TA5 chrome S shaft w/sensicore
The TA5''s are my choice for the best cast iron on the market today. Distances are extremely consistent, pinpoint accuracy is their trademark. I''ve played Ping, Hogan, TaylorMade etc...if your looking for a great stick, give these a try!!! Customer Service No experience Similar Products Used: As indicated above |

TA-5 Gunmetal
I traded in my old Big Berthas for this set of irons, mostly because I liked the way they looked and they felt pretty good after hitting them at the shop a couple times. They''''re not a bad club but I found that as I got better I was wanting a smaller head with less offset. I think they may have been almost too soft, dulling some of the feedback. The finish of the club is definetly the best feature, it frames the ball at address very nicely. I think if you''''re interested in this club, but are looking for a set that you''''ll want to play with as you improve then I suggest getting the TA-3, also available in the Gunmetal finish. Customer Service Didn''''t have to deal with them Similar Products Used: Callway Big Bertha Irons |

Cleveland TA5 (Dynamic gold steel shafts)
These clubs have a nice soft feel. The technology in the head designs minimizes if not elimiates the vibration from skulled shots. The true temper dynamic gold shafts are the only way to go. They have such a nice pure feel to them. I tried the TA5 Gun Metal w/ sensicore shafts, and I didn''t like them as the feel was slightly heavier and the sensation at impact was a little to dull. ie. I couldn''t tell if the shot was good or not. The price of the reg clubs just can''t be beat. The clubs perform like the x-14''s, but at 2/3''s the cost. Price is in Can dollars incl tax Customer Service Not needed Similar Products Used: Ping I3 O-size, Callaway X-14, Taylor Made 320 |

Cleveland TA 5 - Sensicore steel shaft
For what these clubs have done for me, I think they deserve some cerdit. I started playing golf with some old King Cobra which did not help my game at all. Then I changed to the TA-5 with the sensicore shafts and my game went down from a 26 to a 16 handicap in 3 months. Then I bought a new set of Ben Hogan Apex Edge and I lost 20 yards on most of my irons. I bought the new 2002 TA5 with the sensicore shafts and I am back on route. My praise to the Cleveland people, great irons at a great price ($379 with a free bag for crying out loud). For anything near that price you can''t buy any Titleist, Callaway, Mizuno, Hogans, etc... Customer Service Have email several times and have responded promptly Similar Products Used: Apex edge, X14, 981. |

Great, forgiving irons. They hit as long or longer than my Ping I3s and just don''''t hurt when you hit the ball. If I hit the Pings anywhere but the sweet spot they rung my system like a bell, but the TA5s absorb the shock. My game has drastically improved for a number of reasons. One, they are a more forgiving iron and have a very soft feel to them. Two, they don''''t hurt if your a little off so I find myself not flinching ever so often. And three, the grip they have on the ball is way superior than that of the Pings. I am very impressed by these irons and recommend them to anyone, I agree with the people that say that they are a good idea for a high handicap golfer because of the forgiveness and easy playability. Customer Service no clue, golf shop was excellent as they always are Similar Products Used: Ping I3, Ping Eye 2, retail clones |

Great irons very easy to hit. I tryed them all and you can''t beat these for playability. Can''t work the ball with these but they are as long and straight as you will find. Cleveland makes a great product at a great price. Similar Products Used: Titlest 981, TM super steel, Nickalus Irons,Maxfil Revolutions, Ping oversize''s |

I can only describe my feelings for these clubs as love. They are unbelievable clubs that are so soft and long. You can really feel a good shot and its a great feeling. I am much longer with these irons then my previous irons. When the ball hits the green it just sits and spins. I''ve even heard that these clubs rust. How sweet is that? Customer Service Good |

TA-5 Gunmetal w/ Rifle 6.0 shafts
This is a very good looking and balanced set of clubs. I''ve been playing them for 5 months and I love them! I tested all the major brands (Callaway, Taylor Made, Armour 845''s, etc) and these had the best feel and accuracy. Distance was pretty much the same between them all. Mis-hits are controlled very well. I do recommend the gunmetal over the regular chromed if you are a "feel" player. The Rifle 6.0''s are also a nice unprade if you play a stiff shaft. This combo works very well. The only negative I''ve seen is that shaping my shots is a little more difficult than with my old forged set. But the trade off for "easy hitting" irons is well worth it. With these, I''m already breaking into the 80''s! And don''t forget to buy the (dual) gap wedge to match your set! Similar Products Used: Forged Hogan''s, Callaway, Taylor Made, Armour 845''s |

I recently traded in my set of ping zings for the Ta5''s. I can''t tell you the diference between them. It took me a while to get used to the lighter club, but after that I fell in love with them. I tried several clubs out including Mizuno, titleist, ping, taylor made and several others. None of them offered the same feel or accuracy that I was looking for. I found the quality to be far superior to most. Customer Service execelent Similar Products Used: mizuno, ping, taylor made, titleist, callaway. |

Gunmetal TA5
When I was first tried with this set TA5 GunMetal I could never expect the far more length I''ve got .PW made 140 yrds for me ,it was terrible just because for this shot I ''ve just want only 110 the ball passed cross over the green and disappeared into the water. I could make more distance with 5 , 4 ,3 as well I forgot fairway wood and leave it behind for making 200-210 yrds and replace it with 4 or 3 of this set . The most impressive for this set are low investment , nice looking gunmetal , solid feeling ,longer distance ,lower score . Thanks all for TA5 Gunmetal to make more victory to my game.
