KZG releases GF X Driver

Published

on

KZG’s new GF X Driver aims to take some of the guesswork out of custom fitting, providing fitters two different weight ports and seven different weights that create 128 different ways to optimize a golfer’s launch conditions.

KZG is not first to the moveable weight game, but the company aims to be the best with its network of qualified fitters. Because those fitters are the only retailers of KZG equipment, all weight adjustments will be performed by those professionals, which KZG officials say is the best way to get properly fit for new equipment.

“It has been proven time and again that when golfers make their own adjustments the results have been disastrous,” the company said in a press release. “Golfers tend to adjust their clubs every time they have a mis-hit. After several mis-hits and adjustments, it is impossible determine the correct positioning for optimal performance and launch. And worse, their swing is never in a groove, but rather changing daily with every mis-hit and adjustment. “

The GF X driver measures 460 cubic centimeters, and is one of nine different KZG drivers that are currently available through KZG’s network of qualified fitters. It has a traditional profile with an all gloss black head and matte black screw portals.

Those portals are positioned in the rear of the driver, where they can alter launch angle, trajectory bias, spin rate and swing weight.

The weights are available in 1.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12-gram options. Retail pricing will vary depending on build specifications, but the starting MSRP is $399.

    I’ve hit one. It’s a great looking driver and it’s as long as “today’s technology” drivers.

    Wow….just like a TM R7 425 TP. Copy a Classic, now that’s
    a compliment to Taylormade.
    I managed to set the weights up just fine on my R7 st 3 wood,
    Cheers!

    I’m amazed at how a company with such beautiful iron offerings can introduce such lackluster new drivers (and everything else for that matter) over and over again. However, maybe I shouldn’t judge this club on looks or technology…I played KZG blades for a year and they were great. I only replaced them because I won some Clevelands.

    Hopefully for that price, you can choose from a group of very good shafts.
    Seems like many companies still use cruddy shafts, despite all the other technology.
    And some of these companies, like Fourteen Golf, are boutique companies, and by that I mean that they sell for a very high price to a small number of people who think that they have to have the very best (even if it isn’t really any better than what others are offering nowadays).
    Many years ago, it used to be that certain companies or clubs were significantly better, but nowadays it seems like you can get an excellent driver (or any other club) from numerous companies.
    Same goes for shafts. These “boutique” shaft companies, such as Oban, may make very good shafts. But who among us really wants to spend $400+ for a shaft. I’ll admit that I’d recommend a good aftermarket shaft over the stock shaft in most clubs nowadays, but some of these smaller companies are simply pricing themselves out of the market.

    kzg just described a golfer with an inconsistent swing. that golfer is probably not going to be helped by this driver either.

    Does anyone else find the statement from KZG a little insulting? Hey KZG, 2004 called and wants it’s technology back. Not only are you releasing technology that’s been available for over 9 years, you’re also insulting your customers by telling them they don’t know how to turn a wrench and move a screw from one hole to the next. Granted we all don’t have access to a launch monitor but we do have access to a driving range. I’m pretty sure most golfers can set things, hit some shots, and change them on the range to find what the like best. No, not all swings are consistent but you can very easily get a feel for what does and doesn’t work and eliminate some settings immediately.

    Anyways, the golf technology world has moved on to better things and KZG should at least try and keep up or gracefully bow out.

      Way to go to Rob. I couldn’t agree with you more. $399 for 2004 technology. Hilarious!
