Our new, best selling Drivers! Awesome control, great feel and a superb sound! Tungsten Screw Weighting.
The CT250 Drivers, introduced in 2004, became our best selling drivers that year. The story behind the development of the CT is a great example of how we develop new products in the Maltby Design Studio. In 2003, the USGA developed a new standard for limiting the spring effect a clubhead can use to increase ball launch speed. This standard, Characteristic Time, a measure of the time the ball stays on the face at impact, was set at a maximum of 239 milliseconds (with a 18 millisecond tolerance). We challenged our team to develop a driver family that would maximize CT, while placing head mass and designing bulge and roll to optimize spin rate and launch angle.
Our team looked at some new metallurgy that permitted us to lighten up the nominal head weights so we could add very concentrated weight at optimal locations, something we had not previously been able to do except in fairway woods. We created two models, an all-Titanium four-piece forged model, and the same design with a composite crown that relocates more mass to the perimeter. Both models feature a 15-333 Beta-Titanium forged face designed to maximize CT to the Characteristic Time limit. Three permanently mounted tungsten screws concentrate mass at the rear and to the sides, ideal for improving head stability and optimizing the launch angle. And, the face height combined with horizontal bulge and vertical roll of 10" optimize spin rate and launch angle.
Both models feature an extremely pleasing crown profile and both models have a very solid, powerful sound and feel at impact. For the ultimate in custom fitting, the Titanium Crown model is available in five lofts, as well as a .5 degree closed face option.
BOTH MODELS FEATURE
- 15-333 forged Beta-Titanium high strength face for maximum legal spring effect
- Tungsten screw weighting for maximum stability and optimal launch angle
- 2.15" face height with 10" of bulge and roll for ideal spin rate and trajectory
- 350" hosel bore can easily be adapted to .335 (see adaptors, page 123) for greater shaft choices
- Free Headcover included
- Recommended ferrule - MDFOWS
Titanium Model:
- Four-piece 450cc forged Titanium body for optimal weight distribution
- Available in 6º, 8º, 9.5º, 10.5º and 11.5º lofts (10.5º in LH) with a .5º closed face in the 10.5º and 11.5º lofts
Composite/Titanium Model
- 450cc body with ultra lightweight, ultra strong composite crown for weight distribution that aids getting the ball airborne
- Available in 9.5º and 10.5º and a .5º closed face in the 10.5º loft
- Recommend CT250 Ultralight Shaft designed to maximize performance
