The forged goo in the TS1 are incredible, supreme distance and consistency and great forgiveness in my opinion. I was coming from a set of ping i200 and they are longer, more forgiving and more consistent distance wise across the face in my opinion. Of course, part of the difference I am seeing might be solely the shaft difference as I had steelfiber 125s hard stepped in the i200 and DG x200 soft stepped in my TS1's, but regardless, I am very pleased and impressed with the maltbys
Maltby KE4 Tour TC driver....
JeffTilley yep, got over the thick top line pretty quick.
shokosugi I do like them both, the ts2 a bit better, more forgiving. However the ts1 has a nice classic look at address. I agree the feel is good but then again vs. the i200 which are cast there really isn't a comparison.....although for a cast head the i200 is pretty good (Steelfibers are not known for their feel). I'm not one to base buying decision on feel as it's overrated, that being said a traditional forged (not hollow and goo filled) still feels better than the ts1/2, but it's pretty close!
Took the driver head out today with the new grafalloy GWX carried exclusively by Golfworks. Great combo and I’d put this combo up against darn near anything. I got the ping on some holes and the maltby in others. The maltby holds its ground very well.
this is the shaft:

colej Just now seeing this. I just got the Epic Flash very late last season and got 1 round on it. I did have to install the shaft in the adapter and I just set everything neutral. Didn't even realize what I had in my hands, until I looked at it after I posted here. As far as I know, this is the 1st adapter that let's a spined shaft stay in the same position, regardless of setting.(??) Nice deal!
Why is it only available in one loft, 9 degrees?

pellmell I was gonna tell ya NOT to pay attention to the chart.....it's FUBAR (beyond FUBAR).....read the question/answer section (on the GW site) the below the specs....it's the only driver with an adapter that gets more closed with less loft and more open with more loft.....here are the various explanations given (
)-
"As I said before the chart is not listing the face angle. It is listing the direction the adaptor is rotated to create the listed loft angle. If we were listing face angles for this driver the loft would always be 10*."
and-
"What is listed here is what we have always referred to as Effective Loft. The lofts are listed with the face in a square position. The Face Angles listed here are the amount and direction the face had to be rotated in the different settings to get the clubface to a square position. The measurements listed are the actual measurements with the club mounted in a Golf Club Gauge."
and
"I have passed along your suggestion for including the face angle changes in the chart. I will email you a chart where I have added the face angle changes. One thing to keep in mind when this driver is set into the Neutral setting which is 10* loft, 59* lie and 1* open face angle the 1* open face angle is built into the clubhead and not being created by the adaptor. The changes are referenced from that standard."
I still don't know what the actual lofts and f.a. are as they have not changed the chart yet. Bottom line is lower loft = the most open and highest loft = the most closed (relative to the most open/lowest loft setting). The last explanation (in this post) explains the loft and f.a. in the neutral setting as 10* and 1.0* open, what the rest of the chart means is a crap shoot when reading his explanations. I have posted a question asking him to email me the corrected chart/face angles! I will post when I get it.

Nevermind....they posted the ? and Jim emailed me the chart, I'll post when I get some time later.
