- The folks at Golfworks have always done a great job making / designing golf clubs. This time we get to test the new STi2 iron. See the performance this the lefty offering provides. We also get to hear from Britt Lindsey the VP of the Technical section of the Golfworks. Oh, and you can build this one.

I was glad to see this because I'm considering getting these irons. I hit the Sti pretty good in a recent fitting session and am waiting now to go back and see the STi2. Thanks, Jim.
Recently built a set of STi2’s with True Temper Score LT shafts trimmed halfway between regular and stiff flex. Absolutely love them. They are everything I want in a club. Distance, launch, spin, workability, looks, and feel are all on point. These are quality components at an amazing price.
If you’re watching this video, it’s probably because you are wondering if these irons are as good as something from a big name company. The short answer is yes. I have no doubt if these irons had a different named stamped on the bottom, they would easily sell for over $1000. In fact, if you look at the newest Calloway Apex irons, they look a lot like the STi2. Most people don’t know it, because Maltby doesn’t really spend huge dollars advertising, but they have designed and patented much of the tech that exists in modern golf clubs.
It would be nice if Golfworks could work out some deal with Golf Galaxy where they could do fittings for Maltby on their products. I think when people test these clubs they will realize how just how good they look and feel at the fraction of the price of the other manufacturers. I thought at one time they were working together on some things. Just a thought.
When my local Golf Galaxy opened like a dozen years ago, they actually stocked some of the Golfworks heads right on the display with all the grips and grip tape and grip solvent, shaft extensions, etc. I also wish they would stock the Golfworks heads so you could get a really good look at the leading edge of the irons and the amount of camber on the soles. It’s hard to determine exactly what the leading edge in particular is like just from pictures. I wish someone would do a video on the newer Golfworks KE4 Max irons.
These are fantastic irons. I built a set with Dynamic Gold S300’s. One of the most consistent set of irons I’ve ever played. Extremely forgiving.
I made and play a set of the TS1 and these are, in my opinion, on par with every taylor made club ever owned at 1/3 the price. Love this company and the clubs!!!!
Started playing Maltby TE Forged this year. Love them. Thin topline. Great turf interaction. Fantastic spin. Super forgiving. Buttery feel. Play them (3-GW) with KBS Tour FLT. Can't say enough good things.
These are not forged irons that he is reviewing.
I play Maltby TE Irons with a Recoil 80 shaft. Love them!
Awesome review. Nice to get a review of a club we can actually build ourselves. Now, if only we could buy an Accra shaft...
Nice review, Jim. I did a review of this iron on my channel not too long ago, and am already building sets. Quality stuff and very affordable. Also great to hear Britt talk about the design process. I was out there for a school when the TS-1 & 2 prototypes were being tested, and was impressed by how detailed the process is when Britt described it to the class.
I'm so sick of you because you're the only person in the world that does reviews for Maltby clubs. Your family, employee or a paid spokesperson.
@@termides I wish! I pay for everything I review. But I am a fan of Golfworks products, and their training/schools as well. Happy to hear suggestions on how to make my reviews more interesting.
Just hit the demo 7i that I put together. No launch monitor and limited flight range balls. But hit some really good shots and bad shots that felt normal and still flew to target. Especially off the toe. Put a .355 tip s300 playing 37 1/4". Liked it so much I ordered the rest for a 5-gw set. Ball flight is very high. Even with the s300. Will have to get on a monitor and dial in the lofts.
Look at Webb Simpson.. Good enough to use long irons but opts to carry two hybrids and even a 5 wood i believe.
Great review and interview! These are definitely on my list for my next irons
Brit is a great guy and fantastic player. I always enjoy talking to him when I’m at GW.
Thanks! Very interesting hearing about their design/production process.
If they can make the next version of these look like Takomo’s or p790’s you have an absolute winner!
Great interview. Thanks from the Canadian Prairies!
I love these interviews!
Awesome content. Cool looking club. Great swing.
Got a set of these, love them. Thinking about the STw driver or the KE4 TC driver next
Did you ever pull the trigger? I'm trying to decide between the two as well
No I didn’t, looking for used one of either
I'm also left-handed and just getting back into golf after a 4 year hiatus due to shoulder issues . I'm ready to start golfing. My handicap 😂 was 22 at best. Actually my handicap was a crappy girlfriend and her bad attitude for golf. LOL. I still have the old clubs she is gone. Anyways I'm ethered-up up on buying a new set of irons. Honestly I have no clue what my swing speed is . Which of their available models for lefties would you suggest. I have those Vfoil MCs you mentioned but they just are too big to look at and beat to a pulp. LOL And what about a driver ? What is a good option.? Thanks for the cool video. Great insight into the world of club design. I will check out the website.
