I built a set of these for myself in 06 and have been playing them ever since. The end of last season I lost my 8 iron and was absolutely devastated since you can't get the heads anymore. What a mistake discontinuing this iron. If you can find set used jump on them. Easiest to hit that I've ever played with. Very straight. Terrific distance control. I was ecstatic to discover yesterday, the last time I played, I put the club in my buddies bag. I will probably play this iron until they disintegrate or until I find something I like better which is highly unlikely. They just take a little getting used to because the blade is long.

Customer Service

It's been my experience that Golfworks has some of the best customer service in the business. Call them and they will usually bend over backwards trying to help you. Try that with an OEM company.

I purchased the 5,6, and 7 to try them out in 2007. I loved them but when I tried to buy the rest of the set this year, I found they were discontinued. I did I manage to find the 8 and 9 but I'm still checking e-bay for a wedge.

They're very easy to hit. I learned to play on hardpan many years ago, so I mostly sweep the ball and hit it off the bottom of the club. Since I take very little divot, I seldom hit the sweet spot which is a little higher on the face, but with these irons it doesn't matter much in terms of trajectory or distance. They fly high and far. I don't try to work the ball, especfially with short irons (who does?). I'm happy when it goes where I aim with consistent distance.

It's too bad Maltby stopped selling them. I tried other irons wanting to find a full set but did not find anything comparable. Even Callaway Fusions with their astronomical price tag, didn't work nearly as well for me.

I've bought components from Maltby for a long time and have never had a problem with their quality or delivery. I'm very dubious whether the high prices from the major clubmakers can be justified by performance or quality.

Can you say, "Laser Beam Rocket Launchers?" I puchased a mint set of the Maltby RDM Recoil irons 5-SW from eBay with matching RDM Recoil graphite regular shafts. I have loved past Maltby clubs, finding them to be very forgiving for the average golfer. I had injured my back 2 weeks previously, and this was my first time to swing a club again, so I was taking very low pressure swings and just letting the clubhead do the work. STRAIGHT. ACCURATE. And just as far with a light swing as cranking my normal irons. The face is supposed to be hot, and it is. The heads are a bit on the heavier side, with a thin topline but very full bottom that gives great trajectory with ease. The heads are also a bit oversized, which gives great confidence at address. I often struggle with my 5 iron, but hit this one effortlessly. I have several other outstanding sets of irons like the KZG MC-IIx, but these would have to be one of the best bargains going for the beginning or mid-handicapper. If you want to consistently hit the ball where you aim, these are the ticket. I haven't tested workability yet, but for the average golfer, just hitting it where you want it to go would be enough reason to purchase them. Golfworks still sells the components to my knowledge, so get a clubmaker to whip up a set for you. These may well become my everyday clubs ....
