Callaway Mavrik Vs Big Bertha B21 Fairway Woods Review & Specs 2023

With every major golf company pushing the boundaries on what we can expect from golf clubs year on year, there is one clear winner and that’s the individual golfer and the sport.

Who doesn’t want to see the top golfers in the world smashing it further and closer to the hole than they did before and with any luck, that technology can help us to improve as well.

While many focus obsessively on the new drivers and irons, choosing the right fairway woods and hybrids can have an equally important impact on your overall score.

With Fairway Woods, we want to be able to get the ball in the air easily, hit it straight consistently and get as much comfortable distance as possible with each strike.

The Callaway Mavrik is crafted with Artificial Intelligence and offers forgiveness and distance with the Max & Sub Zero Offering specialized versions for any golfer while the Big Bertha B21 takes the legendary name and offers a super forgiving and high launching fairway wood for game improvement.
