100% agree with Maltby being pure class

Wilson Staff has been KILLING it for a while now. Happy to see them get their due!

Hey Gabe, i live very close to Golfworks/maltby and ive been in there a few times over the past couple months. In talking with some of the employees over there, we started discussing their lack of advertising and such, and i mentioned your channel and they said they have gotten a huge influx of business and many have mentioned your channel as a source of it. They said they didnt even know your channel existed, and didnt know who you were, but they were eternally greatful for the wonderful reviews of the ts1 and ts3s. Anyway, i just wanted you to know that they are genuinely thankful for what you have done and its caused quite an uptick in their sales. The crew over there are really great guys too, so you are doing a good thing for a deserving company.

I love reviews like this Gabe. It's very helpful for us weekend golfers. Maltby has definitely been added to my future list of irons to consider.

You forgot one that is pure class!!! Let's Play Thru!!! I think this past year you have been knocking it out of the park with reviews from the big OEM's to the small guys like Maltby. You are not going to find this on the other larger YT channels so that's why it's PURE CLASS. Is it possible to try a couple other DTC clubs that I've found, and there's some buzz online about them. Byrdie Golf, you can get a set(4-PW) forged irons for $400, or a full set for $500. And Haywood golf, which has been tested on other channels but I like your analysis the best.

So happy to see the Maltby love!!! My TS3's have me playing more golf!

glad to see Maltby get some attention.

Great to see where you have placed Wilson. Pulling trigger on the Dynapower Forged at this weekends fitting

Planning to get the Maltby TS3 irons! Curious about their other clubs now! Could you please review the wedges, driver, woods, and hybrids? Thanks!!!!

After watching your review of the Maltby TS3s, I picked up a set. WOW! These clubs feel like butter; even the mis hits. I have never consistantly struck an iron in the sweet spot more than these TS3s. The best $500 I've spent in a long time.

I’ve never been a big fan of TaylorMade; I’ve always preferred Ping and Titleist. However, I did a driver fitting last month and was blown away by the Qi10 (I tried the standard and the max). I was able to produce the most swing speed with the standard model compared to the AI Smoke and Ping 10k, but the max model consistently had the straightest ball flight I’ve ever produced and finished third in distance behind the AI Smoke and standard Qi10 (only by four yds avg compared to the AI Smoke and seven to the standard). Sadly I didn’t get on with the Ping 10k. It felt heavier and was about 3mph slower on average than the Qi10 max. I’ve now used the Qi10 max for about 10-15 rounds so far and I’ve seen a large improvement on control and fairways hit. I’m now on the TaylorMade boat.

Wilson, Cobra, Takomo, Ram, Kirkland, Hogan, Maltby, Sub 70, Cleveland. All value! Thanks

Maltby = the hot girl/guy that doesnt give a crap that they're hot so it makes them even hotter. Love seeing them get credit that they're not even looking for 😜. Great list Gabe!

One brand that I sort of disagree with Gabe about, but sort of don't, is Ben Hogan. On one hand, the PTXPro/Icon combo set I got, I absolutely love. Fantastic feel. I probably am not quite the ball striker I should be to get the most out of. The forged steel they use is very soft, to the point that they'll get dinged up a bit just from rattling around in the bag. Their financial instability is definitely cause for concern, and they are priced a bit higher than other DTC clubs. I've definitely jumped on the Maltby bandwagon. Their latest lineup of forged irons look amazing.

Maltby is a cheat code full customization at that price point makes you like a super villain 😂😂😂 amazing quality

Hard to argue with someone who reviews golf clubs for a living!

I was fitted for the Mizuno M Craft 02 putter. Absolutely love it. Kinda pricey but still below the Scotty, Bettinardi, LAB prices.

Love the list! Great combo of performance and value taken into consideration. I have some new Vice Irons on the way, any plans to test them out?

2 absolutely great budget brands that have been around a while, are Orlimar, and Powerbilt. I have multiple clubs from each brand, and I'm very happy with them, especially a few of my older ones. I also recommend trying Birdie Golf clubs, very similar to the Sub 70s.

