Can you give us any updates and more info on the new product releases.
Also if there is not going to be a new DBM finish i may have to grab another PTM black set before they vanish.

Thanks @Britt. Glad the TE model will remain in the line up. Next to the MMB my favourite design. I’m not big on the DBM finishes as others.
Unfortunately I do not see the TE model on the Canadian Golfworks site. The TE does not seem to be available in club packages as well. I’ll have to check in a while.

We will have the DBM’s next year. That will be the only DBM finish iron I can confirm right now. There are 23 sets of PTM Black sets remaining, so if you like that design, you might want to get one. The new forging we are working on could possibly have a DBM finish option. To early to tell. We have learned that the DBM finish works extremely well with certain types of carbon steel and future options will be using those types. Specifically, the DBM finish improves durability on all types of carbon steel, but works better with specific types with regards to adjustability. We will only consider offering the finish on those types moving forward. The new forging does give us the option. The TE’s are staying as well.
I do not like discontinuing the MMB (one of my favorite profiles), but sales have diminished since the TS1 was released. I have a new muscle back forged design in my head and planning on developing, hopefully for 2022. We will see. We also have a new KE4 iron in the works that does have an external adjustable weight. Not sure on the timing on that one.
We have a new Utility coming out, the KE4 tc HYWAY (cross between a fairway and hybrid) in two lofts. 21 and 23 degree lofts with low and rearward cg’s and adjustable weighting. Should be appealing to those who liked #7 woods and #9 woods and should be really easy to hit. Can’t wait to get our first samples to test.
No new drivers for 2021. We just released the STw and M890, basically mid year 2020 and they are doing extremely well. Also, the KE4 TC adjustable is our best selling driver over a not quite two year span, ever. It was the one that replaced my CT250, finally. The IS-O also got some playing time and is my current back-up. We have kicked around the idea of a new CT250, but would be at least 2022.
A revamp of the M Series + Wedges is on the drawing board as well. Also, at least one new model Pure Track putter and a possible alternate finish option to the TSW wedges, which are our best selling wedges this year.
Could be more, could be less. We always have projects in the works. With the current situation, development times are a little difficult to predict, but we are hopeful that the definite ones that are already in the modeling phase will be released by late spring, early summer 2021.
I’ll try to give updates as we move forward. Always appreciate the support, interest, suggestions and feedback.

Britt, thank you for updating us.
The Hyway sounds incredibly intriguing and may be a huge hit as it could bring in the best of both worlds as there certainly is two camps in the iron like vs fairway like hybrids.
On the M+ wedge replacement, I hope the large cross section of available soles carries through as there is a head for anyone in that group.
So glad to see the DBM finish is evolving as I myself am obsessed with its wear and performance attributes.
Good luck moving forward and as always keep feeding the golf junkie masses.
PS. Have you seen how huge the GolfWRX thread grew on the TS-2 heads?
Thanks Popeye. The M+ Wedges will most likely keep all the options and the sole widths. We may make the 1.20 sole widths part of the “Glider” wedge family, and 1.05 and .090 become the new M+ Max Series. Don’t ask me what Max means (Max spin, Max Groove, etc. you get the idea.). Such a classic and great design for a wedge, a simple refresh is due and we think what we are doing will be well received. Love the DBM finish and will continue where it makes sense with the material. I have not seen the thread on WRX. I don’t go there much. I’ll take a look.
Thanks Again for the feedback and support.

Agreed, the hyway is very interesting and I look forward to it.
I must admit I would prefer to see an actual 7w in the KE4 TC line but the hyway sounds more interesting than a straight up hybrid. Will it have a .370 shaft?
Britt. I know you have been tight lipped about designs, pre release lately.. but can you expand on design goals, materials, forging process with the new forging? Any info would be great.
One thing that I do miss from the catalogs is the editorials on the product releases. In the past there would be a page full of discussion on the process and materials used. It was very insightful.
Maltby seems to be the last company with open ties to the public. Its a part of the industry that I believe is lacking.
Thanks for your great work and really look forward to the next release. Gives me more to write about.
And the PTM Chrome too? They just introduced this head a year ago.
Surprised the MMB is being discontinued. Really? My gosh that was the closest thing to a pure blade around. Too bad. I’d thought they’d keep at least one of those models.

I think I also saw some post that says the TE’s will be discontinued/revamped as well.
The TS line must be really selling well. They are some beautiful heads. Was going to go with them but I couldn’t get away from my TE’s. LOVE the thin top line
Since it looks like the TS is outselling projections, and the MMB’s, PTM’s Are being discontinued I wish/hope Britt and the Maltby team will revamp the CT250 driver and add that to their lineup
