NEWARK, OHIO — Re-introducing the ultimate in dual-weight irons, The GolfWorks has revealed the next generation in adjustable-weight engineering — the all-new KE4 irons, a dual adjustable-weight iron design with more versatility and playability than any other iron design on the market today.
More than two years in development, the new KE4 irons provide the ultimate in custom-fitting with four different weighting options made possible by a variety of metal screws of differing weight and metal composition. With weighted screws available in aluminum (2-gram), stainless steel (4- and 6-gram), and heavier tungsten (8-gram), custom clubmakers can easily configure irons for a wide variety of fitting needs.
"The versatility of this design makes the KE4 irons perfect for customizing club building options, and we’re so excited about these irons that we simply couldn’t wait until 2006 to release them," says Britt Lindsey, vice president of technical services for The GolfWorks. "The KE4 irons allow for nearly unlimited head weight, mass distribution, finished club length and shaft selection options. They can be lightened for longer-than-standard club lengths or the head weight can be increased to allow lightweight steel and graphite shafts to be used without sacrificing manageable club length."
Lindsey explains that the mass of the KE4 irons can be re-distributed towards the toe or heel as needed for improved feel and performance for players who consistently miss the center of the club face. The adjustable weighting feature also makes the KE4 irons a great choice for women’s clubs.
"In addition, the KE4 irons achieved an ultra-playable Maltby Playability Factor rating of more than 1000 points which is a rating so high that it is usually obtained only through an extreme profile," adds Lindsey. "But the KE4 offers extreme playability while maintaining a more traditional profile."
GolfWorks introduced the first dual adjustable weight iron with the Kinetic Energy irons in 1989, but recent advances in investment casting technology has allowed for the new KE4 design and its incredibly easy weight adjustment system that completely eliminates the need for lead tape or hosel weighting. Cosmetically, the new irons feature a mirror polish finish on the perimeter and sole, and a non-glare satin finish on the club face’s toe area. The top line is also non-glare with a bead-blast finish matching the club face.

Plus, GolfWorks is offering a ‘Try Before You Buy’ program for the KE4 irons. Golfers and clubmakers can purchase 5-, 6- or 7-iron and use the iron as a demo. "We believe the results will speak for themselves," says Lindsey.
MSRP is $13.95 per head unassembled; $49.95 assembled with multi-step steel shaft and Maltby grip. For more information on the new KE4 irons or other GolfWorks products, please call 800.848.8358 or visit www.golfworks.com.
