![]() ![]() I don't have an ERG GW so can only speak for the PW but I really like the shape of it. It's almost like they weren't designed with the rest of the set. With the Maltbys I also really disliked the shape of the GW and PW. The ERG's feel superb when struck well but I think they come with a little more solid of a feel due to the extra mass in the head. The feel of the DBM's was probably a little softer but I don't mean that in a bad way. The slick move on Maltby's part was to shorten the hosel and make the top line pretty thin so that helps disguise the overall size of the head.Īs for the weight, most of the clubs that I'm seeing and have played fall about 1 club different for each head and that's still the same for the DBM's. ![]() The sole and overall profile is more compact than the DBM. The ERG v3's however had plenty of bounce and a notable cambered sold. Here in AZ, a blade that digs can literally wreck a club or shaft in a couple of seasons. They had very wide and flat soles for a "CB" and turf interaction wasn't the best. the 1 major downside to the DBM's was that they hardly had any bounce to speak of. I played the DBM's for nearly 2 seasons so am pretty familiar with them. How do these ERG heads compare to the Maltby TE/DBM? but technically as good as anything out there?īut cheaper I suppose than a full set of P790's, Srixon ZX5 or similar.įor me depends on whether you plan to upgrade or change short term, or plan to stick with them. for me the downside is the resale values. ![]() paid £600 but when I decided to go back to Muscle Blades (Cleveland CG1 Tours S300 Shafts) I only got £120 for them. Very nice irons, softer feel, good flight etc. I had the ERG 3, badged locally by St Andrews Golf Co. I'll keep you posted if you have any interest. We'll see how my body feels after a round with this heavier setup tomorrow. He did also state that they intentionally went with heavier heads as that is what more skilled and tour players prefer. So it's like taking another model and adding their personal touch. He has free access to the expired dye catalogues and in essence, owns the actual forging dyes and is able to make enhancements to designs to meet any specs that they are wanting to put in an iron. The company's owner is actually part owner of 2 foundrys that stamp out some of the big name irons like Titleist, Mizuno, and TaylorMade. I was able to contact the head marketing cheese directly and he provided some helpful info. in other words, the swing weight gets progressively heavier moving from 4i to PW. I ended up going with an MOI matched setup. Example: 9i weighs about what the PW should weigh and so on, so static weight per club is about 4-6g heavier than usual, and swing weights are in the D5-6 range. Each head weighs about 1 head lower so I was kind of thrown for a loop when trying to work out swing weighting. I will say that the heads are heavier than average. It's still somewhat forgiving and interacts well with the turf due to the decent amount of sole camber. I have had a good amount of time at the range and launch monitor and I'll say that this is a hell of a club! Feels and sounds premium when struck well. I'll be logging my first round with them tomorrow. I paired them with some TT DG 105 S300 shafts. So I actually pulled the trigger on these heads. I was thinking about a set of the Apex lookalikes but these are sweet as well. I asked the same question on another website and got the same total lack of answer, lol They almost remind me of Mizuno MP 52's but maybe a little more blade-like? or a "you get what you pay for" disclaimer? ![]() Has anybody heard of or even played ERG? Are these everything that they appear to be or is there a catch?. No modern tech, no frills, likely a forging dye re-purchase or copy of some sort but there's really nothing in it when all I'm looking for is exactly what these appear to be. And for $100 for 5-PW, this just seems too good to be true. Specs look great and all lofts appear very traditional (as desired). I came across this absolutely sexy looking set of 1025 forged blades made by a company called ERG and sold through Monark golf. I've been using Maltby stuff for a while and am quite familiar with the component underworld. I've got some leftover TT DG 105 shafts that need a home and I need a project. I've got the itch to build myself a set of blades on a budget. Has anybody heard, read, or seen anything about this company? Looks like at one time they were trying to push their products here on MGS through the forum. ![]()
