They are CHEAPER & BETTER Than Costco Irons! 

Im a scratch golfer and I got a mixed set of TS3 and TS4 with steel fiber shafts and they are $$$$$. Golfworks has top notch customer service as well. Highly recommend.

Is there a person I can talk to to help me choose which irons are the best for me?

@@smokinjaws3310 ….. They will help you out the best they can with the information you give them, but a actual fitting is the way to go.

​@@smokinjaws3310 If you call Golfworks, one of the options is to talk to a fitter. They have all of the professional knowledge you'd need to help make a decision on which club and specs will suit your game. Additionally, you can order a single club to test out and then have a set built around that club. When I had my first set of Maltbys built years ago, I just went to my local PGATSS and had them do a mock fitting so I could at least know what lengths and lie angles worked for me. Then I took those specs to Golfworks to built my clubs.

If you call the number on the website, you should be able to get someone to help "fit" you into something or at least give you ideas about what's available for your game

Is your name Gabe ? How do you know that

@@JDDD33 Final note, we did not solicit or ask for this review to be done. Stu ordered the clubs and sent them to Gabe on his own. We have no business affiliation with them. Britt Lindsey This is from Maltby site. Britt is the lead that responds to the forum.

​@@JDDD33@MrTkopa is correct. Maltby doesn't participate in these types of reviews and has been very clear about their stance. Gabe and I orchestrated this review because we both wanted to showcase what Maltby is all about as most who follow these reviews have never heard of them.

Again, this whole thread just seems off

@@stevenwetzel1837 why?

As a lifelong DG S300/X100 player, I can attest that the stock Score LT shaft is a great performer.

Have you ever played the TS3 ? was curious how much a difference there is

How's the TS1 IM compare to other irons in their lineup?

​@@jerhomey2020 I have played them. I actually built a set for my dad when he was ready to move on from the KE4 MAX. It's been mentioned that the TS3 might be the best feeling Maltbys ever. As if Miura and Mizuno had a lovechild. I wouldn't disagree either. The TS3's are almost a perfect transition iron that could suit both a mid capper and a single digit. As for looks, the top line is marginally thicker. It's a single piece forged from 1025 carbon and also has co-forged tungsten. No speed goo or maraging face. It does have a progressive cavity weighting through the set so each club is just slightly different from the last in how it looks. I play the bladed TS4 and could easily switch to the TS3's without hesitation. They're SO good!

​@@lkennedy67 the TS1 IM are the only hollow, multi-piece offering from Maltby. The body is 1025 forged and the face is maraging forged and then the speed polymer inside. The rest of the forged clubs are single piece, muli-step forged with tungsten hidden in the toe. Maltby uses 1025 carbon. My understanding is 1025 is the best overall steel for forged clubs. It's the softest available that allows the club to stay somewhat protected and not get ridiculously dinged up.

Also, you cant see it in the fully forged TS3 but there is also tungsten hidden in the toe

Appreciate the clarification. I assumed the screw was additional weight, but I must’ve been wrong.

came to say this lol

I did see the cut out on the website. There was a part of the video that must’ve not made the cut where I talk about how the weight helps move more mass to the bottom. But I still assumed that screw is tungsten? Maybe not though?

@@LetsPlayThru Based on the last photo on the product page, it looks like that screw might be the port where they inject the polymer. It seems to go down into that cavity.

Thanks for pushing me to review these, I'm so glad I did! Definitely the irons to beat for me right now in the players distance category.

Would it fit a high handicapper?

It's still a player's iron above all else to me. I think a lot would depend on the KIND of high handicapper. Some higher handicaps have weaknesses with driving or short game, but their ball-striking with irons is actually pretty good. But if irons/approach play are the weakness, then I would definitely steer that player towards Maltby's TS3 or the KE4 MAX irons, which are both going to be more forgiving. @@kevinneely9119

Thanks so much. I do hope to check those out this year.

Wow, that is incredible. It looks so much like a Mizuno driver from the top. I wonder if they made it??

I have taken a few swings of a TS3 set a friend in my gaggle plays. They are sweet.

So the finish is actually a pearl satin. Similar to what Ping's doing. My TS4's have the same finish and it's really nice looking.

I went to Golfworks and built a club. After shaft selection grip length and shaft selection. It was $136 & change per club. Which still is not bad. What shafts did the clubs have you used? I went with the cheaper temper shaft dynamic gold if I remember right. They also have a charge for doing something with the spline of the shaft. So there are a ton of options to custom build your club. Also it looked like you could build your own club glue the heads on and everything. Pretty cool. Thanks for the review!

​@@bobfisher9452so the shafts that Gabe played in the irons is ultimately their budget shaft through True Temper. It's called the Score LT. The reason it's so inexpensive from my understanding is that they basically have cut a deal with True Temper to purchase in such mass quantities that they're able to sell it extremely inexpensively. I could be wrong on that but I believe it's something I've read around the forums. All in all it is a fantastic shaft and I've seen very high reviews from both newer golfers and even scratch players that use it. Supposedly it's a little higher launching but extremely smooth and stable so definitely worth considering. And you are correct that Golf works has a great multitude of services and options. Golf work's primary purpose is actually to supply club building components, tools, and supplies to many large custom club companies as well as individual club builders so as you can imagine they've got just about everything. Secondarily they started their golf club company and have been around for quite some time but it just works well to have a golf component company running a golf club company.

