Maltby Sti2 - Old School Mod.
Well, I had a chance to test the STeye2 mod. I used 2 of the blackened discs glued together and centered on
the head as pictured earlier. Mission accomplished. It raised the SW from D.75 to D2.0 and it did
feel more solid. I like a heavy, dense feel in an iron head - and this is much closer. In fact, so close that
I am going to take the plastic wrap off the heads and finish the set. [ Rex: I did find some 1/2" strong
magnets and tried 2 of them in the garage and they tend to wander - so they would work but glue would
be necessary and they may have a different effect than the lead ].
These are heads are as big a bargain as I have seen lately at $20 per (with my mod of course). They
look just about right at address, feel good, and distance is as you would expect from the loft. Just one
caveat - I looked at a new Bridgestone E6 soft hit (40* weather ball) and the 7i head may have had a
'shredding' effect on the ball. I'll post a pic later, but more 'research' is needed. Otherwise ++++.

Took the PW and 6i to the range for a quickie with real golf balls. These babies are the real deal.
If you want a slightly larger looking players iron with forgiveness, they are hard to beat. I've hit
almost all the Maltby irons over the years, and I like the looks, feel and distance as good as any.
I'm going to complete the build and put them in the bag until Spring (at least). Way past expectations.
Forgot to mention that we'll see how the 'finish' holds up to my hacking. 
This is the NEW E6 Soft ball that I mentioned shredding. I believe it was the St(eye)2 7 iron shot that did it.
I'll do the detective work tomorrow as I'll be hitting it again.
Played my first round in 6 weeks. I've been ranging less (1/week) due to the new job, so I had low expectations. The PXG driver was bombing, and the STi2s were solid. Hit 3 stellar 4 irons, that doesn't happen. My putting was able to offset all the good ballstriking and keep my handicap up.
