I pulled the trigger on a set of TS1-IM after your previous review. I am beyond pleased with the forgiveness, height and sweet feel of my Maltby irons! I used my six iron last month for a 160 yard 2nd shot uphill on a par 5 at my local club. It was on target for the pin and once I got up to the green, I found my Taylormade Tour Response Stripe in the cup for an albatross.
Wow, thats a great feeling 🍾 congrats
Only with Maltby 🎉
The secret sauce of the Maltby TS line is they all have nearly identical MOI but different vertical COG and slightly altered loft progression to match up. Players with slightly higher strike patterns will tend to prefer the TS1IM (.788). Players with slightly lower strike patterns will tend to prefer the TS3 (.691). The TS4 sits in the middle (.765). All three are fantastic clubs.
I appreciate your comment. When you say a slightly higher strike patter, what do you mean? Higher trajectory? Hitting higher/lower on the club face? My miss tends to be thin/low on club face. Would one be better fit for my miss?
@@michaelfulcher5743 Strike location on the clubface. The closer you strike to the sweet spot (combination of horizontal and vertical COG) the better the club feels and performs. The TS3 has a very low vertical COG (VCOG) so players who tend to have a thin miss will still be striking "closer" to the sweet spot compared to a club with a higher VCOG. All of this is affected by angle of attack and shaft lean and most people will "find" the sweet spot of a particular iron, but matching to your tendencies has benefits because it will feel "right" immediately.
One way to go down this rabbit hole is to look at irons you've owned and pick your all time favorite and your all time most hated. Look up their VCOG values on the Golfworks MPF rating chart and compare. A lot of times you'll see a pattern. Every iron set I've fallen in love with has had a VCOG of around .790. As a thin misser, you might find that the lower the VCOG the better...and not many designs by any manufacturer get it as low as the TS3.
@@michaelfulcher5743 He means on the club face. The smaller or lower the Vertical center of gravity on the head or VCOG (as Maltby calls is) number, means the center of gravity is lower in the head. The lower the vcog, the ball should launch more easily with less spin Vs a higher vcog in the head (higher number) should launch more flat and spin more. Maltby likes a lower vcog and his MPF ratings take this into account. Irons with lower vcogs score really well in his mpf iron head ratings. His irons are pretty low moi though. like 12-13. To where a company like Ping has been going with higher vcogs and higher moi heads (17-19). So its all about what you want in an iron head. I am a low ball hitter and do find irons with vcogs in that < 0.800 range to hit the ball higher than irons with a higher .800+-.900 vcog.
Could you tell me if these are forgiving enough for a 15+ handicap?
@@coltonsheriff9438tough to say. While they rate high on the maltby mpf scale (because the vertical center of gravity is low) they are definitely a smaller head than most game improvement irons these days. So if head size is something you pay attention to that could play a factor.
Gabe: I purchased the TS3 after having the STi clubs for several years. I called GolfWorks to add one more club to the set. Something was said about my TS3s ... and you can try to pry them from my cold, dead hands. BUT ... I won't give them up without a fight. I think they lowered my handicap. I can shape shots now, better spin, and they are a higher trajectory. Anything a mid-handicap golfer would want. Yes, you also get great feedback when you hit the sweet spot. On, my ...
Awesome, did you get them with the score lt shaft?
@@robertvandenheuvel9695 No, I'm a senior golfer with a 17 handicap and slower swing speed. I chose the Kuro Kage 2nd generation shaft in A flex and the Golf Pride tour velvet 360 grip in mid-size. Loved the clubs right out of the box.
Saw this video in July, ordered TS3 5-GW. Very, very happy. Irons are all you said they would be. Could not agree more with your ranking! Just turned 74, with an index that's falling, now < 4. It's really special watch/feel these irons perform. Confidence over a shot is a wonderful thing. (Last week made 4 birdies on the back nine twice. Best ever!!)
Never tell a company they are selling something too cheap.
Exactly
If you go to the Golf Works site (Maltby's outlet for selling their club heads) you'll find they are not that in-expensive... Still less than the major brands, but not the sub $600 price you are led to believe...
He’s not saying anything they don’t already know. Most companies come in low at the start to build up a following and loyalty, then they raise prices.
