Callaway Mavrik Vs Cobra Speedzone Drivers Comparison And Review 2021
The Cobra Speedzone driver affords players the ability to shape their shots with an adjustable front-to-back weight and an adjustable hosel. The Callaway Mavrik also has an adjustable hosel to tweak lie angles but comes with no adjustable weight.
Does this hurt the Mavrik? Does the adjustable hosel and weight combo destabilize the Speedzone driver? Find out the answer to these questions and more in the following comparison overview.
Callaway Mavrik Driver Overview
The Callaway Mavrik driver is a great choice for high to mid handicappers who want to produce straighter shots with less spin.
We liked that the Flash Face ripples of the Callaway Mavrik really did help to reduce side spin making it a solid distance driver for players who already have decent swing speeds. Our shots were flying pretty straight with this driver as well.
The stability you get from the internal bracing bars also serve to straighten the lie of your shots. The feel of the face was nice too. It’s made of a special titanium that not only flexes to a high degree; it also creates a solid feel at contact.
The Mavrik does lack an adjustable weight but we liked the high launch angles we were getting from the low-back CG. This is a solid driver if you want to find the fairway easier.
Cobra Speedzone Driver Overview
The Cobra Speedzone adds forgiveness to the distance factor.
The Cobra Speedzone driver features a “wrap-around” face that has been milled. The milling process thins more of the face out for higher flex at more points. This is a good and bad thing. It’s good because you get more flex across the face.
It’s bad because it’s harder to stabilize shots and get straight flight. While Cobra touts the optimized T-Bar chassis of the Speedzone driver which is supposed to add stability, it doesn’t do as well of a job at it as the Jailbreak bars of the Callaway Mavrik.
The results are somewhat wild and unpredictable shots if you are not dead-center. The top weight can be adjusted from front to back depending how much spin you want which is nice when you need to work the ball a certain way.
We would recommend the Callaway Mavrik driver for beginners and high handicappers while the Cobra Speedzone would be better for advanced players who don’t have much trouble hitting the sweet spot.

Mavrik Driver – First Impressions
Once you get passed the bright colors and attractive design, you can immediately see how light and wieldy the Mavrik drivers really are.
The face on the club is huge and it gives you the confidence you need to let the driver rip, even on the first tee with a crowd gathered to watch.The face is also ultra thin, ultra light special steel which sends the ball into orbit on contact.
Two internal jailbreak bars on under side of the club hold everything together by connecting the sole with the crown and adding extra stability, feel, consistency and distance.The shape of the driver is also aerodynamic and like everything with the clubs, focused on more swing speed.
The Different Mavrik Driver Versions:
The Mavrik is for your average player or mid handicapper, medium levels of forgiveness, and mid spin. This one has a standard launch angle too.
The Mavrik max is similar with more forgiveness and a higher ball flight for higher handicappers
The Mavrik Pro has a 450cc head, less forgiveness and spin and higher emphasis on distance for low handicappers and fast swingers.
Speedzone Driver – First Impressions
The Cobra Speedzone doesn’t look like much at first, but it will quickly win you over with it’s superior feel and forgiveness.
On the other end of the spectrum is the Cobra Speedzone which feels light in the hands as soon as you pick it up. We were really impressed from the feel and feedback of this driver.
It provides good forgiveness with perimeter weighting inside the head at the left and right corners of the face and at the rear of the head.

Cobra also makes the Speedzone Xtreme driver which is more forgiving with an oversized face profile.

Aidan Lehane here, I’m a Mid-low handicap golfer who has made tremendous progress in breaking 90 in just over 1 year of playing golf seriously.
I get out to the course or range as often as possible and review all the equipment I’ve come across on this blog.
