Is it possible Maltby designs iron heads or complete irons for entities like...say...Maxfli?  The same way Porsche does design work for companies like...say...Volkswagen? Or if it was true, could you...

TS1-IM vs Takomo 101T Comparison by Lets Play Thru

Good video, yes.  If I wasn't already interested in this club, it would get my attention. Thanks for posting it.

Do I have to trim tips if shafts are already senior flex?

Your subject line says "already," as though you are hoping to keep the flex at senior level or even softer.  Already as in "moving downward from regular flex to senior flex."  Forgive me if I've misunderstood...

Flat side of a putter grip and rules of golf

I asked this question last year of an assistant pro at my local pro shop--the head pro/director of golf there builds clubs himself but I didn't ask him--as to whether or not the orientation of the flat...

How hard is it to remove and re-use Super Stroke Putter grips?

Specifically the long 17" grips, although they are new enough that I'll guess there isn't much practical experience with those yet. At costs of $35 and $40 for some of those, it's worth asking, I think. ...

Best shaft for stealth iron heads 6 through GW

Really dumb question, probably, but I've asked them before:  What is a "stealth iron" and am I missing something obvious on the Golfworks website?

Let me clarify what I mean when I say face weighted: I mean "more face weighted than other clubs of that type as a single head casting (or forging)." I'm referring to drivers in this case. The "Super...

I've just had a look, and it doesn't actually have a Golfworks identifier, but at that point in time Golfworks was the only source I ever used. So...I'm still 99.5% sure about that. It's classic plain...

It looks like I was wrong when I guessed it had to be a .370 tip. It's a .355 after all:. Callaway shows three shaft options here: https://www.callawaygolf.com/golf-clubs/iron-sets/irons-2023-gbb.html...

Thick face, front weighted driver heads today. Are there any?

The longest (distance, not length) driver I ever had was a face weighted 9.5 degree Golfworks "Jumbo" driver.  I played it then--it's still shafted with the same shaft today--an EI-70 "Tour X" shaft. ...

Great Big Bertha Iron – Tip 370 / 355?

Mine is not an answer but more an opinion. Most if not all hybrids use a .370 shaft, so unless your GBBI is at least as long as a hybrid and is at least a similar if not identical low loft, it's hard...

hybrid shaft vs. iron shaft

I'm nearly certain it was Britt who was asked about this in the thread at Golfworks where there was a closeout of KuroKage "X stiff" hybrid shafts early this last spring*. [*The shafts were then priced...

MPF for older DBM/TE forged iron heads?

The new TS1 IM lists the MPF at "728," but I see the older DBM/TE's described only as "701+" Is there any specific number for these two that I'm missing?

TE/DBM + future

@ Britt Lindsey:   When you describe the new DBM+ forged irons as "Players Tour Cavity backs" are you teasing that they might have a higher C.G. than do the current DBM's?"  Unless I'm mistaken the...

DBM+ and wedges

I had better ask now, in case you know something I don't:  I have understood the DBM's will be available in the current configuration through this next season.  Is this not the case?

Could you not move each of your current shafts down one club--six down to seven for example--but thus keeping the extra half inch of the previous six? This does assume a .370 parallel tip, each tip trimmed...
