ive had my ta3s since 2001 and have yet to find a reason to change them for a new set. in fact ive ive just managed to find a 2 iron on ebay, so im adding to the set eight years after i got them
these clubs are true classics forgiving, playable,good looking,
the guy who altered the lie on my set(who happens to be a master club maker)told me i wont find a better set of irons even now in 2009
i agree, you grow into a set of irons,
if they are in your bag for more than a year or two,stick with em .
i reckon my ball fight was a little higher and a hair shorter with the ta3s
but that suited me fine ,
its true that they feel great when your timing is in sync.
im amazed that the prices i see quoted for a used set on the net these days they are selling at what is nothing more than a bargain
get your self a set!

I have had my set of TA3s from new and never played better. A cracking set of true golfers irons.
The ball is framed perfectly at address with no glare from the sun.
True touch and feel is superb with the ability to work the ball and execute a true golf shot unlike other irons on the market which feel as though you have an iron girder in your hand with the touch, feel, aesthetics, grace and elegance of a shovel.

Very good irons, but you need the swing and athleticism to be able to hit them well. I play often with my father, who is in his mid-50s and he cannot hit them at all. For those with the ability, however, I feel that these are the best cavity-back irons that cleveland has ever made. Also they can be purchased used for a very reasonable price. Overall, a great club for a young player who wants irons that will help him get better but doesn't want to break to bank in the process.

I bought these clubs new about 9 years ago. Great set of irons. Very workable and consistent. Small forged head provides great feel that I have yet to find in testing other clubs to this day.

Cleveland Ta3 irons in a gunmetal finish are not only absolutely stunning looking irons, they are as accurate as blades, they go about 2 clubs longer than blades and they are far easier to hit than blades. They are getting quite rare now, especially in gunmetal finish, but if your lucky enough to find a set of Cleveland Ta3's, buy them, i think you will be impressed.

i picked these up about a year ago, and i have never regreted it. These things are great, i can control my shots, and i can get more spin on the ball than i could with my old irons (Ping Eye 2 knockoffs) these clubs improved my game a lot. great thing is that they are cheap to get too. i got mine for about $250. Overall great clubs

Great irons. very workable. occasionally shots will jump pf the face and fly 15 yards farther than normal. Great feel when hit solidly. you should be a sub 10 handicapper to hit these

Cobra Ping Nike Titliest Mizuno

I got these clubs about a month ago in very good condition on Ebay and they are a very solid set of irons. They set up very squarely and cleanly. These irons have little to no offset which allow the ball to be struck rather cleanly from a wide variety of lies. Additionally, the minimal offset allows for the production of a variety of shots: high, low, left, right, etc. The natural flight of these irons is somewhat above mid, so slightly on the high side, but absolutely not too high. Distance is average to slightly longer than average. Shots hit thin fly well with a minimal loss of distance and direction. These clubs are fairly forgiving on other mis-hits, but probably best suited for the middle to lower handicap player. Overall, these clubs are terrific and can be purchased quite inexpensively on the internet. These are probably the best, most solid through the set of irons I have ever owned.

Lots of other irons, i.e. King Cobra II irons (very long, but hard to control) Taylor Made Tour Preferred Blades (very solid, but not very forgiving) Titleist DCI 990 (average, shots hit well seem to fly on a "fluffy" flight).

I bought these off Golfbidder 2 years ago after hitting a 4-iron from a competitor in a competition. The first feeling I had was the weight of the club head, it was so much heavier than any other clubs I'd hit on the range. The club therefore just follows the trajectory you start your swing on, giving confidence that the clubhead will go where you want it, to rather than be a bit floppy in your hands.
But what has prompted this review. Well I thought the clubs were holding me back, so with £500 I went into American Golf to try the highly acclaimed Mizuno MP-32's and more forgiving MP60's. To cut along story short, my game isn't good enough for these or they're not good enough for me!!!.
The TA3s were just so much straighter, longer, and just a better feeling club when compared.
I know just ten minutes on the range is not going to give the same results as clubs you've played with for 2 years, I didn't expect to suddenly become a scratch golfer.
What I want any potential buyers to understand is that for £100 you can get a set of clubs that
a) look fantastic at address
b) feel great when hit sweetly
c) give plenty of forgiveness.
In conclusion, I will be saving my £500, I'll have the lies and length of my clubs changed to suit my game and body size, and go onto the course confident that instead of scoring in the 80's, I can get into single figures over par.

TA5s

Although I am new to the game (picked it up last year), I have worked diligently on my swing and my iron play is easily the strongest part of my game. If my short game were nearly as good, I would be shooting in the 80's or low 90's. As such, I feel that I am about as qualified to review these irons as a 10's shooter can be. I picked these up n ebay for $140. Much like the other reviewers, I have gained a substantial amount of distance (a club to a club and a half) with these irons over my previous set (Adams GT Tight Lies). On a center-strike these irons feel almost butter-like (believe it!). I have been experimenting with working the ball, and can hit a consistent draw with these. Strangely enough, it's almost easier for me to hit these dead-straight. Even the 3 and 4 iron are easy to hit. This set has Dynamic Gold Stiff Shafts, but the trajectory is on the mid-to-high side. Mis-hits aren't punished the same way they are with musclebacks, although the ball will dive fairly quickly to either side depending on the swing. These forged cavity backs have no offset and are probably better for people with fast, consistent swings. The heavyish clubhead makes the club easy to control on the downswing.