I played the Titleist 100s irons and TSI woods lastvyear and loved them butvswitched to t150 this year as well as TSR and cant belive how much better they are than 2021 models. After seeing your review of the Maltby TS3 as well as a few other reviewrs I had to pull the trigger. Able to get 4 through gap wedge in kuro kage hraphite shafts as welll as the tc pro driver, fairway and 2 hybrid for $1000. All with Kuro Kage shafts. Driver with the silver shaft that I used to play regularly. Cannot wait for delivery. Happy with the Titleists. Playing some of the best golf i have in years but always looking for that little bit of magic.

10:55 I have the G400s D,3,5, 5H, 6i-LW. I love them. They are in very good condition. I hit them well, got them fitted. Would I notice a big difference in the newer PINGs?

Good for Maltby! Absolutely solid irons done You're way. Taylormade has two interesting irons not yet released....the P7CB, and another prototype iron that looks similar to the P770/P790. The cb looks retro, like a rac tp from years ago, 2005. Should be intetesting. Not that it matters but the ranking for Callaway here surprised me. Good list!

Maltby Love Baby!!!! I've been enjoying my TS3's, hybrid, and woods!! I would have been happy if they were on the would buy list, but love that you have them on the Pure Class list!!

Recent golf convert here.... As in last summer. As someone on a buget, I am singing the lone praises of Ram. Yes, I woul rather have sprung for Maltby, Stix, or even the Strata offering from Callaway. But these Ram clubs are helping me break.... Well let's just say soon I may even keep score when I play. Side note: This is one of the first Golf channels I subscribed to because I want to learn more about the science behind clubs. I really appreciate what you do.

Thoughts on Top Flite? I’ve been golfing for about 2 years, getting close to breaking 100, mostly because of putting. I would really like to replace my Top Flite irons but I know I don’t need a $1000 set

Was playing ‘21 P770s thinking I was getting a little older and needed the help of a hollow iron. Tested a set of Blueprint S and immediately got fitted for them. Playing my best golf in years. Unbelievable iron for a good ball striker. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I agree with the Mizuno ranking, I tried TaylorMade, Callaway and Cobra woods and ended up falling in love with the Mizuno Driver/Fairway woods.

The same day this Video review dropped on Wednesday 6/26/2024 I received my Maltby TS3 iron set the same day. I took them out on the range yesterday along with my Garmin G80. WOW..holy moly these are God Tier forged Maltby TS3 irons . Smooth like butter Striking . Outstanding feel all around. Great trajectory . I took them out on the course today for the first time . These Maltby TS3 are unbelievable in every way . I cut/shaved about 3 strokes off my round the first time using these beautiful TS3 Maltby iron set . THEY ARE 💯💯💯 "PURE CLASS" Gabe these irons are everything you said that they are With your Score of 98 on your review of the Maltby TS3 iron set. They are that & some ..!! Gabe thank you thank you ..! I know I'll be able to cut /shave even more strokes off my round with these God Tier beautiful TS3 forged Irons. Maltby TS3. Definitely "PURE CLASS"✅️✅️✅️✅️💯💯💯

Maltby is definitely a shocker but totally agree with your rating. Their newest designs outclass many OEM and you can't beat the value.

Gabe, do you think you could review some maltby drivers of fairways? I would love to know more about the product. I trust your reviews and would never buy something I haven't personally hit unless it came from a very trusted recommendation source like yourself.

I've been building a budget bag and I have several Wilson Staff clubs, including my driver. Great clubs that feel and look good for a great price

Very fun video. First ive seen of this style from you since i subbed so cool to watch! Glad you put Macgregor in at least Would Try. I feel like they are tge most underrated golf brand. Fun fact i just learned: Macgregor, Ram, Tearddop and Zebra are all owned buy Sam Millington niw and he has done a great job with all those!

..Wilson Staff. Started playing them in the 70's, Then Ping showed up. Back to Wilson Staff in 2020, Would love to try WS's new stuff, but love my D7's...still have a Ping Zero putter though.

