I purchased a stock build of the Maltby Max Moment RT 36″. Feels super high MOI and nicely firm relative to muted soft alumin DF3. Just different and some may prefer based on preference.  (I am in love with TS4s and have TS3 on way for top of bag to establish my Maltby cred). It is indeed face balanced on the hand test. My question is this: If I put a tee in the top and gently hold the shaft just below the grip and swing it the face immediately wants to swing aggressively open and not come back to square on downswing. What about this is zero torque?  At a 36″ build not only does it feel like it has extreme torque but it has a very heavy build feel to it, which is nothing like a stock DF3 for example. I swingweighted both. The interesting thing about a stock 35″ DF3 is that it does swingweight to E8 but it feels incredibly light. LAB will tell they dont focus on swingweight but just lie angle balance for the grip and shaft and head chosen. But this Maltby Moment Max feels incredibly heavy and swingweights to something like G6- its literally off the scale of my economy scale from Golfworks.  So just interested in an explanation of the design. And yes I know the 36″ build is just gunna be heavy.
