Stu brought me here 🙋🏽‍♂️

TS3 is the best iron I've ever had. Great sweet spot and excellent control. would be nice to see them reviewed.

Literally my favorite iron of all time Soft forging classic looks but so forgiving !

I checked the other day and their shaft options were poop. They have every shaft in stock, why can't I get DG TI x100?

​@@adambarnes4191 Golfworks carries the X100 TI's. There just isn't any combo discount pricing for that setup but you can put the set together through the custom shop or you can call in the order and have the set built with those shafts. You're looking at premium to have them built out but probably still at half the cost of a custom set of OEM's.

The awesome thing about Maltby "black" irons is that they use a DBM (Diamondized black metal) process. It's not just a coating like PVD that so many OEMs still use and charge $500 more for the set. DBM actually holds up very well because it's part of the steel itself. It's a little more costly but IMO it's the right way to do black irons. After a couple years it does wear but ends up more like a dark graphite rather than scratched up black spray paint. Would be awesome to see a review of these TE+ irons

Hey, which shaft did you get? I want to try them but I'm not sure about the Score LT shaft.

@@TomLuck I recycled old Taylor Made shafts from my original TM200 Steel set. I used them just to get the set built as they were proper flex and precut lengths. They came out great. I have a set of project X shafts that I will probably put in at some point this season or next.

You can order 1 test club and see if the Score shafts work for you. I watched a review of them by Gabe from Let's Play Thru and he rated the TS3's "GOD TIER" irons. The set he reviewed was a borrowed set with the stock Score Shafts. I'm thinking about ordering up a 7 iron and trying them out. The price is certainly fantastic.

I'm pretty sure that there is a general fitting adapter out there somewhere. All Maltbys are .370 hosels. Dave at Fit2u golf always has fitting adapters on his Maltby clubs when he reviews them.

Following up on @AZstu324's comment, some Maltby iron heads (including TS series) use universal hosel sizes ... so they accepts both .370 and .355 sizes

​@@vic0445 great call-out! Actually I think they all have the universal hosel if I'm not mistaken.

the scorecard has no entry for 'brand used". People would be surprised at some of the aftermarket heads and how decent they truly are. Maltby heads are custom components and clubs make no mistake. Roger won't put his name on junk, I believe.

​@@redhed9776you mean Ralph? Ralph Maltby is the founder of Maltby golf and the Golfworks. Roger Maltbie is the announcer.

Are your TS4’s getting beat up from rock hits? Mine did. I like the TS1M way better

@@Esoxfan I had my TS4's for about a year and they held up beautifully. I live in Arizona where we hit off of a lot of gravel and hard pan. No issues for me. They're also the same steel as the IM's and TS3's

Which did you prefer between the TS4 and TS1 IM and why? I'm trying to decide which to get and those were my top 2 as of now

@@ianrowland8357 I think that both look terrific. The loft progressions on the TS1 IM match better to me. I prefer a slightly stronger loft in the 7, 6, and 5 irons. I wanted something that would be similar to the P770 or PXG 0317T. I think the TS1 IM matches up well to those. I've hit the PXG and the P770 and the TS1 IM feels just as good. I've also hit the Ping 525 and didn't like that feel. That said, the TS4 has that classic solid body feel. I have a set of Mizuno Pro 223 irons that give me that. The TS4 lofts would leave too much of a gap between 6 iron and 25 degree hybrid in my bag. If I went with TS4 then I'd go gap to 5 iron then 25 degree and add a 56 degree sand wedge. With the TS1 IM I go 57, 53, 49 then PW to 6 iron TS1 then to hybrids and woods. For me it comes down to gapping. On center strikes the TS1 IM has that new school hollow body firm feel that's quite satisfying and the TS4 feels like how a forged club feels. Both irons were very consistent for me and give good feedback on strike location. The TS1 IM just gives a half club more distance because of the lofts. If the TS4 came in the loft progressions of the TS1 IM then I'd go that way but they don't.

Not kidding around, in the Maltby underworld I think that the revamp of their new badging is almost as big of a deal as the new iron designs. It's been a highly requested and anticipated event lol.

btw, you might have metioned who Ralph Maltby is (was?).

Doing the same thing. May end up with a blended set.

I play the PTM's and love them. They are a bit worn and they are not as visually refined as the new irons. Did you hit the TS1-IM, the TS4, and TS3 before choosing the TS3? I'm torn btwn the TS3's and TS4's. Any thoughts coming from the PTM's?