Still playing a Rife two bar putter after all these years. I bet a lot of us are still playing some oldie clubs. Good list thought.

Recently bought Honma irons and I absolutely love them.

The Wilson Staff D9 forged irons are a masterpiece! No wonder can hardly buy new and has to be 2nd hand in the UK!

Got a set of 2022 Adams tight lies woods and hybrids for 120 for 4 clubs. Still in my bag 2 years later. Underrated.

Again the best review and leading edge information provider. Agree with the ranks but thought Callaway had earned the pure class. The Apex lines alone are the best clubs I've played. I've tested for Titleist and Callaway for many years and I put them on the same level in specific categories. I understand though! Love your channel and energy!

I'm watching live Gabe (at 13:00 right now) and I'm waiting to see Costco on the board. I will update haha... and you literally hit it as I was going to hit 'comment' lol. Pure class in this Costco die-hard's opinion!!

I LITERALLY just found your channel about two hours ago and watched the last one a little over an hour ago.

I understand most of these but my one note is about Sub 70. I went with Sub 70 over the other DTC brands because of their service and customization options. They may be a tad more expensive but you have much better options to demo the clubs and you have a huge range of options to get the clubs that work for you. They are built here in the US and they stand behind their products like no one else. I am very cost conscious but the service and customization are well worth a little extra compared to Takomo and the others. Plus Sub 70 has multiple options for every spot in your bag and not just 1 or 2 options. If you haven't looked at Sub 70 I strongly encourage you to do so, you won't be disappointed.

I agree with you about the Wilson brand. My whole bag is practically all Wilson's now....

My Wilson irons are going nowhere I love them .

I haven’t gotten to try to Ai Smoke, Qi10, or 430 10k Max, which I know are in a league of their own, but my last year’s model Paradym X is the best driver I’ve ever touched. I also give GOAT status to my Cleveland HB Soft putter(s). I’ve got a decent putter collection with almost every brand, and the HB soft line is insanely good.

how wilson staff is ranked higher than Callaway, with all of the different types of players and options that Callway provides, including their own pre-owned site, they're Pure Class in my book.

I have the Stix irons 5-pw and the 52 and 56 wedges. They are sneaky good. Accurate and long. And soind great.

I really like my Callaway Edge set from Costco and I replaced the driver with a Rogue ST Max. Just getting into golf this year and I noticed a huge improvement from the cheap Amazon set I started with. Happy golfing, mates 😊

Great review, Gabe. But just wondering what catogory would be for LAB putter.

I was at the Honma outlet here in Taiwan yesterday and tried their clubs. I liked them. The cost was a major hurdle though. Even on sale the 6-pw were $450.

Was a little shocked at Tommy Armour being in the would try category vs would BUY category. Picked up the 5-PW for $299 with Recoil 660 shafts and included a loft and lie fitting. Don't know how you beat that value. Not to mention I hit them better than the Cobra F-Max super improvement irons that were $499. Just sayin'! Love the channel!

Didn't see New Level golf. Fantastic forged irons and a must check out if you haven't.

Go to a good club maker, have them build choose a smaller branded range like Golf smith, or Alpha or techpower. Properly made and balanced, frequency matched, correct length lie and LOFT angles etc these clubs will last you 20 plus years and be just as good if not better than the mass assembled clubs which vary in quality..

Gabe your channel to me is some of the best on KZfaq. I'm glad to hear you have an upcoming McGregor review. I hope it's their adjustable driver. God Bless

Sub70 hybrids are awesome. I bought one after the My Golf spy most wanted a year or two ago.

I think from reviews I have seen I agree with your list completely. I anxiously await your Macgregor review.😊

Nice seeing Yonex on the list still. Rick Shiels just reviewed their new driver, and he liked it. It's a shame they don't pursue the U.S. market again. Unfortunately, their pricing has gone up, and out of reach for us common folk. Another great list Gabe!

I was hoping to see Bombtech on this list. I bought a set and love them as a newer golfer. Hope to see what you think next time.

