After optimizing the winner would love to see a head to head w his current G410 to see the gains!

Loved the competition. Now let's do the fairway metals and then the hybrids. It's gunna be a long hibernation period and you guys are keeping us sane lol. Thanks boys.

298 carry ... 321 total Ian, "Reasonable one" Matty, "A good miss" I fantasize about having your "reasonable miss"

TXG, whatever you do, don’t ever trade Matty away!

Great to see Matt's swing changes have taken hold. 350 yards averaging 7.5 offline is off the charts good.

Wow, two great products. Mavrik won in spades and it's not even fully customised for Matt. Great great fun👍

I bought a Mavrik SZ 3 wood this year and I can say that's probably the hottest 3 wood I ever hit, so im not surprised that the driver is also very hot and very good. On top of that, Matt was really bringing it in the finals. Good job guys 👍

You do the most exhaustive and objective tests of all the youtube channels talking about golf. Good work! And thanks!

Outrageous performance from Matt and Mavereecky! Boys thanks for injecting a bit of fun into our lives at the moment- we all sure need it. Hats off. Still keen to test SIM for myself as the 56 deg lie appeals to my big left miss 🤪

Your new swing stole the show. That second round with both drivers was soo good. Thanks for showing and sharing!

We are on week 3 of lock down here in NorCal and was told we have another 4 weeks coming. Your content and this series really does provide a great distraction, and source of information. Truly appreciated guys. Keep these series coming.

I love how much fun you were having fun with this test, especially during times like these. Great series! 👏👏👏

You go back to the early stages of Matt's swing and it's changed so so much. Well done guys. Great video again.

Love that intro with the driver heads

“Slightly miss......345”. I’d love to have that problem. Great series, guys......totally enjoyed it.

All hail King Freaky Deaky!! I think that warrants a new emoji! Keep up the good work guys! Thanks for helping to keep us all entertained during these crazy times!!

It’s not even close. Hands down, you guys make the best content on RU-vid for gear nerds like myself!

Said it earlier in the bracket but that longer backswing just looks so good, even seeing some shaft lean at the top of the backswing 😍 really wanted Speedzone to pull it out of the bag but was always going to be a one sided fight 😂

Amazing how different clubs work well for different golfers. MGS Most Wanted had the MAVRIK close to the bottom of their 2020 list. Again, absolutely great content. Stay healthy out there!

Never seen matt hit soo many consistent 350y+ fairway shots...even if mavrik doesn't win it's still performed awesomely

Matty's come a long way since those first videos with the xtra long swing. (same for TXG video quality, delivery) What a great driver of the golf ball.

Great content as always. Ridiculous performance by Marty and Mavrik. Keep the videos coming during these trying times boys, it’s much appreciated.

I knew it was gonna be some long balls after his first swing. Cheer guys. Keep it up. Love watching it on a hole compared to a driving range. Good idea. Congrats.

Incredible results. Omg 361 yards. Wow. And you feel it’s not fully optimized. I looked forward to this as much as an NBA Finals game 7 lol. Keep up the FANTASTIC work.

This driver test just get better year over year or each episode. The only negative thing I can think of is watching Matt’s miss that goes 325 yds or 340yds down the middle does nothing for my ego... 🤣😂😂

What a series! Left me completely speechless apart from two words: Freaky Deaky.

The only disappointment I have is that it is over. This was INCREDIBLY fun to watch!! What a bracket! What an outcome! (Spoiler free commenting, for the people) This was just great. Thanks so much for another amazing competition! Here’s to 2021!! Cheers 🍻

The whole series of testing these drivers has been great to watch. Great job!!

I never buy new clubs but after testing the Mavrik when it first came out, I knew I had to have it. Played a few rounds with it before the "lockdown" and its performance is stunning. Long and straight!

Thanks to you two! Your videos confirmed my decision to trade-in my Epic Flash SZ for the Mavrik standard. I further optimized my Mavrik with the HZRDUS Black 62 shaft and Titleist AVX/ProV1X Left dash to reduce my spin. Your videos help me and others make logical decisions with our golf equipment!

