Hello fellow Maltby enthusiasts,
I currently own three Maltby iron models (TS3 4-7, TS1-IM 4-7, and TS4 4-GW) and I’m looking to create the optimal mixed set. I really like my TS4 irons from 8-iron down, and I’m even happy with the 7-iron performance (-7 Handicap). However, I find the TS4’s becoming more challenging to hit consistently when I get to the 5-iron territory.
I’m seeking advice on how to best blend these models, specifically:
- Which model would be best for my 4, 5, and 6 irons? (Possibly 7-iron too, though I might just bend my TS4 7-iron strong by a degree?)
 - Would I be better off with just two models in the final set, or could all three work together cohesively?
 - Do headweights vary significantly between these models, and would this affect swing weight consistency?
 - Which specific clubs would benefit most from loft/lie adjustments to ensure proper gapping and consistency?
 
To help with recommendations, I’ve included a detailed specs comparison below:

Hoping you all will geek out with me a little for fun. Should the TE+ enter the mix as well?
