Maxvert 2 Review - The Driver Built for Senior Golfers

This Driver is Leaving Senior Golfers Speechless

Updated 4/3/2026

Powerful Launch, Astounding Distance, and Better-Than-Ever Accuracy: This Senior-Friendly Driver Shows You What You’re Really Capable Of.

The tee box has really lost a lot of the old thrill for me in recent years. Maybe you can relate.

As the years add up, swing speed winds down. My flexibility seemingly vanished overnight. (So much for X factor.)

Launch. Distance. Solid, centered contact. These things that used to be satisfying evidence of my growing skills are more like rare accidents now.

And all those big-name drivers with their big promises and even bigger price tags haven’t done a thing to help.

I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this discouragement. So I don’t think I should be the only one who knows the astonishing discovery I just made.

Golfers Over 50 Are Hitting the Best Drives of Their Lives With This Revolutionary Driver

Here’s what the major clubmakers don’t tell us:

All their R&D goes into figuring out what tour professionals need in a driver. And the features that work best for a superhuman skill set are practically sabotage for the rest of us.

I’m talking about:

A shaft position that assumes you’ve got hours a day to practice controlling a center of gravity that’s literally out of your hands
Clubhead weight distribution that assumes you’ve got 100+ mph of swing speed powering your drives
A flat lie angle that assumes you’ve still got enough twist in your torso to get good length with a flat backswing

And these manufacturers definitely aren’t asking themselves questions like:

How can we squeeze the maximum amount of distance out of a senior golfer’s swing speed?
How do we make consistent launch feel like a given for everyone?
How do we tweak our design so golfers with less practice time and a limited range of motion still feel in control of their contact and trajectory?
What would it take to ensure amateur and senior golfers could achieve their maximum potential on the tee without changing their swing… without bending and breaking themselves to become someone they’re never gonna be?

But the team over at VLS Golf? They have been thinking about these things. Almost obsessively. (Seriously, nearly everything they do centers on senior golfers.)

So I tried their new Maxvert 2 driver.

I was floored.

You Have No Idea What You’re Capable of Until You Get a Maxvert 2 in Your Hands.

Let me give you a quick tour of this thing and what it could mean for your golf game.

Hit It Square and Centered Every Time

Unlike traditional drivers that have the shaft entering the clubhead on the farthest edge of the heel, the Maxvert 2 nudges the hosel closer to the clubhead’s center of gravity.

They call this “Enhanced-Stability Shaft Shift Technology.” I call it the most control I’ve ever had over impact. There’s no more fighting to keep the face square as that bulky clubhead gains momentum.

Launch It Easily and Recover From Mis-Hits Instantly

This feature is wild. It’s called Perimeter Payload Weighting, and it involves adding a little extra weight to the outside of the heel section.

The VLS Maxvert 1 had this feature, too, but they shifted that weight further back and down for the Maxvert 2. Moving it back creates a higher moment of inertia, which means it’s not going to twist as much when you hit it off-center.

It’s basically built-in forgiveness, even if you tend to stand up in your swing.

As for lowering the weight, that gets you better launch and lower spin with zero extra effort on your part.

Outdrive Younger Golfers

The Maxvert 2 has an ultra-thin face. They call it an Active Spring Face, which honestly sounds pretty dead-on to me.

In addition to being super thin, the face is a little longer, heightening that springboard effect and enlarging the sweet spot. It’s the perfect formula for achieving a younger golfer’s distance at your current swing speed.

Set Up for Towering Draws Without Even Thinking About It

So here’s something I never knew before:

Traditional drivers naturally sit a little open at address. It’s not obvious when you’re looking at them, but that’s what’s happening.

They do that because tour players like it. It’s easier to control a cut at their swing speed.

That’s not the case for you and me.

So before you watch another video on how to hit a draw, maybe try the only driver that naturally sets up square for the shot you actually need. (VLS Golf calls this “Auto-Square Alignment.”)

It might turn out that you were never the problem in this equation.

Count on Optimal Launch Conditions Every Time

The Perimeter Payload Weighting does a lot to ensure a nice, high launch off the tee. But it’s the Adaptive Flex Graphite Shaft that really brings it home.

You can choose between four flex options, and each one is designed with the Adaptive Flex feature, which basically means the flex automatically adapts to your swing speed.

Combined with Perimeter Payload Weighting, you’re looking at the easiest launch of your life.

Feel Decades Younger on the Tee Box

It’s not just that this driver gets serious distance out of slower swing speeds. Or that it makes finding fairways easier than it’s been in years.

It’s that it removes the senior golfer’s biggest barriers to improvement. If you miss that feeling of seeing your yards gradually increase as your scores decrease, you’re probably going to want to try a few rounds with the Maxvert 2.

Also doesn’t hurt that this driver looks just like traditional big-name drivers. No one would guess it was made specifically for us more “experienced” golfers (as the team at VLS Golf calls us.)

Why Has No One Come Up With This Before?

The philosophy behind golf club design has been the same for decades:

If it’s good enough for the pros, it should definitely be good enough for everybody else.

Enter PGA Instructor Todd Kolb.

This guy has been in the game for over 30 years, winning Golf Digest Best-in-State Instructor four times and working with all ages and experience levels, from first-timers to a major champion.

