  1. I’m a 3 handicapper and I really enjoy these irons…
    Picked them up in 2011 for my last season playing college Golf… Used them
    at the RCGA tournament…I think they’re great! Great price point too 

  3. I have these and I have played about 35 rounds with them. At first, I
    played them at standard lie and standard length and with good results. I
    finally took them to Golf Galaxy with me a few weeks ago and hit them off a
    lie board and found out I needed them to be bent upright 2*. Since doing
    that, I hit these things long and straight; whereas before, I pushed them
    out to the right a lot on par 3s and approach shots. I am between a 12 and
    a 16 HCP throughout the year. I have a driver swing-speed of about 95 to
    100 MPH. During the warm months I hit the PW 135ish, 9i 145/150ish, 8i
    160ish, 7i around 172, 6i around 185, 5i 200. They do have a nice mid to
    high launch as Mark points out. I can work them a little bit although I am
    just beginning to get better at that. I can hit a nice cut shot with the
    the 5i when slightly blocked out from my target. I can also draw them into
    a par 3 when needed (not that I always do it when I try but they can be
    worked is all I am saying). I also have Dynamic Gold R300 shafts on mine,
    2* bent up, and standard length (although Golf Galaxy told me to have 1/4″
    taken off after bending them upright but I just had new grips put on so
    that will have to wait. And, I might not shorten them with the way they
    have been playing for me since having them bent upright). Hope this helps
    someone.

  6. There was a golf digest article on this recently. The ONLY advantage to
    mats they say is forgiveness on fat shots, which will bounce into the ball
    instead of digging. Aside from that, you loose distance and spin off of
    mats as clubs and balls were designed for grass. Also they mentioned, and I
    know this from experience, unless you use high performance mats, you’re
    going to be more injury prone as the hard rubber and turf can
    cause/exacerbate strains, tendonitis, etc…. Plus, chicks dig grass.

  7. Mark, I would very much appreciate a video on drills for getting your
    weight through. Or at least a redirection to a video you’ve already done.
    Thanks!

  10. @iVisioNXBL yes it does rub off very quickly and soon becomes a regular
    chrome steel effect. I would recommend getting satin irons as chrome glares
    and the black rubs. Hope this helps!

  14. Hey Mark,, Will these irons be alright for me,, Im a 5 Handicapper and im
    14, i hit my irons preety well and my long irons i nice hight, im looking
    for clubs for xams and i love cleveland, Do you think they would be
    ideal??? Thanks Ryan

  17. I’m having trouble getting stuck in. Wondering if you could do a video
    explaining the best way to get stuck in– then show us your bag and tell me
    if I should buy these clubs. I’m 90 years old and drive a cheetah print
    golf cart around my community. I normally wear orthopedic moon boots and an
    oversize down jacket (orange) during my rounds. Hopefully after you teach
    me better stuckinedness you can tell me if I should get the black pearl or
    satin chrome. I forgot what I was saying. Where am I?

  19. Hey Mark would these irons be for a high school golfer? my best round is a
    94 and i am looking to improve all the time and i think that these could be
    the irons for me but if you have any advice for me i would love it. Thanks

  20. Hey Mark, do you think hitting off the mats v. off the grass affects the
    ball’s trajectory, spin, etc.? In other words, I wonder if your opinion of
    the clubs you test would differ in any way if you tested them all off the
    grass.

  30. I recently bought a set of of CG7 black pearls that were also supposed to
    have those “zip grooves”. But lo and behold, mine dont have them at all!
    Anyone know why?

  32. Hello, Mark. I was wondering when would be a good time for someone to
    switch from clubs for game improvement to clubs for those with a better
    handicap. Thanks, and I love the videos, keep them coming!

  33. I really like these irons but I was wondering what launch angle for a 6
    iron and 7 iron should be around. So I know where i am at when trying clubs
    on a launch monitor??

  38. Hi Mark – can you please do sth with your twitter account ? It def looks
    like took over by some russian spammer. CHANGE YOU PASSWORD and thx for
    lots of good stuff

  39. Well Done… Production value gets better every week. Love how you are
    editing the sound at impact into the slo-mo shots. Looking forward to CG16
    (non-tour), as well as an all-brands no-holds-barred cage match. As always
    – Thanks! BTW – I’m sure you are enjoying the moment. Your boys sure put on
    a show. I’d like to celebrate a different outcome, but we can both
    celebrate great golf!

  46. Thanks Mark – Good video. Just bought the Cleveland’s CG16’s (not the tour
    version). Have to say I love them. They are longer and I hit them further
    but I think that’s because of the loft is lower per iron than normal. Great
    to see what you think of them so please review. Keep up the good video’s