They are already well aware how cheap they are right now.
tell them they're selling something affordable.
@@RenBobbins Maltby has been making clubs for over 30 years. Which is why when it comes to marketing, they're as ancient as it gets. These reviews aren't their doing in the slightest. They did however write the playbook on the DTC model and maintaining profitability while keeping the consumer cost low.
I’m playing the TS-3s. Best irons I’ve ever played! I’m a 5. I can recommend them to any player. I’m using Nippon NS Pro 950GH shafts
The offset with them is what gives me pause... I currently play their older TE Forged but want to upgrade this season.
Ordered some TS-3's that should be coming in a few weeks, can't wait. I'm about a 10 handicap and sometimes struggle with stopping longer irons on the green
Did you have any of the lofts adjusted? I play Nippon shafts and love them!
3 months ago I bought a set of TS3 (6I - GW). I also got a 5H, 4H & 5W. All for $900. Graphite shafts +1" and midsize grips. Best combo of value & performance I have ever played.
I am hoping to see you review the Maltby TE + forged cavity back.... I really like Maltby clubs and the reviews thta you have posted. I feel that you are trustworthy and really dont try to sway as much as educate the public on what is available out here in the the world so that we can all enjoy the game without the enormous price tag of gear. Thank You!
I've played the TE Forged club for many years, with both the Score/steel shaft and the graphite shaft. I like the look, the forged feel and the "Old School" lofts. BTW it's great to see that SOMEONE is reviewing Maltby/component equipment, it really is excellent equipment at a very fair price.
You should try the maltby drivers and woods. All the talk is always about the irons but I'm curious to see if the woods are any good as well.
Would love to see some Maltby driver/wood/hybrid reviews. As good as the irons?
These are one of their most forgiving irons per their MPF rankings, with the TE+ right behind them. So happy to see you give Maltby some love.
GOOD MORNING MALTBY GANG.
Appreciate you doing more Maltby! Hope we get to see some of the drivers/woods/wedges.
TS1 IM 💪
TS3 💪
I like how clean these look, the absence of any other materials on the outside, no gimmicky colorful plastic, just pure beauty.
That's a recent aesthetic with Maltby, as a long time player of their clubs, I think they have really gone next level with their current lines.
For more iron shots in iron reviews: on the longest holes play driver from the tips so you have mid iron 2nd shots. The shortest holes play the reds with irons. How the 5-9 perform means the most, as most guys can hit a decent wedge shot with any type of club ...
Agree!
Agree don't hit driver, it's not a review of score it's about how you hit the irons. Better still just hit irons on all tee shots and fairway shots, even if that means playing par 5 with 4i, 5i 8i so you get to hit them all.
I haven't watched your channel in a while but wanted to say you're looking great! Younger and healthier. Whatever you're doing keep it up and good on ya! Thanks for keeping the great content coming!!!
Yeah Gabe is looking skinny!
Welcome back!
Really like that the lofts aren't jacked up too far like so many game improvement clubs today. I find more traditional lofts to be so much easier on the eye when playing. These seem to hit the sweet spot.
Bought these recently. Cut them 0.25" short since I'm a short 5'7" guy. They play good and feel well balanced. Easily the best value for money irons on the market and it's not even close. My only real issue with forged irons is that they get nicked up easy, but i guess that just adds to the cool factor of the club.
I've had a set of TS3s sitting in my Golfworks cart for probably a year. This video might be the final push I needed.
Too bad they are on backorder now lol
Great job on what content you've put out for many years, I've watch so many differnt social media platforms about golf instructions or reviews and I'm not sure any other channel does what you do. And is very good at it.Honesty is very easy to for me to see,no nonsense, no sales pitches,leaving our Ego at home in the game of golf goes a long way, idk, just a pat on the back when I see things that deserve a honest comment.Thanks for your effort and knowledge, anything done right in life its easy.
You are doing what most golf CZcamsrs don't do! Great to see the smaller companies get some recognition
I assembled a set of TS3's this spring and have played 3 rounds with them. They are fantastic. Medium top line hides all of the game improvement weight distro. Super forgiving and great feel. Once you dial in your numbers they are insane. I recycled my iron shafts so my 5-GW set was less than $400. These replaced a set of Custom KZG irons and will now stay in the bag for a few years!!!
