Maltby M980 Irons
The M980 puts its weight low and deep behind a wide sole, so slower swings get the ball up easily and off-center hits still fly straight. Generous lofts and progressive offset keep every club easy to launch, from the 5-iron to the sand wedge.

Description
If your swing has slowed down, or it never was fast, the hardest part of iron play is simply getting the ball in the air. Low shots run out of steam, come up short, and the long irons start to feel like a lost cause. The Maltby M980 is an ultra game improvement iron made for exactly that golfer. Its center of gravity sits very low and deep in the head, and the lofts are a touch weaker than most super game improvement sets, so shots climb quickly and land softly instead of running through the green.
The head is slightly longer from heel to toe, which spreads the weight out and keeps the face stable when contact drifts toward the toe or heel. A variable-thickness face helps protect ball speed on those mishits. Offset is progressive, with more in the 5 and 6 irons to help square the face and less in the scoring clubs for cleaner aim, and a wide sole with generous bounce keeps heavy swings from digging.
It's a forgiving, easy-launching set finished in a bright mirror polish, with a matching sand wedge to round out the short game. Maltby KE4 TC Pro hybrids are available to replace the 5 and 6 irons, or to add a #4 hybrid to the top of the set.
