Cleveland Tour Action Irons Review – Still Good And Forgiving For High Handicappers?

cleveland tour irons

“The Cleveland Tour Action irons were made to resemble blades but provide the forgiveness of cavity back irons.”

There were a few different iterations of the Cleveland Tour Action irons but for this review, I tested the Cleveland Tour Action 7 irons. This is the latest, and some would argue, greatest version of the Tour Action irons.

With these irons, Cleveland was really trying to bridge the gap between game improvement and players performance. Did they succeed? Are the Cleveland Tour Action irons any good for high handicappers? Read on to find out.

Are Cleveland Tour Action Irons Still Good?

“The Cleveland Tour Action irons have a very unique feature that I don’t think I’ve seen in any other irons.”

At least, not in any irons I can remember. The feature I’m talking about is the “Micro Cavity.” There are about five little chambers bored into the back of the topline. The purpose of these tiny chambers is to lighten the top portion of the head so that the center of gravity is shifted downward.

This design also helps to move more weight to the perimeter of the head where it can provide more forgiveness. The Cleveland Tour Action irons also feature the Vibration Absorption Technology that Cleveland actually patented.

The Cleveland Tour Action irons are cavity backs with progressive offset. At address, you can see the cavity undercut jut out a bit behind the relatively thin top line. You’re not going to be fooled into thinking you’re playing blades but they do have a clean look for cavity backs.

The Cleveland Tour Action irons also have a healthy face depth. There is enough real estate up and down the face to eliminate your thin shots. However, I did have some issues with digging.

Overall though, the Cleveland Tour Action irons have a light, wieldy feel. I found myself falling into a groove with them relatively quickly.

Are the Cleveland Tour Action Irons Forgiving for High Handicappers?

“The best thing about the Cleveland Tour Action irons for high handicappers is that they have a big sweet spot.”

After just a few swings, I found the rhythm of these irons and was able to hit the expansive sweet spot consistently. The offset is generous in the long irons which didn’t look great to me; but it did provide excellent forgiveness.

The combination of the pronounced offset and the large sweet spot made the long irons in this set very easy to manage. And the long irons are notorious for giving neophyte players trouble so I would say that these irons are forgiving for high handicappers.

The large cavity back design helps to push mass towards the perimeter of the head. This stabilizes much of your common mis-hits.

The distance I was getting from these irons was a bit above average. With the 7-iron, I was averaging 158.7 yards. The dispersion was also reasonably tight when I stayed within the scoring lines.

And while the sweet spot is wide and hard to miss, if you do manage to miss it, don’t expect much forgiveness. On shots that missed the sweet spot, my ball was picking up a ton of spin and losing a lot of speed. As a result, my divergence widened and my carry distance dropped.

Cleveland Tour Action Vs Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

“The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo’s are hybrid irons with a hollow body design.”

The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons also come stock with counterbalanced shafts. The Launcher XL Halo irons are extremely forgiving but they offer no workability. Also, if you aren’t used to counterbalanced shafts, they may feel weird to you. I would only recommend the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons to pure beginners.

Cleveland Tour Action First Impressions

cleveland tour irons

“I liked the fact that the Cleveland Tour Action irons did in fact offer a moderate degree of workability in a forgiving iron.”

They don’t really look like blades which is something I was expecting and hoping for. But I was able to work the ball left and right to a moderate degree. They aren’t massive irons. Instead, they have a moderate head size which strikes a really good balance between forgiveness and versatility.

Cleveland Tour Action Selling Points

  • Micro cavities
  • Progressive offset
  • Good face depth
  • Vibration absorption system
  • Large sweet spot

Cleveland Tour Action Key Technology

Vibration absorption system.

The VAS is designed to smooth out those harsh vibrations when you miss the sweet spot. I had no problem with the feel of these irons. They felt smooth and consistent all across the face.

Micro Cavities

The small cavities bored behind the top line work to redistribute weight low in the club head. They also appear to be filled with some sort of polymer or urethane which may contribute to the smooth feel.

Deep Face Profile

The deep face profile makes it much more difficult to hit the ball thin. For me though, the same feature was causing me to dig more than usual on the fairway.

