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.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
