CG-2 Irons

[Woody]

Has anyone tried the new Cleveland CG-2 irons ? They are made with the same composite material they used for the CG-10 wedges which are awsome. If they have anywhere near the feel of the wedges I would be really impressed. I have been looking at the X-18 pros but these new CG-2's are making me think again ...

I briefly considered giving the CG-1s a try before I settled on the 680s. They were classic looking clubs that set up nicely, really a nice looking set of clubs. I didn't hit them, but if you can get on a launch monitor, have at it. Know your ball flight tendencies - the CG-2s probably hit the ball higher than most. That may be good or bad.

What are you playing now?

I'm playing X-14's and I hit them very well, though I tend to hook the short irons. I'm looking for a little less offset, more control, lower flight and an extra 10 yards on the long irons. Besides, my hands are itching for a new set and the CG-2's look awfully nice and are made of the same composite material the CG-10 wedge is made of and I love that ! I also prefer the Dynamic Gold shaft ...

Get on the launch monitor, hit some balls (try to hit them with at least one long, mid, and short iron) in a dome if you have to (I see you live in Indiana), and get fitted. The CG-1 is a nice set from what I've read and heard.

Coincidentally our Cleveland rep was here today. I only got to take a look at their new irons, I'll be trying them out on Friday. Just at a glance, the CG2s looked a lot nicer, to me, than their TA series irons, along with the CG1s. The CG1 7-iron that I saw had the smallest head I've ever seen on an iron. So, although they've changed the looks to please my eye a little more, that small head is kinda scary. But, like I stated earlier, I'll be giving them a crack on Friday.

I hit a 6 iron at the store and it felt great. I compared it to similar Mizzuno, Nike, Titliest clubs ... I hit it better than all the others. The club head is kind of small as you say - like all nimble sports cars - but I didn't have a problem making contact. It is also less offset than all the others. So you can hit it hard and still manage to send it straight. I just wish I could demo the entire set oudoors ...

Let me know what you think.

I think you said it all...

Some of the online stores have 30 day playtest guarantees... Even if it cost you 10% of the purchase price in a restocking fee, I think it'd be worth it. And I don't think they have a restocking fee. There's always eBay, too.