Great video. Love hearing you all talk tech.
Question. I play in dry So California and use a set that might have too much bounce. Which of the Maltby heads would you recommend for a picker of the ball on dry courses. Thanks and keep em coming.
Just bought these. Looking forward to hitting them.
Any word on when they’re new line is coming out to replace the TE Forged?
HI Jim .... A slightly off topic question but why wont club manufactures list the C.O.R. of their clubs. Isn't C.O.R. one of the most true measures of a clubs performance capabilities?
Because there is a maximum limit to COR. Most if not all makers max it out
How do custom brands like this compare to the major OEM brands (ping, srixon, TM)? Is it the same technology or would you find them less advanced? sorry, newbie question
What would you say is a good handicap for these? I am thinking about building some irons for my father-in-law. He is about a 25 handicap. What Maltby irons would you suggest for him?
Was looking at these for a golfer that has a slower swing speed and doesn’t hit it super high and is a high handicap. Are these super game improvement enough? He is playing old callaway Bertha irons from early 2000s currently
they are in the category. I would take a look at the Wilson Launch Pads.
There are so few reviews of these component clubs and I’m torn between these and and something like a Wilson Staff C-200 set because I’m on a budget. Will Maltby clubs perform as good as bigger OEM clubs?
for certain, The C300 was one of my favs,
When did Heisenberg start selling golf clubs?
Hey what is the song playing at the beginning of this video?
i dunno my son made the intro from samples from what I think is audio jungle a royality free site. Although its not free if you have to pay for it i guess
Thanks for the review. I'm leaning toward these for my next set, but I have a question. Do you think these would work for a one length set?
good club just not for a 1 length.
The weight progression of the STi2 will not work well for a single length set. The heads for a single length set are designed to all weigh the same. Heads for conventional irons are progressively heavier (3-PW) so as the shafts get shorter, the swing weight will stay the same.
For that reason, I would avoid using conventional heads for a single length set.
Good partner as in RUGER?
How do you get s proper fix
can't we all build any irons we want??
not just these🤯
Not if you want to build new Callaway’s or other OEMs. ....... oh but I can
Try building your clubs with graphite shafts, trends are leaving steel shafts.
Just starting to look at these component companies. What would these irons compare to with the oem’s. G410, 919hm?
whatever the game improvement line would be
I am a single digit handicap that needs forgiveness. I don’t like chunky irons or a lot of offset (Ping G410 have too much for my liking). Do u think these would appeal to me? Thx.
they are bigger with less ofset. Also consider the TS line
You never did mention what the swing weight was. If so I missed it then.
I probably did not mention it. THe heads are standard and at standard length with Graphite I am guessing it was about D-0 to a C-8
Hey buddy I got a question for ya, after 15 years of punishment from golf I finnally realized I can only hit a deep face driver, currently I'm hitting FT5, I have a flat swing only 85 mph and swing to put the sweet spot on the club to get my 230-240 yd drives, so I brought a low cost Cleveland XL Clubhead only that glues in, now the hunt is on for a Used Shaft 335 tip for that baby, any shaft suggestions.
Not a used shaft. Too many variables. Get a hold of
Golfworks they will certain ya out
I use that clubhead, but I have a much higher swing speed, with Grafalloy Pro Launch Red. The red and blue are both inexpensive and very good shafts.
I'm going between these and the ts2 I'm a 20 handicap with a iron swing speed in the 90's what would you recommend currently play burner plus irons
the ST2
Did you by chance make a purchase?? I also am about a 20 handicapper with burner plus irons. I love the idea of the ts2's but have a sneaking suspicion the STi2 will beat better fit.
@@JeffsP13 I did get the ts2 I really like them probably would have had more forgiveness from the st2 but liked the ts2 look so much
@@walnutz03 wow thanks for the quick reply! I think I'd kick myself for not getting the ts2's, especially because I'm not one to get clubs very often. Definitely something to think about.
What model is that driver head you showed?
The ST2 wood , it’s next
acces denied from europe...
There used to be a golfworks Europe, I know the internet laws there make it tough for you
Yeah, intro is too long and then you go on a rant about liking your video, etc. Very cheesey. If we like it, we'll respond. Save all the begging. It's just annoying.
Grow up dude, why are you such a needy (...) over something so trivial? Why don't you go make a channel if you're the expert?
@@crazybarryfam I know it seems harsh but it's true. He has great content and it speaks for itself. The long intro and the social media comments are rookie mistakes.
I'm also left-handed and just getting back into golf after a 4 year hiatus due to shoulder issues . I'm ready to start golfing. My handicap 😂 was 22 at best.
