Callaway Mavrik Package Set Review

Callaway’s Mavrik line was a real success story for the Carlsbad-based equipment giant back in the day, so I was intrigued to see how that legacy had translated as it has now morphed into a complete set. The Callaway Mavrik Package Set aims to provide a full bag solution with that Mavrik performance, and I was keen to put it to the test to see if it could rival some of the best package sets in the game.

In terms of the overall look, I must say, the sophisticated grey and black colorway of the bag and headcovers immediately caught my eye. It is classy and understated, which I really enjoyed – very often in the package set market, I find manufacturers can be a little patronising with the color and design choices, but not so here. A very good start.

The set is comprehensive, offering everything any beginner – or even a more accomplished player, for that matter – could need, including: Driver, 3-wood, 4 & 5 hybrid, 6 – SW, putter, and a stand bag. The stand bag is a really nice standalone (forgive the pun) product with double straps and additional padding for your back, making for a very comfortable carry.

The Mavrik driver is designed unapologetically for forgiveness, and it absolutely delivers. The incredibly large sweet spot gobbles up those mishits as proficiently as some of the best drivers in the game, retaining a lot of ball speed even on some very poor strikes. The driver feels (and sounds) powerful off the face and offers real ease of launch, which will suit those with a moderate swing speed. I would say, however, that the quality of the clubhead feels as though it would certainly stand up to more vigorous swing speeds. I am around 118 mph with a driver, for example, and it took all I had to offer.