Got my dad a set of Maltby TS3 irons and I really want to try them out to see how they feel. I’m really debating between getting the TS1 IM, TS3, and even TS4. It’s a hard choice.

Just put together a new golf set with a Tommy Armour 845 Max 3 wood and 3 hybrid, RAM Laser irons 4-PW plus GW, and Wilson Harmonized 60 degree and putter. Very much a budget set but at least all of them made the “Would Try” category or better!

How about Maruman? Bridgestone? Yamaha?

Came to make sure Maltby got put where they belong. :)

Great review

Not sure how Callaway doesn't make the Pure Class level alongside Ping and Taylor Made. I tried the Ping G435, Taylor Made IQ and Callaway Ai Smoke in a club fitting and ended up buying the Callaway. All three brands were on par with each other (pardon the golf pun).

Where would you place LAB Golf?? Would Try, Would Buy, etc.

I bought a set a set of the Calloway Edge clubs from Costco. And holy crap. For $550 for a set of 10. I really love them. I went from 120 to breaking 100 in a matter of 2 months with these clubs.

Glad to see some DTC brands on the list.

My whole bag turned out to be wilson except my 3wood. Great driver and clubs

uk here: agree with wilson staff, their forged irons are as good as most of the top brands. seems like they've fallen out of the uk market? not sure how it is in the usa?

Great video! Is there a reason why you omitted LAB Putters. It's your current gamer, and you seem to love it.

Just got a set of Tommy armour 845+'s Love them so far

I have the 201s from takomo for my irons. For the price, you just can’t go wrong.

Thanks for the shoutout, Gabe!

Best golf Club reviews on KZfaq! Gabe, how can I follow in Stu’s footsteps and send you these Maltby TE+ DBMs (using Ship Sticks of course). Bought two sets because of your reviews! My extra set could be a fun giveaway 🤷

Haywood clubs. Phenomenal. I play the mbs. Sensational and performance is better than my 0317 st irons.

I do like Maltby,Cobra should be higher,like my Haywood to.

Where do you think krank would rank in this lisy

Where the edel brand I game those irons and they fantastic

Ping is probably the worst for availability and up charge for none stock shafts.ordered a 3 and 4 iron in February x100 soft stepped I was told that it would be early June as they didn't have any shafts available it's now the end of June and still not here I all so ask about s400 tour issues and what would the up charge be £75 per club so that's a definite no when some other manufacturers offer free upgrade or an extra £140 for a full set of irons

Miura ?? Should try :-) and then rank them next year.

honma iron few years model are awesome.. New one cheap in japan u an get iron set $300usd

New Level makes some of the best looking irons on the planet and have a presence on tour, they deserve a mention.

Woah woah woah what about Top Flite? They’re pretty popular, curious to see where you’d put them

Wilson unreal clubs

As a Tour Edge fan boy, I would put them at Pure Class. Their performance, price, and lifetime warranty gives them the best value over all others

Cobra have seriously moved up the list and I can’t understand why there’s not more tour pros useing them. My 2024 darkspeed max driver and cobra fly z+ irons from 2016 are incredible forged blade like irons !

No LAB?

1000% agree with Wilson and Takomo.

Every club should be based on performance if you are a serious golfer. This review, although entertaining, this sort of like picking a sports team based on their uniform color.

Really nice hat its fantastic

What about LAB?

Wilson everyday👍

since honma's are so lesser known in the states, you can get full iron sets for like $350-400. at that bang for buck, they're well worth it.

Why LAB GOLF is not even there??

How about LAB putters?

Would like you to test the vice irons

Completely disagree with Honma rating. They are great value for money. Junior golfer here in Australia and I got a TW747 With stock Stiff flex shaft. I paid 300 Bucks. I tried the Qi10, yet my honma went further, and it’s 800 dollars cheaper? Thoughts?

Looking slim and healthy! I love your content, keep it up!

Cobra all the way!

I know it’s his opinion but to put Callaway in would buy instead of pure class is crazy. Especially since maltby is in that class

Callaway has to be in the world class category, they are as good as if not better than anything in that category
