Yes, no. In that order.

They're in the second tier of reputable club makers.

It’s a good site for information and club making parts/tools. I’ve built up a few iron sets but have never used their heads. Some folks here on TST have.

I've used Maltby for components. They actually aren't my favorite. I prefer these guys. 

GigaGolf Custom Golf Clubs

GigaGolf sells custom golf clubs at factory-direct pricing with our 30 day play guarantee. Most orders ship within 48 business hours.

 

Back in the day they were known as Dynacraft. At least I think they were. I think Giga bought them out. But Dynacraft branded stuff is still sold here. So, I'm not really sure how all the relationships work out. Just know there's a lot of inbreeding in the club component world.

Dynacraft Golf features leading technology golf heads. Dynacraft golf heads consistently amaze with high quality, cutting-edge designs that look as good as they perform.…

I still have a set of these irons. dynacraft-prophet-mb_1.jpg.9f1e4ce8af006972eff2418b08ac6217.jpg

They seem as good as anything. Mine are pretty beat up. But they have great shafts and they were custom fit to me. I still have them because to be honest club component companies like this have almost no trade value. My play-it-again-sports wouldn't even give me 20 bucks for the set. 

What I really like about these companies is that you can tinker without spending a ton. 

I'm sure you can build up a great set from any of these companies. There are a lot of ways to get great clubs. Of course you probably already realize it's the archer not the arrow.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Beware of old dudes with old clubs and new grips.

I've been using Maltby stuff for 20 years or so.  No complaints.  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

There is no better club on a cost basis than the STi2. When healthy I play to an honest 12 mostly because I putt like a blind man in the dark and several guys I have played with who are better than I am use those. I swing the KE4 Tour+ because it’s easier to swing weight and a bit more stable on toe shots. Their current line up is outstanding with the new KE4 Max being the newest hit. I haven’t tried it yet but it has almost universally good reviews.

I have a handed down to me set of 2011 callaway razr x irons with graphite shafts that were cut down for a kid but extended back to length . Most likely stiffened up shafts . I need to get into newer set with graphite senior flex shafts. With arthritis and such I tend to stay slower swings and need the dampening for the vibration.  .

The Maltby M890 shaft is a good choice for slower swing speeds and is only $18. The STi2 with the MPF shaft is available at a ridiculous low price but the MPF generally plays a bit stiff to flex. The Graphite Design GTech is also a good choice as is the Kuro Kage. 
If you call them the CS people can direct you, the website is being updated, the club pak and custom shop are not back up yet.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
