None These irons turned out to be a real surprise for me. I hit them on a lark at a local golf store, and fell in love with them. The biggest surprise is that I HATED the TA 3 (cast) model. Sold them after one round. I swore that Clevelands were junk..I was wrong. I have played Hogan Apex irons for years and love them. My swing is a little off from lack of play and moved to a "game improvement club" for a little forgiveness. To my joy, these clubs are long and straight. VERY similar to the Apex Plus in terms of feel. I am always amused by the paumpus reviews that scratch golfers give cavity backed irons, holding them in contempt for lack of feel or "lack of workability"... To that end, I can hit a high cut, or low fade with these with my eyes closed. If you know how to work the ball, you can work the ball with any club. I say to the scratch golfer with the ''tude, "go ahead, continue to hit the muscleback blades"..while I kick your butts with my "game improvement" irons..Way to go Cleveland! You have earned a spot in my bag along with the Hogans! Similar Products Used: Maxfli Revolution, Armour 845s, Hogan Apex |

TA-5 Gunmetal Stiff Shafts
After a ton of research and demos I choose to go with the TA-5's. To tell the truth, I must admitt I was a little dissapointed at first. I had played with my old set (Head Premise) since I learned the game (6 years ago) and was looking forward to picking up a new set that would have an immediate inpact on my game. Wrong. My first 2-3 rounds were not horrible but I didn't feel they were any better than my old sticks. However, the more I played with them, the better they felt. Now I'm killing the ball and it feels great. High, Straight, Accurate. The feel is increadible. So don't really pay attention to reviews that are written after 1 or 2 rounds of play. Every club needs a little adjustment in your game. You have to learn how the club likes to be handled. Some clubs are a little heavier and need to be swung with more or less force. I was so accustomed to my old set and how to use them. Now I have to "get used" the TA-5's. Round by Round the TA-5's are imroving my game. Love the Sensicare shafts. Highly recomended! Great club for the money! Nice looking! Customer Service none Similar Products Used: None |

Cleveland TA-5 with rifle shafts
These irons are extremely long, especially the short irons, and with the rifle shafts, the accuracy is unmatched. I like the progressive offset and I am thinking of adding a dual wedge to the set. Customer Service good service Similar Products Used: Maxfli revolution, ping i3 blade, titleist 981, cobra cxi, tommy armour evo forged, mizuno comp-ez forged, callaway x-14 pro series, taylor made 300 forged |

This are great clubs. I love them. They are a very sold club. The clubs are very forgiving. They are not the greatest club to buy if you are a person who likes to work the ball. over all they are the best irons i ever hit. Similar Products Used: None |
