I recently started playing golf again after a 15 year break.  I am originally from South Dakota, but moved to Southwest Missouri when I was 10.  It was there that I got interested in golf, mainly due to the fact my parents lived right by a golf course, and I went to the same school Payne Stewart had attended (Greenwood Laboratory School).  I eventually became a member of the golf team, but quit when I was 19.  I took the game back up because of a paid absence from work for 6 months, so I needed to find a hobby.

I have been back for 3 years now and am playing in the Golf Channel AMTOUR.  This past summer I was shooting mid 80's at my home course, but towards the fall I began having swing issues, mainly that of not getting hybrid through driver up into the air and developed a nasty hook.  I am going to post some videos of my swing today and hope that I can get some advice.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • 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.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
