I own a set of Ta2 irons as my backup set to my Cg1 Black pearls. These irons give me a very high soft landing fade as opposed to my normal draw. They are very forgiving and very soft at impact. I probably gain an extra 12yds with these irons. These clubs have been underrated in my opinion.

Great irons, got them 3 years ago and are still hitting them today. Forgiving, yet still able to work the ball, it was a great buy.

When I was in high school I had a 3 handicap...move forward 7 years and I'm trying to get back in the game after a 6 year hiatus for university. I thought I could still hit a set that felt liked a forged iron. I used to hit Titleist DCI's which were very forgiving. I bought the Ta2's on Ebay and thought I could go out and pick up where I left my game. After about 15 rounds with these, I found them quite heavy in weight, mid to long irons difficult to hit unless struck pure. however, when you do hit them nice, it is dream like. You can work them left or right. I recommend them to the 8 and below handicapper. I've only been in the 70's twice in 15 rounds with these. i poor shot feels like you've never hit a ball in your life. You need to put a lot of work in on the range and play at leat 3 times a week to hit these irons. if so you'll love them... if not get used to hitting in the 80's.

At address they look beautiful...virtually no offest. these irons need time and care to use effectively

These clubs are great, they let you work the ball fairly easy im 14 and just starting to break 80 but i love these irons they help me hit my high fade around trees; knock down shots are getting simple these clubs feel amazing and you can tell if you hit a good shot or not with the feel of the club face so that helps you become a better player

I had been looking for a forged iron with a little cavity and a smaller head and had always liked the looks of this Cleveland model. I found a set on Ebay with 2* upright lie and +1/2", which fits me to a "T"...and I stole them for $175 in excellent condition. They are similar in design to my old Titleist DCI 962s (which I played for ten years), but the feel is much better. A purely struck shot off this iron feels absolutely incredible. I like to work the ball and find it easy to do with these. I can't think of any reason I would switch away from these. Irons are about feel, which is generally less reliant on technology, and these are starting to feel like a part of me...at least, when I'm on the golf course.

I bought these about seven months ago, for a steal, and thought my game was built for them. As far as the last review said, the clubs were wonderful to hit... and then the honeymoon ended... I had so many struggles with these, I ended up hitting these low and right no matter what I did... The contact sucked, the ball flight was miserable, and distance was terrible... So i put them away, and started building my swing back up. Well, after about 4 months, I picked them back up, put them in my bag, and they just felt right.. They were a hell of a lot smaller than my older irons, and I couldn't adjust to the size and the required attention to play them... I finally was able to adjust to them enough to take them out and play, but I didn't expect anything special... I ended up playing a great round, hitting these Irons better than even I expected. The absolute keys to these irons, and all irons of similar style, is that they require an absolute focus on what you want to do and the kind of shot you need to hit in order to play them well. They aren't the hardest irons to hit, but the thing is, if you want to use these irons to the absolute highest potential, then you have to be sure of what you want to do.. these are not for the hit and hope crowd...

they're a really good first-generation CB, and they are a good club to pick up, at a great price and they are an excellent first step to making yourself an improving golfers. My next step, is to purchase some blades... My game's improved so much with these, I'll be ready very soon!

After playing King Cobra II oversize for over 6+ years, and developing my skill enough, I found that trying to play specific shots with these Cobra's was next to impossible. I like using little punch shots, but with my Cobra irons, i would have to aim well right of my target and let the offset do the work to carry it back left. Needless to say, i wasn't pleased.
I made the descision to switch over to a more blade-style iron, and happened upon a set of Cleveland TA2's on Ebay for $150.

I just got them yesterday, and took them out to the range yesterday and today. The first balls i hit, of course, were weak slices, the product of my body adjusting to the new club. But after that, i could do no wrong with it:


Here's a summary of what these clubs can do with the right swing:

1) Extremely workable, with a touch of forgiveness if you just want to hit it straight.

2)Allow you to play any variety of shots without having to make insane adjustments to your stance or swing.


Another benefit of these irons, for me, is that they are heavier than my Cobra's, and just feel more balanced overall than the Cobra's. The heads are small, obviously compared to the Cobra irons, but these only inspired confidence and a challenge in me, as it meant i had to focus on my shot.

The greatest benefit on these irons is the feel they give. With my former irons, i wouldn't be able to tell to much whether it was good or bad. But with these, a nice, albeit jarring, sting hits your hands and lets you know just how bad you hit it. This is better, i believe, because it leads to a more productive round towards your improvement in skill than offset, back weighted super-game improvement irons would. If you want to take your game to a more challenging and competitive level, try these. I got them for a steal, so jump on these if you get the chance... If not, at least demo one, and see what results you get.

After a full season of use: TA2s are cast iron with FORGE-like steel/feel, very soft. I'm not the best ball striker, but these irons have improved my score with its feedback, letting me work the ball when necessary.

I moved from my T-zoid because I need a stiff shaft, most of my distances are about the same despite being less strong on the TA2s (PW=120yrs, swing speed is 92mph), but my 5-3 irons are longer (+8yrs). NO BALLOONING EFFECT. Now the distances are more accurate, mainly because my ball flight is lower, especially with the 5-3 irons (Partially with the shaft, and head weighting).

I still have a hard time hitting the 3-iron but I'm slowly learning how to use it as a driving iron (209-216yrs).

The key irons for me is the PW, 8, & 6. The overall look of the irons at setup is simple (not like the Nike Slingshot, which look fat).

Would buy the same irons if I could.

These Irons are great. I switched from Ping eye2 to these and I'm not looking back. I was little nervous because they look like blades but looks can be decieving. The irons are soft and are easy to work. As long as you have a good swing these irons will place the ball exactly where you want it.
