I bought one a few months ago..it is suppose to be square but to me looks closed. I tried multiple setting to try to get the look and feel I wanted but it’s just sitting in the basement right now…lost patience trying to get it to work for me.

Was it mainly a mental/visual thing? Or were you actually sending shots too left? I'm not very visually sensitive to clubs (offset etc) so I can get passed that, but I do have a left miss so would want to avoid a draw biased head.

No it wasn’t a mental thing but it does visually look closed to me. Also about half of the shot I hit ended up left of my target.

I know the TS3 and TS4 get the love for good reason, but the TE+ are very underrated. They have a similar blade length and consistency as the ZXi7, but a thinner top line and are more forgiving. 

 

Ironically, if you put the same brand on the RTZs, you would think the TE+ into RTZs are a combo set.

6 RapidTaper 105 s+ iron shaftd

2 RapidTaper 115 wedge shafts

 

Total price 149 plus shipping 

 

Didn't need but at that price, what the heck.

 

At 19.99 per for the 105 shafts I probably should have bought more.

If you like them you might buy more cause only a few guys will have some left after Robin sells out.

Sadly none left of what I'd buy. I am thinking about I5 L flex tipped an extra inch for use in my M890 heads.

I bought a dozen Rapid Taper 105 stiff ! That is enough to build a set and do some experiments. I currently have the 95 gram Rapid Tapers paired with the KE4 Max head.

It's a nice setup.

Why are the 105 stiffs $19.95 and the 105 regulars $49.95?

That would take a LOT of soft stepping to fit me.

Where’d you find that price for the RT?

I love my TE+.  They are super soft off the face with a nice click.  I can get great spin to hold greens with the 6 iron.  I really enjoy the thin top line.  I know I am playing a game improvement iron, but it doesn't have to look like one.

FWIW: I tested the RT Stiff and couldn’t bring them to life. My guess is I wasn’t fast enough. If the R’s were $19.95, I might take a chance. But not the other way around.

Last two days have been throwing darts with the TS4's. Hard to believe there could be a better iron out there.

 

If only there was a TS4 driver. 🤪

Driver change tomorrow to try to get into the 70's while the irons are on fire. 🔥🔥

I gotta figure out my driver too.  Had 5 pars in a row yesterday and it was mainly due to the irons just not missing.  The TS4 dbms were the best decision I have ever made in golf.  2 rounds the last 2 weeks, 2 strokes off the handicap. I love these irons.

I put a mini driver in the bag this weekend, and results were very promising. Mishits are longer and straighter than they are with a full size driver, and good strikes are nearly the same.

Can't wait to get my TE+ and TS4 combo set tomorrow!!  Great to keep reading the good reviews!

This is why I've frequently employed my 300 Mini.  I keep going to the well with larger sticks, and it never quite works as I think it should.

 

The main reason I don't just stick with the mini is I have an occasional catestrophic miss such that I feel like a smaller clubhead would just about completely miss the ball.  Amusingly, I almost never have those misses with my J's Professional Weapon, which is about 150cc.  

 

Go figure.

 

[ChaosTheory]

TC Pro ICT hybrids.  Any noticeable draw or fade bias?

[DblEgl]

I'm considering a Maltby DBM model again.  For those who have hit/played various DBM models, what is your take on the

feel/sound of them ?  Earlier ones seemed to be a bit too firm/clicky to me and others versus the alternate satin version. 

 

I'm mostly interested in the TS4 or TS3.  Thanks for any  feedback you care to share.

First post here. But I have been a long time lurker. Was fit into P790 and a very very close second was the zxi5. Basically told me to pick which one I thought looked cooler. After looking at pricing and seeing reviews on the ts1im and how many users said they were a more forgiving p790 I was intrigued. Called Golfworks and spoke with Quinn. Sent him over my build sheet from golf galaxy and he was so helpful. I was previously in a set of cobra darkspeed irons in stiff (I was never fit before) and I could not hit them consistently for the life of me. 

 

Ended up with a set in the following:

TS1IM 5-GW  2 degree upright.(Lofts were modified to be directly in-between the p790 and the zxi5) 

KBS tour 130 x standard p790 length

Golfworks red white and blue Farrells because well AMERICA and july 4th is my birthday.

