Finished length

They are all close to 3/4".  Of course there are tolerances, but they are small.  Checked with Jim as well and he said that is what he has measured, approximately 3/4". Britt Lindsey

Maltby KE4 TC Pro Driver

Thanks for the nice comments.  It is an awesome driver.  I can't say we were influenced by anything other than what our goal was with the performance and what we wanted it to look like.  The guy that...

STI2 Compared to Ping G Iron

The review on Let's Play Thru is good.  You should watch it.  The STi2 2nd gen irons ARE a Super Game Improvement iron (772 MPF points in the Maltby Playability Factor).  Not only do they have high...

Shafts that offer both .355" and .370", we usually just list the .370" as the option.,  You can absolutely request a .355 in the note section, or if you're more comfortable, call in the order and our...

High MOI driver – why lose distance

No reason why a high MOI driver would not be as long as a lower MOI driver, except on off center hits, where they should be a little longer.  That being said, there really are not any low MOI drivers...

drt specs for vokey replacement

The DRT do not have any grinds or lofts with 14 degrees of bounce.  Based on the grinds, the DRT S grind would probably be the closest. I do not like trying to match a wedge to another brand simply because...

Where to Buy a Workbench

Other than building your own, those are probably the places to look.  Cost to build your own depends on the space you have the features you want.  I built a simple workbench in my garage years ago and...

Driver MOI

Other companies measure multiple orientations so they can say "10K".  The only orientation that matters is the MOI in the playing position, or around it's CG with the head oriented that way.  The USGA...

Best driver head for a senior

I think our KE4 Max Driver could work.  It's adjustable, so it can be tweaked if needed to fit him.  If he needs more loft, we are working on a higher lofted version (12 deg. standard), but it won't...

Iron Fitting Questions…Aging Golfer Slower SS’s…Player’s Distance or Modern Player’s Lofts?

Aerotechs are quality shafts and I have no problem recommending them.  I play the 90 in my driving iron(s) and love them.  As far as other options, I think the MPF's are a great value for the price,...

info on “Crankshaft” steel shaft that was in Nicklaus clubs in their early years?

I asked Jim, our resident expert on that kind of thing, and he said he thinks it was a version of the True Temper Flex Flow shaft.  In the N1 Plus version his notes said it was a uniflex shaft, meaning...

Iron Fitting Questions…Aging Golfer Slower SS’s…Player’s Distance or Modern Player’s Lofts?

Several things to address.  First, speed generates distance.  As we loose it as we get older, the only way to maintain it in the clubs we play is to go lighter, longer or both.  Of course we can go...

Most forgiving Maltby Hybrid pak for launch?

We have our KE4 TC and KE4 TC Pro IST hybrids and both are great performers.  That being said, the Ping G400 are not that different in shape or specifications, so not sure you're going to see a big difference...

Looking for advice o the norton and auto flex golf shaft

TS3 build, glass beads?

May not need anything, but using the quick center is a good idea and what I would use.  Beads can work as well, but I prefer the quick center on an application like this. Britt Lindsey

Replacing 52 and 56 Vokey with DRT wedges – grind questions

Based on what you describe as far as the conditions, the 52/6 G and 56/12 S are good choices.   The 52/6 S would also be an option, but there really is not much difference in the G and the S in the 52...

Custom driver head

TS3 combo set, what long irons?

I think your plan is as good as any I could recommend.  The KE4 Max iron is more forgiving.  The TS3.5 is actually not as forgiving in the MPF numbers as the original TS3.  It does have a little wider...
