Michael, I thought it was interesting that you commented you did not hit the Max very well. When you look at the numbers, they tell a different story. Very Consistent!

Confused, I am really confused on why people keep dissing that a strong lofted iron is labeled a particular number, ie 7. As the proud owner of a set of rogue X's, I am extremely happy. I am 69, had lost a lot of distance, but now I have that back and I can shoot in the mid 80's now. I have the 7-g, hybrids 5-3. I can play at gc's length 6000-6200 and make pars and some birdies. When I play in a tournament and a opposing player uses his 6 iron and I use my 7, I guess I should take a stroke penalty for using a mislabeled club. Ridiculous comments. I do agree maybe we should put lofts on clubs, but high handicappers might get confused. I gapped all my clubs, for me my 7 is my 145-150 carry club, period. I don't care what loft it is!!! Bottom line get fitted and find a set of clubs that make your game easier, which results in more fun. I really wanted a set of mizunos hot metals, but the fitter showed me I was a lot better with the rogue X. These mavriks with the ai face look like they will make face mishits much more consistent. Intrigues me. Bottom line, Golf is a hard game, my rogue X make the game much more fun. Mavriks look like they will improve it .

I used to be a 4- handicapper when i played like 5-6 years ago. I just started again and played 3 rounds with the best round being a +8. I just got the Mavrik pros and immediately made a +2 round. These irons are absolutely fantastic. The stability, length and feel are the best I've ever tried. I also tried the apex pro 19, the nimbus, and the p790s. The Mavriks were, for me, 100% the best. No doubt.

Max lofts are designed to help slow swing speed players get the ball airborne. Saw it on another channel in an R&D discussion with Callaway.

I went to PGA superstore to confirm what irons I was going to purchase and was pretty set on the Mizuno MP20mb irons. A friend of mine went with me and he was in the Callaway booth hitting the Mavrik Pro and told me that I at least needed to try it. I said wasn't interested and he put it in my hand and said at least tell me what you think of it. So I hit several balls and really liked the sound and ball flight. These were very consistent for me on distance and spin. I could work the ball in both directions. Needless to say my new set will be here hopefully by the 8th of Feb. Lesson here is to make sure you give the new stuff a try because you never know what will work best for you.

I just demoed the Max's. My swing speed is slow and these seemed to help with getting the ball up. Not a huge improvement with distance but that is not my goal. Good review - thanks!

I’m a 15 HC and tested the standard Mavriks on a Trackman last week. #1 I don’t care at all about the look of my clubs. If they feel good and fly straight I’m in. Maybe these are ugly. Don’t care. (I also carry the Ping g410, which has its share of cosmetic haters). #2 I’m a reasonably fast swinger with a little bit of fade. Typical iron miss (as you might expect) is a little bit too much fade right. I hit my old RBZ 7i about 165, which is what the simulator showed. Some dead at it, some right of the green. My first three swings with the Mavrik (XP95 S300 shaft) carried within 3yds of each other - around 170 (right on target line), but spin was inconsistent, resulting in total yardage of 180-190. All three felt GREAT through the hands. I knew I had hit too thin on two of them instantly, hence the long rolls. My next three 7i swings were with a Modus 105 stiff shaft. One right, one left, one dead middle. But all spot on spin rates, and all three right around 175 carry, and 180 total yards. Pure feeling. Pure sound. And one was a heel hit they still flew straight enough to hit a green. I thought it was going to be OB when I felt the contact - my RBZ would have been. #3 The punchline for me - the Mavrik 7i might get yardage like my old RBZ 5 or 6 iron, but they have trajectory / height and STOP like I would expect from a 7i. So if I can hit a green as consistently from 185 now as I could from 160 before, isn’t that the point?? That plus the feel...I’ll pick them up this week!

Just went into my local Pro Shop yesterday for a fitting and tested the Taylor Made Sim Max, the Titlest T300's the Ping 710's, the Mizuno JPX 919's and the Maverick Standards. After 2 hours of comparison, I went with the Mavericks and purchased a set. They have a great sound and feel off of the face and were the most consistent of the clubs I hit. I don't need to understand the lofting numbers to know that Callaway is on to something with these irons. While they might not be as aesthetically pleasing as other irons, I'd rather hit the ball well than look good shanking them. Full disclosure, I'm a TaylorMade guy by default and I wanted to like the SIM's more. Just wasn't the case. These irons are legit and I'd recommend going and trying them out if you're in the market for more distance and feel from your current set. This guy seems to be a low handicapper and I don't believe these clubs are really for him, even though he seemed to hit them very well.