I like how you do your reviews. Not a fan of iron only. Like you I like seeing what a real round with real trouble and opportunities is DEFINITELY the right choice.
Gabe, there are a couple of really great things about your channel. One is your enthusiasm and love for golf. The other is that you give exposure to brands that I would otherwise not experience. As far as your only irons vs. play the way you normally play question, I think an all irons format might be worth trying. After all, you are trying to evaluate irons, and the more irons you hit the more information that you (and us) have. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks my friend 🙏
I have a set of the KE4 Max, 4-GW. I love them, but I may look at a set of the TS-3's now. Thank you.
Really appreciate you reviewing these Gabe and also a big thanks to bringing the Maltby brand to my attention in general. Looking for some advice if you don’t mind. I’m currently in my 4th year of playing golf, 21 handicap and see myself ending the season somewhere around 16-18hcp. I’m gaming a starter set I bought second hand from Craigslist (top flite XL7000 originally made in like 2012).
Some basic info on where my game is at right now incase it helps. I don’t struggle to get the ball in the air, I’d say decent ball striker atm. I currently lean a bit more to the sweeper side of things but do take a small divot on my shots (getting better). Hitting around 22-25% GIR on my rounds so far this season which is much better from years prior. Been steadily improving every season but things are seemingly starting to click for me this year. Still young, played sports my whole life and can see myself getting to single digit golf eventually.
I’ll be upgrading at some point this year and it’s either TS1-IM or these TS3’s, I’m leaning TS1-IM purely based on the looks but wondering if that might a mistake? From everything I’ve seen and read it seems like I can’t really go wrong with either but having played both I was wondering if you’d (or anyone else with experience) recommend one over the other for someone like me. I likely won’t be upgrading again for at least 5 years so any insight would be much appreciated.
The TS3 have a very low VCOG which is nice for sweeper style swings. I have a sweeping swing and have found the TS3 to be insanely nice and easy to play.
I'm so glad you got to test theTS3's, I knew you'd love them. Everyone's raving about them.
I ordered a set of TS1s. They arrive today. Can't wait to play them
I do agree with the "play as you play" take, but I would be interested to see a full run of just the irons. If not from the front tee's, maybe a municipal course where it brings the irons more into focus.
Yessss!!!! Thank you for the opportunity to send these clubs in for review!
Doin Maltby proud man! I'm loving my TS3's and not really missing my TS4's THAT much lol.
Good job my man!
@@AZstu324 The TS4's look better, IMO, but the TS3 are such a special club
@@TheApostateTapir yeah can't argue with the looks sentiment about the TS4's BUT the 3's still look fantastic. I'm not even mad at the slightly thicker topline because the blade length is actually a little shorter on these.
Bottom line is Maltby literally has a club for EVERY golfer! And they're unique and proprietary designs that actually work. Not borrowed copies like these others.
I was expecting it to be Stu who sent these in, I am definitely going TS3s this summer!
WHAT??? Not using the L A B Putter??? 😳 Great review !!! Just got my Golf Works New catalog in the mail yesterday , have not had a chance to look it all over .
Testing something new out
@@LetsPlayThru wondering how many birdies you'd have if the LAB was in the bag.
Gabe, as always, you have knocked it out of the park! I love the authenticity and insights that you provide in your reviews. You give all of us mere mortals incredibly valuable info to help our golf game in a very entertaining fashion. Thanks & keep it up! ⛳️👍🏻
Thanks Seth
@@LetsPlayThru Does Maltby currently only make RH irons?
@@sethnorthern711 They make the STi2 in left hand. They aren't as nice as the forged offerings, but they actually feel shockingly good for the price. I compared my buddy's STi2 to my TS3 and the STi2 held their own. You can get a full set for under $250.
@@TheApostateTapir Do you know if Maltby plans to expand LH to their other models?
@@sethnorthern711 I am unaware of any plans to do so. However, Maltby is receptive to emails if you'd like to get a more solid answer.
