Callaway MAVRIK driver

Driver, 3.0 of 5 for forgiveness

Callaway's 2020 driver built for speed: a 460cc head with a light carbon crown and an A.I.-designed titanium face for ball speed across the face, and a slight draw bias on Callaway's chart, in 9°, 10.5° or 12°. Callaway no longer sells the MAVRIK new, and the Quantum Max is the current model in its line.

Choose it if

  • You slice: the head has a slight draw bias built in.
  • You play left-handed: it was made left-handed in 9° and 10.5°.
  • You need a softer shaft: it came in Light, the flex Callaway's buying guide calls senior.

Choose something else if

  • If forgiveness comes first, choose the MAVRIK MAX: Callaway rated it Max for forgiveness and named no class for this head.

What changed in the Quantum Max

Both are Callaway's 460cc drivers in 9°, 10.5° and 12°; the MAVRIK's 12° was right-handed only. The MAVRIK has no movable weight: Callaway's chart gave it a slight draw bias with mid launch and mid spin, under a carbon crown with an A.I.-designed titanium face. The Quantum Max slides a 10-gram weight between neutral and draw settings, and Callaway sells it on a face of titanium, polymer and carbon layers that keeps speed on off-centre hits.

No shop we checked sells the MAVRIK new, and used it costs a fraction of a new Quantum Max. Choose it for a cheap Callaway head with a slight draw bias; choose the MAVRIK MAX used for Callaway's Max forgiveness rating, or the Quantum Max for a weight you can set and the newer face.
