Maltby TS1 Irons

Recommended Posts

From what I can see in your photos I like them. Your build looks great too. I'm not the least off-put by your irons or Maltby. I play Wishon and most people don't have a clue about Wishon clubs let along who Tom Wishon is. So, it your or my clubs aren't on tour or in golf magazines they're invisible to most. Further, most golfers (probably aside from MGS forum members) think they are El Cheapo or clone clubs and such. 

I'm curious what your cost per club was? IYDM. Just components.

I don’t mind you asking. $101 (rounded up) before tax per club. Golfworks did offer a promotion on shipping which was going to be $32 with a 7-10 day estimate. Order was placed Wednesday AM and arrived Friday at 8:48AM.

Wishon and KZG among others, have a dedicated following in the builder’s world. I have not played Wishon irons but I have no reason to believe they are anything but great from testimonials that I’ve read. They will be a conversation starter for sure. I’m excited to see them speak for themselves.

Thank you. Having a workspace is something that I appreciate. It’s also nice to slow down and think myself through a project with some good music playing in the background.

Nice! . Just picked up a new set of TS2’s and a TS1 gap wedge. Cannot wait to try them out. Waiting on the new Maltby wedges and am tempted to pick up a driver  . They have me hook, line and sinker. 


TS2’s look great. I hope you enjoy...I took the Gap out today behind my parents’ home. They live next to a course that closed three years ago and became a park. The holes still exist (albeit rough shape which is fine) so I hit some shots today while running my dog to get some early yardage estimates.

And just a heads up...

The comments in the TSW Wedge review say they drop tomorrow (week of 23rd) rather than the “back ordered until April” comments on the page.

If that’s the case I’ll likely add a 54* to gap my setup a little better than where I am right now.

Post some pics of yours when you get a chance...use this thread if you’d like

You guys have probably seen me post in other threads so sorry for the repeat. Many people in underground component golf brand world don't realize that Wishon was an apprentice of Ralph Maltby back in the 80's.

Wishon then went on to run Dynacraft. And eventually broke off to start Wishon Golf.

Wishon was also a drummer for the Steve Miller band!

These are some really nice looking irons! Can't wait for the release of the TSW wedges. I'm also really interested in the KE4 TC 3 wood or STF2 3 wood.

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

Nice I pre paid for my wedges hopefully they ship soon. I agree with the 3 wood I am going to order the KE4 just can’t decide which shaft
I played their KE4 tour hybrid with the Maltby S flex shaft and was beyond impressed with the shaft. Very smooth and stable. I'd be really interested to see how it plays in the 3 wood.

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

If the TS-1 or the TS-2s were released by an OEM they would be the runaway iron of the year.

Interesting grip choice Bens, can't wait to hear how you like those. Wish Lamkin had some Arccos crossover with embedded grips so I could get those on the Pings, but will be interested to get tour opinions.

I really wanted a ribbed grip. The early reports said the Calibrate was more pronounced than GP Align technology.

Last season I had switched to the Lamkin Sonar from GP Tour Wrap 2G. Golfworks had a promotion for a free grip and I really loved how it felt. It was a good match for me as I prefer to not wear a glove and it was really tacky.

So here we are today, a blend of the wrap style that I like with Sonar texture and a rib. I won’t call it the Holy Triumverate as that is reserved for Rush; all in all, a combination that really works well for me.

I completely agree! I've also been pushing for MGS to get them in the lineup. It's probably only a matter of time. They're doing reviews on other DTC companies and I'm extremely surprised that Maltby hasn't hit the radar yet. 