Love the Maltby lineup … best kept secret in golf. This industry is too snooty and too influenced by what (endorsing) tour player choose. Bravo Gabe for not selling out and purely judging a club by its merits
Try the TE+. They are unbelievable. Chose them over the Mizuno JPX Tour. I think by far the best direct to consumer brand clubs. Not even close. Build quality is excellent and feel is great. A forgiving club with a players look, slightly longer blade length with very little offset.
I would love to see you review the Maltby drivers and fairway woods.
Gotta say i bought a brand new set of ts3 from ebay for 400 in march after watching the videos of ts 1 im and ke4max. Best irons ive ever owned ive had titleist dci 962 which i hold dear to my heart but those dont hold a candle to these silk smooth way softer than any mizuno i have owned! Im sure mizuno fanboys will come after me for that statement but i dont care. Thanks gabe for showing me and other about maltby irons. Im in Oregon anytime your out here would love to tee it up.
Happy to hear you’re loving them!
Been playing the ts3 with the tt elevate shaft for the past 2 years. If you wanna launch them and bring them down on a rope, that's the combo you need. Current hdcp is 5.8. Also don't dismiss the hybrids, have 3h-5h in ventus red stiff. That 5h goes 190 and finishes maybe 1 foot from its pitch mark.
You playing the new TC Pro? Or the previous? I have the new 7 wood and the thing is a distance approach weapon! Have it paired with the Maltby MPF shaft too. Their whole line up is a criminally underrated sleeper squad. EVERYTHING is world class.
@@AZstu324 the previous hybrids...just saw the new ones in the catalog. got them on order. I use the MPF shaft in my 3wood. I will tell anyone that will listen....especially if they are about to shell out 2g for some 18th gen typical oem nonsense.
Maltby aka Golfworks has been selling component clubs for a very long time. They have the history and knowledge to put out quality products year after year. Their TE models have been a staple line for them and is now tweaked for I think a 5th time.
Great review Gabe I own a set of Maltby TS3 irons as well with UST Dart Recoil 75G F4 stiff shafts and they are amazing irons, I've had them since they came out.
Maltby has always made fantastic clubs, I would love to see a review of the Putters they make.
Love this! My son bought these irons two months ago and loves them.
Sounds like your son's dad needs a set of them too! 😜
I’ve been playing Maltby clubs for years, great clubs and value!
Between this video and the TS1 IM review video I order a 7i of each to test... MANNN what these clubs are such a surprised! Ended up ordering a full set of TS3's today. Amazed more people do not play these
I'm definitely in the camp of irons only in these reviews. It would allow you to hit most or all irons in the set.
I just ordered a set of TS4's from the custom shop. I was really considering the TS3's but the blades won me over.
You won't be disappointed! The 4's are so sexy!
I live near the Golfworks pro shop and was able to test out and get fitted for a set. I went intending to get the TS1-IM but tried them all. But the TS4 won me over. I found the TS3 (in indoor simulator) was less consistent with distance control. And you’re right the blades look sweet and give confidence
Love Maltby! It would be great if you could do a video describing the difference between the 3 irons as far as forgiveness, blade length , offset etc
Love a test TS1 IM vs. TS3 Maltby You convinced me on the IMs and purchased. My IMs replaced My MP32 Mizunos.
Hi Gabe, please keep testing the irons the way you do. You can compare them against all other clubs tested and the way you would play the course. Maltby do appear to make quality clubs. Time for them to open in Thailand or South East Asia.
You have just got a new subscriber man. I watched your reviews on budget clubs and then got a real interest in the Maltby clubs even though I'm Irish and living in Germany. And also just wanted to say a big heads up on the weight loss from six months ago, you are in great shape😊 plus your delivery and style on all things golf is brilliant. I'm confident that your channel will really blow up.
Appreciate the support 🇮🇪 🇩🇪
I’ve been shopping for new irons for several months, was leaning to the Pxg 0311T, saw you video on these and decided to try the TM3s. Couldn’t be happier. Great looking, incredible feel and forgiving. Even though they are 4 degrees weaker than my Pxg gen3 Xps, I hit them the same distance but higher and significantly more spin, better decent angle. So stoked my search is over. Thanks Gabe!
