sirchunksalot Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Upon my initial observations of the videos online, the adapter they are using looks to be the same as the Maltby KE4 TC adjustable driver. I have this head and it will be interesting to see if they are indeed the same type. The adapter is nice as it keeps the shaft in the same place and only rotates the ring which means you can use ribbed grips or spine aligned shafts. https://www.golfworks.com/maltby-ke4-tc-adjustable-driver/p/ma0309/ Adapter: https://www.golfworks.com/maltby-ke4-tc-shaft-adaptor/p/ma0309a/ That's really a nice feature and one I wish more major OEM'S would use. I love that about my Callaway, I've gotten really spoiled to my Align grip.

cciciora13 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looks like a nice club. Played 9 holes with it this morning. Clubs looks solid in your hands but it definitely a slightly smaller profile compared 460 cc heads. It also felt slightly heavier to me than other drivers, but that might be due to the shaft. It has a good whack sound when it is hit and didn’t sound “tingy” or hollow at all. I hit a couple good ones about 270 yards on 2-3 holes, one was into the wind. I was spraying it a little all over the course, as I think I was just getting used to it. I usually hit a little draw but had a slight fade when hitting this club. I'll have to play with the adjustments and see how they affect ball flight. Excited to continue testing it.