The Max is about max forgiveness and ease of getting the ball up in the air, so it has higher loft than the standard. My issue is something labeled as "pro" having a 43* pw.

I just got mine and LOVE THEM! Long & straight (Have the Mavrik)

Why dont you test the various areas of the clubheads and see how this affects performance. Also I would like you to test manipulating ballflight. Great reviews!!

Follow on... that's why I'll keep my Wilson Staff V4 irons. 7 iron 34 degrees of loft.

OMG how is he getting that distance - he looks like he's playing a smooth downwind shot?😵 👍 awesome!

I think they have weakened the lofts because the higher handicap player has enough trouble hitting the ball high enough so give them more loft.

I just order the standard Mavrik Irons. I tend to hit the ball too high so I want the stronger lofts.

For me, it's the dispersion that matters. I didn't hear you discuss it. Which one gave the most consistent distances?

Interesting how you hit the green on all 4 MAX shots. Seems you need the SGI eh?😜

Let me guess, 6 iron loft is 23 degrees? maverik specs: 3: 19* 4: 19.5* 5: 21* 6: 23* 7: 25* 8: 26.5* 9: 28* p: 30* "i'm killing these new irons!"

I like the wider head they r nice

You need speed to get a stronger loft airborn, the max is aimed at beginners or people that need all the help they can get. No point giving them a ton of help and then taking the loft away and negating that help. Would expect a more open mind from a pro.

Taylor Made and Callaway have been confusing me for years. Gave up on both years ago. I buy from golf companies.

A great review Michael and I think it shows that even 5 irons are becoming increasingly redundant. The side to side dispersion was excellent on all three sets, but the front to back dispersion will be a concern for potential buyers of the standard set in particular. The lofts are confusing, but if people can cope with the chunky looks, the max seemed to give the best all round consistency.

Didn't understand much of what you said, but the carry numbers were useful.

Mavrik max is designed for slower swing speeds who need the help thru tech and loft. This is what should be done with all of these super game improvement irons.

Thanks for the video it awesome show i just order a set of Pro so i hope it does a good job for meeeeeeeeeee

Pro and standard are for blending sets and max is a stand alone set I would guess

Thanks for the review Michael. Just one word, yuck. Why are all manufacturers making chunky low lofted garden implements? Why not make a true tweener between a blade and a game improvement club...:-(

Suggest waiting until 2021 or trying another brand. Not delivering as result of vague production/supply chain issues.

Thank you for your video. I will try the clubs.

I'm still confused as fuck. Not your fault Mr. Newton, you did your best in explaining the specs of each iron. How could the regular Mavrik iron has stronger lofts than the Max version? It doesn't make sense. They should have made just 2 versions (regular with lofts that are a club stronger than players's blades and a max version that are 2 clubs stronger).

Standard maverick works for me

Just went from the x22 callaway to the standard mavriks and they are 2 clubs stronger

For someone who can stand the looks the Max does really well

How did the Pro feel at impact, was it soft? It sounded good. I would like a compare Mavrik Pro vs Apex or Apex pro.

5:24...they're making irons in the Pacific now? lol

Great Review Michael.

Have you hit these with those little rubber training bits glued to the faces? I think that would be a good test.

Lytham Golf Academy doesn’t have a lie/loft adjustment tool to tell what the actual loft is? Come on. Great video’s

I have Catalyst 55g 5.0 senior flex. I’m thinking the 65 regular flex would have been a better choice…? Thanks.

I have mavericks. And I do like them. But I’m not getting them as high as I would want. I’ve tried to have ball in front of stance. Do I need to change my swing ? Ive tried to increase loft too

Lower lofts on the max than the std because deplane rules!! Easier to keep on line with more loft.

Think il hang on to my 7 year old clubs for another year

Tested these against Apex 19 Forged. Apex performed better for me.

I would like to see a head to head Sims vs Mavrik irons

If YOU are confused, think of MY state of mind!

Would the pros be better suited for someone who is looking for a little more control with the ball? I'm a 15 handicap trying to get down to a 11-12 but end of season. I only ask because I got the maverick driver and it has greatly improved my game just wondering if the iorns a worth it.

Look at how small those hosel's are on all of the irons. Super short hosel's, all the way around. These companies are ripping you off! There is nothing special here, looks just like the x models from many years ago. Go ahead and buy in...good luck!

