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?

    • Kind of reminds me of my first driver - a TM R580 at a whopping 400cc.  Still have one in the stable - and like to hit it on occasion.  Makes me wonder if the Mini-drivers of today are a testing ground to drivers of tomorrow of the powers that be opt to roll back driver head size in conjunction to the ball roll back to limit the overall distance.  I’ve not done a lot of research on shot distances between the mini and regular drivers, but figured there is some.  Will be something to follow as the mini-driver unfolds. 
    • Day 167: did a decent amount of slow rehearsal swings, working on cleaning up some backswing stuff. 
    • I agree with you, at least in regards to myself and playing. I can't really speak much for others. I assume that some people who are playing golf very often can notice more drastic differences. That being said, I do notice some differences here and there and sound and feel definitely have some say in which ball I end up liking. But that seems more psychological than physical. I've only been playing golf regularly for a year now and I'll play almost any ball since I often lose balls. However, since I've been able to get out once a week for a while now, I am down to losing only about 2-3 balls from losing 10-14 per round. Which feels huge for me and so I've begun to narrow down the balls I choose to play with. I've gone through a box of Vice Pro Plus, Vice Pro, Sugar, Titleist DT Trufeel and Kirklands. Bought a bucket of 350 used balls which had a majority of Srixon Soft Feels in there. I decided to give the Soft Feels a try and have really been enjoying them quite a bit. Only yesterday did I hit a Pro V1 for the first time and it felt quite nice. However, that all being said, I have to admit, I've played my best overall with Vice Pro Plus balls. I get the most distance from these balls and am able to hit them quite well. I am not sure on green side spin/grip, I think I'd prefer them to check up a bit more. But I believe one really big factor for me with these balls is that I usually club down when hitting them because I gain so much distance off of them and I also tend to bring my swing speed down which causes me to have a more accurate swing and ball strike. As opposed to trying to whack the snot out of the ball each time, which ends up in a slice 75% of the time. I do love testing out new balls though, sound and feel is always fun to experience.
    • I am in the same boat, I'd love to test a LAB OZ but nobody here has them either and I've never seen one played on any courses I've been on. Nor can I afford/commit to blindly buy something at this price and not know how it works for me. I've been playing a cheapy $60 Wilson Harmonized M1 for a long time and was looking at new putters but the price of a new putter is really off-putting. Thankfully I played in a tournament in November and ended up winning a brand new Taylormade TR B31. Will probably be playing this for a few years until I get to try something like the LAB OZ and once it's been discounted if I like it.
