I wanted to get rid of my old starting clubs and move up to clubs that I wanted to stick with for the next few years. I'm still a beginner but after reading some of these reviews I decided to give these a try. I origionally wanted the gunmetal ones just based on looks alone but i didn't like the thought of them gradually rusting over time so I went with the chrome. I went to pro golf discount several times to hit them in the practice cage till the manager told me that if a came here to look at them again I'd have to buy them. I chose the steel shafts with regular flex and they had a promotion where they threw in a free cleveland golf bag. I got to pick the one I wanted too! So I got a nice set of sticks and sweet new golf bag! It took several trips to the driving range to get used to the new clubs. I found the PW longer than my old one but the other irons were shorter than my old ones. After getting used to the new lengths I find that I get a sold feel off the tee, high ball flight and more distance. I'm hitting straighter and more confident in my game. I absolutely love them. I'm pretty sure I won't have to buy another set for some time. I'd recomend them for other beginners too. Customer Service Didn't have to deal with them.

I found these to be the best feeling irons of all that I tried. Similar to X-14s but feel softer (which I put down to VAS) and are significantly cheaper. I hit them 10 yards further than anything else and the shots are consistently shaped. I also find them easy to work. Excellent job Cleveland !

I am a ten handicapper and have used a variety of clubs over the past 30 years of playing and like these the best of any iron I've tried. I was looking for a more forgiving club with some degree of feel. I usually hit a 7 iron 155 but hit the TA5 ten yards further. This was true of most clubs in the set. The feel is the closest thing to forged for a cast club. Toe hits are very forgiving. These seem to have a draw bias in the longer clubs. I hit the X-14s, Hawkeyes, VCGs. Titelist, Hogans, and Fat Shafts and liked these the best. Customer Service none Similar Products Used: Callaway X-14 and Hawkeye, Titelist, Hogan Edge, Nicklaus VCG, Wilson fat shaft |

I read many reviews and wanted to try the TA5's to see how they felt. Although I didn't think I would like graf shafts, they are the best club I have have ever used, and I have experimented with many name brands. I would recommend them to any golfer of any handicap.

I recently tried the Titleist 990, using a 5 iron I had an average distance of 172 yards for 5 shots, then I hit the TA5 6 iron and hit it an average distance of 178 yards. These are excellent clubs and I reccommend them to just about anyone. Similar Products Used: Titleist 990 & Top-Flite Tour Ti |

I recently purchased the ta5's. These are the easiest set of sticks I've ever hit. I used to dread hitting my 3 and 4 iron. Now these clubs are just as easy as hitting your 7 iron. The trajectory is alot higher than my previous irons without any loss of distance. I ordered mine with the rifle shafts. These were easily worth the money.

I recently bought a new set of TA5 irons. I went to the local golf shop and tried every Iron out,except for blades. I narrowed my choice down to TaylorMade 320 and TA5. With both clubs in my hand I felt very confident. Both were extremly straight and very consistant. Solid/soft hits were a formality. I did like TM 320's rifle shafts. So I asked if it was possibly to get the TA5's in rifle shaft. I got the Ta5's with rifle shafts about $250 cheaper than than the 320's.

Consistently hits straight & high, right through the bag. Very forgiving, but shorter than my previous set Taylor Made. Small head might be offputting for a beginner. Have the ability to shape shots. Short irons superb. At last no enforced sand iron. Ideal middle handicap clubs, but would pose no real problem for a rabbit. Similar Products Used: Taylor Made, Maxfli Revolution, MacGregor forged. |

I love these irons. An extremely easy to hit set. The low profile helps get that ball in the air...especially the long irons. The best clubs for the money. I have the "orignal" design -- but the Gunmetals look even better. Similar Products Used: Cobra, Taylor Made |