Cleveland Tour Action Loft & Lie

Who should buy the cleveland tour action irons.

cleveland tour irons

“This was a tricky one to decide.”

First of all, I would say that Cleveland did in fact do a good job of making an iron that was at once forgiving and workable. The Cleveland Tour Action irons are inherently forgiving and it takes extreme mis-hits to affect their accuracy.

They can be point-and-shoot irons, and for more skilled players, they can be worked side-to-side a bit. So in the end, I suppose these irons would work for high and mid handicappers. Pretty much anyone in the 12-24 handicap range.

Distance: 96/100

Forgiveness: 96/100, workability: 96/100, overall performance: 96/100, value: 97/100.

A very different finish that looks fantastic behind the ball. More forgiving on mishits than many of the smaller-headed models. However, this 
is at the expense of a little feel. Appealing compact look at address, but with the technology to aid forgiveness. The back of the clubhead has an unnecessarily fussy design.

Cleveland CG4 Tour Better Player Irons Review

Last Updated: 26 November 2015

cleveland tour irons

At a glance

  • TG Rating Not yet rated
  • Owner Rating 5 out of 5
  • RRP £199.00

What we say...

The Cleveland CG4 Tour irons combine the benefits of CG2 and CG4 irons to create one of the most versatile sets in golf. These clubs have a shorter blade length than the original CG4 irons, resulting in a compact head for increased workability. Progressive offset throughout the set promotes east-to-hit long irons with more workability and trajectory control in the short irons. With a thin topline, the Cleveland CG4 Tour irons appeal to the better player's eye.

5 out of 5 Long hitting and very forgiving 23 May 2011

By thebeef2403

I bought these when i started getting into golf about 6 months ago. As a beginner with a handicap of 23, my opinion my not be the best, but they are very easy to use very forgiving. You also get a lot of power from them with all the accuracy you need. I really like these clubs, they have deffinitly improved my game and im sure the handicap will come down drematically when i can learn to hit a wood properly, with out loosing a ball. Really would recomend these.

5 out of 5 great feel 21 February 2010

I bought these after changing from some harsh feeling nike irons the difference is fantastic Cleveland make some of the best clubs I've ever hit with soft but responsive these have got me down to 7 from 14 you can shape the ball easily and they give the best feeback i've ever got from a set of irons thanks Cleveland.

Nice review. Would you compare the feel similar to Titleiest MB's?

Great review... I honestly have always been curious about the CG1's... But never read anything that pushed me further into exploring them as a real option but this review has changed that.. I need to go check these out. Thank you!

I really do believe these are worth a serious look for the blade player. I know the long irons are a CB, but you wouldn't know it at address. They are the same size as the other irons, and the fractional extra margin for error they provide is probably a good thing.

Great review, that iron looks really good!

Thanks, bud. I had a chance to get a little more work in off the turf today, and I have to say I'm not sold. In the northeast, I'm not playing off of hardpan on a regular basis. I like everything else about these clubs, but there's simply nothing to shallow out their path through the ground. For the pure sweeper, I would imagine these play like a dream. This is not a fault exclusive to the CG1. As I mentioned above, the Mizuno MP-62 (as well as pretty much anything in their MP-line), and Miura's Tournament Blade and CB-202 all suffer from the same ailment. I honestly may just hit the leading edges with a grinding wheel and see if we can't get the short irons to behave properly.

[quote name='scott_Donald' timestamp='1302288800' post='3133305'] almost look like mp29s... but smoother... look good... thanks for the review... why such flexy shafts though in your irons - you did say you dont like s300 but why??? [/quote] I have no idea, to be honest. I really don't like DGs that much, but I've always gotten along better with R300s. Could be a tempo thing, or the lack of lag that I create, I don't know. All I know is at impact I maintain some leverage, I hit it off the button more often than not (certainly not amazing, but if you look closely at the blurry pictures you'll see ball marks in the middle of the face), and flight it with a mid trajectory. I wish I could give you some better data, but I guess its a feel thing. Other iron shafts I like: KBS Tour (prefer 5.5 hardstepped, but 6.5 softstepped also works) Project X 5.5, ZZ65s, and DG Lite X100.

