A real compression of choices in the grip world seems to be happening. Hmmm I was about 80% Lamkin/20% Star Sidewinder. I may have to venture into the Royal offerings.
Agree-- these are well over a decade old, but still a great design for better players. I made an ace with the 575mmc in 2014 and won a car. Ironically a Durango.... home of Wishon golf. One of my better players(I coached HS golf for 31 years) went to college and had his set lifted from his truck.. I offered these as a short term replacement... he never would give them back.. He is younger and better than me.. a good home for them. He loves them. He had played a custom fit set of Titleist.
It is a timeless design much like Maltby's TE Forged.
IMO-- Maltby headcovers are GREAT quality. I bought my wife a set of the white ones-- great looking and fit well. Real functional.
I have the hybrid cover on my #4 IST. It is great..
Case in point today- 168 out- ball in rough-- choke down on the #4 IST.. Ball lands on green and runs to the back-- green slopes away.. I am so curious what a full swing #6 IST would do!!
You are, once again, conflicting my plan! LOL I have a "flighted" set of RT waiting for my next Maltby selection. I have the #4 IST.. It is truly a great club... I may go with the new TS-3.5 in #7-GW--
How would the #4- #6 IST Gap?
My opinion FWIW-- THe RT shafts are really good. I play them in a R- flex and I have been S-flex forever. THey stand up to a hard swing well. The S+... I would never try--- I would use them for a younger STRONG golfer.
I am more and more convinced that weight is not as important in iron shafts as I once believed..
I may be alone in that belief.
