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?

    • the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.
    • Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.
    • Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting. 
    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