That’s so good to hear. Hope they serve you well for a long time!
Wooooo hooooo!! These are what I've turned to for the remainder of 2024. Great video again sir!
IMO these are the absolute PERFECT transition iron. You could play them if you're a 20 hdcp or a 7 like me and be very happy either way. They're otherworldly forgiving for CB's and can work a ball like a good player's club should.
Yeah totally agree, Stu. These are the Maltby’s for me.
Yes for the 'Irons Only' for irons reviews. Play off the up tees and use all the irons.
Best line “boring missionary position style golf”😂
this caught me be surprise as well. I hope I don't use that expression at my work golf league!
I agree!! I almost spit the beer out of my mouth when Gabe said that 😂
I also play the TS3 paired with MMT graphite shafts and they are by far, my favorite clubs I have ever owned. The feel, especially when I swapped from Nippon Modus 105 to the MMT 85, is the best of any iron I have hit, ever. Also the low mid launch really gave me the best trajectory as they do get up there. Ive owned the ts-1 and ke4 max prior and these are easily my fav Maltby design. Great review and glad to see confirmation of my thoughts.
How would you compare them to the TS1-im’s?? Thanks. Definitely have peaked my interest in a set!!
I live within a short drive of Golfworks who makes this club and for some people who think Golfworks has ancient marketing, don’t understand what I know, which is their clubs are in high demand. I was in the other day and they do very well.
I’ve had quite a few Maltby iron sets and they are fantastic irons. I actually have a set of TS3’s. They’re great clubs for sure!
I do have and play the new staff irons but Maltby irons are top notch. For me personally, I kinda wish they made a smaller looking head, hence why I play Wilson Staff irons and I apologize if anyone who knows me who works at Gokfworks, sees my comment haha
Yes! My gamers! I absolutely love these clubs, incredible brand
😂😂 Missionary type golf, that cracks me up. I have the TS3 and so far so good. They are the best club I have owned!! Great review, thanks Gabe!
I love my KE4 Max irons!
Thanks Gabe, I am going to look into these irons. 👍🏼
Hey Gabe @ Let's Play Thru⛳ I Love all your great video reviews. Gabe Excellent content the best videos on the internet. I just put my $1,000 set off clubs together. I've been playing with the Taylor Made Firesole Complete set for 25 years. It was time for me to clean house & upgrade ..lol 🤣 I Just Ordered my setup I purchased the Maltby TS3 Irons 4-GW $519 ⛳, The Tour Edge C524 Hot 🔥Launch Driver $240⛳ , The Tour Edge Hot 🔥Launch 3 Wood $170 ⛳, The Kirkland 3 Piece Wedge Set 2nd gen $200 ⛳ Total = $1,129 a little over $1,000 I know it will be all well worth it. I can't wait to get out here in New Port Richey Florida to hit the Pill with my new set up. Thanks, Gabe, for all your great honest video reviews. A+++👍💯💯
I had a 7 and 8 iron made up with Nippon Modus 120 to test...absolutely love them and will be having the rest of the set 4-G made by Golfworks / Maltby. Very clean look (better in person than their website), soft feel and forgiving. super value in my opinion. thanks Gabe, great review as always. love your enthusiasm :)
The cost depends on cost of the shaft and grip...I have a similar Maltby irons..with great shaft..ends up 109$ per club and I do the assembly including spine alignment..super feeling and worth the money..Stressdr
I built fishing rods and I would find the spine by bending the rod with pressure on the tip and rotating in the palm of my hand till I felt tension and it would pop in place. That’s how I knew where the spine was. How can I find the spine of a steel shaft without having to pay $20 or $25 per shaft to get “pure” charge from maltby? Is there a diy method?
The video was SO motivating that I went to the Golf Works web site to price out a set. Why not if they are less than $600 right? I was ready to pull the trigger on a second set of irons. Well... That price is for heads only. After you choose shaft and grip, price will be closer to $100-$150 per club depending on which shaft and grip you choose. Options for PUREING and special trimming adds more. That's still less than big name brands. Main downside is that you won't have the option of doing an in-person fitting session with a professional fitter.
