Callaway as a Brand and Their Mavrik Drivers
Callaway has been successful in creating, innovating and producing golf equipment for several years now. They introduced Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) in the golf club designing sector and created a hype amongst the golfers then. 2019 was quite a successful year for Callaway with their newly introduced machine-made designed epic flash series. Now it was time to push the boundaries for Artificial Intelligence and Callaway has done that rightly.
The Mavrik series has been created using updated features than the epic flash series. In continuation of this success, they have placed themselves in the 2020 hot list by GolfDigest as they did in 2019 with epic flash series.
Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero Reviewed
Like many manufacturers, Callaway has introduced three (03) different driver models in the Mavrik range to offer every golfer the opportunity to get the most from their game. The Mavrik Sub Zero is just like the Sub Zero models (for example Rogue Sub Zero and Epic Flash Sub Zero) of recent years in its characteristics. The driver has aimed for the better player and Callaway’s lower spinning driver but still produces high MOI. We have reviewed the driver from 4 different angles.
Features & Benefits
From features and benefits point of view, the Mavrik Sub Zero has almost all the features like Mavrik Max. So, we have discussed those features in summary here. For detailed information, you can check out our previous Mavrik Standard and Mavrik Max reviews.
| Jailbreak technology with T2C triaxial carbon crown |
Interchangeable Weights to Fine Tune Ball Flight |
New A.I. designed Flash Face SS20 |
|---|---|---|
| Jailbreak technology has previously been used with Callaway epic series and brought tremendous success for the golfers. Find more about jailbreak technology here. |
Like the Mavrik Max, Mavrik Sub Zero has 2 interchangeable weights of 14g and 2g. But the positioning is different which provides a more comfortable feel and noticeable performance differences, which we have discussed in the performance section. |
The new FS2S titanium is lighter in weight than traditional titanium but extremely strong and provides optimal speed and spin robustness than the previously used flash face in Epic Flash. All 3 drivers of the Mavrik series have the same Flash Face SS20. |

Technical Specifications
From a technical specifications point of view, Mavrik Sub Zero is very satisfying. The attachments for shafts and grip usability with this MAVRIK Sub Zero driver to make the driver a complete set are very much likable for most golfers.
| Clubhead | Shaft |
Grip | Available Lofts: 9°, 10.5°, and 12°HT. The clubhead is the smallest in the range at 450cc (compared to the Mavrik and Mavrik Max which are 460cc), but the most versatile in settings and adjustability. The lie angle is slightly flatter than the others and the flight is more neutral. |

Looks and Performance
Looks
The color combination of orange and black was mostly liked by golfers but many have also commented this as ‘childish’. But you need not to worry about that color combination, Callaway gives you an opportunity to customize the colors. Check the color customization availability here. Overall it looks good with a glossy finish but matte finish might just look better.
The 450cc head is smaller and slightly more curved than the other models, it sits more neutral at address. There is a lot of technology inside the head like jailbreak, flash face, and interchangeable weight but its exterior is so simple. It looks as good as it performs.
Performance
From the beginning, we have been saying Mavrik Sub Zero has features like this and that. So, the question might be obvious why you should buy a Mavrik Sub Zero when it’s similar to other drivers. The answer is the slightest of changes and tuning resulted in better performances. If the performance reflects your style of play then you can surely own this driver. The MAVRIK Sub Zero driver is much quieter than other Sub Zero models like the Epic Flash and Rogue, which was a primary complaint from those users. So, Callaway took that concern and came up with Mavrik Sub Zero which gives a much deeper sound on impact and in pitch shot.
As we have been saying from the beginning that Mavrik Sub Zero is a better driver for golfers who like lower spinning and flatter ball flight. And the features and technical specifications justifies this statement. There is no point of comparing this driver with higher ball spinning drivers. Therefore, we analyzed the performance data with another killer model of the Sub Zero segment; Epic Flash Sub Zero.
The data represented here is a standard deviation data of 10 strokes with each driver simultaneously with the help of simulators. As you can see from here both the drivers cover a good amount of distance in total and there is not much difference between them. But when we look into the backspin Mavrik Sub Zero has less rpm than Epic Flash SZ. The ball speed and carry are almost the same in both cases.
Pros
- Smaller clubhead that looks good
- Comfortable feel and better sound
- Flatter flight and low spin
Cons
- Matte look would have been better
