Hello,
I was just wondering is there any specific Maltby iron heads that are good for softer condition courses? I golf in Wisconsin and most of the time the grass is usually soft and wet rather than firm.

Generally wider soles can be helpful in softer turf conditions. The M980 is our widest sole iron. The TS3.5 is the next widest and is a really good iron. The STi2 is a moderately wider sole and the KE4 Max iron has a progressive sole width and is probably our most forgiving overall iron. I would say look at the TS3.5 for the widest sole with modern specs. If you are a beginner, have a slower clubhead speed or have issues with trajectory, then the M980 would probably be the one to try.

Generally I would say not to weaken the lofts to increase the bounce. Wider soles do not need a bigger bounce number. The effective bounce of the wider soles should be enough. Wider soles play like they have more bounce simply due to the width.
Definitely try them first. You can always weaken them, but I really don’t think yo will need to.

Hello Britt,
Thank you for giving club head recommendations as I’ll definitely be doing more research on those heads. Kind of just like a follow up question, should I weaken the loft to add more bounce to these wider soles for better turf interaction or will that hurt the purpose of the club?
