Hi all,

couldnt decide between those two sets of irons Titleist 804OS or Cleveland CG4.
I already own them both but have to get rid of one set. Both feel great and have its pros and cons.

Any comments on the two sets? Maybe I can get that little hint helping me with my decision.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I don't think we know enough about you to be able to help. Have you hit either? What led you to them?

I tried the titleist, they don't feel to good. But the cg4 seem to wear a little quicker. I think personally the cg4 goes farther and is more consistent but the titleist has better aesthetics. Keep the cg4

Okay. here's a little information.

I am relatively new to golf, started playing in November '05. Being a former Baseball player I guess my swing is a little more towards hitting. My handicap drops pretty steady at the moment (acual -32.5) which means I ususally play in the low 100s, but lowering the score almost every round I play. My driver swingspeed is about 95mph, I own the SMT Spectrum with Accuflex v.3 stiff shaft and handle it quite successfull with an average driving length of about 240-250yds. 5 Iron lenght is about 170-175yds. I already hit both sets and right now both feel pretty good to me. One problem of comparisation is that Titleists are regular shafted, while the Clevelands are stiff. Usually the stiff flex should fit a little better to my swing speed, but maybe playing the softer flex for a couple of months may help me to concentrate on a smoother swing and therefor develope a better Golfswing. I know that I am going to get fitted in the future anyway, but think that I need to fix my swing first, so I usually would like to get it done later this year. That could be a point of changing shafts of the Titleists anyway. As the Cleveland are pretty new a shaft replacement would hurt a little more. Is it a good idea to play softer shfats in the swing developement process? Or might it be better to go correct flex right away?

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