You hit the B21 7 iron about 216, these clubs are going 177-88. Do I have that right? Have Callaway Mavriks now want to get b21 irons but the lofts aren't as strong. Did you really hit the b21 iron that much further? Thanks

Ohhh Callaway? 6iron length, 5 iron loft,and let's stamp 7 iron on it. I hit my 5 iron 210, so I imagine that 27* "7iron" would go 195ish. How do you play golf with 30 yard gaps? Club manufacturers are building launch monitor queens that don't work in the real world. My seven iron is 34*,1/4 inch short, and goes 175. I guess you have to carry lw, sw, gap, another gap wedge, pitching wedge, and possibly another strong pw to get to 36* 9 iron! 60 55 50, 45, 40...

I am as confused as you are, Michael. Not a bad looking cub.

What shafts would be good for the Mavrick Max?

Ok so I have a question for everyone, I am an insanely high handicap golfer and need some clubs that would help me at the very least help me it hit a little straighter. I feel the maverick would be the best option because the lofts are very low and I could just get the 6-pw, lw instead of the 5-pw. What do you guys think.

Can you measure the lofts in a machine ?? maybe someone made a mistake with webfiles in the PGA 2020 Show preparation hassle....

First!! And the prices are.......cheaper than PXG 🤣🤣🤣⛳🏌️🏆🍾

It’s not just Callaway doing these lofts...it’s EVERYONE.... stop complaining, stop watching and go by blades people....if everyone didn’t suck at golf so much these companies would stop making this crap.

I don't know why but I can't stand the name of these clubs.

Have a set of standard mavericks for a year now, absolutely hate them, probably all in my head because I’ve always used Wilson irons, changing them for D9 forged next week or so, maverick is the ugliest iron I’ve ever used, looks horrible over the ball, I’ve genuinely zero idea why I got them. Everyone to there own though, just my feeling after a year of ownership..

Have to say that these 'here today, gone tomorrow' strong-lofted irons are not to my liking. The Mavrik line-up is particularly ugly, the Pro maybe just about cutting the mustard. I guess the standard is intended as the ultra-distance iron with the Max more chunky and offering beginners more loft. I'll stick with my Mizuno MP18 SCs!

Should I play rogue x Or maverick max?

Seems that if they stock 1 set it would be standard, & the longest compared to other brands. Most people whom would buy those irons would be impressed by distance. mostly beginners.

all weird looking ones.. For irons, i like those older forged cavities much better... Easy and consistent. If a golfer of his level is not much consistent with the two non-max modelsl, I am sure 99% of golfers would struggle too.

The Mavrik Pro looks quite nice but the other two look hideous, methinks they need to sack that computer of theirs lol

What’s the smash factors?

Pacific iron

Taylormade P790 vs mavrik pro.

How close is that camera to the ball at start lol?

200 yard 7 iron is just beyond ridiculous flat out nonsense. Crazy

In terms of looks the Pro is reasonable nice (but not as nice as the Apex Pro) but the standard and Max are just plain ugly. Based on Michael's numbers the performance of the irons is a mixed bag. For a decent player, there are far better irons than these - and have been for several years - why a decent player would want the Mavrik Pro instead of the Apex Pro is a mystery. But for a beginner or someone with a slower swing speed these could be a very good answer although I would struggle to recommend getting a longer iron than a 6i or in the max maybe no more than a 7i (27 degrees! my i210 5i is only a degree stronger)

There is no point in presenting numbers without the club head speed!!!!!!!

So two of the 7 irons are really a 5 iron and one of them is a 6 iron. Got it. It wasn't that hard... Pretty soon the 7 iron will be a 3 iron and a wedge will be a 5 iron and you'll need 12 wedges. If you want consistent distances, get the most 'game improvement' and if you want to come up short one time and totally blow it over the green the next, get the Pro... Aye yi yi...

27 degree 7 iron is just a straight up 5 iron lol

Bought standard Mavrik. The balls fly off the face.

why are club makers doing this? lofts so strong ,next be hitting my putter 300 yards plus

These irons should be illegal…. Best game improvement irons in years….

Weird

Chonkay

But they look a bit bargain basement....

30 degree 7 iron lol. My ap2s are 34. I wish manufacturers would put loft on the club heads. So misleading.

An ugly set of clubs. Probably not for me

Whst a surprise the strong lofted version 27° went much further than the weeker lofted one 31.5° spun less and launched lower came in shallower with a lower peek hight .... One day club manufacturers will realize they are fooling nobody.....

Looks cheap

Not a good looking iron.

They are all Ugly..... Callaway sure goes from one end to the other. The 2019 Apex Pro's are gorgeous.

If you need these irons, my suggestion is that you take 2 weeks off of golf, then quit.

Geez Callaway, you're all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast. These Mavriks perform as bad as they look it seems.
