I put together a KE4 Max 7 iron with a Recoil 660 R shaft. I really like the club. A couple of questions: Do you think the Recoil DART would perform better? Also I am thinking of trying the TS3 in a 9 iron and if I like it I would go with the KE4 Max 6-8 and the TS3 9-GW. If I really like the TS3 I may consider a 6 to GW set. Are the forged irons better performers than cast? Your thoughts on those options.
Thanks,

First, whether it’s forged or cast makes no difference in the playability. Those are simply, and nothing more than, manufacturing processes. What matters are the mass and dimensional characteristics of the design. The TS3 irons are are a very highly rated Super Game Improvement club. The KE4 MAX is an Ultra Game Improvement design, the most forgiving in the line. I think no matter which way you go, you will be happy with the results. Really depends on what you like to look at. The MAX is a little larger profile iron than the TS3.
As far as the shaft, the Recoil 660 R, if comparing to the Dart 75 R, might feel just very slightly softer, but they are very close to the same. Similar weights, with the torsional stiffness of the 660 being slightly higher than the Dart. the 660 is listed as a mid/high trajectory shaft where the Dart 75 is listed as a mid trajectory shaft.

Thanks for your input. I’ll be going with the KE4 Max with the Recoil 660 shafts.