Then I asked them to not install any grips as I LOVE the wedgeguys GLP. IDK why I just do. 

 

These clubs are my first forged clubs and I have to say they have blown me away. Smoothest swinging, forgiving, great CG, club face feel is out of this world!

 

Currently a 13.1 handicap started 4 years ago. 

 

Ball is a 2025 maxfli tour. 

 

Long story short, I am blown away and will continue to be a maltby customer. Their product, price and customer service are all top notch and that seems so rare now a days.

My last several sets of irons were some of the softest around. Srixon Z965, 2015 OnOff Kuro, Bridgestone 220MB.

Now playing the TS4. 

On perfect flushed shots, there's a very, very small difference. Overall, yes, they feel very slightly firmer. But after a couple weeks, I no longer think about it. Flushed shots still feel great. And when I hit a 6 iron 1/2" towards the toe, high on the face, and the result is a high draw that hits the green, I don't really care if it's a little firmer.

And a bonus is that with the slightly harder steel, I haven't seen any bag chatter at all after 15-20 rounds with them

How has it been comboing the TS4/TE+?  I just ordered a TS4 DBM 6I and experimenting with 5H.  If the 5H doesn't work out, I wondered about the TE+ in the 5iron.

Any pictures of both at address to show transition?

They look  nearly identical at address, and perform almost identically. I'll probably end up replacing the TE+ with TS4's after the season is over. I'll post a pic later.

Found a creative solution I thought you all would like. Ordered a TC 5 wood with the maltby pro shaft so I could compare against the Kuro Kage in my 7 wood HA! My current 5 wood is an ancient Nike SQ that hardly gets use anyway. I’ll compare the two TC woods to see which shaft I prefer prior to upgrading my driver. Depending on how much I like one over the other I might replace the shaft in one of the woods (but probably not). 

Received the new 5 wood a few days ago with the Maltby pro shaft and have to say that I really love the club after two nine hole rounds. I do, however, have a predicament. The 5 wood has a nice lofted 235 yard flight. The 7 wood with the kuro kage shaft has a piercing flight that comes off the face like a piss middle and ends up almost the exact same distance. I was scratching my head until I measured them and found out that the 7 wood shaft is actually a half inch LONGER than the 5 wood. When ordering these clubs (fully assembled) from Maltby, I requested standard length. The only modification I made was to increase the 7 wood swing weight to D0. Would this be a reason for them to cut the shaft so long? I believe there is a weight in the shaft of the 7 wood because it has come loose and slides around in the club (kind of annoying but not a huge deal). The 7 wood always felt long but I just figured it to be how newer woods are as my old woods were from the early 2000’s. 
 

Is this longer 7 wood shaft totally on me or should I try to get in touch with golfworks to see if they can help me out? Ideally I’d order a new max driver with the Maltby pro DR shaft and have them send me a new Maltby pro fairway wood shaft cut to the correct 7W length with an adapter installed so I can swap. This would give me matching driver, 5w, and 7W. Alternatively I can swap the shafts between the 7 and 5 as is and just game two different shafts playing 1/2” longer than standard (I’m 6’ so 1/2” shouldn’t make a huge difference). Ultimately I can’t understand why they would build the 7 wood so long when I requested standard length. Pictures attached but note I measured from the top of the hosel adapter. From there to the bottom of the club is 2.75” so I added that to the measurement for final lengths. Thanks all for your help. Maltby makes some great clubs and I am very happy with the performance of these woods!

I’ve seen a lot of talk of these RT shafts here. I haven’t really thought about it…but that’s a good price. 

To any of you who have or do play the 105S, how do they compare to any of the major shafts such as dynamic golds or modus3?

 

I was surprised to see them listed as high launch and that concerns me. As well as the lower weight. 
I currently play fst 125 pro in X and I have no issues hitting the ball high already.

Thank you!  Wow, you really can’t tell the difference between the two.  Wonder if the performance difference is enough to not just go all TS4???

I don't think there's any noticeable performance difference. Technically, the TE+ should be slightly better on thin hits, due to it's slightly  lower CG, but the TS4's are very good on thin shots as well.

I can’t tell the difference. I initially had 5-7 TE+ and moved to all ts4.