There is the ridge out there - just to the right of center a bit after the bunker - and a few of those Mavrik shots were just long enough and had just the right draw as a lefty to lay into that ridge and get thrown an extra 20 yards in some cases - unreal

I found a good deal on a Mavrik 9º head and got it for myself for my birthday. Only a few rounds in, but I can confirm it is long and forgiving. Like...Ping forgiving. Seriously. I was struck by how little curvature Matt's shots seemed to have with the Mavrik, and I've noticed the same thing with it... albeit 100 yards shorter than Matt's drives. Pull hooks just don't pull that far or hook as much. When I come over the top on one it usually hangs on and finishes in play to the right (usually). And FAR less drop-off in distance when I lose one left or right, compared to Epic Flash. With a good center strike, they're pretty much the same - maybe a touch longer. I'm very impressed so far. Golf courses are still open here in Tennessee, and I'm going to play (safely) as long as I can! Thanks for the great content and I'm donating right now to the WHO.

Great series of videos, can't wait for outdoor feedback. 1.There is more of a wrist set at the top of swing now. (A little Rahm/ Sergio lag) 2. Mavrik, distance aside, always appeared to curve less. 3. Can hot melt be removed

From one lefty to another...DAMN!!!! We now need a Matty imitation contest and who can get close to that ball speed with a 3/4 length back swing. It’s all in the hips I guess. Truly amazing to watch you swing that fast and stay balanced. I didn’t love Mavrik in my fitting recently. Ping G410plus with Oban Devotion 75x was the ideal combo. Love it. Keep’em coming. All I can do is watch dust accumulate on the sticks.

Great Bracket this year guys. Let's see 2019 winner vs 2020 winner. Both optimised!!!

One of the best golf RU-vid contents of the year!! Love it boys. Mavrik...savage beast.

Fantastic stuff. Thank you guys. Have lived my golf life through you these past few weeks.

Maverick is such a beast. Looking forward to seeing it optimized. Also, it sounds so good.

MATT: *Drives it 320 yards* IAN: "A good miss" ME: ....his miss outdrives my best hit.

I hit the 250 yard marker at the range tonight after watching your content on drivers. Cheers!

I play a 8* SLDR turned down to 6*, similar SS to Matty boi just a bit more aggressive. Had my head set on the sim cause it's 8* and can turn it down to 6* but now u got me questioning my thinking. Can't get fit cause of the lock down here in Western Australia and have to purchase before July so will be watching the optimisation with great interest. Great stuff boyz, luv ya work!!!!!

Best golf channel on YT and bracket even better this year! Love that Mavrik won, feel Callaway has the best recipe on Drivers and woods at the latest years, especially on yardage. But combining that with less offline seems to be a killer.

Would be interesting to have a mid to high handicapper swing these two heads and show that comparison. Totally understanding that ball strikes wouldn’t be as precise. As always, thanks gentlemen!! 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️Swing away.

The Cobra did well considering it’s their higher launch, higher spin, more forgiving option. No shame in losing in the finals

Another great series guys! The new evaluation format seems to have influenced the match-up's somewhat ... looks like every match-up winner had the higher total yards AND lower average offline yards, but offline yards provided a way to tie-break a close match-up. In a couple of cases one club may have had a higher ballspeed, but the other had more optimal (for DirtyDog) launch and spin.

Would love to see some content of Ian fitting himself and how he goes about the process, through the bag down to putter. Would be super interesting to see and Matt challenging and questioning as to the thought process behind what he was doing

Great series lads. Look foward to the next one. Cant image that even you guys can improve on that much. 👍

TXG never disappoints!! Great work gents!!

Love the bracket tests and would love to see 2021 driver and iron brackets with RH Mattie boy so it's more relatable for us mortals.

Amazing... so great to watch. Bought one last week... just need to get out on the track to have a hit. Thanks lads.

