hornyjuan Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Joe Kwok and Ari from Scratch Golf are pretty much experts on the kp-99. In fact I own a kp-99 that used to belong to Ari and Joe. Very limited availabilty, hand-made, superb quality. Came in 2 versions; painted face or metal face. It's not the easiest 3-wood to hit but probably one of the sweetest ever made. Kind of like the legendary Titleist 970, when you hit it flush it'll GO GO GO and nothing feels sweeter. I've launched this badboy 320+ before so it's long.

bruinduke Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I had one of Ari's before and it was a quality head. Coupled with the hm-4 shaft it was a beauty. I believe it was the 13° head as well. Lauched pretty low, and I couldn't turn it over unless I wanted to duckhook it. A player's 3 wood for sure. I don't think it was introduced retail. I've seen a few comments about it being custom order by Edwin Watts at some point, but I think that was just for one. Very nice, well made, and deep faced 3 wood.