  • 2 weeks later...

The final verdict: These clubs simply do not have enough bounce for my swing and the turf conditions I see regularly. They are made for the sweeper, or at the very least someone playing a bulk of their rounds on fine fescue (they are INCREDIBLE out of the rough though). Just hitting the leading edge with a grinding wheel wouldn't be enough to speed these things out of the turf for a digger. The flight on them is pretty perfect to my eye and shaping shots is a breeze. The ever so slight reduction of depth to muscle has increased one's margin for error fractionally, a nice bonus for the mid single digit looking to game a players club (like the sweet spot goes from a dime to a nickel). Perhaps the best feature, for many of the members here apparently, is the finish. Many blades and players clubs today are shiny chrome. These clubs have a gorgeous satin chrome finish that is absolutely top notch. I can't speak to the durability of said finish, but in terms of looks out of the box...there may not be a better looking set in the domestic market. Cleveland has a winner here for the better player, but I would need the Tour Department to help me out with the sole if they were going to make my bag. I hope someone finds this useful, and I would love to see Cleveland take these notes to heart.

Cleveland Irons by Year: 30+ Years of Underrated History

When thinking about Cleveland, one of the words that come to mind is underrated.

The brand has produced some seriously good clubs in years gone by, yet it has rarely been referred to as one of the top club-makers like TaylorMade or Titleist.

It was founded by Roger Cleveland in 1979 as Cleveland Classics. However, many of the original products sold were replica clubs from the 1940s and 50s.

Wedges helped to make Cleveland’s name though and the 588 wedges became renowned in the world of golf.

In 1990, Skis Rossignol, a ski equipment manufacturer, purchased the company, changed the name to Cleveland Golf, and introduced woods and irons.

More recently, Cleveland Golf has explored a transition from players’ irons to game improvement. So, let’s take a look at how that came to be with each of the Cleveland irons by year.

Cleveland Iron Sets by Year: Full List

Will there be new cleveland irons in 2024, cleveland irons from the 2000s, cleveland irons from the 2010s, cleveland irons from the 2020s, understanding the evolution of cleveland irons over the years, be mindful of your handicap, don’t go over budget, they need to look the part in your eyes, final thoughts, when did cleveland stop making irons, do any pros use cleveland irons, when did the cleveland rtx 4 come out.

We took a trip down memory lane and into the Cleveland archive to find a full list of all of its irons including Cleveland Tour Action irons and its year made:

Cleveland Golf is releasing wedges in 2024. The RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge were released early in 2024 and builds on the popular ZipCore Wedges offering plenty of bite and spin.

Cleveland Golf is also releasing CBX Full-Face 2 wedges with forgiving soles that will reduce chunky shots and help mid to high handicappers.

Top Cleveland Irons Over the Years

Cl-s02227-kbput401z6

Launcher Irons

The original Launcher irons date back to 2004. The forgiving irons came with great amounts of stability and a low and deep center of gravity.

Hi Bore Irons

In 2009, the Hi Bore XLI irons were released following on from a couple of irons before that. The irons offer more distance, forgiveness, and consistency too. They were hybrid irons with a fully hollow construction for a solid feel.

Launcher-cbx-8771-1 1

Launcher CBX Irons

2017 saw the launch of the Launcher CBX version. A cavity back and the Launcher cup face aid distance and wedge spin technology provides control of the shots too.

588 Forged CB Irons

The Forged CB Cleveland irons were tailored towards a golfer of a lower handicap. They have been crafted with a softer, 1025 carbon steel metal for a better feel. The surface of the club face is rough to add extra spin too.

Cleveland-launcher-xl-iron-set

Launcher XL

There have actually only been two new irons this decade, but they are solid options. The Launcher XL is focused on forgiveness and control. It has a huge head with the most MOI in a Cleveland iron at the time – it is  XL in every way.

Launcher XL Halo

The Launcher XL Halo comes with a hybrid-iron design. The focus of these irons is to enable you to produce a more consistent shot. This is thanks to the large face, decreased CG, and wide sole which means you can hit cleaner shots more often.

VAS irons were the first irons that Cleveland made. They were even in the bag of Corey Pavin, a world number two once, and he won the U.S. Open in 1995 with them.

