Received the new 5 wood a few days ago with the Maltby pro shaft and have to say that I really love the club after two nine hole rounds. I do, however, have a predicament. The 5 wood has a nice lofted 235 yard flight. The 7 wood with the kuro kage shaft has a piercing flight that comes off the face like a piss middle and ends up almost the exact same distance. I was scratching my head until I measured them and found out that the 7 wood shaft is actually a half inch LONGER than the 5 wood. When ordering these clubs (fully assembled) from Maltby, I requested standard length. The only modification I made was to increase the 7 wood swing weight to D0. Would this be a reason for them to cut the shaft so long? I believe there is a weight in the shaft of the 7 wood because it has come loose and slides around in the club (kind of annoying but not a huge deal). The 7 wood always felt long but I just figured it to be how newer woods are as my old woods were from the early 2000’s. Is this longer 7 wood shaft totally on me or should I try to get in touch with golfworks to see if they can help me out? Ideally I’d order a new max driver with the Maltby pro DR shaft and have them send me a new Maltby pro fairway wood shaft cut to the correct 7W length with an adapter installed so I can swap. This would give me matching driver, 5w, and 7W. Alternatively I can swap the shafts between the 7 and 5 as is and just game two different shafts playing 1/2” longer than standard (I’m 6’ so 1/2” shouldn’t make a huge difference). Ultimately I can’t understand why they would build the 7 wood so long when I requested standard length. Pictures attached but note I measured from the top of the hosel adapter. From there to the bottom of the club is 2.75” so I added that to the measurement for final lengths. Thanks all for your help. Maltby makes some great clubs and I am very happy with the performance of these woods! IMG_7440.heic IMG_7439.heic IMG_7438.heic IMG_7437.heic IMG_7434.heic IMG_7435.heic
