Download: Maltby Playability Factor RatingsFor players, clubmakers and prospective consumers of golf clubs, everywhere, I strongly recommend the Maltby Playability Factor (MPF)as a guide to comparing golf equipment. There are lies, damn lies and marketing messages. Every year, manufacturers are compelled to come up with something new. All of it is heavily laden wit science, physics and baffle-gab about how equipment will make you a better golfer.The MPF has been around, largely unsung for several years. Ralph Maltby is the owner/founder of Golfworks, a well-known designer of equipment in his own right and a consultant to many noted manufacturers of high-end golf clubs. Maltby knows equipment and has origniated an index that is backed by his sound engineering expertse. The indices his MPF references contain form a great starting point for golfers who wish to compare clubs beyond cost, feel and marketing imagery.
