The new iron head is really nice. Low offset and not huge in size. Really like the NV 95 iron shaft. Not stiff at all and even has a heavier feel to it. It actually swingweights heavier than my SK Tour Trac 105.
Maltby KE4 Tour TC driver....
Thanks Nat. I received the Demo today and will test it out over the next several days and
let you know my observations - pros & cons. Thanks again.
Eguller I like being able to play certain clubs shorter than prescribed, for control reasons. If I can play two hybrids with different lofts at the same length,mi find that to be an advantage.
I have the KE4 TC fairway wood playing real short, by putting rope into the head to increase its weight. So nice, these heads with weight screws and holes large enuff to do this.
Interested in the reviews. The new GW stuff looks really nice. Starting to get the itch to build things again. Gotta hide the credit card.

Well....I had a chance to experiment with the KE4 TC demo head this evening for a short session - 20 balls.
My first impressions are: pretty good sound/feel, ball pops off face nicely, maybe lowish spin, sets up
nicely at address, could use a more quality paint/finish. I plan to try in on course tomorrow against my
gamer - PING G400 SFT. It may have a chance to unseat the PING - it will be close. Thanks Nat and more later....
Had a beautiful, sunny day with super soggy course conditions to test the KE4 TC. It was difficult
to assess if the TC was longer than the PING, but it was easily the equal. I'm about 70% sure that it
would have more roll-out. Unless you like a loud, metallic driver sound, you should like this one.
Paawhack..may be the best description of the sound. Me likey.
Slicers may want to look elsewhere. In the N+ position, a neutral swing produced a slight fade. I'd say
it was easier to eliminate the left side of the course than the right. I did like the adapter sleeve and the
ability to keep the shaft alignment, but found the Callaway more versatile and to my liking. Not bad though.
Trajectory control was easy no matter the adapter setting. High speed swingers may find the trajectory too
high unless they gear it way down. Face impacts show center with just a little tendency toward the toe.
SW ? Slower swinging players should not be hesitant to try it with the right shaft. It will fit a wide number
of players. Those who like an extended length driver are in business as the head comes in lighter than
standard with the 8g weight. I substituted a 12g for it and still had to add just a bit of HD lead tape to get
it to D1 at 45" - Matrix Speed Rulz shaft.
Bottom line so far - Fun to hit, enjoyable sound/feel, long as anything and versatile. Will I get one ?
Not sure that it will beat my gamer, but I'll hit it again tomorrow just to be sure....lol
Oh, keep in mind that I am comparing a $175 or so driver to a $400 OEM that I really like.
i can safely say that it will make a lot of players happy.
colej your results mirror mine. Sound is good, trajectory tends to be high, more fade biased than most I’ve hit.
I don't want readers to get the wrong idea - trajectory was what i expected. Just the highest Swing Speed players
may have trouble with it. It may be a bit high, but controllable.
As far as fade bias, in the N+ adapter sleeve position, I'd say it is just the same as a TM M2 head - Easy to hit
a power fade, but harder to turn over into a draw. So, yes, a bit fade biased in N+ ( 1.0* open @ 10*).
I'll have a better feel tomorrow after another 18 with it.
