I have found after using the cg1s that if you enjoy not being lied too these clubs are for you. They have a great feel when struck consistently in the middle of the face. But if you are having a bad ballstriking day you will definitely know about it. The company lofts are a bit different, but all in all these clubs have made me the golfer I am today. They take some getting used to but reward great ballstriking with a soft feel at impact and remarkable shot stopping ability. Also these clubs handle well under wear and tear unlike some blades out there. After a while you should know if you hit the ball in the middle more times than not because it WILL show from there youll know if they are for you or not.

Hey. Does anyone know what the difference between the regular cg1 and the new cg1 black pearl? I have been trying to figure it out, but without succes.

Thanks

Waited 2 months after purchase to write my review. Best blades in the market hands down. Vastly superior to Nike Forged blades and easier to hit than MP-33s. It does take some time to get used to the lofts though. You feel like a ton of distance has been lost, but in reality I think I have gained a little. Far and away best feel of any golf club I have ever hit. I let all my callaway toting friends hit my irons and they are just blown away. Great Clubs, I am thinking of buying another set so that when this set wear's out I can just unwrap the new set and be off and running.

I counted the sets that I have played and it was 12. CG1 Black Pearls are so far the best. I just traded my Cobra Carbon CB which where great, but something kept tell me to get the CG1s. Fantastic clubs. Very accurate, just aim and swing. However, I'm still getting use to the longer irons 5 & 6. My 3 & 4 irons are hybrids. I've only played 3ea 9 holes since getting these, but i've shot 38, and 2 40s.

These clubs are more difficult to hit than I first expected. I read many reviews on this post how forgiving they are but I found that not to be the truth. I would hit a horrible shot and then look at the club face and find it was only slightly off-center. On the plus, these clubs have made me a better golfer. I don't have money to buy a new set so I had to spend some serious time on the range and as a result I now hit a pretty nice ball with these sticks. I play a natural fade, but am able to hit a draw whenever I feel like it. A nice option I have never had before. Lost five yards with each club but mostly due to change in company lofts.

These are probably the best blades out there.They are so easy to work and when you hit them out of the middle they are pure.You have to be a decent ball striker to hit these though as the sweetspot is so small.On miss hits you can lose up to 20 meters distance.On well struck shots you also lose about 5 meters distance with these than cavity backs but overall the distance loss is worth it because it makes up in accuracy.Also they seem to get more backspin than other blades i've tried.I have hit 695mb's before and these are way better as they are easier to work and also they have a better ball flight, the clevelands have a more penetrating ball flight but the 695's seem to go straight up.I would reccommend these irons to anyone who is a decent golfer.

Wow! I recently sold my Ping S-59's on Ebay and bought a set of Macgregor M675, changed the shafts to Rifle shafts and have absolutely loved 'em. Well, being that I am a club addict and love the look of a nice blade, I hit the CG-1's in EW. Could not believe the feel and the way the ball exploded off the face. The simulator also showed a really tight dispersion of shots, mis-hits were straight and thin (but they were few and far between!). Immediately went on to Ebay and found a set for $450.00 with Rifle 6.0 Project X shafts and bought 'em. Got them today and took the PW and 7 iron to the range. I hit about 40 balls and if I had 5 mis-hits, that was it. Again, misses were good misses. I have a different view about blades and that is that if it is a good blade with modern technology (i.e. MacG, which by the way somehow continues to fly under the radar and might just be the best crafted blade out there rivalling Cleveland and Mizuno), a blade should actually be a game improvement club as it forces the player to make good swings and provides immediate feedback good or bad. Let's face it, no matter what the size of the head or offset, you are supposed to hit it on the sweetspot in the middle of the club!

These irons instill confidence and are just as easy to hit as ANY game improvement club that I have tried.

I just purchased a new set of black pearl CG1s from Ebay - 3-PW with S300 shafts. I have used Cleveland CG2s and Callaway X14s previously. Previously I carried 5-PW and 3&4 hybrids. I was planning to use the CG1s 7-PW, CG2 5&6 and then 3&4 hybrids thinking the lower lofted irons may not be forgiving enough since they were blades. However, after using these clubs for several rounds I am using 4-PW CG1s. I have not found these clubs difficult to hit at all. I have also found the CG1s to be a good 1/2 club longer than my CG2s! I am also hitting the 4 iron consistently longer than the 4 hybrid. You definitely need to get past the look of a smaller clubhead but after you hit them a few times confidence comes in a hurry. The CG1s feel even softer and more solid than my CG2s and I liked those a lot. I couldn't be happier with these clubs and would encourage anyone with a consistent swing to try them. I don't think they will be dissappointed.

I consider myself a good ball striker with a good swing mechanic. I spend a lot of my time perfecting my iron-swing for distance and control. I've owne and have tried a lot of clubs from different brands lately - cavity back and blade irons, you name it. I bought these clubs a while ago (CG1 Black Pearl with Dynamic Gold S300 shaft) and have been testing them on the driving range for quite some time now. My first impression: awesome. Extremely clean line and well balanced. Makes you feel you are holding a true blade - a katana-like weapon, and that's the beauty of it. I hit it consistantly straight but can also easily shape shots. In term of consistancy, they are more reliable than my Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro which I've been playing with for the past 2 years. You don't lose distance with those blades, contrary to my old TA1. I recently switch back to my Ben Hogan but realize now that these old irons are too bulky. I have even tried the Mizuno MP-32 and MP-67 but find out the CG1 are easier to hit, mostly the 3-iron. Nay, I am going to keep my new CG1 for good and will never look back to cavity back irons. They are the perfect blades, in term of feel, distance and control.

I bought the set 2 years ago (the chrome set, not black pearl), and havent looked back since. I came from Cleveland TA5, which I have nothing to complain about, but decided to try the CG1 as it looks awesome. Tried it out for a couple of months, didnt have any luck,shots went haywire, until I changed the DGold standard shaft to another TT model (forgot the model).Boy, WHAT A DIFFERENCE the fitting made. Distance and consistency improve, improved further after I changed the grip w/ GP Dual Compound (1/64, larger than the standard grip size). I'm not a scratch golfer (yet), but these babies are easy to hit..trust me, the myth of "blades are only for scratch players' is not true. Buttery feel,excellent distance & consistency. Highly recommended. Get fitted to experience CG1 better.
