Tour Mav McNealy - WITB - 2022 QBE Shootout

Surprised that he hasn't switched over to the Rogue ST yet.  I do love the clean look of his Apex MB though.

Some staffers couldn’t get the ST heads to sit at address to their liking; to them they sat shut even when taken to the wedge grinding wheel. No such issues with heads like Epic Speed.

 

I expect he’ll have an easier time switching into the new driver.

Pretty much looks like a “T” grind on both his SW and LW. No way either of them play close to the stated bounce on them

Do the new Paradym drivers sit more neutral to open?  I love the way they look.

Mav has THE MOST specific club specs I've ever seen. Wunder has some spec build tickets on his website and it's insane the small requests that are on it with weight placement and lengths and etc down to the last millimeter.

Yeah I do recall a Mav driver build on Wunder's website where it was pictured they took a grinder to the heel-side of the rear weight protrusion so get it to sit open. Thought that was pretty wild.

 

Edit to add: I found it, heres some pics of both -

Yes, I recall a couple others as well.

 

Suffice to say that all 3 new driver models don't have this quirk. Even the X model (most draw biased) doesn't scream LEFT sitting behind the ball.

So these are custom apex mbs from 21? That muscle back looks different. 

[Mp14forlife]

NVM just read about them. I guess that's why I loved the look so much on the face of those blades. Longer heel to toe length. Wish more blade companies would go that route.

What does "shave heel side black rail" even mean lol can anyone help me understand?

[BCC1898]

Certainly seems like Callaway has spent a lot of time trying to appease a fairly middling Tour player.

Who's "Wunder"? What's the website with build pics? Just curious, thanks.

Johnny Wunder on the Callaway website blog.

Love the 10 and the Nike blades.  

[PreppySlapCut]

The 3-7 look great and then the set falls out of the ugly tree…there’s a reason he can’t use anything stock if this is his definition of correct.  (Obviously just for my aesthetic preferences)

[mkidding]

btw anyone knows if Nike still have like a forge to produce those products? or did he just stock like 10 sets from several years ago?

They are all just old stock that people have collected. 

 

[Koehlkm12]

Anyone know what the T model of that rogue signifies? Ive seen the fairways but not in a driver

Edited December 14, 2022 by Koehlkm12

[bcflyguy1]

The T Max LS has .75* more loft than stated, and the face is more onset (more face progression) so it looks more like the TD heads at address than the standard Max LS head.

No way he moves the needle enough for these one off's (and everything else) to be a net positive for Callaway. Unless.....

Yet....but he could down the road. Helluva pedigree. You just never know.

Reminiscent of requests Bob Estes and Steve Elkington would make back in the day.

And nobody wanted them on staff.

Haha it's the shaft tipping 1 3/8" that really does it for me. You tip that thing 1.5" and you'll be starting over buddy.
