It appears that the MMB-17 has the closest specs to the F2 – same lofts, same offsets. The sole widths and cog location are slightly different. If those factors are more important, then actually the non-Forged Tour+ has more similar numbers there.
I’ve hit both and can recommend each one. The Tour+ doesn’t have a 3 iron, but honestly, it feels as smooth as most forged clubs I’ve hit. Really! I have a set of them with the XCaliber Tour X Stiff flex shaft and they’re sweet! Here’s the link: https://www.golfworks.com/maltby-ke4-tour-iron-heads/p/ma0261/

Hope this helps! Michael
Thanks Mike. For some reason the Tour+ feel rather harsh to me. I might pop a graphite shaft in one of them and take it for a spin. I too had the Excalibre’s in a forged and it was wonderful. Perhaps the graphite will settle the feel down a bit. The Tour + certainly has the reviews – I had a Project steel shaft in them and didn’t have the forged feel for me at least.
Thanks for the recommendations. I do have a full set of them MMB – so I’m waiting for the Maltby Pro Series shafts. I do hope the feel would improve in the Tour+ – wonderful looking club.
As an evolution in engineering the brand new TS-1 would be the equivalent of the F2. The forged hollow F2 was a head of it’s time. The TS-1 is the F2 to a whole other level. Hollow body with the polymer filling. Should be out in a week. Do your self a favor and build one.
