colej hopefully the TS2 replacement has less offset!

      Have you tried the TS1? Not sure what the final specs on the TS3 or TS4 will be. If I see anything I’ll post it.

          colej had a 7i demo. Liked it but the sole relief on the TS2 suited me better. Tried hard to make the TS2 work but I could not hit a fade to save my life, trying several different shafts. I think they are just too low spin for me.

            colej Good looking club heads, but I’m going to stick to my PTMs. I’ve tested the TS1 & TS2 & know that these are good performing designs - would expect the TS3 & TS4 to be as good or better!

              Wishon gets a lot of kudos for his club design work but I think we should talk about Britt more. I think he's been the prime designed at GW for quite some time and has brought out some great, playable iron designs. And to my eye his design aesthetic is way better than Wishons in most cases.

                bad9 I tend to agree with you. Wishon designs did look cleaner (graphics) for the most part, but didn't always look as good at address as the GW irons IMO. Many times the blade length looked a bit too long or short and the offset wasn't blended in well.

                I loved the 560MC irons performance and they looked great in the bag, but never quite right at address. Same with the 771CSI. I'm nitpicking of course, but I think if Britt had tweaked Tom's designs that would have been perfection.

                    For me most wishons (not counting the wishon 979) feel much firmer at impact. Maybe a difference in VCOG between wishon and Maltby?

                        I can't say I noticed that until you mentioned it, but I always did think Maltby cast irons generally had a softer feel than many other mfrs cast heads. Didn't know if it was design (cavity) or heat treatment.

                        Maltby did seem to go for a lower VCoG as that seemed to take priority for their MPF. I felt like the last 10 years they have made more iron designs just as forgiving without a super high MPF #. Maybe Britt was freed up from MPF constraints?

                            In the past it was get that MPF as high as you could get it for that design. Even if it was a true forged cavity. They always seemed to go; medium blade length, short hosel, low VCOG. Basically the callaway model for years.

                              Those look fantastic. I can't wait to see specs and an ETA. I was thinking of something new to start 2022 but I might hold off until I know more about these.

                              I don't and never will get all the hubbub about these. Just an average cavity back iron to me.

                                How big is the market for component blades???? There are component and off brand blades coming out of the woodwork. I just can't see many scratch type playas saying yeah, I got to get me those Maltby blades. I can't wait to show them to the other guys at the club.

                                I say this as a guy who is playing Maltby irons, and they might be the best iron I've ever owned.

                                  I wonder if the blade thing is more of a self-indulgence by the designers/owners of some of these companies. Maybe they get tired of designing and selling clubs over and over again for 20 handicappers, and they want to make something that makes them feel proud. Which would be fine, it's their company after all.

                                  I thought I heard the TS2 was one of the best sellers golfworks has ever had. Maybe they’re hoping to capture more of that. I took lead tape to the cavity of mine and completely covered the badge. I like the plain simple look.
