Sophie's reviews is the honest distances. I'm an old guy and it's great to hear from the point of view of somebody who hits about the same distances I do. Except she does it all the time ;-)
Ever since the Apex CF-16s came out, Callaway definitely has a formula for good irons that are easy to hit and fly high. The CF-19s were an improvement adding a bit more spin to reduce the fliers over the CF-16s - these Mavrik's seem to be another small improvement. I had to personally reduce the lofts on all my CF-16s to gap them properly but once dialled in they performed very well (didn't love the sound but the shots they produced were very consistent. I demoed the CF-19s but ultimately went with a Mizuno because of more consistent spin control - but I absolutely can see these Mavrik Pros doing well as long as they have dialled in the short irons from producing low spin fliers.
Excellent review. I like that you cleary pick a favorite after doing these comparisons & explain your reasoning for doing so. A little clarity in life is refreshing now & then. Good job
Best review I've seen in a long time. Production value is A+. Great commentary as well. I feel like I really know these clubs now. Rick, Mark, Michael and Andy better take note! ;)
I recently was fitted for the Mavericks and ended up finding that I'm more suited for the Maverick Pro. One thing that I think would have clinched this review is dispersion. The one thing that we noted that changed for the positive, for me, going from the Mav's to the Mav pro was that my consistency was dramatically improved when hitting the Pros. This was partly due to what you mentioned about the Mavs....they go LONG! However great that sounds, I would prefer a club the is reliable to a 5 yard distance vs a 15 yard difference.
I had my fitting on Friday and just loved the max I have been using the X2 hot but with the wrong shafts (stiff and really should be reg). I didn’t really want to go for the max, I thought the Mavrik would be better but the numbers and more importantly the flight of the ball was fab. I play of 12 and honestly think these clubs will get me down to single figures. Great review thanks for reassuring me.
Completely depends on the player Matt - whatever works for you! Have you had a full gap test to make sure that you've got a club for every yardage? Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already, loads more videos coming soon...
@@GolfalotTV i bought a Ping driver. I learned from your review about the Arccos caddie. I'm signing up to analyze the yardage gapping. Thanks again! And yes, definitely subscribed! :)
Tried today both the Mavrik and the Mavrik Pro. Did not like the Mavrik at all. Ok, yes it flies far, I could hit 160 meters carry with it but too low spin for me. And the feeling was not there and it looks like a shovel. The Pro was another league for me. Carry was around 145 to 150 meters which is more than enough for a 7-iron and decent spin numbers. I have Srixon Z785:s now and I am looking for a slightly "easier" club and with Graphite shafts because of my bad right elbow. I will do the fitting for the Pro next week. I might go for regular shafts instead of stiffs.
@@MC-nb6jx long story. Played badminton at Finnish top level for 15 years and played in one national Championship without knowing I had bad sepsis. Then I was 2 weeks in hospital and my playing hand elbow was swollen like a handball for the first days. They said I will get osteoarthritis when I am older as the bacteria destroyed the elbow. Well I might not have gotten it so bad, but as I have been sportclimbing for 26 years, the elbow is finished. I love climbing and even at 61 still its possible to improve but its really hard for your tendons. I have been operated twice but there is nothing to do anymore but get cortisone shots. I have got now a new elbow support made from thin plastic and it helps for sure in golf. Climbing with it is unfortunately impossible :)
Great video Sophie. Good to see the on course testing and driving range testing too, which I much prefer to an indoor simulator. Are you looking to put some Mavrik pro irons in the bag? 😊🏌🏼♂️👍
Sophie, great review. I'm going in for a iron fitting soon. Leaning to the Mavrik Max for the forgiveness but like the standard Mavrik for the distance. What do you think about ordering the Max's with 2 degrees stronger loft. Thanks
Sophie my first watch and thought it was great. I have a couple of questions that I hope you can carve out some time to respond. I like others mentioned probably have more in common with your swing than the guys doing these reviews hitting 7 irons 200 yds. That helps for comparison purposes. 1. Were these clubs in any way fitted for you? If not what would you change regarding setup? 2. The data seemed pretty in line for distance, ball speed etc.You probably would like a little more spin but it was pretty ok. I did note your launch angle was 24 - 26 degrees. Seems a bit high but you tell me? If it was high what would you do to change it regarding setup? Hence my question. I too hit it high like that and want to know if that is the exception or can I modify setup and how? Thanks. Cheers.
joe bixby Hi Joe, firstly they were not fitted to me I’m afraid. I’d have more flex in the shaft, flatter lie angle, smaller grip given the choice. My dynamic loft is high, this is a fault in my swing, which is common in the women’s game. I am forever working on wrist angles at impact to bring the loft down.
@@sophiewalker2542 - Thanks for the response Sophie. I beg you to indulge me once more. You are working on a wrist modification or swing mod. Can you recommend a setup mod that will too commonly lower launch angle? I launch a 7 at 26 - 27 degrees. I surmise if I can lower that into low 20's there is probably 5 - 7 yards to be gained. Thanks again.
joe bixby it’s impact that needs work not so much set up. Unless it’s your grip which I can’t see. I’d recommend seeing a coach and going on a launch monitor with them
Not sure why they have someone who needs subtitles to understand giving a review. Interesting marketing move by Callaway. The Max is a substitute for the Big Bertha, feel like that's very clear. They also have her throwing out all of these technical terms from Callaway and it honestly sounds like a bad car salesman..... Sales person. Subpar video.

