Maltby
TE Forged
The Maltby TE Forged is a players cavity iron released in 2022, designed for low to mid handicappers (typically 0–12 HCP) who want a players' look at address with a touch more forgiveness than a full blade. The cavity provides perimeter weighting that supports slightly off-centre strikes. The 2022 model's 7-iron is lofted at 35°, maintaining a traditional loft progression that prioritises predictable gapping.

Technology
About the Maltby TE Forged
The Maltby TE Forged features a classic cavity back construction that redistributes weight to the perimeter for improved MOI while maintaining the look and feel preferred by lower-handicap golfers. At impact it delivers a blend of feedback and forgiveness, with a slightly softer sensation than a blade on well-struck shots.
Loft Analysis
The Maltby TE Forged's 7-iron is lofted at 35° — traditional — aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 133–143 yards. The 5-iron (27°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 47° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.

- ✓Low to mid handicappers (0–12 HCP) looking for a refined address profile
- ✓Players who want some perimeter weighting without a game-improvement look
- ✓Improving golfers moving down from a game-improvement set
- ✓Golfers who carry a 7-iron 130–150 yards and want traditional loft gapping