They were actually quite innovative at the time with a hosel that was moved back, perimeter weighting, and progressive offset. It all pointed to a game improvement iron.

However, the VAS irons and the following VAS 792s weren’t the most aesthetically pleasing irons and never really took off.

Then came the Cleveland Tour Action irons with a release date in 1998. The Tour Action irons and variations of these regularly came out until 2004, and the Cleveland TA7 irons were released in the year of 2011, a little later.

Between this was the notable Cleveland CG4 irons made in the year 2005.

Back onto the Tour Action irons though, the hint is in the name – Tour. They were better-looking clubs but could be hard to hit and lacked forgiveness.

Though, from the TA-4s to the TA7s, they were dubbed as irons that were more forgiving and pretty solid game-improvement irons.

Just after 2010, the CG16 irons came out. These were aimed at mid-handicappers. The clubs focused on optimizing forgiveness, control, and distance for each shot with a large, thin face and milled face grooves.

Cleveland then flirted with players’ irons again as the 588 Forged irons came out. These irons came with a great feel, minimal offset, and a rough face for maximized spin.

In 2017, the Launcher CBX irons came out. All of Cleveland’s irons since then have been Launcher-driven and concentrated on maximizing distance and precision. The Launcher cup face and a thicker top line on the long irons helped achieve this.

Its most recent irons in 2022 saw XL versions of the Launcher club. They are very forgiving and stable thanks to, you guessed it, a bigger head. Additionally, there is the highest-ever MOI  in the 7-iron for a game-improvement iron.

It is actually one of the best irons around for newer golfers .

Cleveland has tailored its offering to higher handicappers and does not offer the golfers with a lower handicap  much of a choice now. But, that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Better golfers will not be short of options across other brands.

Tips for choosing the right cleveland iron set for your game.

Golfer-hitting-ball-with-club-on-beautiful-golf-co-2022-12-03-06-36-04-utc

Your handicap can be a good indication of which Cleveland iron. Higher handicappers will be better off using game improvement irons that are designed for distance and forgiveness. The Launcher XL and Launcher XL irons should suit you.

If you are of a lower handicap and looking to improve the finer details in your game then players irons will probably be for you.

Cleveland flirted with players irons with the 588 Forged CB irons. That was thanks to the softer metal, rough surface face, and minimal offset.

It is important to note that if you are of a higher handicap that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to look at irons to suit better-quality golfers or aspire to play with them. With your current ability, you would probably find it tougher to get the best out of them so you should suit game improvement irons more.

You need to consider how much you are going to spend on new irons. You could have found a set of irons that, on paper, look and read like they will enhance your game ten folds but they cost $800 and that may be out of your budget. It’s never worth breaking the bank for some new irons. Don’t force it.

There will be cheaper alternatives that you can buy that can be very similar. Additionally, if you really wanted a specific club but didn’t want to pay the premium price, it may be worth looking at where you can get used Cleveland irons instead.

If your new Cleveland irons look the part, you will probably feel the part too. What I mean by that is if you are very pleased with the look and design of your new irons, it will bring about confidence that you are going to play well in them and enjoy using them.

For example, if you are a high handicapper and have a thick topline in your club or a large club head, it may provide some comfort knowing that it is more forgiving than other clubs. This will only contribute positively to your game.

Otherwise, if you just have some irons you aren’t encouraged by with a design you aren’t very keen on, you may lack confidence in your setup and which could impact your swing and connection with the ball. Before you know it, you are heading for a poor game.

Now you know all there is to know about Cleveland irons by year. The only person that can decide if they are underrated is you though, so if you are of a higher handicap it may be worth giving some of Cleveland’s recent irons a go.

Whether the brand’s irons will return to the full market in the future, who knows? But for now, it’s been an interesting journey, that’s for sure…

Cleveland’s last iron was the Launcher XL back in March 2022. It is reported by DNA Sports that Cleveland Golf won’t produce irons, drivers, fairway woods, or hybrids for the full market anymore. Instead, it is focusing on wedges and small parts of the metalwoods and irons market.

