Glod continued, “Our goal is to make anyone who compares them to clubs that cost twice as much, question why they would ever think about spending the extra money. These clubs are that good. We will have a large amount of EXS 220 in play on the professional tours and we will penetrate bags of the better players across the globe due to the extreme performance benefits of these clubs. Truly, pound for pound, nothing comes close to the EXS 220 metalwoods.” Tour Edge has had great success especially on the Champions Tour over the past couple of years. They continue to build a quality product at an affordable price point for the average golfer. Callaway Introduces the NEW Mavrik Callaway Golf’s latest line of clubs is called Mavrik and clearly builds on the success of last year’s models, especially the Epic Flash drivers. With the help of an even larger super- computer, they have now applied sophisticated technology across the entire Mavrik family— drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. Callaway’s Epic Flash was the bestselling driver last year, the first using Artificial Intelligence in its development. Callaway’s engineers have the ability to simulate tens of thousands of variables. TheMavrik driver’s Flash Face SS20 architecture is the result of this process and compared to the Epic Flash has a thinner face over a larger area, which required a stronger titanium alloy to withstand the impact with the ball. Callaway chose FS2S titanium which is both stronger and lighter gaining a weight savings of 6 grams that they relocated to improve forgiveness and trajectory. Engineers also made use of their proven Jailbreak technology--two internal titanium rods tying the sole to the T2C Triaxial Carbon crown—that restricts flexing of the crown and directs additional energy to the face for more distance. Artificial intelligence alsocame intoplay to tune the acoustics of the Mavrik by reconfiguring the support ribs of the internal structure. The company says this has created “an immensely satisfying sound and feel,” a big part of golfer confidence for any driver. Three Mavrik driver models, $499 each, are available. Callaway is also introducing Mavrik fairway woods ($299) and hybrids ($249) offering many similar design features to compliment the driver.
