Do you think maybe the guy sold it to you cracked? Maybe if it's a known production flaw, GW might still honor a replacement? I've never had that happen with Maltby but Cobra and TM both replaced drivers that I bought used from a private party. Worth a shot if you haven't already tried

Man that's a bummer! Did you get things working out with them? They should replace the head without any issue.

I love the blue/gray (my 2 favorite colors) 2nd from the bottom with the copper/gold accent ring is also pretty sweet. There.. my $.02

As for the pured shafts, I've heard (don't take this as any type of validity) lol, that with good graphite, especially with shafts like the Steelfibers, the tolerances are so incredibly tight and precise, that Puring really doesn't do much. With steel it can be a different story, but even those are way tighter than they were when the Puring machine was created. So my answer.. it probably wouldn't matter which set they go I . As for the ferrules, BB&F is probably the move. They have way more options than anyone else and surely something to go with the patina on the irons. Lastly, there's no shame in the graphite game brother! I switched last month and love it!

Bag update.. yep I'm finally all-in on Maltby! Over the years of using various Maltby clubs (primarily irons), I just couldn't fully commit to a full set. There was always an OEM driver, or FW wood, or wedges that were just too good not to play. I think Maltby is really coming into their own as a world class club maker. I completed my set with the KE4 Pro 3 wood last night! Also, the MPF shafts are just so good all around! I even put one in my putter and it's !

If you have some of the other cutting or grinding tools, this is the puller that I've had for a few years now. It works great and I think I bought one on Amazon for like $15 Here's the video I found when I made mine

Good luck with the shaftectomy sir!

Of course this is all theory based off of experience so grain of salt.. .. I've found that it's not so much the amount of heat but the quickness of the heat reaching the breakdown temp inside the adapter (or hosel), and the evenness around the shaft on the inside of the adapter that makes the difference. Sure the heat gun is supposed to be the safer method but I've found that it takes about 5x longer and doesn't heat and break down as evenly. Ultimately, I believe the shaft gets hotter with the heat gun due to the amount of time required to apply the direct heat. I find that with the torch, you can get the epoxy to break down quicker and more uniformly before the excessive temp reaches the shaft. It may be a load of hogwash but I'm yet to have a tip snap after years of using a torch. It seems like with the heat gun I'm playing the guessing game every time trying to figure out where the epoxy is still hard. I'm sure having a legit shaft puller could make some difference too. One day I'll get one of those lol.

Hey MGS community! As some of you know, I've established a pretty solid relationship with Gabe at LetsPlayThru. Since we've connected, he's been a really great advocate for Maltby golf clubs. He's not sponsored by them in any way. In fact, Maltby doesn't participate in the flash, mass-marketing like many of these newer DTC brands. All of his reviews of Maltby clubs are mainly due to regular folks like myself, and a few others who have lent him our personal clubs. Short story long, he recently reviewed a set of their forged TE+ V4's. This set was actually donated by a viewer of his channel to be given away. That contest is still open! He's asked me to help get the word out to the forum. If you haven't seen his channel, he's one of the few out there who haven't submitted to a major club brand sponsorship or support, and reviews with a very unbiased stance on all of the brands. All you have to do is subscribe to his channel and enter the giveaway. They're a lightly used set, but still a really awesome opportunity to get to know Maltby. Here is the original video which includes the link for the contest. If you do sign up, can you do me a favor and just post a comment that Stu sent you? . I don't care about any recognition but It's just to let him know that I'm trying to help out. Thanks and good luck!

Latest LPT review on the KE4 TC Pro driver . Get em while they last!

I know I've posted these in other spots but these are my gangsters.. Jules and Vincent. They get $#!t done! I've played about every "players" type wedge out there. I've considered my wedge game to be pretty decent. Earlier this year I decided to pack away my ego and get something that I can hit with my eyes closed and these are them! Maltby Max Milled 1.05 sole. 54° + 58°. The effective bounce of these soles is insane, and crazy effective. Also, these spin more than ANY wedge I've ever played. I love these things!

You know which Maltby wedges? They'll be a whole other level from those Bombtechs.

It's funny I was about to buy the NV 100g black shafts but they were out of stock so I bought the Maltby MPF pros. I've used them in single clubs before and put them in the original KE4 MAX set that I built my dad a while back so I knew they were good. I just never played a full set that I custom built for myself. Now that they're in my specs, they're really amazing! I've been chatting with @Shrek74 through PM sharing my build specs. I cut these with some unique spacing and length. I was still expecting the SW's to come out light.. but to my surprise, they turned really nice. I'm going to play a few rounds and see if they even need any adjusting. I started with my most comfortable club (9i) and built it +1/2" over the recommend length for graphite. Then I spaced them all at 3/8" apart. Here are the results.. Cut/playing lengths SW results with nothing added or removed. On paper I could probably tweak a few with a little lead tape but I'll see if that's even necessary.

You could just have a single club built with the graphite shaft. If you go to PGATSS, be sure to find something in the 85-90g range with a similar bend profile. There are so many options in graphite that you just want to make sure you're at least comparing something similar. So far I think it was a great move for me.

The bend profile of these is relatively broad. The feel is more of a swoop than a punch.. if that makes any sense. Also, the flight is kind of mid. Slightly penetration, but higher than flat. It's a really nice trajectory.