A lot of Pros would tend to associate Cleveland with wedges rather than its irons as they are made for higher handicappers. In terms of wedges though, Hideki Matsuyama has used the RTX 4 Forged Prototype clubs before. Keegan Bradley, Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka, and Matt Kuchar have all used the RTX ZipCore Raw  wedges too.

Across the USA and Europe, Cleveland’s RTX 4 wedge came out on September 14, 2018. At the time, it would cost golfers $139.99. Since its release, it has been used by PGA Tour Pros like Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell.

Cleveland Halo XL Full-Face Iron Review

T he Cleveland Halo XL Full-Face irons are certainly not subtle. Their extremely large head profile, coupled with a very unusual matt black cavity insert make for a striking visual. Packed with some interesting features, I was keen to get them to the course and try them out to see if they could rank alongside the best game improvement irons …

From a shelf appeal point of view, eye-catching is probably the best description I can come up with. Some people will love them while others won't... Either way, I would bet most people in a shop will take a closer look just to figure out what is going on.

Aside from the head-size and the unusual back, the sole is probably the most unorthodox part of this iron. Or should I say, soles plural. That's because Cleveland has introduced what it refers to as ‘three sole transition’, which essentially means that the sole topography changes throughout the set. 

The longer Irons (4–7-iron) feature Cleveland’s GlideRail soles, which are designed to improve turf interaction and promote solid contact on the shallower attack angles of the long irons. Into the short Irons (8–9-iron), and they feature V-Shaped soles, designed to cut through turf so you can hit down on the ball without digging. The wedges (PW–SW) feature a more cambered ‘Three-Tiered’ Sole for maximum forgiveness on pitches, chips, and bunker shots. All of them however are very wide. More on that later…

Other notable tech features include the full-face grooves that are nestled into the A.I.-designed ‘Mainframe’ face. 

The full-face groove movement is something that is really growing on me, almost to the point where I don’t really know why it’s not been universally adopted yet. With manufacturers clambering to save even the smallest amount of weight to distribute precisely where they want, why not mill out a little more from the face, and in doing so increase the usable surface? 

In this particular instance it really does serve to increase confidence. The already substantial clubface is enhanced even more by the extension of the grooves all the way to the perimeter, and the usable hitting area just looks huge which is obviously a big plus for the target demographic of this iron.

From a performance standpoint, I was genuinely impressed by the Halo XL Full-Face irons. I tested them using Taylormade TP5x golf balls and my SkyTrak+ launch monitor and the data was very solid. They gave me the second longest carry of any game improvement iron I have tested this year, behind only the Cobra Darkspeed . However, it probably provided me with a slightly more optimal ball flight than the Cobra iron from marginally higher launch and spin numbers.

The sole is really interesting and I think all sorts of different swing types will find success with it. On the tight links turf of Saunton Golf Club , I found that it allowed me to swing fairly steeply into the turf without any fear of digging and when I wanted to sweep one off the top a little more, the sole width seemed to compliment that delivery too throughout the set.

One slight reservation I had was performance out of the rough. I was interested to see how they would cope with a ball sat down in some fairly juicy lies, so I chucked a few into the long stuff to find out. When the ball wasn’t too low into the grass, they were great, however as the lies got worse, I did find the additional mass of the head snagged up a bit and maybe didn’t cut through the grass as easily as a more narrow sole iron. 

They are not alone in this, the Eleven Golf hybrid irons that I recently tested had the same issue, you just have to weigh it up with the benefits the sole provides from everywhere else. A very minor point, but worth noting.

The feel and sound is pretty lively which I really liked. Impact does feel a touch more hybrid like, rather than resembling some of the best golf irons for example, but I felt that feel and acoustic actually suited them. They don't claim to offer a soft, buttery, forged feel, or maximum workability, and the powerful, lively sensation really matches up with the overall personality of this iron.

Available in 4 iron through to SW, a full set in KBS Tour Lite steel will cost you $899.99 and the stock graphite UST Helium Nanocore comes in at $999.99.

The Cleveland Halo XL Full-Face iron was created to make the game as easy as possible, and in my eyes at least, it’s mission accomplished.

