Iron heads are getting stale

Are there any new offerings coming out? I haven't seen a component iron head that has caught my eye in quite a while. The Maltby TS1 is the last new head...

I was hoping they were MORE money so I wouldn’t think about them. I thought that was pretty good for 4-PW. I have those old project x mess of shafts from Taki that I could get to work if I softstep them and extend the 5 iron an inch. I’ve never built irons.

scotts33 Has anyone ever done a test on golf club feel where the person swinging the club had noise cancelling headphones on? I swear I have hit some clubs I could feel in my hands did not feel good.

Dufferman I had a set of TM M1 irons. When I 1st took them out and hit that 1st shot, it was a great feel & sound...POP, from the 9i. I only played them 1 round, and changed the steel shafts out for graphite. Next round, and all after, I was annoyed with the feel & sound, and got rid of them.
It may not be the heads.

Unsure but Hireko used to have a sound recording of drivers on the specific driver head page. I think there is a direct correlation. I never have heard any golfer say they loved the sound/feel performance of a Nike Sumo. Maybe except for the players with Hands of Stone. 😁

I do notice that shot impact does feel a little different when I don't have my hearing aids in, but if a shot impact stings your hands, I don't think the ears are involved.

You would be the perfect guinea pig to do sound vs. no sound.

This is why there are always the cast vs. forged discussions. Perfect center impacts with a iron where the structure of the metal used in forming the head is different in both. With the use of sound dampening materials in iron heads of today this displays that I am on the right track with sound = feel.

candukid Why no G410 5H to bridge the gap? Those suckers can get flat (anti-left) if you need 'em to.

I carry a 6 hybrid (28) and 6 iron (31). They gap pretty well.

5 years ago the fitter took me from 4h, 5-P to 3h, 5h, 6-P but then after having some lessons with him I ended up with 4-P in the bag and I still go back and forth between 3 utility and 3h. Hybrids make more sense, but I hit irons straighter. I still feel like I just need 6-P (maybe stronger lofted) with a 4h, but I do have several par 3's at my course where I'm regularly hitting 4 or 5 iron.
