Maltby vs big name companies

Recommended Posts

Did a quick goggle search regarding the "M" groves by Maltby and only found what they are supposed to look like , but nothing related to what they are supposed to provide. Anybody care to enlighten on the attribute(s) of these grooves? Appreciate responses..........

I don't believe that the 'M' groove is legal any more. What they do now is an 'MG' or a micro groove. Which are smaller in depth but more numerous. Spin wise I love how they perform. The wedges work as well as anything available, but are 1/3 the price. Plus that DBM finish allows the grooves to retain the milling sharpness with out a chrome coating how ever thin it may be. That finish is very strong so it leaves you with a wedge that will last a long time.

My 60° wedge is 2 seasons old and I have seen no degrade in spin.

I find I get a bit more spin with the DBM Forged with the micro grooves compared to my other iron sets. But it could be in part to the shafts. I play px 6.5 flighted in the DBM and s300 on most of my other sets. The DBM finish though is simply outstanding. It's part of the forging process so there's no way to wear it out.

First impressions of the UFW are very good. This club could be hit from any lie. I tried it on tight lies and in longer grass (not rough) results were good on all shots.

 

Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sound. It's not horrible but I like it more muted. I'll probably add more hot melt to it and switch the weight out to a lighter one.

 

Any further thoughts on the UFW Jeff?

It's more likely the low Actual Vertical COG. It has one of, if not the lowest COG of any current players iron....or any iron for that matter

I have a set of dbm's shafted up with project x lz's and love them. I've played everything from blades to game improvement and these seem to have an amazing blend of playability and forgiveness all in a players look. The club builder I use is shafting up a 3 iron with a steelfiber i80. Can't recommend these enough!

Just picked up a KE-4 Tour hybrid "Premium Pack" with the Kuro Kage for $64.99 ( https://www.golfwork...n/p/PMA0217HBP/ ) as I'd recently talked myself into a hybrid upgrade.

 

This follows hitting all the new stuff at PGA SS, Dick's, and Edwin Watts & coming away underwhelmed. Figured I'd try it & donate it to the First Tee if things didn't work out. Heck, it's not much more than a box of Pro V's.

 

While still on the honeymoon, I am very impressed; consistent distance, very good from difficult lies, solid feel, and anti-left.

Ordered a set of the limited mmb in black to make a combo set. 7-pw in mmb should knock that trajectory down a bit.
What are your thoughts.on the DBM mmbs??

 

I haven't had the chance to play them yet, but will update once I get at least 3 rounds in with them.

I'll give some input. Ive played mp5s since their release. Switched to the dbm's in June and I've been blown away! A little longer from heel to toe is the only thing I would say negative but I don't mind as it inspires confidence. Iron play has always been suspect with me and these have elevated my game and confidence more. Forgiveness, very little offset, players look and great trajectory. Project x lz's in 4-pw and a steelfiber in the 3 iron. Handicap is a +1 if it matters. Hope this helps.

I was looking for some input on the MMB-black. I'm a really big fan of the DBM irons, I just tend to hit them a little bit too high

I'm about to have a little fun with some Maltbys - my ex-wife always said she wanted to play golf...so I got her the 15 degree driver and matching FW and hybrid from the L-Tech line. They sitting in the spare room as clean as the day they arrived now.

 

Just out of curiosity, I took that driver to the range this morning and hit it a few times, L-flex shaft and that high loft meant I hit a lot of balloon-balls, but I can say that it has a reasonably hot face. I also happen to have an Aldila VS Proto shaft laying around, so I am thinking that 15 degree driver would make a fun 'thriver' for me.

 

Will probably stick it in there over the weekend and see how it plays....

 

I may tip the driver shaft and throw that in the 3W and tip the 3W shaft and throw that in the hybrid just for the hell of it too...but one at a time, project thriver first!

Yeah, those are great pics, looking to see if anyone has compared to ping line.

I just moved my I e1's and kept the mmb's. Pings felt a little clunky compared to the mmb's. Obviously, my opinion.

 

I’m thinking dbm vs mmb but can’t decide.

I like the TE/dbm in the 3&4, mmb the rest of the way.

Although the DBM feel better I can't over look my accuracy and distance control of the MMB. Plus there really is no loss of forgiveness. I really recommend building one of each and tinker.
