NC Golfer Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 interesting, the max version is now a new standard. BNewton51 and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03trdblack Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 That's the Max LS which is replacing the sub zero from what I understand. There is also an Epic speed coming which is a little smaller. PMookie and sirchunksalot 2 Quote My bag is a revolving door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overly a fan of the driver itself, at least the older ones. I never got the performance out of them that I'd have hoped for. BUT for some people I reckon this will be a day one purchase as soon as it hits the shelves. Quote BNewt51 Golf Addict.... Father of 4.

However, keep in mind these are the pictures that people have captured. They very well may come out with the full line from day one and the Max may not be the new standard as far as they are concerned release wise. None the less, interesting that they done away with the Mavrick color scheme and back to the EPIC line. I'll be interested to see what testing results reveal. I'm fairly confident there wont be much in it outside of them taking another $500 from a lot of people. Quote BNewt51 Golf Addict.... Father of 4.

ejgaudette Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Make sense they are on a rotating cycle epic/epic flash then mavrik/rogue with a new line up every year, so Epic was due to come back this year. More traditional epic colors for them, which look solid to me. Will be interesting to see the full line up at launch.

Kansas King Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I don't think we will see much improvement with this line of drivers or new drivers from any company. We may see some changing playing characteristics but I doubt we see much improvement if any. Until the USGA changes the rules, gains will be minimal/non-existent. The best thing we can do is get properly fit and then check to see if there is a better fit every few years. BNewton51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic is one group, Mavrik/Rogue/etc are another group. It’s not just one big extensive line.

They've reached a point where there really isn't any huge "gains" with the new offerings. Just different playability characteristics. Quote BNewt51 Golf Addict.... Father of 4.
