azstu324 3,477 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 OK so I'm going to ask for a suggestion here.. I'm thinking about either A. Building a TSW 50* to accompany my 56*. My current Gap is a W/S 51* set Gap which works just great but for some reason is about 1" shorter than I think it needs to be. I'm just so damn enamored with the TSW wedge that I would rather just build another one than have the W/S extend 1". OR B. Building a TS-1 3 iron to cover my 220-230 yd gap AND to start using exclusively in place of driver at my exec. I've got a KBS Tour 90 3i shaft that would be a killer match up with this head. My current setup is only utilizing 12 clubs so I've got room to add another. $ permitting, I would easily just do both, but I'm faced with an either/or situation right now. The way I see it, is that I would use both equally at my course as there are 8 par 4's and roughly about 8-9 holes with either a tee or approach 130 yds or less that the 50* would come in handy. To add another twist, I'm hoping to be able to have a full set of TS1-s built by year's end AND I will at some point add the 50* TSW. So either way, I will eventually have both clubs in the bag.. it's just a matter of which one do I want right now? Cheers! 2 Quote SIM Max 7°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X F6 3 Wood 14* / Mitsubishi Diamana Kai'li x5ct XS Epic Flash Hybrid 18* / Mitsubishi Tensei Silver 70g TS-1 3 - P / TT DG 105 (S+) TSW Wedges - 50/6 + 56/12 HB Soft Premier #4 / Golf Pride Pro Only Red Star TP5x Link to post Share on other sites

Always interested in hearing more about the Driving Irons! FYI, the Maltby shafts are wildly underrated! I had a 4 hybrid that I played for a little while and ended up giving to my dad but the shaft in it was absolutely beautiful. Both in terms of looks and performance. If Maltby made a low spin X flex driver shaft, I'd be all over it!. 1 Quote SIM Max 7°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X F6 3 Wood 14* / Mitsubishi Diamana Kai'li x5ct XS Epic Flash Hybrid 18* / Mitsubishi Tensei Silver 70g TS-1 3 - P / TT DG 105 (S+) TSW Wedges - 50/6 + 56/12 HB Soft Premier #4 / Golf Pride Pro Only Red Star TP5x Link to post Share on other sites

Going to see how I do with a mid launch mid spin shaft I normally have a very high laugh and high spin swing. Going to see how I do with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also ordered the ferrules that go with it. @Popeye64 if I might pick your brain, I've got a KBS Tour 90 shaft. It's .370 Parallel tip. Have you had any experience with the "universal" hosel? I've just read that you load up the inside with epoxy to fill the void at the bottom.

How have they been treating you with the X100's? I'm on the fence between those and S300's. I'll be going the full set 3-PW. I'm currently playing DG (not dynalite) XP S300's in my Wilson Staff Tour FG's. The shaft are a little different in that they're a higher flight but weight is similar and I definitely feel like I could go a tad stiffer for some more control. Of course I'll be heading over to PGATSS to compare the 2 before pulling the trigger. the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

jtgavigan 14 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I LOVE the TS1's. Only club I have ever hit and the first contact (5 iron and not loose) made me say "wow, I need these!" I am building some for a friend who hit mine and loved them. To get the same feel as my sensicore shafts, we are doing x100 soft stepped one club and putting in the vibration dampening foam inserts you can buy at Golfworks. Not sure i could tell the difference between them. I would build one with a soft stepped x100 and give it a go. Stiffer, but playable.

jtgavigan 14 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I have played extra stiff shafts for years and often ones that feel "boardy" to others. These (T6 and Avalon 6) are plenty stiff and I never felt that I was going to lose control with a stiff flex with either. Neither one feels boardy either. Robin nailed it with these. 1 Quote Taylormade SIM 9° set at 7.5°, Xcaliber Avalon 6S stiff, tipped 1/2", 17g backweight, 10g adjustable weight, D5, 44.5", Maltby KE4 3 wood, 13.5°, prolaunch red X, 44", D4, 14g weight installed, Maltby KE4 FDI 19° (bent to 18°) and 21° (bent to 22°), Xcaliber Avalon i9 shafts tipped 1/2", D2,Snake Eyes quick strike tour 18° hybrid, Xcaliber T6* TS untipped (soft stepped) Maltby KE4 tour hybrid, 22°, kuro kage black shaft X Maltby TS-1 irons, DG X100 Sensicore, D2, 2° flat, 5-PW Maltby TSW wedges, DG X100 Sensicore, 50°, 54°, 58°, 2° flat Ping TR series Anser 5, 33", 2° flat, 1.5° strong Tp5x pix Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist87 254 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 When the time comes to replace my current irons, I will seriously consider Maltby. I typically play a few clubs from the smaller manufacturer. Just last year I retired my MacGregor wedges and a year or two prior, my MacGregor driver.
