Since being introduced in 2007, Cleveland's CG irons have been incredibly successful for this long-established golf company. The latest incarnation is the Cleveland CG7 Irons 2009, a Tour version of which is also available.
The 2010 CG7 irons are a very different beast, to their 2009 predecessors, packed with performance-enhancing technology. The most noticeable is perhaps the attention that has been paid to the grooves. Fresh from the success of their Zip Grooves, Cleveland engineers took the somewhat radical decision to transfer the same technology from wedges to irons.
As we all know, grooves mean grip, grip means spin and when it comes to irons, spin means lift and flight. Clearly, the thinking is that milled Zip Grooves that are 35% bigger than the grooves from previous models and will help players to hit crisper, more towering tee-shots. Certainly I found it to be the case with these.
And there's more! Not content with adding Zip Grooves to the irons, Cleveland has also added technology from the latest CG15 wedges. Having researched the optimum way of adding face abrasiveness, it was found that rather than sand-blasting, laser-milled micro-grooves between the standard grooves was even more effective. I have no spin data to reportbut I can tell you that striking these irons is a very enjoyable experience.
I feel I can work the ball more effectively thanks the Gelback Technology that dominates. It's a lightweight, injection-moulded insert that covers the entire perimeter of the cavity and the base of the head. This visco-elastic covering will greatly benefit those players at the upper end of the scale, dampening vibrations on off-centre hits and making these irons feel playable for more golfers.
In summary, thisCG7iron has an improve feel, distance and forgiveness. I find it helps me focus better and the head design and the uncluttered rear cavity combine to give a really classical look that also has a modern twist. It's a very appealing package.
