Cleveland GG 1's

[907golfer12]

I am looking at getting some Cleveland CG1 Black Pearl irons. I was just wondering if anyone has hit them, or owns them. I live in Alaska so there is no where that i can try them in the state, let alone buy them. So any info would be greatly appreciated

I play them and couldn't be happier. The workability is insane and I hit them beautifully. Greatest golf investment I have ever made.

Awesome, thanks for the input.

I did some research and I have narrowed my new iron set down. The main thing now is I don't know if I should get cavity backs (CG Red, Titleist 755, or Mizuno MP-60's) or blades (CG1 Black Pearl, Titleist 695MB, or Mizuno MP-67's). More help would be again, greatly appreciated.

I could give you inputs if you're talking about Mizuno or Titleist. I've hit both MP-32 and 695MB. I also happen to own MP-60. But first let's get back to you. Which one do you prefer? Pure blades or cavity blades? I'm not talking cavity cavity like CG Gold, X20, S9, etc. Not even CG Red or X-20 Tour that kind of type. I won't go down to the forgiveness topic, because I believe even using cavity blade there's little to no such thing in between. Either you hit good or bad. Using blades requires you to possess an excellent skill in ball striking. No mistakes such as pop ups, casting, fat, thin shots, etc. None of all those.

Let's get to MP-60 first, I can honestly say they're very good although you can spot the cavity a bit on address with the long irons. Every pure shots has an excellent soft feel. Do yourself a favor and lightly tap your thigh with the palm of your hand, that's how it feels. Every bad shot gives you feedback like knocking the knuckle of your middle finger on wooden table but with more sting. The difference between MP-32 and MP-60 is that the MP-60 has slightly larger face and sweet spot, therefore if you're not a perfect hitter who hits only little bit off then this is good for you. That's one of the forgiveness thing. The stunning feel between the two is the same so don't worry about that. I'm sure MP-67 feels the same way, but note that it is intended for even lower handicap player than MP-32. Imagine how better golfer you need to be using MP-67. I did demo 695MB few times and last time was like 2 weeks ago. I think it felt more harder/dead not as soft as Mizuno. But don't get me wrong 695MB is a solid set of player irons, but I'd choose Mizuno MP-32 over 695MB. That's just personal preference, while the excellency of ball striking skill is still mandatory. I also tried my friend's TaylorMade RAC MB TP just last night at the range and oh boy Mizuno is still better in the department of feel. I hope this helps, but it's best if you can actually try before you buy them.

FYI, every so often GlobalGolf.com will have a set of cg1 bp's in great condition for ~$400. - Rob

Mizuno MP-57's. Hit the TaylorMade R7 TP irons before you buy anything. Most forgiving "players iron" on the market IMO.