I have the Rogue pro irons and love them
Good review. I picked up a set of mavriks today and can't wait to try them out tomorrow!
Always enjoy your honesty in your videos. Looks like Callaway has another winner
Great review Sophie! what a well produce evaluation and honest opinion on each model! thank you

I got fitted and the Mavrik Max W fit me well. Love your reviews and your channel!
Great review. Got myself a set of Mavrick’s. This couldn’t be more accurate.
Great Job Sophie! Enjoying your reviews.
Thank you Sophie very nicely done.
Thanks Sofie, prettiest and best reviewer around. The Mavrik Pro looks right up my alley. Fun to see Rick Shiels old stomping grounds.

Great honest review Sophie. Thx! X
Loved this review. It helped me decide to buy my Mavrik clubs. I just need my golf course to re-open after lockdown to try them out!

Mike Atherton keep us updated with your quest to get down to single figures. Enjoy the journey
Love Sophie's reviews.
Good review. Thanks
Fitted to the standard Mavriks. Hitting it long. Maybe i don't need hybrids. Fairway woods directly to 5 iron?

I received my MAVRIK irons today and wow are they long. I am hitting a 7 iron longer than I ever have.
Thanks for the great irons.
Is that because the loft is the same as your old 5 iron?
Great review Sophie your ball srticking hardly any dispersion. Thanks for that video 👍👍

Peter Squires it’s a close decision between those and p790’s. Maybe I should compare them for you all
Sophie Walker great idea would be good to see what you settle on! A video of the decision making process would be appreciated. Enjoy the process! 😊
Sophie from a feel perspective which is better mavrik max or sim os?
Terrific review! My mother's name as well!
GREAT INFO THANKS
Great review 👍
To improve launch you should decrease lift?
Top of the line review. Thanks!
Sophie, I am loving your reviews! Would love to see you put clubs in your lessons hands.
Great Review.

Love Sophie’s reviews. I don’t feel like she’s talking down to us weekend hackers like guys like Micheal Newton can come across.
I can see that offset is not making any effect on your swing
For me, the standard Mavrik would be the way to go. I don't really see a market for the Max. Nice looking clubs.
dave palmerton hit them all on Trackman. The small dispersion said that I WAS the market for the max.
Great help.
love to see MavPro vs Apex?
Or titleist T300
Gimme that swing and I'll play with my vintage Hogan Apexes from 1980.
Nice butter cut you are hitting there.
Come on Sophie that's a totally unrealistic test, you'd never find yourself that far off the fairway lol
Stephen Jackson haha I have to do all the possibly scenarios
Love this
Apex irons are far more appealing for me
"Well, who is that!!!???" Funny!
Flash face hilarious!
Sim or Mavrik ???
Jess Tilley mavrik is the ultimate performance/distance iron. P790 are what I’d go for with TM
Doc's losing his Scottish accent lol
Stephen Jackson still northern though 😉
@@sophiewalker2542 LOL Yeah your accent isn't going anywhere
Man those irons aren't the prettiest
Jake Allen when “pretty” goes on the scorecard, I’ll worry.
I would never buy anything named Maverick, and that spelled incorrectly too. Stupid marketing
That’s too bad. They’re awesome!
