kinda the same boat with other clubs. A lot of what I am hearing is they have a good forgiveness, but the feedback is muted. Muted enough for people not to like it anyway. other then that I hear they are a good GI club.

Well it really depends if you want forgiveness or if you want more workability.

Because if you want a little more workability (but a little less forgiveness) than the CG Reds are for you, but if you want a little more forgiveness, than I'd recommend the CG Golds.

You being a 10.8 handicapper it's kind of hard to suggest which one. Being somewhere in the middle of a great ball striker, and an average ball striker. I'd say that your best bet is to go somewhere and hit both.

The CG Red's are NOT game improvement clubs, heck they have Tour Spec written in the cavity.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

I hear they have a dull feel. You don't see to many people that own them either (at least i haven't). You don't see many people with the "better player" cleveland irons in general. I think your money is better spent on mizuno or taylormade, maybe titleist.

That's quite true. If you really like Cleveland and are looking for a "players cavity" I'd look at the CG2. These are not muted at all. They are very soft with a ton of feedback. I know this sounds contridictory, but it's true. You'll get in for at least half the price of the Mizuno/Titleist crowd.

I actually got a cherry demo set with the 3 iron still in the wrapper for $225 tax included at a local retailer. I couldn't tell they had been hit! The biggest steal I've ever got on a set of irons. But I suppose you get what you pay for. I love these clubs but would trade even for a set of MP52s.....no takers?

I agree, you only know it when you hit them bad, when you hit them right it feels like hitting a pillow, it's odd but I like it. And Stacey I agree, I want a set of MP-57's or MP-52's too.

I lean the cg2 for the simple reason that they are cheap. mp-52's would be very nice but due to cost can't do it. From what I hear cg2's are more forgiving dispite how, some would say, they look. No personal yet though =/

I'm not sure if this will help, since I don't own the reds but here goes. I got the cg golds for my birthday, and I'm very glad that I did. These clubs are more GI then the reds for sure but I'm able to work the ball (to a degree) and I'm not a great irons player. And who ever said they don't have feed back, well I'm just not sold on that. When I pure one of these irons it feels silky smooth, and you can tell pretty easily. These clubs will allow you to grow with them, into a true players club. Best advice is to try them out, compare them side by side to other clubs. Best of luck mate.

ive hit a few balls with these persoanlly i didnt really like them. Mainly becuase i felt the top line was on the bulkier side for what they condsider a "players club" If a players club is what your looking for i recomend some mizunos or some callaway x-forged irons.

hope this helps

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
