So... I'm looking to buy some new irons since mine are too short & tbh... are shit. So I went to the golf shop & hit some iron sets and really like the Cleveland CG Golds. The next day at practice (high school golf team) I played with the coach. I started talking to him about what clubs I should buy, and if he liked his clubs (he has the CG2s). So... on a few holes, he let me use a few of his irons, & I hit them pretty good. Basically, I read a few articles on the CG4 Tours, reading that they were almost between CG2s & CG4s.

So I'm asking if anyone here has used any of these, and if you have had a good experience with them. This and any other advice is greatly appreciated.

I've hit the CG2, CG4 and CG4 Tour. I think the CG4 Tour has a great blend of playability and forgiveness. The CG2 is definitely more of a players club but still offers some forgiveness. What CG2 irons did you try? Meaning what club, 9 iron, 5 iron, etc. Typically how do you hit your irons? If you liked the CG Gold you might want to give the regular CG4 a try. I believe the Gold's are replacing the CG4 and the Red's are replacing the Tour. I imagine both models could be had at a good price now or relatively soon.

I don't know if this helps you, but next week I'm going to spend some time with the CG Red irons.

I've had the CG4 Tours for awhile and I love them. They aren't the longest irons I've ever hit but they have a great soft feel and produce a high soft shot.

I'm happy with them.

thanks for the replies.

I'm pretty sure it was an 8 iron. And before I grew another 2 inches, and my clubs became too short, i was hitting my irons really well. And yeah, the CG4 & the Tours are cheaper now, around $400 now.

I'll be interested in reading that review.

thanks for the replies.

Only reason I ask is because the short irons are easier to hit. If you are looking at getting the CG4 Tour I'd demo the CG4 as well and see which one you like better. Good luck!

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
