On 2009-01-27, srushing rated this Cleveland CG Gold a 4...(8277)
Details: Standard everything; stiff flex shafts
Purchase: $599 for steel shafts; from my local pro shop.
Pros: So these, much like the CG Red have a nice look and setup. The Gold insert in the back could have been a little more subtle to me. Ball control wise I was able to work these more so than the CG Reds. Ball dispersion was very tight, a little tighter than the RED. Distance didn't seem as long as the CG Red though, but not a huge difference. Club feel was more responsive than the CG RED.
Cons: Again, the size of the Gold insert was a little more than it had to be I think. Otherwise, only the lack of being able to substitute hybrids for the low irons was about my only negative comment
Quality: Great quality Review Summary: Worth considering; These didn't fly as far as the CG Red but gave more control and a tighter shot pattern than the CG Red. Nice clubs

Details: Cleveland CG Gold irons 3 thru pw stock stiff steel shaft +1/4', stock grip purchased new.
Purchase: Purchased these irons from Golfsmith while on sale(saved 10% off the published price). I purchased these because the Wilson Ci6's I purchased last year seemed to lack feel in the long irons.Overall they felt too light vs my previous set (cleveland TA7).
Pros: What do I like about them? Damn near everything. Less offset than the TA7,better than average distance,nice weight (balanced)by that, I mean you are able to tell where the club is during the swing. I think (my humble opinion)Cleveland is one of the best at achieving this feel and balance. Yes,the insert really works because I tested it in some very cold weather and no sting. The heads are only slightly oversize,the sole is not wide although the top line is but it's not really noticeable in the playing position. Forgiving, but you can work them,distance loss is minimal on all but the worst strikes and you can tell where you struck the ball on the club face. The flighted shaft is a real plus. Now on to what I don't like.
Cons: What don't I like about these? Overall I'm extremely satisfied although the stock grips feel a bit soft and will probably wear fast,maybe a slightly thinner topline. If you were to say why didn't you buy the reds? I almost did but I felt the little extra forgiveness you get with the gold was a plus. When choosing between the red and gold irons regardless of being a low or mid handicap you won't make a bad choice. Keep in mind if you tend to hover in say the 18 to 20 range neither of these iron sets is for you unless you at least come close striking your irons with some consistency.
Quality: Overall construction,look and finish is excellent,although the ferruls on mine could have been a little neater. Review Summary: I hit a lot of different irons before purchasing these and would suggest that approach to your next iron purchase to everyone. I have played Mizuno,taylormade,titlest,cobra,wilson,and a few others but I always come back to cleveland.
