Maltby TS2 mini review

I’ve played several rounds with these over the past few months. Pros: Look great Thin-ish sole Great spin Straight on mis-hits Cons: The sound and feel on...

After Jeff Cole telling me how good they were, I finally replaced my KE4 Tour+ with the TS2, and … just WOW. These are the best iron I've ever played. Distance, trajectory, forgiveness, and looks. So happy. Now if I could just putt……

Switch to the claw grip!

colej Done. I am actually hitting the putts on my intended line. This new ball I am playing is apparently allergic to the dark and refuses to go in

I love chasing irons (Ping are my preferred hoe) on ebay, Buzz, etc, but I’ve concluded that my TS2s are exactly what I need. They check every box. Good looking, forgiving (100% agree with posters above, thins still get there), great feel. I’ve stopped fantasizing about my next set and am just enjoying the TS2s.

Jelopster I’ve stopped fantasizing about my next set

How does one go about accomplishing that?

sdandrea1 It’s a 12 Step type of deal

A fantasy you will never experience

Another update.
When I was hitting hosels, I switched back to my big STi irons so I had more club face to use. Same build as the TS2, just different heads. I lost almost a club of distance vs the TS2's. The TS2's are stronger lofts by 1 to 2 degrees depending on the club number. Now I'm back with the TS2s, and the distance is back.

I picked up maybe 1/2 club when I went from the ke4 Tour+ to the ke4 max, even tho the max had much stronger lofts. I picked up >1/2 club when I went to the ts2, despite same/weaker lofts. And the ts2 had higher launch. Same shafts. The ts2 are just awesome

Will you try the TS3 when it comes out? 🤔

Nat

colej
Maybe. But the ts2s are so good not sure I even want to look
I know you will 🙂

After giving the STi irons extended playing time and just yesterday switching back to the TS2, I have to say wow for the TS2. I appreciate the extra height and distance.

I will definitely try a TS3 at some point. I like the TS2, but the feel was a bit disappointing. It could use the foam from my P770 set.....not for speed, but for feel.

The TS2 is poon injected. But the feel is clanky on bad misses.

KCee

DonM The TS2 is poon injected.

It may be injected, but not with poon...maybe just poo? 🤣

Yeah I tend to miss on the toe and I don't expect to hear angels sing then, but it's an obnoxious crack on anything but a pure strike.....which I get maybe 3X a round. I felt similarly about some Mizunos and Callaway irons. The Miura CB and P770 were noticeably sweeter than everything else.

DonM

KCee The Miura CB and P770 were noticeably sweeter than everything else.

On bad strikes? If so, That’s impressive.

Sparky

Oh, it has the poon. Got some on my shoes once. Made them look amazing.

KCee

DonM On bad strikes?

If you played with me you would not be asking this question lol

Yes I know when I hit one off the toe, but it's not jarring. After I bought the P770 I did find that if you strike a shot towards the heel it feels like a good strike, but the distance loss is worse than a toe strike. I like the P770 a lot, but I do miss having just a nice forged cavity back iron like my previous Apex CF 16 Pros.
