TESTERS WANTED! ×

Maltby PTM


Popeye64

Recommended Posts

It's been a long time in the works but Golfworks just released their new PTM heads. Form forged and available in Pearl Chrome and the DBM finish. Minimal progressive offset and progressive bounce as well. Can't wait to get this head, should be in hand Wednesday.

 

I'm gonna test it against my MMB-17 with the same Nippon 950GH s shaft. You have to buy the full set for the blacks so I will only test the chrome 6 iron for now. Lofts are modern day stronger by 1 to 2° than the DBM.

 

Blacks are the same specs but with that indestructible finish.

 

Should be fun stuff!!ma0285specs-1.jpgma0285.jpgma0286.jpg

What does DBm stand for

 

Sent from my SM-G930V using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Diamonized Black Metal. It's a coating process that actually gets into the metal not on. It's really tough and does not add thickness to the face so the milled grooves actually work better than a chromed head.

 

I have yet to see any bag chatter on a DBM coated head. Even though it's a soft forging.

 

One of Matlbys best selling heads is named DBM as well.. Which might get confusing down the line as this process is gaining popularity as more people realize it doesn't fade like the PVD coating. So if you look on the catalog they are being referee to a blacks on the different models. I usually coated mine with a little WD40 and after 2 years they still looked new.

The black heads look awesome.  Always liked the black irons that Ricky plays but don't have the game for blades.   These look a little more forgiving.  Wish there was a place to demo the irons without ordering a single club like the OP did.  Everyone who plays the DBM heads seems to really like them.

Have you ever tried blades?

I have played Callaway Apex Pro 14 but not true blades.  The past couple seasons toe hits have scared me away from blades.   You can get away with hits out of the heel with blades but toe hits don't go anywhere.  At some point I will find a used set of blades and give them a try.

I've had a set of DG S300 shafts laying around for awhile, I've been looking for some affordable heads, but, people on eBay want almost as much for just the heads as they want for a shafted set of clubs, and most aftermarket heads are .370 bores, and the S300s that I have are .355 taper tips, looking at the chart it appears that the hosel are universal or dual bore, and I really like the look of these clubs and the fact that the lofts are a little stronger. I'm really going to have to take a hard look at these.

I really like the black. Wonder how they would preform against my Nike Covert?

Can I test your 6 iron when you decide to build a full set in black?

 

That leading edge looks very Titleist-ish. A nice move since it works quite well.

When I'm done with testing of some new graphite shafts I will have a couple of heads laying around.

Looks nice! Could you please post address pics of the 4, 8, and PW? Thanks!!

I have only tinkered with the 6 iron so far. I will say this though. You almost can't tell which club you are swinging between the MMB-17 and the PTM. Looking down at address is difficult as well.

Found this tech sheet on the dbm process... really is the real deal.  Not sure why other manufacturers haven't tried to copy it somehow.  Any 'black/dark' clubs I've had faded after a season...

Cobra is using it. I believe Matbly was the first manufacturer to use it. The beauty is how easy it is to maintain. A rag and wd40, that's it.

I played the MMB for the last half of the season and I can't remember an iron that did everything I asked of it. Consistent, forgiving, fantastic looking at a third of the price for anything OEM.

 

I like them so much I just ordered a set in the Blacks