Definitely going to test the Maverick once everything settles down. Not that I can come anywhere near Matt’s swings but very curious as to what I can do with it.

Hey guys, great video! Let’s do a rematch with sim and Ventus black. Matt was destroying that combo in the previous videos . I realize he was pre fit...but rematch!

Fabulous video. Great victory for the Mavrik. Will test it against my Rogue SZ when COVID-19 dies down......

Mavrik killed it!! Would love to see a video of the proper fitting for the Mavrik to see what shaft Matt ends up going with and the reason for it... keep the videos coming guys they're helping me get through the lockdown here in Glasgow, Scotland!!

I would be interested to see a competition between either all optimized drivers or all stock drivers... All in all, great job guys, love the content

I play a ping G410 and I really like the look of the SIM and thats what I wanted but now I'm gonna try the MAVRIK because I want to make sure all my options are open. thanks gents...that was fun!

Looking forward to seeing the Mavrik get dialed in. It definitely distinguished itself just a notch above the rest. Visually, watching on a course vs range was a nice improvement to the video's.

MAVREEEEEEEEK!!!!! yes! great driver. so happy to see it get the win. let’s see a fairway wood bracket next!

Just received my Mavrik the other day. It's a beast. Added noticable carry, much better trajectory, and lower spin. Even mis-hits go much more on target than others i've had. I've been playing the Bertha alpha double black diamond for two seasons, which i love, but the Mavrik blows it away. The only thing that has taken a bit of getting used to for me, is the lower profile face, as i swing very close to the ground. Teeing the ball lower fixes that, but it will take a bit more range time to get the feel. When you hit it square, it absolutely screams off the face, and goes a long way!

Mavrik just gives Matt some freaky good launch conditions! I am very interested to see the final fit for Mavrik and then put it up against Matt's old gamer to see how much of a difference there really is! Keep up the great work and stay safe!

Loved this bracket. Thanks for keeping us informed, educated, and entertained. Can’t wait to come into txg for my fitting. Was booked in April 2nd. Hmmmm. Will have to be patient. Need my apex pro shafted!!! Keep safe.

Knew it was going to be MAVRIK!! Great bracket guys !! Obviously this is HIS best driver /shaft setup. Without an actual fitting which I’ll be doing over the summer, Is The MAVRIK Head the best for me a 2.4 handicap with a 102 -104 mph driver club head speed with a smooth tempo, AOA about + 3-4 degrees

Thoroughly enjoyed this series, now bracket the rest of the bag.

OMG!! Matt bombs the Mavrik In the 350's mostly and Ian says they can get more out of it with a different shaft!!! .. Scary for the foursome who will be in front of him this summer!!! FORE!!!!!!! Love your videos and this Driver challenge was a relief from what we are experiencing with the virus... Thanks Guys!!

Six dislikes were Cobra employees and a tennis player

Thanks for the video shout-out love Ian! TXG is a light in the darkness. Put the new head through the custom shop Matty...my Epic Flash Sub-Zero has a sweet deep red/black paint job and is a head turner! Can't wait to see the optimization video ya Dirty Dog! 🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌

“What is wrong with this driver?!?! Is it broke?!”😂😂😂 (for best effect, please read this in your head in Ian’s voice...Okthxbai)

Not a surprise. This is making me consider this driver much more than before. Coming from Epic Flash SZ and Epic SZ. Waiting to use my M5. The Mavrik sounds the best of all the drivers this year.

Well what a surprise not the Cobra tried its best but it was good fun for all who subscribe to your channel waiting for the optimisation. 👍

Good for you guys ,,,, you guys seem like good honest people so all the best with your following ,,,, you deserve it!!!! Great job

Will definitely put Mavrik on my list considering I have similar launch and spin to Matty without the distance (250 carry at max) if we ever get out of flupocalypse. Very happy with my TS3 but always looking for something better. Thanks guys!