@@DominickArchitects I hit the whole range, TS1-IM doesnt spin so much, TS4 spun too much for me, ts3 got the ball higher in the air with best spin. But I have to reiterate, I have very low dynamic loft. My average 7i is 19.2 AoA is -4.5, I get 129 mph and 5800 rpm with ts3 with a MMT90x shaft

I put Nippon Modus3 120 X in all the test clubs as I just started playing with a set personally using that shaft. Length, lie, and loft were all standard for the testing.

I think at this point your only option is to replace the rest with Maltby clubs lol.

Maltby has been around since the 70's so they're THE og DTC. They just don't do the kind of flash marketing that Takomo, or these other overnight DTC's have done. More than likely, AJ either had to buy these heads or was sent them by a viewer or customer.

@@AZstu324 Maltby is a component company. I'm referencing a company similar to Takomo

​@@industrialpalletworx3548The Golfworks is a component company. Maltby is their golf club brand that Ralph Maltby started to be sold directly from the Golfworks to the Consumer. They work synonymously together but are 2 separate companies.

I might get a set with all TS3 heads.

​@@-What-are-your-thoughts I played the TS4's all of last year and absolutely loved them! This year I actually switched to the TS3's and think I might love them even more. A little thicker up top but nothing out of place to my 7 handicap eye. They have forgiveness like nothing else though! I haven't had a bad round with them yet.

I have a TS4 4-GW set with x100 shafts ... just ordered a TS3 7 iron and FST 125 to test out (more to scratch that golf club itch).

@@vic0445 Maltby sure doesn't make it easy for us junkies to stay clean.. 😜

​@@AZstu324 Oh man Stu! The golf gods are always listening! U shouldn't have made that last statement 😅

I would highly recommend checking out the Maltby TS3s

I second the suggestion for the TS3's.. or if you're looking to upgrade in playing profile, the TS1-IM's are very close to the P770's. FYI, they also sell fully built club sets too. They're listed under Club Paks on the Golfworks website.

Thank you. Feels. Like name brand irons are so expensive now a days and really everyone seems to have the same technology

Some people including me fit for the Maltby line. Just need to locate one near you.

Some people like them. I'm not sure what the percentage of people who stay in them is but probably 50/50.

@@EFGMC Thanks!

Hey @JohnWalkerCharlotte maybe this might help. The universal hosel has a secondary .355 bore that sits down at the bottom a couple millimeters. It's dead center of the main .370 bore. I've built a couple sets with a tapered tip shafts and as long as you seat the .355 tip of the shaft correctly in the secondary bore, it should flare out just enough to be snug at the top of the .370 opening. I've never had to use any collared ferrules, shims, or even shafting beads. I do use fairly thick epoxy so that's helpful for me. That said, some guys do recommend centering beads or side shims just to be safe. This is just my experience with the universal hosel.

I built mine into my fitting matrix so not a standard epoxy bond. That said, I used the Nippon Modus3 120 X taper shaft in the test.

I'd say the 2 of them would be similar to the Pro 245. Significantly larger footprint on both vs the 245.

Currently I prefer the Nippon Modus3 120 X. 120g. It's a $40 shaft.

I tried this for a video where I try and reduce a slice. Setting the reminder to a more closed face will help consistently get the face closed.

Lot of people are big on the TS3. Might need to review that one as well.

​@@EFGMCmaybe you can connect with Gabe @letsplaythru and build him a set of the TS3's? 😬

I think the new Maltby heads look similar to some of the Taylormade hollow body irons.

TE+ V4. I am a 12hcp and built a PW to test out. Considerably nicer to hit than my Mizuno JPX 921s.

I have the 1.05 wide sole version of the 54° and 58°. I'm a 7 handicap and a pretty decent wedge player. I've played a lot of "better player" wedges and these are the best I've gamed. So insanely easy to hit and control distance and the spin is off the charts! At address they don't look like GI wedges at all.

@AZstu324 yes unfortunately they were out of stock of the 1.05 but do you game any other maltby clubs?

@@STONERETTE916 oh yeah. I've nearly converted every club to Maltby. Of course my wedges are.. I play the TS3 irons (heavenly). I previously played the TS4's also awesome. I have their adjustable 7 wood that is just incredible! I also have both mallet and blade versions of their PTM putters. Also I go back and forth between their KE4 TC Pro driver and a Mizuno ST-Z 230 driver. The Maltby gets better distance but the Mizuno is slightly more forgiving. So yeah.. I have a few Maltby clubs 😜

Nippon Modus3 120 X

They look like Nippon, based on the red label that showed a little while he was previewing the irons.

Modus3 120 X

@@EFGMC Okay, Nippon shafts, thanks

@@EFGMC Thanks AJ!

You could also do Maltby 5-GW for $455 and pick up a Maltby 54° or 56° wedge for another $50. Their wedges are world class as well!

All frequency meters are very simple machines. If you are wanting one, buy the cheapest.
