smaller boutique brands? what companies do you recommend?

Hey All!

New member here.

Wanted to find out what brands are out there that are making a name for themselves but aren't a major OEM. I am in need of new irons.

I recently bought a forged haywood wedge and love it (will fill the rest on my bag with them soon), considering buying a cody james putter (putters look insane & guy is the next scotty cameron) and am in the market for irons and would love some help.

So far I am looking at new haywood irons, new level 1031 and would love other suggestions so I can finally pull the trigger!

Help a brother out!

golfworks Maltby TS1 and TS2 are both heads that should be on your short list.

thegolferguy1980 Hey, you seemed to have disappeared after coming onto the forum and telling us all about Haywood ... did you pull that trigger? 😉

good thing about the Maltby heads is;

golfworks can build them for you. Or you can find a local club maker to build them for you.

Welcome! 😎

Sub 70 Golf seems like I good company, in my opinion. Pretty decent reviews on some of their stuff by MyGolfSpy.

PXG is boutique, but you'll need a 2nd mortgage. 😁

kelco9

sdandrea1 Yes. At least the TS-1 and 2 only require one mortgage. A quick note for the OP and anyone else fixated on large OEMs or small boutiques: the XV Pros are only $9.95 a head. Just sayin'. 🙂

How true.....unless.....you ae are military, etc. The 0211 iron prices in that case are very competitive
with the other OEMs - actually less expensive. $95 a club fitted (some $ options). Not bad.

Took the words right outta my mouth!! And, Aaron at Value Golf will also build them for you at a reasonable
price!

Typhoon Maybe not just "everyone here." I would truly love to see a pro play rounds with clubs of varying quality (whatever that means -- probably more accurately, price point) to see how much difference it made. I suspect very little, but I may be wrong.

kelco9 I suspect very little, but I may be wrong.

I saw a video Ricky Fowler and a few others dressed up in knickers and playing hickory shafted originals in a a fun event at the Open Championship. They were hitting very pure shots. Those guys can play anything.

Wow....those are some Purty golf clubs. At those prices though, I bet golfers won't be lining up to buy!!
I'll stick with my Hireko Acers!!!
