Good piece, strong with backend thru the deck very nice. Falls in line with the new age HP ball that is more back end..
That's what I've seen as well. A friend of mine who has quite a bit of hand just got one. He usually doesn't match up very well with the stronger, surfaced solids but the Mako looks really nice for him. Doesn't burn out early and hit like a marshmallow like other balls in that mold from previous years.
EBI is doing a really good job getting more of that kind of motion out of their high-end balls. As it stands I would probably rank them like this in terms of earliest to latest out of the big asymmetrical pieces in the four lines:
Tyrant > Gauntlet > Mako > Maverick
Good, quality stuff. And that extends down to the third tier lines. I'm not overly impressed with the lighter oil stuff but the same can be said about pretty much everything across all the brands. Nothing is actually weak anymore.
Anyways, I think the Mako would be a fine choice. I'm a big fan of the color scheme too. Not that it matters, but the ball definitely stands out.
