Since my ho-ing adventures seem to stir anxiety in some of my brethren, I'll just post opinions here on my latest dalliance. No claiming it's the Holy Grail,...

sdandrea1 Put together a short set of Maltby TE Forged. 7 - W with iDrive Tour Lite graphite. Had an OMG ball striking experience today that was long overdue. They might be traditionally lofted but feel and flight is Holy Grail shit.

= Honeymoon. 🤣😂 Seriously though, the MO-5 ~ TE are cult classics and deservedly so.

I know we'll the honeymoon effect as I've had MANY loves! 🤣 It's just owning the art of the possible that makes these so attractive. The forged feel and high soft-landing shots might be worth the days that I'm not hitting it so well.

Ah yes, the good old days of ball striking. You forgot balata balls.

That is a good description of the Maltbys.

Dibs on the Honma 5 Wood when you use up all the Poon and go off on the quest for the new Holy Grail...

sdandrea1 Here’s my first on course impression of the HONMA! 3 wood.
First two drives with it went 230 yards and ended up 5 feet apart. Full disclosure, they probably ran 40 yards after landing. Low flight. I hit a few more and they all worked good. Typical shot was a draw, which I don’t get naturally.

I hit a couple of strong layups with it. They went further than I expected. But not very high.

The club swings easy, which I really like. It doesn’t want you to use brute force.

Agreed, the 18* frwy is quite low ball goes far but not enough loft for this senior with middling club head speed same for the 22* hybrid. One does not want to get on them too hard. I have an Alpha VX 19* hybrid with the same slot technology which is also low flight I think with a descending type swing this kind of technology leads to lower ball flight.

Played today with a nice set of PING i3 O-size in original PING/Aldila 350 A flex graphite. Black dot. Plenty of OG PING offset, smaller soles than the Eye 2+ and slightly stronger lofts (47 degree PW, for ex). High straight EZ hitting sticks. I'm gonna change the grips and take them to HHI next week.

New Holy Grail thanks to @Rickochet and @BackNine29 - Maverick Max and Tensei. That is all.

sdandrea1 New Holy Grail thanks to @Rickochet. Maverick Max. That is all.

I knew I should have kept the sumbich. 🤣

sdandrea1 Didn't you make this call once for this club? Too many posts to search but believe you did once before.

Agree. One of the best drivers of the last several years.... at least for you and me. 🤔

sdandrea1 I have that combo 10.5 with tensei blue r flex. It met its match today I think. My first round with G410 plus had impressive results

sdandrea1

Bravopilot Didn't you make this call once for this club? Too many posts to search but believe you did once before.

Probably. If so, I'm calling it again.

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 Ok, the reason I'm concerned is I buy your Holy Grails and my Mav Max is still in plastic and I don't need two.😎

Eguller 'OMG, this diver is great, I gotta tell everyone'!! Says people just now discovering the Mavrik Max.

Yeah, OK sure. I'm getting used to reading 'Rex is so full of shit', so no problems with everyone NOW discovering something I told them about last summer.

Last summer, remind you.....and what do you think I played today(besides 455DB), and last round?

Last summer!!!..... You know how many years ago that was, and I still have this same driver???
It's. That. Good.
