As component companies go Maltby has a very good reputation for quality components. Back when components were popular with many club builders they were one of the top three companies. You can not go wrong with their product. 

Who were the other two component companies in the top 3, and are they still around?

Besides Maltby, Golf Smith, Wishon golf, Dynacraft. Golfsmith when Tom Wishon was head designer until the company was sold and Tom started his own business. Dynacraft until the business started to slow down. They were bought by Roger Maltby. At least when I was building clubs these were the companies I dealt with the most. Alpha was a late comer but was a quality company. 

Once Golf Smith was sold they converted to almost all OEM companies. Tom Wishon  retired and sold to a group in England although their products are still available from local companies. So in a sense all three are now no longer in the top three. I have to say Golf  Works/Maltby is probably the best quality component company out there. This does not include some OEM who now produce heads for the component builders.

I attended a GolfWorks school in 2012, and since then I have dealt with them mostly on golf shafts.

The GW/Maltby telephone service people are well-versed in their products. They give especially good info on the different shaft models and how they compare with each other.

If you have a question, call them on phone and talk to them. Hear for yourself.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I received my irons and have since played a few rounds with them. Not only are they great looking but I didn’t have any significant adjustment period.

Actually, I have purchased the PAKS in all cases.  Now, when I get them, I generally remove their and put on my preferred grips, as there is no choice when buying a PAK.   As I've had a club head fly off when doing my own assembly, I think it's better for me to buy them already assembled.  I'm happy with the shafts they use.

How are the KE4’s holding up? 

Im trying to decide which head to buy. 

Funny you ask. I was just posting a review. They are great. Very forgiving and they look good as well. Just make sure you get a shaft that complements your game. Highly recommended.

I did a driver fitting about a year ago, tried numerous name brand and component heads, ended up with the Maltby KE4 head, gained quite a bit of distance over my old Callaway and Taylor Made drivers, very happy and still using it.

Great!

i have a set of DG105’s I’m probably going to use even though I will need to add 3/4” to them I believe. I’ve played Dynamic Gold for since before there was a Gold, lol

The KE4 4 wood is amazing. I am considering a KE4 #3 hybrid head and swapping out my current head for it.

I recently went back to my first set of irons that I built back in the late 80's. They're Golfsmith Tour Model IV (similar to the Ping Eye 2).

I've been hitting much better iron shots with them but had to make a 3 deg. decrease in loft adjustment due to the fact that I normally hit a high ball, and the stock loft back then was greater than today's irons.

The Golfsmith was a very good component company back in the day, so I can only say my experience with component club making has been positive, if that helps.

I've been playing the Maltby TE's for about 3-4 years now and they're the best irons I've ever played.

 

Beware of old dudes with old clubs and new grips.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