I guess my headphone volume was a bit high I flinched when Matt bombed the first SZ shot 😂

Awesome to get some great content during all this mess. Thank you very much for the effort you guys put into this. 👍

The competition was so much fun and definitely needed. Thanks guys.

Great series. Looking forward to Mavrik Freaky Deaky vs Super Freaky Deaky or Freaky Deaky on steroids

Just got my new Mavrik sub zero yesterday, now just gotta wait for the darn golf courses to open.

Could just be the lighting on the different color shafts, but it did look like the Cobra shaft really loaded up more up at the top of the swing, and the Ventus in the Mavrik stayed more "flat" without as much loading. I've found a shaft that has more loading/whip feel seems to get better timing and feel in my head, while the shaft that stays "flatter" during the swing really adds distance to my drive. I have similar swing speeds and launch conditions as Matt does

A worthy winner, chaps. I'm sure Matt was thinking, 'I wish Ian could cover all of the horrible rust colour with lead tape' though...

The opening shot was framed beautifully. Just need a light meter chaps. Helps gauging over exposure and makes it look pro like the rest of your shots.

I was pulling for the Cobra but, Congratulations to Callaway and Mavrik. Mavrik is one hell of a driver. Good stuff guys.

I went to buy mavrik today but ended up buying speedzone. Both on sale for $299. Was getting about 7 yards more and was more consistant for me. Also like the matte black crown. Stock shaft was also a little heavier so felt like I had more control

just bought a maverick. so excited to take this out on the course!

Loved the series... It is fun to see them going head to head. Nice touch this year with fitting them beforehand to get them optimized for Matt. I think next bracket sound be for Ian! Great job guys!

Awesome stuff guys! Would love to see this bracket done with a more human-like swing speed. My clubhead speed tops out at about 110mph and I’d love to see how these clubs perform in that range.

I'd love to see you guys find a way to get some toe weight in that Callaway, maybe hot melt or something. I still think that toe weighted PING was so good for Matt's miss and i'd hate to see him give up that protection for more distance and lower spin. Look forward to the optimizing!

Great job TXG team for another fun series of videos! Been following TX for some time, will need to join the team!

Not surprised by the results. I play the F9 driver and its really good for me. But recently demoed the new Sz & Sz Xtreme, not much difference. Then demoed Pxg Gen 2, Sim and Mavrik...Mavrik for me was basically 15 yds further on that particular day and straighter too. Everything just fit me well that day, gonna give it a go again soon.

What a series boys! Well done! Thanks so much for keeping us all entertained

361 yard drive, unoptimized. wut?

Late to the party 🥳 but wow the Mavrik earned that win. Matt, wonderful swinging throughout the competition man. You were annihilating that thing, and all the rest of the drivers too! Its a great confidence booster to know that the driver head suits you that well. Its like the wand choosing the wizard 😉 Cheers gents, great content 🔥

Great contest. Always enjoy the driver brackets. Thanks for the content. Hope the TXG family is safe and well. Loved it when you said good miss and Matt hit it 321, wish I could miss it like that.

Wow so impressive!! Great show Ian and Matt!!! Love watching, been watching since the beginning keep the great content coming!!!

Great set of vids! Loved them all, thank you 🙏

Mavrik is scary long, freaky deaky some might say!😉 Enjoy the new driver Matty, looking forward to the optimised version. Just sad the bracket is finished but really enjoyed it. Thanks guys🏌️👍🏼

You can say what you want...Mattey's the Freak of Nature, not those clubs. This was just damn enjoyable!!!

Would be interesting to see how Kyle Berkshire do in the same match. His golf vlog are just awesome not many can play golf with that kind of speed.

I laughed so hard when you guys said 'optimize it', I was like OMG this driver is already a lethal weapon...what's going to happen when its 'completely dialed-in' haha, nice vid guys

Sad it's over, but GLAD IT HAPPENED!!! Great video series gents, keep doing what you do fellas.

Ian up next!! Let’s see that new swing!!
