I was really surprised when I opened it up today. For $40/head it’s worth a shot. 

I can have it built for 75 I'm gonna have to order one.

Here are two better photos from address.  From here, you’ll notice the slight offset a little better.

I guess that's why I didn't notice the offset. The 56° has almost none per the specs. The 58° has the most.



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

It's ridiculously fractional.  I can't see a scenario where any amateur golfer would be hindered.

The more I visit this thread and see those pics I want to order a couple of those to test . But I have too many wedges at the moment.

They do look nice.

You're calling me out, ballplayer!!  OK fine....I had been milling replacing my Callaway MD4s with the MD5s.  After reading thru a few posts here on the site, I was really intrigued on the Maltby M-Series+, so much so that I did a little more research and talked to a couple of my friends who work in the golf retail industry.  Got all positive feedback from them, so at that point I was really leaning.  Had a couple beers Friday night, and apparently I made the purchase!!!  Luckily, the wife wasn't horribly mad at me so I'm still alive to tell the tale.

One of the clubs is on backorder, so from what I'm being told by Golf Works is that the order will ship around mid-June.

The 2 drawbacks with Maltby/Golfworks

1. the ability to pick up a club in the store. Luckily, most folks who play Maltby have a pretty good sense for what's out there and are pretty reliable in their feed back and reviews. 

2. When they have a club produced, it's usually in the hundreds.. and not hundreds of thousands like the big boys. They have to keep a lean production standard as to not have too much excess. When a newer model is released, the predecessors can be limited in production.. Hence the dreaded back order. 

 

If you can be patient and work through some of these "quirks" it will pay off

Let us know if you pull the trigger and what you end up with. 

I haven't completely closed the door on the single wedge idea. I may be considering replacing my set Gap with a 50* or 52*

I get paid friday so I'm gonna order it then. Thinking of 54 since I have a 50, 56, and 60 but haven't decided if I want to do the 54 and 58 or stay 56 and 60 route

Wow. Im more than pleasantly surprised to see they kept a smaller head size yet gave the sole such a relieved leading edge.
The past few years Maltby have embraced the 4 way or relieved sole all across the product line. It works for so many players yet still appeals to the better player by keeping a small profile.
The MG Tour can be brutal in turf contact as its a sharp leading edge. These look like they will laugh at poor turf conditions.
These are exactly what I would be looking for in a wedge. Had I not just reloaded with the M+ 52 56 I would be all over these.

Thanks @Popeye64! I knew you would have some wisdom to impart  

Being a long-time Arizona resident, i'm quite familiar with $#!t turf and poor conditions. So far, I haven't encountered anything that this club can't manage well. I might be an anomaly but I carry 2 56* wedges and am still conforming. My Bridgestone Tour B XW-1 is now officially my bruiser wedge.. for stuff like hard waste area patches or the notorious AZ gravel pits disguised as normal sand traps.

I and my clubs are both glad we don't have much of that going on in Michigan!

They look pretty sexy in the bag also

I like your style. Bag/clubs are very nice.

Man the TS lineup is just good looking across the board! So cohesive and clean!

You able to get those wedges out for a spin?

[Popeye64 541]

Awesome looking bag!

I just got done ordering a 54ﾟ built club from Maltby for 65.  I'm going to try the 54 as a possible switch from 56 to help improve my gaps as my A wedge is 50 and I was using 56 and 60

[Popeye64 541]

This is the M+. I can see design cues from this unto the TSW. Though the TSW has an even more pronounced relieved leading edge so that its more of a V sole.
I couldn't wait for the TSW to be released but these have filled in my gaps nicely.
