Ralph, I´m a little confused, is the the KE4V 5300 at 200g, or 203(which is the weight of the head according to golfworks)?
If it´s 5300 at 200g, woldn***** have to be around 217g for 5900 MOI. Doesn´t each gram in the back of a head like this increase the MOI of aprox. 35? I´ve read research from Tom Wishon´s company that came to that conclusion. The Cobra L4V also supports that theory, they claim it´s 5700 at just above 200g, and 5900 at 208grams.
I´d also love to know if this head has a relatievely shallow face to achieve higher MOI?
Thanks.

NBrown, either the KE4V shaft or the CT-250 shaft will work great in this head. Hopefully, it should be the first week in April.

Would you suggest the KE4-V Shaft as the best match for this driver. Also when could I expect to see them in my Golf Galaxy here in Grand Rapids? I was told they were hoping for them by the end of the month.

NBrown, good timing on your question. First of all I would use the launch monitor and compare them to your TaylorMade driver. This is the only (best) way to be sure. Both drivers are high MOI.
Yesterday I was playing around with the MOI machine. I put a heavier weight screw in the KE4V driver and took the MOI up to 5900. It is about 5300 with the normal 200 gram head weight. This sparked an interest in making up a test 44” KE4V driver (1” shorter than our standard) with a increased head weight to 208 to 210 grams (KE4V’s have different weight screws available for them) and giving it a try. Five reasons; higher MOI, more rearward C.G. for more vertical gear effect (less spin), the stiffer feeling shaft would be compensated for by the heavier D-2 to D-3 swingweight and more solid hits and better accuracy from the shorter length. Distance will be more than made up for by the more solid hits with the heavier head weight also helping, I think it is definitely worth a try with the KE4V driver head. Now to figure out which loft to try.

I was wondering if the CT 250 Max MOI or the KE-4V driver would be the most forgiving. I’m currently playing the TMade Burner 460. Do you think I’ll just have to hit both on a launch monitor and against my Burner to find out what will play best for me?

NBrown, Britt Lindsey and I measured all our drivers for MOI and I think they are listed in the newest GolfWorks catalog which is now being printed. He may put them up on the GolfWorks website sooner than that. Drop him an email at golfworks@golfworks.com and ask. I would do it for you but I am in deep, deep hiding working on a new fitting book. When I can’t stand to work on the book anymore during the day, I answer questions such as yours.

Ralph, I was wondering if you had any specific MOI data on the new driver heads coming out this spring. I am convinced of the quality and performance of my Maltby irons, wedges, and putter but I’ve yet to be converted to a line of Maltby woods. I’ve seen them advertised as high MOI but am very curious to see how their MOI’s stack up against the competetors. I’m currently hitting the Taylormade Burner series of woods. They “advertise” a 5800 MOI. I would appreciate any additional data you might be able to tell me.
