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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