Wonderful Article! tstoto tstoto tstoto tstoto

The CG1 irons feature a classic blade design, appealing to golfers who prefer a compact and traditional look at address. Blade irons typically offer precision and workability but require a higher level of skill to consistently strike. by tstoto

No weaknesses. All very good.

Gradually got them working. Second time on the driving range, disaster. So, off to the course and WOW! What a difference! These clubs are tremendous. I have never hit anything that goes this straight. Jackson truck oil change

First off I guess this review will be slightly biased to being favourable for the following reason. I bought these clubs for £50 on ebay 3 days ago. they arrived yesterday and today I took them straight onto the course having never hit them, to play in competition. Hole 11, 166 yard Par 3 over water to green, 9 iron. I hit the perfect shot and the ball flew exactly where I wanted to to allow the green contours to run the ball to the hole. It checked, rolled and slid perfectly into the hole. I've been playing for 34 years and its my first ever ace. So part of this review is me really just taking the chance to record the fact somewhere online for the sake of it, the other reason is that if your after a set of blades then I wouldn't look much further than these. I have probably in the past 2-3 years been through a good 30-40 sets of irons. Ive hit virtually all the brands, and all their 'players' type blades or forged irons. These are up there with the very best. The heads feel to me quite heavy, fitted with an S300 shaft, and you can really feel the club head through the swing. They are a muscleback iron, and you can feel the benefit. I play off 5 and shot 2 over gross today, the hole in one obviously helped but I hit 83% of greens in reg. The heads are slightly larger than a compact blade (in comparison to my other set of Razr X Prototype irons) but still look great behind the ball and inspire confidence. They offer great feel and workability. It was blowing a gale today and as and when I needed to knock them in low or hold shots up in the wind with extra clubs then they performed great. Shelf appeal is amazing, they look fantastic. All in all a great set of irons that will stay in the bag for a good while. Try them if your after this type of club and second hand you will get a set at a great price. Thanks for reading, hope it helps

Astonishing clubs, these are real game changers. I have tried scores of sets and this set stands out by a mile. Small heads initially scared the hell out of me but minimal offset (i mean virtually none)surprisingly means no shanks, ever!! there is no hozel to shank off, its almost flush, so the hitting area is actually easier to strike. I would agree with previous reviews however, distance is slightly less. PW 110 for me, (Swing speed 95 with driver) 9 125, 8 137, 7 145. 6 152, 5 160, 4 168, 3 175. However distance is irrelevant when the 4 iron fly's like a six and lands just as soft. They just go, exactly where you aim. as a previous review said, draws and fades (on demand) are really nice gentle amounts, no hooks or slices. Distance is consistent - if you have a Bushnell and learn your clubs, hit it on line and wait to see how close you are. Here's the truth, sometimes these clubs feel "harsh" on shots not very well struck. Whatever you do, don't confuse harsh with unforgiving, there is a major difference. Harsh means you know when you have hit a poor shot (usually a little thin in my case) unforgiving, would mean you are punished for a poor shot and with these it's just amazing, I cant tell you how many "harsh" shots I have hit on par 3s and ended up 6-10 feet from the pin. So there you go, harsh with the CG1s teaches you to not make that mistake again without affecting your round. That said, they are actually more fun to hit than any other club. Oh and by the way, when you do miss the green (which will not be much) these are real special for chipping up to the pin. I do actually think these are the best set of clubs ever made. I think an 18 handicap could play with these, they are that good. Club/turf interaction is astonishing with shallow, small divots flipping up just in front of you. Great out of the rough and knock down shots are a dream. see the list of the clubs I can remember owning/trying and you will understand when I say these are the stand out set of the last 20 years. AWESOME JOB CLEVELAND and thank you for making golf a pleasure.

I bought these a week ago looking for an iron that would give me better control of my golf ball. The Ping i3's I was using would not allow me to hit a small fade or draw. I could hook or slice the heck out of the ball, but subtle draws and fades were darn near impossible. These are the best irons I have ever hit. YES, when you miss hit one, you KNOW it, but my misses with these are still WAY better than with cavity backs. I hit more greens with these, 11 out of 18, than I have in months. Best of all, I got these on ebay, in like new condition, for 120 bucks with the stock stiff shaft and grips. Great sticks.

