Looks nice! Let us all know what you think after it does get a chance to get out.
I see you have an HL4 iron-wood .. I'd tried, and sorta liked but them sorta dumped, two I'd tested. Was taking a look at the new E521 i-w...
("club ho"? what is a "club ho"? }
Today I finally got to swing the E521 hybrid for the first time. I only used it on 3 holes and I went out cold, no warmup. I am a naturally short hitter and my first two attempts came up short, but the 3rd was pin high. The good news is, it seems really easy to hit and I hit the ball straight with it. It is very light though, and shorter than I thought it would be.
Beautiful club. Even with the weird white shaft. The sock headcover is nice.
As for the HL4 ironwoods, I only had those because I could not hit hybrids. Now that I have hybrids I can hit, the 5 has been replaced.

I have yet to see the wedges or putters at our local Costco stores (Orange County, CA). However, they have had the 2.0 version of the 3 piece ball for a few weeks already.

Today I ordered a Tour Edge Hot Launch E521 5 hybrid.

Still waiting for my Cleveland CBX2 50° that I ordered a few weeks ago at a wedge clinic. I was hoping to have it in my bag before Christmas, but it’s probably not going to happen.

Glad to hear they are just on hiatus.

I went to a Cleveland wedge clinic on Saturday which included a fitting and a new wedge. I ordered a 50* CBX 2 to replace my set gap wedge at 49*. Hopefully I will be a lot more consistent on full swing shots with the Cleveland.

I signed up for a Cleveland golf fitting/workshop for next Saturday. So I’ll get to choose a wedge. I think I want a 52° to go with my 49° GW and 56° SW.

If I hadn’t just updated my whole bag I would be all over the new Tour Edge Hot Launch 521 line. I still may end up with one or two in my bag in 2021.

I received my first Mullybox since I renewed. Not too impressed this time around. A money clip (?), and a scorecard holder that I won't use. I don't usually carry cash and I use my app to keep score. A pretty decent Mullybox cap, their usual bag of tees that I also don't use and two sleeves of Vice Drive which I kind of like.
I have gotten some really cool items from them in the past which I use regularly, so I'll give it another month or two to see if the swag gets better.

Since my review back in June I have put the Srixon 7 wood back in the bag. But I have also acquired a 4 hybrid to go with my 3 and I use those far more than the 7 wood. The 7 comes in handy when I need to hit the ball higher, since generally I have a very low ball flight.

I just got the Tommy Armour
Tommy Armour Impact Series No. 3 Alignment Putter - Stainless Steel Shaft
I realize I needed to get a newer putter, but did not want to spend a lot money on it, so I got this one for 40 bucks used, mainly due to the recommendations from MGS.
I am awaiting delivery.
Nice putter. Let us know how you like it once you have had a chance to roll some putts with it.

When I got my new irons I went 7 iron to 49° G and kept my 52° and 56°. But I found that I didn’t need both the 49° and the 52°, so I benched the 52° and put my 7 wood back in the bag. So far it is working out great.

Lately I have only been using 10-12 clubs in a round. Oddly enough my 5 and 6 irons get used the least.

I replaced my 15° Gigagolf 3 wood which I could only hit off the tee with a Maltby KE4 Tour TC 16° 4 wood and it is really working well. I can hit it off the deck or off the tee and keep my ball in the fairway.

So while I don't currently have the KE4 Tour H in my bag, I did play it for a couple of seasons and it was as good as they come. I'm always going back and forth from Hybrids, to UDI's, to just butter knife punishing 3 irons. Currently my game's the strongest that it's been so I'm currently brandishing the set 3i from the TS-1. Well last season I let my dad "borrow" my KE4 Tour 3h while I was in a UDI phase. He loves the thing so much that I just don't have the heart to ask for it back.
All that aside though, if hybrids are your jam, the KE4 should check all the boxes. Now let me preface, that mine is from a couple of years ago so they've made some subtle changes but I don't think they should be drastically different. I'd say it's on the smaller side of hybrid profiles but not too small. The actual shape is probably my favorite of any hybrid that I've picked up. Profile and face height is just right in that sweet spot of what a hybrid should be. I got mine with the Maltby hybrid shaft and quite honestly, if I ordered another, I wouldn't do it any differently. The Maltby shaft is extremely smooth and just effortless to launch the ball into the air. The sounds is more of a higher pitch crack. Nothing tinny or metallic. The face seemed to be super juicy.. as in "on the juice", or "Hot". The ball just rockets off the face with lots of good feedback.
I know [mention=76027]tehuti[/mention] is gaming the newer hybrid. Hopefully he'll chime in if I left anything out.
All I can say is I have tried several other hybrids and couldn’t hit them at all. The KE4 Tour TC is now one of my workhorse clubs. Prior to picking up it and the KE4 Tour+ 4 wood allI had was a Tour Edge 4 ironwood after my driver. That was a huge gap.

Some time within the last month or two our local Golf Galaxy disappeared without a trace! My wife wanted to go to the Sprouts next door to them over the weekend and when we rolled into the parking lot the store was gone, no signage, or other evidence that it had ever been there. They didn't have a ton of stuff I was interested in, but I did like to go in there and occasionally kick tires.

I carry both a 7 wood and a 3 hybrid. Though they probably carry the same or similar distance I don't hit the ball very high with most of my clubs, but I do with the 7 wood. So I carry it for instances when I need a much higher ball flight.
