Maltby Xtreme Moment Design 01 Putter Component Head

Club designer Ralph Maltby of the GolfWorks is the mad scientist of club design. Most of his—often highly imaginative—clubs are designed to greatly improve the play of the average golfer. They can be odd looking, though.

I’ve built quite a few clubs using Maltby GolfWorks components, and have even visited the factory showroom in Ohio. Now that the company as been bought by The GolfWorks, these designs are available to a much wider audience.

The Xtreme Moment Putter is a good example of Maltby’s work. The rather odd design has resulted in what Maltby says is the highest moment of inertia ever built into a putter. That should result in more stable contact, and more accurate putts.
