KE4 max in stock
sdandrea1 Funny you mention that. As it's gotten super hot here, they are watering more, and I have shifted back to the STi's with their bigger soles vs the TS2's with the lower sharper leading edges. I was sticking the TS2 in the ground 2 or 3 times a round and hurting my elbow. The STi barely takes a divot.
$30/head for 17-4 cast is a bit steep IMO. Weight adjustment I would do on build out so interchangeable screws meh. I don't see the interest but that's just me.
scotts33 I would agree, but it's pretty hard to find reasonably priced golf stuff these days. I don't think they needed to add the screw either, but it is kind of a cool look and you couldn't say that about older Maltby designs. I sort of miss the days of inexpensive (but good quality) Maltby heads, but the last few years their stuff has gotten a LOT better IMO.
KCee I don't think they needed to add the screw either,
Possibly a COG issue, but a screw makes it easy to change weights without lead tape or a disassembly.
Non issue IMO. Virtually hidden. I was honestly surprised how nice these felt on a good hit - flight too.
Now.....we await PappaD's review.
Subsonic What are some more affordable options?
For hobbyists, I don't think you can beat Hireko/Value.
For me Swing Science, I use both FC-One 431 SS options for my clients and it makes decent heads affordable as an actual fit end buyer. I pass the savings on to my clients. In the $15/head range. Both Jeff Sheets designs and good for what they are designed for.
- Edited
Played 18 holes in a family scramble today. Hit the KE4 Max 9, W, or G at least once on every hole.
Caveats:
- My swing is in a good place right now
- This is my first KE4 build of any model.
- This is my first build with these Integra shafts (Professional 50g)
This is AN EXCELLENT GI club head!! Feel is almost forged -like. Not clicky......solid.
Flight is surprisingly high for the strong lofts. My shots landed and almost stopped. At address they are very "Callaway" looking (think Rogue, XR,). I held the 9i right next to my buddy's Rogue and the Callaway has a touch more offset. Distance - wise they're a full club longer than my GigaGolf but that's loft I guess. What I liked MOST was the sole design. This sole is TURF FRIENDLY!!!! I'm ordering the 7i & 8i. PapaD tested, PapaD approved. They're worth $30/head to me.
Oh, and as stated above, the screws were all loose. You'll hear a rattle. I plan to remove them, put a touch of silicone sealant on them and screw them back in tight.
Told you. You nailed the review.
Yep, a tiny drop of blue loctite will keep the screws in place. They will be a GW fav.
