Cleveland TA-7
All I can say that it's a very solid and easy to use iron set. Although it's kinda weird to see the offset at the setup, but this club giving back good response when you swing it properly. I especially love the 3 and 4 iron, I used to have some problems with the most long irons but...not with TA-7, on a good smooth swing I can get 190-210 yds with the 3 iron and the ball flight was also nice (no need for me to buy those hybrids anyway)

TA 7 +1
Alright, I used this website in deciding to get the TA 7 this past summer. I instantly added one more inch to them as I am 6'4. I am not a great golfer by a long shot, however I have my moments of brilliance. It took me a while to feel comfortable with these clubs, probably a few factors went it this. Mainly, the extra inch that I was not used to and second I had previously been playing with senior shafted clubs(I am 24 and swing hard, you can imagine the problems I was having before) However, after my fourth round using my TA 7s I have shot my best round ever of 91 at a respectable golf course. My previous best was 100. I expect my score to drop even more this summer as I play with them more. Plus, these are one sexy set of clubs.

TA7 - Reg flex sensicore
Hmm, this is a set of sticks that has had a true "love-hate" relationship with me. A few years ago, I bought a set of these for my father-in-law b/c he's always had issues getting the ball airborne. During that time, I tried the sticks on several occasions and LOVED them. So, when I was able to spend that kind of dough on myself, I bought myself a set. I bought them in regular flex (I usually played Stiff, but wanted to try regulars). I'm not sure if it was the club head of the shaft, or the combination, but most of my shots BALLOONED into the wind. I was about half a club shorter than I was with my previous Mizuno's (too bad I sold them too early).

Phenomenal irons. I've been playing them for a while now; I wanted to give them some time before reviewing them. When Cleveland says that these irons are for all skill levels, they are 100% on the money. When i got these ($250 for the set on ebay), I was shooting mid 80's. At the time, I was playing Tommy Armour 845u's (great iron for a high handicapper). In looking for new irons, I needed a forgiving iron with good length that let me work the ball (since I had started to learn how to do that). Since then i have tuned my swing and feel. I am now shooting mid to high 70's and am able to use these irons to hit any shot in the bag (low punch, cut, draw, sharp hook, super high rainmaker, etc.) When struck purely, they have a very soft, yet solid feel. Even on mis-hits, the feel is still good, and they are not very penal. Since the introduction of the cg4, Cleveland does not make these irons anymore and they can be had for a steal on ebay. Highly recommended. Customer Service Haven't used it Similar Products Used: Tommy Armour 845u |

I can see why these clubs get good reviews, but they haven't worked for me. My custom specs for the CG1's are -2 degrees in lie Standard loft, R300 True Temper shafts, about a 1/4" shorter in length. These clubs you can't get custom fitted and you'd have to send your set off to Cleveland Golf because there's some kind of special process needed to custom fit them. I can also see why Cleveland stop making these. There's no heel to toe weight differential. It just feels like a solid peice of steel in your hand. Now for the most useless part. In my experience with these clubs, I couldn't get the distance dialed in. 7 iron, 150 yards, or 130. 5iron into the wind from 150 yards,....short. The feel of these clubs are pretty dead and hollw. I guess since I'm used to playing blades, I can't get that solid feel I love so much from a good, forged blade (Mizuno MP32). If you're seeking these out in a pro shop or E-Bay (limited supplies left, they don't make this model no more) make sure they're right for you. I've had dissappointing rounds of golf with these irons, and thats a shame, because, as a whole, I like the Cleveland name. Their Launcher series and CG series are awesome. These clubs won't see another golf course from my bag I'm afraid, but they seem to be great for other people. Lets play one day, you and the TA7's and me and my MP32's. Customer Service Cleveland is awesome. Tryout days, Fittings and if you go to some golf equipment websites (tgw.com) Theres custom fitting information with no charge for getting your clubs custom fitted.

Cleveland TA7 Irons
After 7 years of playing Callaway Big Bertha Irons (1996), I thought it was time to purchase a club that would challenge my ball striking ability. I pretty much looked at every iron available while waiting for the new TaylorMade LT2 irons to surface in the shops. I think my local shop was sick of seeing me hit balls into the nets on my weekly visits to check on the LT2 arrivals. Each time I was attracted to the Cleveland TA7's. They were never originally on the radar screen, but they felt solid and provided great feedback. The top line also looked good to my eye compared to the BB's thick top line. I waited for the LT2's to arrive only because I had thought that they were the club for me. Once the LT2's arrived it did not take me long to pull the trigger on the TA7's. The TA7's just gave me more confidence through their feel and look. 6 months later, I can't be happier. I'm hitting the clubs 7-10 yards further on average and I can work the ball with as much consistency that a 12 handicapper can expect. I attribute the length increase to a combination of stronger lofts, more consistent ball striking (requirement of the narrower sole width vs the BB's) and, most importantly, the confidence the look of the club gives me. I just plain like the club and I think it effects my swing. For those looking for new irons, don't overlook these. They haven't been a mainstay of the Cleveland line for a number of years because they don't perform. With the release of the new CG4 line, the TA7's can be had for a very affordable price. You won't be disappointed. As with all clubs, get out and hit them first. Customer Service Dampening medalion on six iron came loose (glue). Called Cleveland were very helpful on how to get it back to them. Took two weeks, but I attribute that to my local shop packaging, shipping and receiving more than Cleveland's service. Nothing bad to say. Similar Products Used: TaylorMade LT2 Callaway X-16 |

These clubs are truly awesome. At one point in my life I was a 4 handicap. Now I play about 3-4 times per month and shoot 85-90 most of the time. Lack of playing time has forced me out of my blades, then away from my Mizuno T-Zoids, finally to the TA7's. I must say I could not be happier. A year ago I was shooting in the 90's almost every round, which was frustrating since I used to have a game, but since switching to the TA7's I almost always am in the 80's and on a good day I am back in the 70's. I also had my first hole in one with these irons (a gap wedge from 130 yds)!!! Very accurate, very long, and easy to work the ball in my opinion.

I have been playing with MP14's for about 3 years now and within the past 2 years I have not been playing as much. I get out twice a month at best and my game shows it. So, for the past few weeks I have been demoing irons that better suit where my game is without giving up some performance. Here are a few I tried: TM Firesole, Mizuno 23, Wilson Deep Red, Callaways X-16 and Cleveland's TA7 and TA2. After all was said and done I ended up going back to the TA7's. They just had a nice feel and the combination of a lite Stiff shaft really helped me control the ball best. It is harder to shape a shot, but my game is not at that level anymore. I hit every ball straight and long. I had to get use to the distance of each club, but I was very impressed with these irons overall. If you are in the market for a new set of sticks you must try these Cleveland TA7's. |

I have nothing but good things to say about these clubs. I have had them for a year now I love them. I know some folks say that some irons make them hit the ball farther. I hit these just as far as I hit my TM knock-offs. The difference is that these feel much better on pure shots. If these ever get worn out I will probably buy another set. I tried Cobras, Ping, TM RAC LT's, and a couple of others before settling on these. They have a good look to them at set-up. Just a great all-around club.
