Good review of the Maltby KE4 TC Pro fairway woods by Adam at Elite Fit Golf:
I second the laser etching of the Maltby circle M logo in the crown. Not sure what costs would be associated with it but think it would be more in line with the significant movement towards premium looks that Maltby has made the last couple of years. I think people would pay the extra money it would likely cost.
I watched a couple of this person’s fairway wood videos and it looks like the KE4 TC Pros are very low launch. This video is showing 11.8* launch on the 3 wood. In other videos from this person I am seeing 16* in the Takomo Ignis, 15.8* in the Srixon ZX MKII, and 15.5* in a Cobra Dark Speed.
To whomever else has tested the KE4 TC Pro line, are you also seeing low launch out of these heads? I ask as I struggle with low launch, so a low launch head would be trouble for me.
Nice review for sure. Of course we know how good they are but also nice to have an independent reviewer come to the same conclusion. Didn’t agree with his view on the dot on the crown, as by tooling it into the crown and not using a decal, it actually is “high end” in our opinion, and more durable. Decals will come off over time.
I think it’s great he used the new Pro Series+ shafts as well. That combination is as good as anything out there, in my biased opinion. If anything maybe we need to raise the price. Just kidding, but I do feel our product is as premium in performance as any OEM.
Thanks for sharing.

Britt is laser etching the “M” in the steel finished front of the crown anything that could be possible? I see the valid points from both sides of the debate. Being pretty active in the forums, a lot of people agree that the Maltby “M” logo would be a great center mark.
We can lazer, or tool anything we want into the crown. The “M” might be worth looking at, but Pete and I are minimalist when it comes to things like that and it would need to be the right size I think for us to consider it. We may do some experimenting with it in the future and see what it looks like.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m interested in testing the new Pro Series shaft. I put together the 7 wood with the previous generation MPF shaft in s-flex and was surprised at how stiff it was. Ended up switching to the Core Blue s-flex and preferred it more so (a bit softer & more active feeling).
I think the issue with the dot on the crown is the paint fill is a little uneven which gives it a cheaper appearance, at least in my opinion. Still a nice club though at the end of the day.