WRONG!!! standard set with the Score shafts that he's using is $519!!!! You're adding in for custom shafts. All special trimming is free. I've ordered many sets from them, amazing deal.
You need to go to the club paks section. With the stock shafts full set is under 500.
You need to go to the Paks tab. There you will find the pre determined (not built) sets. And they build them to order. The sky is the limit with Golfworks and components and you can get as costly as you like but these TT Score shafts are really great as a "budget" option.
Like Gabe said, they have club Paks which are the Score LT shafts and are insanely affordable.
I like the idea of moving up and hitting irons in for iron review
What would work great with this idea is that if Gabe has a nice exec to play at. This way he has a chance to work through the whole bag in 1 video and not seem stretched to make the distance.
I think the LAB DF3 would have made some of those putts.
My bet is on most of them 😝
Is there a big difference between the TS1-IM, these TS3's and then the TS4? All forged and look the business for sure! Is there a "playability" difference?
I’d rank them TS1-IM > TS3 > TS4 in order of playability
Do a search for Maltby Playability Factor and you can actually see how Maltby scores their clubs with all club specs included.. and basically every club on the market for that matter.
Maltby rates their playability (MPF Rating) as TS3>TS4>TS1-IM if I recall correctly
What handicap range would be recommended for these clubs?
to be honest, any. These are as easy to hit as any SGI clubs.
@LetsPlayThru was paired with a guy today playing a split set of TS4/TS3's and some of the Maltby TSW wedges. I asked him how he liked them and he was in love. He was a pretty darn good player too. Then I asked where he learned of Maltby.. he said he'd never heard of Maltby until he saw your review. It's the first time I've ever seen another set of Maltbys in the wild besides mine. Your exposure is definitely making a mark on the world! Keep up all the good work sir!
Oh man, that's crazy! So in effect you're the reason he has them, because I never would have reviewed them if you didn't send me yours to test.
@@LetsPlayThru ok I'll take 25% of the credit 😜
Only newer Maltby iron set missing now is the TE+ V4. That's what I have and really love them.
he did that one already
@@rickhammel9541 maybe he meant the TE+?
@@AZstu324 yeah, probably
@@rickhammel9541 yes sorry, TE+ V4
For someone that is still new at golf and currently running the Costco set. I’m thinking about getting a set of these from the PaK set. How do I find the length of shaft I need. Was thinking of going stand length
You could go to a local golf shop and have them measure you. It would be free. But if you’re already using that set and it seems to work, I think you’ll be fine with regular length unless you are very tall.
Never heard of Maltby until I started watching your channel. Very impressive.
Love my STi2's, will be trying out their woods, hybrids and drivers they have for lefties soon.
I have these, 4 thru gap. Love them. Also have the max 090 wedges which are spin machines
We need to get one of those wedges in Gabe's hands. I moved from TM MG3's to the Max Milled 1.05's. I feel like I can hit wedge shots with my eyes closed with these and the spin is so predictable! And for $60/club it just plays right into their quality to value model.
@@AZstu324 I offered up my TSW wedges whenever he wants them. A comparison video might be fun!
@@TheApostateTapir would be cool to eventually get him a full set for a Maltby bag review. Woods, wedges, irons, and putter. I think we can make it happen lol.
I know you probably don't have these clubs on hand anymore so it'll be tough to do a head to head comparison, but I'm curious what your thoughts are comparing the TS3's to the new P7CB's from TM. Seems like the design and tech are very similar with the 1025 carbon steel and co-forged tungsten. Wondering if the TS3's hang in there against a similar club that's nearly 3x the cost.
So having hit quite a few clubs, I'll say that anything Maltby produces is on par, and sometimes even better than the OEM options. They don't cut any production corners. They last a long time and don't wear out like some of these others might (I've heard stories). Definitely don't let the low price throw you off. They're a world class brand for sure!
Example: speaking for the TS1-IM'S, I had a set of them (the ones Gabe reviewed) and my buddy plays the new P770's. He paid $1500+. The IM's are so much better. They're fully forged, look better, and feel so much better. Playability is probably equal but they're way more forgiving. The Maltbys are just better on paper and overall performance. I now play the TS3's and those are as good as anything!
