ooh, that looks like it would be fun to do shaped punches with (with a lower loft, that is)

a useful club at my home course, a short, tree-heavy course where there isn't much iron play to speak of, just driving and wedgework, bomb-and-gouge style

Goals: Correct slice on driver/long clubs(close!), work on consistent iron distance, practice aiming irons

Not to be the party pooper or anything, but the direction of the grooves really won't matter much. Grooves are there to clear debris and water. We might get a teeny bit more backspin with today's really sharp grooves when they put a bite on the ball, but not much, and the angle of attack relative to those grooves is pretty dramatic.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.

      PGA Tour 6 Rule Changes for 2026

      By iacas · Posted

      One thing in your favor… those who don't know about the Rules much probably aren't reading about them right now. And this situation doesn't happen that often on TV, either.

      Day 8: 2026.01.10 Played eighteen holes, trying to incorporate changes. Much more comfortable with grip, just trying to keep the focus on weight distribution through the swing.
