Brooks Koepka spotted with Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero driver in play in Saudi Arabia

Published

on

The Saudi International is Brooks Koepka’s second tournament of 2020, so it’s just the second time the four-time major champion has put a peg in the ground since the 2020 batch of driver releases hit the market.

Koepka, who began the competition with the 10.5-degree TaylorMade M5 driver (with Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 70 TX shaft) he bagged last year, was spotted with the new Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero (Triple Diamond) in play for the third round. Additionally, the Florida native appears to have switched to a Mitsubishi Tensei AV White 75 TX shaft.

As Koepka isn’t a Callaway staffer, we’re not likely to get any official information on the change.

Koepka fired a 5-under 65 Saturday with the club in the bag.

We’ll update this story if/when we know more.

    This change is probably because the SIM spins too low leading to off-line shots that just fall out of the air.

    tried Mavrik at Callaway demo day, got to hit my current driver (Hogan GS53 Hzrdus Smoke 5.5) on scope and 3 different Mavrik setups , really could not find any distance, but my swing speed is only 87 to 90..I would believe anyone over 100, 105 swing speed on up maybe will have more success because the guy after me was at 117 swing speed and said he was gaining 10 or more yards every hit you could sure tell the difference his hits and mine. I guess us over 70 guys have bought are last 5 yards out there…

    New Mavrik line is no joke, it’s incredible. Easily the best driver of 2020 in my opinion!

    Huge win for Callaway if he keeps it in the bag. Bigger than signing any player outside of Tiger

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball

Published

on

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.

“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.

“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.

“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”

Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.

It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