He figured out a while ago that the technique that works is the one that fits your strengths and ability. He also realized the industry was so pro-obsessed that it all-but ignored amateur senior golfers. So he started sharing groundbreaking golf instruction specific to us.

It’s how he became a bestselling author. It’s how he grew a YouTube channel with over a quarter million subscribers. And it’s how he discovered there’s a real need for senior-centered guidance and equipment.

So he approached multi-award-winning club designer Josh Boggs about creating a club specifically for folks like you and me. Boggs was all in with a succinct vision:

"Higher ball speed in the wrong direction doesn’t help you much – but with the Maxvert 2’s design, we’re aiming for the best of both worlds: distance and accuracy, especially on off-center hits.”

He nailed it.

How Long Does It Take to Reap the Benefits of the Maxvert 2?

With such a groundbreaking design, you’d expect it to take a few rounds to get used to this driver. That’s what I thought, anyway.

But swinging the Maxvert 2 felt natural from the very beginning. Definitely more natural than the drivers I was used to.

And I can’t speak for everyone, but I got results right away. No swing adjustments or practice needed.

This is What Happened When I Put the Maxvert 2 to the Test

I was too excited to wait, so I hit the driving range almost as soon as the Maxvert 2 arrived. (Perks of retirement.)

Don’t get me wrong—I was skeptical that this driver could really do what VLS Golf claimed it would.

So I wasn’t driven by hope as much as overpowering curiosity.

With all these never-before-seen features, what would it actually feel like to swing this club? I had to know.

And that was before I opened the package and saw this thing.

The advertising doesn’t lie. The Maxvert 2 is a good-lookin’ driver. Looks like something a professional golfer would use.

Finally—something designed for seniors that doesn’t assume we left all sense of style back in our thirties.

It was official: I didn’t have the patience to wait until my weekend round with my buddies.

So I made an impromptu trip to the driving range, and man, oh man…

First of all, the Maxvert 2 definitely felt different from my current driver.

But not awkward different. Good different.

Great different, in fact.

For the first time in I-don’t-know-how-long, producing a long, steady, powerful swing felt natural.

I didn’t feel like I was fighting the clubhead. Didn’t feel like the long shaft was controlling me more than I was controlling it.

I felt like I was in command.

I looked like it, too.

I hit a towering draw that carried ten extra yards beyond my average distance.

And that was my very first shot with this driver.

A fluke?

Possibly. Probably.

So I took a few more shots. All of them went at least as far as my average distance, even when I didn’t hit it flush. Most went a lot farther. We’re talking 10-15 yards. Even 20 yards for one shot.

As for accuracy, not every drive was perfect. But they were closer to perfect than they’d been in a long time. Even a few that I definitely hit off-center landed reasonably close to my target.

I ended up staying at the range longer than I’d planned. I couldn’t help it.

It was like I’d been transported back to my youth—to when I was still blasting rockets off the tee consistently and on purpose.

It wasn’t until I lifted my golf bag to head home that I realized my lower back wasn’t aching the way it should after hitting so many drives in a row.

Guess that’s the benefit of having a driver built for a vertical backswing that doesn’t require you to wring yourself out for a little extra length.

You’d better believe the Maxvert 2 came with me when I played with my buddies a couple days later.

I hit sixteen greens in regulation.

I outdrove my buddies on nearly every tee, usually by as much as twenty yards.

I was finding fairways like it was my job.

Somewhere around the fifth tee, my buddies started studying my swing, trying to figure out what was different.

By the tenth hole, they were demanding answers.

Thought about keeping the secret to myself, but I caved and told them about the Maxvert 2. Even let them take a few swings for themselves.

(One of these guys has been battling a nasty slice for years; he had the purchase page pulled up on his phone by the time we hit the 19th hole.)

I might lose my competitive edge once they’ve each got their own Maxvert, but I don’t care.

I’m still flying high on the discovery that age doesn’t have to mean a permanent backslide in my game.

Seriously. This feels like a second chance.

I feel strong again. Capable.

Each time I step up to the tee, I feel this rush of excitement. I can’t wait to find out what I can do.

All these years, my high-end driver was holding me back, and I had no idea.

Now I can’t believe how many rounds I wasted fighting with a club that wasn’t even made for me.

If you’ve gotten sick of the battle, too, you’re gonna want to try the Maxvert 2 for yourself.

You’ve got literally nothing to lose. VLS Golf has an insanely generous return policy. (That’s what got a skeptic like me to take a chance on it.)

As for what you have to gain, well, I’m the living proof of that.

Skyrocketing confidence. A lot more fun. The envy of your golf partner.

And the realization that you’re not done impressing yourself on the tee.

Here’s How You Can Get Your Own VLS Maxvert 2 Driver

The Maxvert 2 is available on the VLS Golf website.

It currently retails for about half of what you probably paid for your current driver.

And this one doesn’t even require customization. You already get to choose your own shaft flex (an Adaptive Flex shaft, no less). Plus, the entire thing was designed around your swing to begin with.

Then there’s the 60-day, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee.

By the way, that guarantee is still good even if you put a little wear and tear on the driver in the meantime.

I was relatively impressed by this deal when I first got my Maxvert 2. Now that I know what this club can do, I’m absolutely blown away by it.
