Is the Mathews LIFT worth the Upgrade from the PHASE 4?

SOOOO many people talking about the new Mathews Lift and for good reason, it is a killer shooting bow that I would always highly recommend you get out and shoot one!

However is it that much better from the previous year PHASE 4?

I am going to leave that for you to decide after you watch the video and see what thoughts I had about these two bows head to head against each other.

Thank you all so much for your continued support!

I've seen people complain that the valley on the lift is too tight, those people have developed a bad habit of relaxing into the backwall instead of pulling into it.

New riser, new cam, new cam mount, new limbs, better draw, better valley, legit 5fps minimum faster when shot at the same measured draw lengths and poundage than a P4/V3 series. The Lift is 100% a better bow than the last 8 years of Mathews offerings. It’s faster at the same draw lengths than every Hoyt I’ve tested this year, and on par with the Ethos from Elite (1fps to either bow over a chrono at the same specs), and only is behind the Core SR in performance. The PSE Mach 34 is still the best carbon bow on the market, especially with the S2 cams. A lot of good bows this year, but the Lift sits atop the ‘24 bows.

I went to my pro shop to try the 29.5 lift. I have a Mathews V3X 29. For me not enough to change. The bow was awesome but I would have to buy new fingers for my press and the leg stands are not compatible. So I would have to buy new ones. Considering I have a great bow already I can wait to see what Mathews comes up with next year. That will give me the time to budget the new mattress press fingers and decide if I want to sell my trusty V3X 29.

You can tell which draw cycle is smoother just based on what your mic is doing when you draw listen to it every time you try to rip the lift back vs when you rip the phase4

[jamescoleman]

Genuine question - did you check actual draw weight on the bows prior to speed test?

[thedeercamp]

The other thing to consider is that with the lift, you’re getting a good set of strings, with the phase 4 you’re going to want to immediately change the strings out.

I went to upgrade from my Halon 32 fully expecting to buy a Lift. I shot a Phase 4 and Lift side by side and left with the Phase 4 and it was $400 cheaper.

[joncox]

I completely agree and I can appreciate you pointing out that they’re pretty much comparable except your saving a half a pound I watched other videos that were really trying to talk the lift up like it was just head and shoulders a better bow think I’ll stick with my phase 4

[pennyontrack]

Your mic position is better in this video. Don’t hear the tennis grunt as much. Thanks for the review. Would be good to see actual weights of the bows for comparison.

Gotta custom lift headed my way, very excited

[ryanlopez]

the deals you can get on used phase 4s right now make it totally worth buying

[jonse]

I'd agree with the assessment. I think even the V3X is a 50/50 for an upgrade. But if you have a V3 or older, it's worth upgrading to get the bridge lock updates among all the other benefits mentioned.

Can you do a Mach 30 vs ?? I have yet seen a video with a Mach 30 vs anything.

[enriquewilliamsteeny]

Just picked up the P4 for 850 at my local shop. I feel like I got a good deal.. just stuck on optics decision

[Thedudeabides]

The noise on the draw is the whisker biscuit folks.

[whatsyourexcuse]

The lift sounds horrible in the draw cycle. Is that just the mic picking it up or does it always sound like gears grinding?

[H_A_F_GAMING]

If i buy either bow and want a draw length of 30 fo i have tk pay??? And if yes shouldnt that be included ??

[ryanyoung]

Why are you not speed testing with the integrated drop-away rest? Whisker biscuit is always going to slow the arrow down.

[RobGoodwinFitness]

Great vid. i have a Phase 4... love it... I'll keep it!!!

Just wondering, why are you not using the Matthews Axcel five pin site? Or the Matthews QAD ultra rest? And what do you think about stabilizing bars? Maybe a 12 inch upfront and a 10 inch with a Matthews V bar bridge lock?