Don't get why your channel doesn't have more subs! And looking trim Gabe, congrats!
At this price, I'll order the 7 and 5 irons and see how they work. Good review.
10 handicap that plays a combo takomo set. What combo setup of maltby would you recommend. Prefer forged feel
Gabe, what type of golfer are these best suited to? Player distance iron? Or game improvement. You mention workability, so Im guessing player distance.
They're pretty impressively forgiving. I would say maybe not for a complete beginner, but they'll be great for anyone from 20 handicap to scratch.
Agree 👆
Like to see you test the new MacGregor MACSPD DTC irons.
I know woods are part of the game, however when you’re reviewing irons it would be great to see only irons and putter used, that way you would maximise the usage of what you’re reviewing. I sometimes leave my woods at home just to see how well I can play without them, and sometimes I am pleasantly surprised.!
Honest opinion on the trutemper score shafts ?
Gabe looking good my friend? Have been doing anything to lose weight? Or just golf and summer heat? I’ve been using precor elliptical myself since May 2022, went from 292 to 200 and has definitely helped my golf game!
Precor?
@@privateusername2222 just the brand. Commercial grade found in most gyms
would you recommend these, the ts1 im, or the takomo 201s? looking for a forged set thats forgiving enough but still workable. mid-low handicap
I'll stack my 25 yo Maltby putter against your LAB 3 any day 😂
You’re on
I am really looking for a X STIFF Pak. Have any of you heard that graphite stiff is stiffer than the steel?
You could always call them to see what they recommend. The MPF graphite shaft is a total sleeper shaft. It plays maybe close to a full flex stiffer but is so smooth and stable. I play X100's in 1 set and 6.5's in another set and could easily switch to the Maltby MPF S flex. They could even tip trim them to play a hair stiffer if needed.
If your a high handicap player, +15, would you recommend these clubs to someone like me ?
Right on the edge. I think I’d be leaning at something like the Wilson Staff Dynapower instead
I have the TS1-IM and just bought the TS3 7 iron. Thinking of doing a blended set, 5-7 TS3 and 8-PW TS1-IM. What do you think ?
i would love a set of these, just cant afford them , maybe one day ! Hello from the UK !
I would argue these are right where clubs should be priced, maybe a touch high. Especially if we want to grow the game. Until we get past 1200 dollar iron sets and 550 dollar drivers, the new market is just never going to be on my radar. Not sure if feel the 5/5 looks, but that's clearly the most subjective.
Great review as always. Thanks.
Please provide the link to order a set of TS3 irons where I can select the shafts as well. Thanks so much.
Can you compare these vs Takomo?
I would love to get some of these DTC irons but i really need a fitting to know what i actually need. I have never bought new irons and it's about time
Which set of irons would you suggest for new golfer?
WOW!! GOD Tier!!! Doesn't get better than that. A full set of God tier irons with customization for a couple hundred bucks less than the price of a new Big Brand Driver. Where do I sign?? Anybody want a used set of Mizuno JPX900 forged 7-GW, reg flex Project X graphite shafts cheap??
When I'm due for irons again, I thought I would look at Takomo. Now I'll add Maltby to the list.
I just bought some Taylormade oversized Burners for my first set. Do you think these are okay for a beginning golfer? They feel okay but I think they might be old? The closest videos I found of them were from like 1998 lol they definitely arent the 2013 ones I see other videos on... so somewhere between 1998 and 2012 lol I only paid $120 and I got a taylormade aeroburner driver. Are these too old? Should I be looking at something newer?
Looking slim brah!!! Keep on doing what you're doing. I'm gonna have to try these Maltby clubs!!! Whats the weight of those shafts?
About 117g
Starting to think you're in cahoots with Maltby lol
I feel like 3 out of the last 5 videos I've seen from this channel are trying to get me to buy Maltby lol
Ha, they won’t even loan me a set to test. If it wasn’t for the generosity of the LPT community, these vids wouldn’t exist. 🤣
@@LetsPlayThruI'm still holding my breath and crossing my fingers that they'll see the light over there and start to do test sets. Something has to give right?
How would you compare these to Pxg 0211 XCOR2 Irons. They would be pretty close in price.
