- Britt, I own a set of custom XC3 Maxfli’s that you guys built for me, last spring… and I have hit the XC 2’s. My question… Would you say the Maltby TS3’s are of a profile in between these two? Also, I believe the materials used in the club-heads used are the same, correct? How about the finish, the TC3’s appear more glossy.
- Thanks… going to ORDER & purchase a new set of something next week, just want to ask about these.
i believe the TS3 had dimensions that fall between the xc2 & xc3 maxfli models.
as for the lofts, I already knew that info… I’m asking about sole & top line thickness and profiles.
I think the external dimensions minus the lofts/bounce are the same. According to everything I have read, mostly Britt’s comments…….
XC2 is based on the TS3. Dicks/GG changed the back of the clubs and then Golfworks changed the internal weighting to get everything back to where it needed to be.
There is a post on reddit where someone shows photos comparing the XC2, XC3 and the TS3. In the photo the TS3 sole and top line looks just like the XC2. The poster says they are basically the same. He hits all 3 clubs and likes the XC2 the most. Says it feels a little better than the TS3.
Go to reddit and search for “Maxfli XC2 and XC3 vs Maltby TS3”.
Based on comments from this reddit post, and others from people that have hit both TS3 and the XC2, as well as Britt’s comments on the construction of the XC2… I think that the XC2 in some ways could be considered a minor upgrade to the TS3. Due to Dicks/GG specs (back of club and the lofts), it might not be the exact upgrade that Golfworks would have built. Some may not like the lofts, so that would be a downgrade for them. I do not think that there is really any significant difference between the XC2 and TS3.
I just finished doing a fair amount of research on these clubs before buying XC2’s a few weeks ago. I Never hit the TS3 irons, so cannot give you comparisons. I am sure on Monday Britt will chime in.
good info.. i reviewed that Reddit posting.
from what I see & hear… i will not be able to detect any difference in the numbers between my xc3’s and the TS3… only that my xc3 may feel slightly better. (which is hard to beat, because they feel great).
to me the most impressive thing about these maxfli’s is the finish & soles. Played mine regularly for the past 17 months and the soles look unscathed, and basically like new. amazing really.
… and oddly .. dicks just RAISED the prices on both Maxfli Sets! Odd considering they have inventory with dust on them and because they do NOT market them in the stores whatsoever… useually stuck in a corner display with little to zero signage!
Must be Christmas Greed causing them to raise prices.
From what I understand about the way the Maxfli’s were made. I think the XC2 is in between the TS3 and XC3. Both due to what Britt has said about the construction and the loft of the Irons. The XC2 and XC3 have the same lofts across all of the irons. The TS3 are a few degrees 1-1.5 degrees weaker than the Maxfli irons.