Could it be Maltby that doesn't want/need the additional publicity..?? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve written on several posts that I’ve been interested in building a new set of irons this season. As it’s progressed, I pulled the trigger last week and went with a 4-GW setup with Nippon Modus 3 120 shafts in a stiff flex. The trial period was with the 7 iron and it’s been consistently positive. I’ve tried hitting a variety of shots in several different conditions. Wind, no wind, rain, cold and sun. The trial period was very successful and as a result, these are my new irons. 
I am well aware that Maltby irons are not wetting the whistle of every golfer. I’ll be blunt and say, you’re not my audience.  
This was a very fun project and the heads are complemented by ferrules from BB&F Co.  The ferrules arrived in a drawstring pouch which was cool. Above all, quality of the product is fantastic. At approximately $3-$4/each, it doesn’t break the bank to add a nice touch.
 
Here are some photos of the set and as the season progresses, I’ll be able to add to this thread. If you’re interested in a players distance club that you can build yourself, I am here to answer whatever questions you have.

The only reason I see them being a bit hesitant is people thinking they are just a component shop and although they offer so much more shaft options and availability combinations its not the most user intuitive process. MGS is the place to really test that though most users care about the numbers.

So very true. Most "Joe Schmoe" consumers don't want or need to know the behind the scenes of aftermarket components. Most don't even know the difference between "Made for" and custom/aftermarket. 

It would be cool to see Maltby as a golf club company create more of a defined separation from Golfworks. Not saying that they need to be separate companies but maybe just have its own separate web site with the only club packs and maybe a couple paired shaft/grip options based on price or optimal pairings. And then if one wanted to choose the "custom shop" option, they could be directed to Golfworks.

So very true. Most "Joe Schmoe" consumers don't want or need to know the behind the scenes of aftermarket components. Most don't even know the difference between "Made for" and custom/aftermarket. 

It would be cool to see Maltby as a golf club company create more of a defined separation from Golfworks. Not saying that they need to be separate companies but maybe just have its own separate web site with the only club packs and maybe a couple paired shaft/grip options based on price or optimal pairings. And then if one wanted to choose the "custom shop" option, they could be directed to Golfworks. 

 

Golfworks recently changed their site (and based on the feedback in their forums, to some dismay) and removed the "premium" pack options and instead now have just their basic packs with the TT Score steel or Maltby MPF graphite shafts. If you want anything different, you are directed to their custom shop.

EDIT: I see they've now added some other options back to their packs.

For reference, the TS1 standard pack with the Score shafts is $450. Unreal deal for the quality. 

If MGS would test these, I would guess the best way to test would be to use the Score shafts. I am slightly surprised that Golfworks/Maltby hasn't jumped on getting into MGS testing already.

@bens197 Did you just size the ferrules with acetone? I still have not found a process I'm in love with. Finding a truly lint-free cloth is harder than I imagined.

It would be great to have some a separate site for just their clubs and take an approach similar to Jason Hiland did with Sub 70 and Hurricane/Diamond Tour Golf. Obviously Sub 70 isn't offered on those sites. This could be a fantastic product to get in peoples hands and market it. Also I read on the forums that they actually had a deal with Golf Galaxy and were going to stock some of their product for fittings but once Dick's bought Golf Galaxy that all fell through.

I think they put the premium paks back up at least for the short term. I saw they disappeared a few weeks back but they are back up now at least TS-1 Paks

I used painters tape around the hosel and shaft and sanded down with fine grit sandpaper. When I felt that the ferrule was close, I used acetone to finish it off.

There are several ways to do it, this worked well for me.

Yesterday I had the chance to play several holes into a 20mph headwind (according to accuweather) for 9 holes. I want to say that I’m beyond the honeymoon period and frankly, this style of iron is brilliantly engineered.

I played the ball down and was hitting 6 irons out of the rough with solid contact. Slight misses maintain their trajectory and path far better than any other style or design I’ve ever played. Far better than a perimeter weighted cast or a forged cavity. They’re small enough to minimize friction through rough and large enough to offer forgiveness on poor contact.

I am not saying these specific irons are the sword in the stone. I am saying if you haven’t tried a player’s distance iron, give them a shot. This is like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

Those ferrules really set it off!

Thanks. BB&FCo add a nice touch and they have endless options. I picked up another 10 and dressed up my Vokey. Adjustments.jpg
