Callaway Mavrik SZ Adaptor Question

[bervin]

All,

30 minutes online searching and still can't find an answer, so I am hoping the GolfWRX gurus can help.

My Mavrik SZ driver came in today, but I need help with the adapter settings. The top cog labels are as follows:

NL1D+2The lower cog labels are as follows:

SD+1NI am hoping you all can help me understand the adapter settings so I can try to dial this in without blindly guessing. I know one cog is supposed to reflect lie angle and the other loft, but I am not sure which is which. Further, I don't know what these different labels indicate. Any help would be super appreciated.

 

BTW... the labels mentioned above are NOT consistent with what is described on the Callaway Website, which are listed below:

LOFT SETTINGS ARE DESIGNATED AS:" -1 " Subtracts 1 degree from Stated Loft" S " = Stated loft (Loft stamped on Clubhead)" +1 " Adds 1 degree to Stated Loft" +2 " Adds 2 degrees to Stated LoftLIE SETTINGS ARE DESIGNATED AS:" N " Neutral Setting" D " Draw Setting

Let's say you have a 9* SZ head. Say you want some more loft, so you want to play it at 10*. Set the one COG to +1 (you always want to line up your setting with the vertical white line on the adapter--Neutral lie/Standard loft in the below). Now, say you want just a neutral lie, then you set the other COG to N. So +1/N. 10* neutral lie. Now, say the launch looks good, but you are fading the ball more than you would like, so you want to introduce some more draw bias. Now, change it to +1/D, again lined up with the vertical white line. It all becomes very intuitive once you start using it more.

The settings on the web site are correct and consistent. I believe your problem is that you are making assumptions about which label should be on which cog. It's the combination of the two labels selected that mater, not which cog they happen to be on. In one combination the loft might be on the top and the lie on the bottom cog. For a different combination it might be reversed.

@Stuart_G , I'm not entirely sure I understand your comment. What I meant by mentioning inconsistency is the cog labels on the adapter I have in hand on the driver I just received in relation to the cog labels listed on Callaway's website. The labels do not match. For example, on Callaway's website, I should see an option for -1 on loft setting. My adapter doesn't have a -1 label anywhere on it.

The labels I mentioned in the OP show both what are on my adapter, and what are shown on Callaway's website. The two just don't match up. And based on what I've read, it seemed explicitly clear to me that one cog is for lie adjustments, and the other for loft. Is this incorrect?

@jeffrey r , thanks, I fully understand the intended outcome with adjusting lie and loft settings. My question is more about how to make sense of the specific labels (settings) on each cog of the adapter. I actually need the reverse of what you described above. I am looking to lower loft, open the face, and create a more fade biased setup.

Here are some pics of the adapter I have. These pics were taken starting with the current configuration and turning the club head 90* clockwise At a time for each pic.

So the club is set at 9.0deg, hence the S for Stated loft, and neutral setting which means the lie is as the club was meant to be.

If you move a cog to D it will be a closed face for a draw, and -1, +2 or +1 loft in any combo of those. It doesnt matter if its on the top or bottom.

Also your adapter does not say 'L1' it's a '-1' but the stamping must have gotten messed up.

If you want less loft with a fade, use the -1 setting in N and you will have to manually open the face at address. There is no 'fade' setting.

Also keep in mind lowering loft lowers spin.

[bervin]

Ahh, so the "L1" was just a misfire when they were stamping it. This helps a lot. I now see the point about one cog not necessarily being specific to lie or loft, but that both can affect either. Thanks guys, this is why WRX is so helpful.

 

Really appreciate it!