Ping i3's, Nickent 4DX, King Cobra.

I have used game improvement irons for a few years.I have played league for a few years and have always been the "last guy to tee off" which means I averaged a 110 and up handicap. Have been a "hacker" for too long. I was frustrated to the point of giving up the game because I am an ex-athlete and am not used to sucking!! After giving away my Titleist 990's, which were hard as heck to hit, I found a used set of cg1 blades. My first round with them was a 105, next round 101, next round 97, next round a 95, and yesterday a 92. Do you need to be a scratch golfer to hit these? Not at all, just a steady swing and focus. I never knew cleveland made such nice irons, have always liked their wedges, but you are going to love these things, trust me!! I am no longer the "last guy" on my team, I have moved up four spots on the tee time list. Only thing that changed was the cg1's, you judge for yourself. Oh by the way, got the set for $150!

titleist 990, cobra, ping g10, ping g5,taylormade r9, mizuno mp33(sweet!),callaway(ughhh!)

I just picked up a set of the Cleveland CG1 irons at a golf show. I tested out the Ben Hogan Apex irons, the Titleist 690.MB and these. Honestly, I thought that the 690s felt a lot softer and smoother. This may be on account of the different materials used. The sets were priced the same and the CG1s were in much better shape and so I ended up buying them. I spent approximately 5 hours over the next two days at the driving range hitting these clubs. I will note right away that I normally use a set of Mizuno MX900 GI irons, and will likely continue to play with them for awhile. However, like the poster before me, I do believe the best GI clubs are a set of blades. I learned more over this last weekend hitting the CG1s than I have with the MX900s, simply on account of the feedback I received. Hard to put into words, but when I did something wrong with the CG1s, I knew exactly what I did wrong. It is much more difficult to fine tune your swing with something like the MX900s. Simply put, the CG1s are exactly what I was looking for, a club that will tell me, "hey stupid, don't do that, see what happens when you do." I think for the price that these are going for, they are worth having, if not to play on the course...yet, then to practice with. My swing has improved DRAMATICALLY over this last weekend, and in large part I have these clubs to thank. Good Luck.

690.MB, BH Apex (as mentioned)

After playing TA3's for many years I started looking for a set of blades. I demoed several different brands, but I always seem to come back to Cleveland. They just fit me right and have the best feel through the entire set. Appearance: These are simply gorgeous looking clubs from every angle. They setup perfect and alignment is very easy Feel: Like all blades, you have to hit it solid to appreciate the buttery feel of these. I'm a decent ball striker, but on occasion will toe one. I like the feedback on good and bad shots. Distance: Solid hits, I've gained about 5-8 yards. Off center hits, lose about 10yards. So, if you consistently mis-hit your irons do not get these. You will not like them. Overall: I absolutely love these clubs. The first round(9 holes) with these I shot even par. A few weeks later had my 1st hole in one. I also had consistent rounds in the low/mid 70's. I'm sticking my irons close more than ever. I give full credit to these irons.

  1. Cleveland Tour Action Irons Review

    "The Cleveland Tour Action irons were made to resemble blades but provide the forgiveness of cavity back irons." There were a few different iterations of the Cleveland Tour Action irons but for this review, I tested the Cleveland Tour Action 7 irons. This is the latest, and some would argue, greatest version of the Tour Action irons.

  2. Cleveland Tour Action TA-3 Irons

    Model Reviewed: Cleveland TA-3 S400 Sensicore. Just a super all around set. Compact, blade like with a cavity back, and just a slight bit of offset. Easy to work both ways and hit high, low, draw or fade. If you can find a set in nice shape they are quite a value! OVERALL. RATING. 5. ★★★★★.

  4. Cleveland CG1 Tour Iron Set at InTheHoleGolf.com

    Cleveland CG1 Tour Iron Set. The "new" CG1 Tour irons are designed for consistent ball striking, distance control and a new level of forgiveness never seen before in a blade. The split cavity back long irons and muscle back mid/short irons maintain a traditional look while providing extra forgiveness and the workability and feel of a blade.

  5. Cleveland CG16 Tour irons