Welcome to the Maltby brotherhood! 😁

I have a set of TS3’s with steel fiber i95 shafts

I played the STi2 for 2 years and just put together a combo set with KE4 Max 5 & 6 iron and TS1 7 thru G

@AZstu324 and thank you for getting him the irons! Golfworks will notice an uptick in sales 😁

Stu, you’re the man for making all this happen. Tell your dad many thanks from the Let’s Play Thru community. 🙏

I think we knew this before the vid but great job guys and Gabes comments are right on the money.TS1/TS3 player here but I think Imma give these a go as a full set.

@@ughhstuff to us OG Maltby players this isn't anything new right? 😜

Facts! @@AZstu324

It was the score LT in the set. The elevate is very similar with the step pattern just lighter weight than the score.

A little birdie told me that Gabe may have some TS4's coming in early next week...

I really appreciate it. I think we could make it happen in March or April.

​@@LetsPlayThruSounds great! Stu knows where to find me when you're ready if RU-vid doesn't allow for messaging.

It would be hard to source these ones in NZ I think. I would say if you already are familiar with Wilson’s, that’s probably the best route to consistency. Good luck!

Thank you 🙏

My pleasure and yes, we needed another RU-vid review, so it was great to see James out with it today 🙌

You’re going to love them

That would be a great review!

Maltby designs their clubs with a bit of wizardry involved. You'll notice that the hosels are shorter than most other clubs. The hosel is the part of the head that the shaft fits into. This allows them to repurpose mass into other areas. Visually these appear more difficult to play than they really are. On paper they carry the same MOI and CG characteristics as a set of SGI clubs. Technically you could probably get away with playing these at your level and grow your game into them.

I could definitely get used to these ones

If you can get your hands on one to try, I highly recommend it. Thanks for all the support.

You can play both. Even though theyre marketed as players distance theyre actually very forgiving. However, Im a TS3 guy myself +9 HC. The TS3s have a lower center of gravity making it easer to get it up in the air, but TS1-M isnt noticeably more difficult to hit. The MPF of the TS1-m is 728 and the TS3's MPF is 849. According to the designer, you wont be able to tell a significant difference between it as theyre both super Game Improvement. He claims you wont be able to tell a difference in scores within 100 MPF variance and just barely at 200 MPF. As an example the Ping G430 has a MPF of 731. So those are are considered very forgiving and the TS1-m has the same score. The P790s are 642 MPF. In general, even the TS-1Ms are easier to hit than most current GI sets.

I’m so glad to hear you found and enjoy the Heads. Definitely a diamond in the rough! I only thought they sold tennis rackets and damn they were sweet! 🤣

I am trying to find their hierarchy of models. Like super game improvement to the most unforgiving blades.

@@Chris54321 their blade is not unforgiving though!

KE4 Max I reviewed is a super game improvement.

check out their website. you will find all their models there@@Chris54321

@@glenburr6755 ok. But I would like to find their hierarchy of models for lack of a better term. I am a terrible golfer (because I don't play or practice much) but I don't slice. I don't want tons of offset,. Currently my irons are Topflite Tour from maybe 2004?

Funny thing is that Maltby/Golfworks has been around for about a decade longer than Costco. They have just remained silent and unsung while all of these new DTC brands keep popping up. I figured it was time they came out of their cave 😜

Thank you! Cheers!

I wish all clubs were priced like these

Thanks for the recommendation

I have and you should see all the comments where people say that’s not a fair test and that I need to use my driver. 🤣

They're wrong 😂 the point isn't the total score the point is the iron review.

Maltby has a very inclusive forum where the designers of the clubs are very active and accessible to bounce questions off of. Also, their phone customer service is top notch. If you call, you get in touch with a fitter to guide you through the options and how they compare to other clubs on the market.

Btw you should try their KE4 TC Driver. I think you’ll be just as impressed

Have you seen the TS4's? Those are a traditional solid piece and more of a traditional blade. I absolutely love mine! When I get these back from Gabe I'll be able to compare the 2.

I’ll do it 😀

I actually reached out to the head guy over at Golfworks. For a little while, their parent company had put a freeze on international shipping. That freeze was lifted this year so you're now able to order from them

OK, interesting. I bet the import duty into the UK will still be quite pricey from the US though!

@@trevskiw57 yeah unfortunately that's the part that will probably get ya. Unfortunately I have no clue how import taxes work 😖

Wishon too but they are sold differently.

I've liked just about everything Tour Edge puts out. Hoping I can get some of their new stuff to try soon.

He's talking about the Maltby TE irons.

Yeah they're the TT Score LT's. Paired with Royal Linktech full chord grips.
