All I have to say is WOW!!! I've always played cavity back irons, and this is my first foray into forged blades. I will never go back. The feeling I get when I hit the ball well is absolutely unbelievable and leaves me wanting more. Workability is superb. Any shot in the bag can be played with these (draw, cut, high, low, anything in between). Distance is more than adequate; I haven't noticed any difference in distance between my TA7's and these irons. When miss-hit, these irons let you know you did something wrong, but they are not excessively penal for the sake of being penal. That being said, a miss-hit by a 70's or 80's shooter and a miss-hit by a high handicap golfer or beginner are two different things. These are not irons for the high handicapper or novice. For these players, the Cleveland TA7 and CG4 are GREAT irons and offer added forgiveness while having the ability to learn how to work the ball. And I don't say this to be arrogant; I was a 37 handicap when I first started playing, so I know what it's like to need the extra forgiveness. However, if you are looking for an iron that offers superb shot-making ability without getting killed for not hitting the ball perfectly, then I highly recommend at the very least looking into these.

Right off the bat, I had a good feeling about these irons. The distance you get from these is amazing. They really have found a way to distribute the weight of the club throughout the head. I think these would feel better with the Dynalite Shafts rather than the dynamic gold. The Dynamic Gold shafts felt heavy on these, therefore making it hard to feel the clubhead throughout the swing. I topped a lot of balls with these, including a par 3 over water, which I don't need to mention where my shot wound up. Theres no denieing the feel of these clubs. Simply superior when hit dead on and don't buy in to the myth that blades are hard to hit, these totally blow that myth out the water. I wouldn't suggest these for the begining golfer. These clubs compliment the 18 or higher handicap. For all you high handicap and begining golfers, I suggest you start with your grip. A lot of times your distance and accuracy problems will start there. Read the book "Swing Like a Pro" from Dr. Ralph Mann and Fred Griffin. Go to amazon.com, you'll get it for a good price. They offer you great tips to your set up and grip. It changed my swing completely. Of course nothing can beat good practice, and if your going to purchase these, I stongly suggest you try them first. These clubs are dead on accurate and offer loads of workablity. They've got that old traditional wilson blade look to them. I also suggest getting covers for them. The metal on them is softer than any I've ever been familiar with. All and all, a very nice traditional style blade with an awesome feel.

When I started golf 2 yrs ago when I was 14 my mom got me a set of Tour Edge Reaction II irons. They served me well most of the time, but I felt like it was time for a more advanced set of clubs since I have dropped about 14 strokes since last year. My boss got the CG1's but liked his old clubs better, so he let me have them for $400!! I went to the driving range afterwards and that was the most fun I have ever had hitting balls period! Every club was going at least 10 yds further and the short irons are just pinseekers! I went from hitting a 7 iron 150 yds to flying it 160 and sticking it. The bladed long irons are actually very easy to hit, accurate, and longer than my old ones. Just the feel of the club is instantaneous when you grip it, just amazing. I know these clubs have my vote!

without a doubt the most solid iron on them market. distance for me is almost 1 1/2 clubs longer than old irons

picked up a set of the these at Golf Galaxy brand new for 500$!!!! the feel is amazing and the workablity is crazy easy. i dont get why people think these are hard to hit? as long as you make ok contact and trust it, it will go and go strait at that. this is my first set of blades and im loving them. my only problem is a hit off the hossel with these is gone hard left (im a lefty), but that would happen with just about all irons out there right.

Being a fairly new golfer (been playing seriously about 1 and a half), I have been trying out alot of different clubs. The CG1's are as good as I have played and I have played a ton of clubs. All clubs feel more or less nice when you hit the sweet spot, it's how the clubs feels when you don't hit it that makes the difference. These never felt hard. Even on off-center hits they still felt great. This is definitely a club worth buying.

I am a firm believer that equipment makes a difference in the enjoyment of the game. Irons have always been my greatest source of aggrevation. I started with old Wilson hand-me-down blades, then cast begginer no name cavity backs, then TA2's, then TA6's, and finally CG1's. So I have come full circle with club design choice, my initial experience with the Wilson blades was when you hit, it was fat, thin, or an awesome feeling. With 'game improvement' irons like the TA6's it was fat, thin, or yeah whatever feeling - fat, thin, or dead center were not much different. Forged irons like the old Wilson's or newer Hogan FTX's also provide feedback like the CG1's but in a very harsh manner (mean vibration through the hands). I recently hit 150+ balls at the range with the CG1's, working it out, finally around ball 100 I was in the zone - the feeling was about the best I have ever had in any golf experience. I get the occasional birdie on the course, yeah it is nice, but the feeling of hitting the ball straight and perfect is something I think a lot of golfers have never experienced. I had it for a brief moment, I was so excited, I hit every iron - 3 thru PW with so little effort and full distance. Of course, I cannot hit a hundred warm up balls each shot on the course - hence stuck in the 90's. Final word: I don't really care if I end up hitting blades or 'game improvement' irons, I am just not willing to trade a few extra strokes 'improvement' for the incredible feeling of a well struck ball. Just make sure you practice a lot with these, maybe you will have a similar experience at the 100th range ball - and hopefully someday on the course.

Go to GolfSmith early when they first open, head straight for the used clubs. They take your license and you get to hit balls at their range for free. Get the good service early, once it gets busy for get about it.

These irons are unbelievable. Tried Mizuno MP-32. It's like hitting rocks compare to the CG1. You have to hit them to believe. I still cannot believe I bought a set of Cleveland. I've never liked them (kinda hated them) until this CG1 showed up. Just to show you I have no bias towards the brand. I strongly suggest you go try this set out if you are in the market for irons regardless your handicap. Don't be intimidated by the blade look. I gained about average +- 10 yrd for each iron. Can't say enough about them

I must say that this is by far the best set of irons I have ever had. The way it feels when you hit a ball solidly whith these clubs, cannot be described in words. I've hit other irons and have had solid hits before, but the feel of these irons is amazing. The 3 iron even feels great. It's like a creamy or butters feel, it is impossible to describe. I am 15 and and I can hit these irons, and they are blades. The only problem with my game is chipping. With my other clubs I am very long and accurate, just my chipping sucks. So take my word for it, these clubs are by far the best clubs on Earth, and that is a fact. They are just so long and straight it isn't even funny.

I have the TA2s and used to play with pings. I shoot around par someatimes and usally under 80, but was still a little aprehensive to hit blades so I bought the TA2s. After hitting the CG1s I think I made the biggest mistake. As good as they are the CGs feel like butter and sooo wish I had them in my bag. These are not the same generation as the Titleist blade I used to play, WOW

Customer Service

Don't know, just hit the demos. Play TA2s and Cleveland has always been a little slow but high quality.
