tdc1 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I got an e-mail touting the Maxvert driver (Todd Kolb/Vertical Line Swing) as the first (or only) driver designed specifically for amateur golfers. (We can debate that claim separately.) I was struck by the similarity between its inset shaft and the old Cleveland VAS 792 woods and irons. I know the 792s are often the butt of jokes on this site (but also fiercely defended). What I’m curious about is whether or not there is any data (positive or negative) on the effect of inset shaft and the ability to close the clubface at impact.

03trdblack Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Have to admit, it looks pretty good at address and I'm sure it does exactly what it says it will do. Smaller, more draw biased head design with more loft should help the golfers that struggle with the slice to get the face closed faster. tdc1 1 Quote My bag is a revolving door!

JayC Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I purchased the Maxvert Driver a couple of weeks ago and have gone to the range a couple of times and today was first day out on my course. I had four purposeful baby draws that were very sweet. "Best driving round I've had in two years!" tdc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeakyLeftie Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Could not most of the stated advantages of the Maxvert (heel weighting, upright shaft, closed or offset face, shorter length) be provided by just cutting down or choking up on a name brand draw biased driver? Don’t get me wrong, I’m really interested in the Maxvert but I’m already playing a slice fighter (Ping g430 SFT) club and wondering what the difference may be. tdc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edbmac Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I haven’t tried this driver yet but its design has my interest. As a senior golfer losing distance every year I need some help. I’ve been thinking of a shorter shaft length to help generate more torque. I’ll be interested in following this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehuti Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 There was (is) a Speed System driver that’s been around for a few years. I haven’t heard much about it lately, but it was supposed to be for amateur players specifically.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote PXG 0211 12° driver w/Project X Cypher R flex shaft KE4 TC 16° 4 wood w/Kuro Kage Black 60g shaft KE4 TC HyWay 21° utilitywood w/Maltby MPF shaft KE4 TC 22° 4 hybrid w/UST Proforce V2 Black shaft KE4 TC 25° 5 hybrid w/Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue shaft Lazrus 27° 6 hybrid w/Lazrus graphite shaft PXG 0211DC irons 7-PW w/Project X Cypher graphite shafts CBX2 50° wedge M-Series+ 56° wedge w/UST Recoil 660 graphite shaft Infinite Bean putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Cook Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I purchased the Maxvert Driver Stiff and the driver is great.It is very easy to hit in the fairways. I now hit at least 10 -12 fairways every round awesome driver. tdc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clhughart Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I recently bought the drive, went to the driving range and then used it on the golf course. Isn't working for me. I may try again but thinking of sending it back. I'm 67 years old. tdc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceehwk Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I bought a Maxvert1 driver, senior flex, and just went to hit it at the range today. The visual address of the ball is very cool to start. I was hitting my other driver 180 to 195 at the most. I am 57 just getting back into it and have lost my ball distance for sure. I was hitting the Maxvert1 with a pretty consistent draw 228 to 235 yds. I'm sure as I get more comfortable with it I will see 240 to 250 consistently. Really impressed with this driver, so impressed I just purchased the hybrids. I would recommend these to anyone with a slower swing speed and slice issues.
