Callaway Super Hybrid vs Mavrik Hybrid

[AtlantaGolf3]

For those of you that know what is the difference? Where do each fall in their line of target audience? Same color scheme...

Super Hybrid is designed to replace fairway woods, not hybrids.

[Thinnedit]

Super hybrid is adjustable and only comes in one head shape in 3 lofts. No flash face.

Mavrik has 3 head shapes (standard, max and pro) is bonded and has a range of lofts in each head shape.

[Warrick]

Nice, the pro Orange is +$200 in a Mavrik hybrid, but free in a super hybrid.

[RP40]

Um, since hybrids are designed to replace long irons, and high lofted fairway woods are designed to replace long irons - hybrids ARE designed to replace fairway woods.

[hef63303]

There are designed to replace your 3 and 5 woods, not your 9 and 11 woods.

[RP40]

I would guess a 23-degree hybrid wasn't intended to replace a 3 or a 5-wood, and that most people aren't going to hit 17-degree hybrid as far as a 15-degree 3-wood.

[hef63303]

I have seen several hit the 17* farther than their 3 wood. The 23 will play like a 7 wood for most. Keep in mind that the COR of the titanium hybrid is quite a bit higher than the COR of most stainless steel fairway woods.

[RP40]

Realistically, a 7-wood is considered a high-lofted fairway wood.

[hef63303]

Yes, the 23* will be the least sold of the 3 lofts.

I’m assuming with the super hybrid they’re going a similar way to Adams with the super hybrid they put out.

$320 for a hybrid...yikes!

[TheMoneyShot]

It’s the world we live in now unfortunately...

[Sean2]

I hadn't been in a golf shop for a while and was surprised to see $500 drivers and $300 fairway woods. Callaway Pre-Owned is my friend, lol.

[BirdieBob]

Negative....Discountdansgolf.com

You're welcome!

[Sean2]

Lol...thanks. :-)

[third-times-a-charm]

CPO is pretty much the reason my bag is all Callaway. Not to mention shafts

[TheMoneyShot]

Yep, the only place to buy imho.

[Sean2]

Mine too. :-)

[OrangeCrush]

AMEN!!!! Everything but my putter is from there.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh here is a little secret, CPO has an EBAY page that the prices are even better. I got my Kai'Li 70S for $45 on the Ebay page when they were $100+ on their page.

I got the 20 degree Super Hybrid and hit it further than my Rogue 5 wood. I imagine the 17 would be comparable distance to a 3 or 4 wood.

[tiger168]

PMed you...

[QuigleyDU]

 

This is pretty accurate. I found that the 17 degree super cranked down a degree to 16 was only a few yards shorter than a 3 wood.

 

regarding the OP's question. I would classify the super as a niche product that is really really good for its intended purpose. That being raw distance and a bit of a fairway wood replacement. So it will work great off the tee and really good lies, It is also pretty anti left for a large hybrid. The mav is much more of your jack of all trades. It is going to be more playable overall by design. It is still really good at distance but not your super hybrid long.

@QuigleyDU Have you tested the Callaway Apex hybrid? If so, how does it compare to the Mavrik Pro? Its even more iron like in shape.......

[QuigleyDU]

I have. It launches lower, little less ballspeed. More of a better players iron replacement.

[SMUGamer]

Was dispersion similar?

[QuigleyDU]

similar. I would say that the apex is the least “hook’y” of them all.

[SMUGamer]

And that is a BIG PLUS! Thanks for the insight.

[QuigleyDU]

It sure is.

I have been hitting the 17 and 23 degree super hybrid about 4 times/round. I am definitely hitting it better, after getting alittle more playing time with it. It is long, launches higher with less spin, and has a good feel and sound. I still haven't hit it enough to be entirely comfortable with it yet, but I am more impressed with it today, than I was when I initially put it into play.
