Today, Cleveland is announcing the two newest additions to its 588 line of irons. This set is called 588 MT and it’s designed to fit seamlessly into a mixed set with either the 588 Altitude or 588 TT irons. Considering that Cleveland is going to continue to produce both the 588 CB and MB irons, they have amassed a complete line of irons under the 588 umbrella that should fit just about any golfer.
MT stands for Mid Trajectory and Cleveland is categorizing this set as playable by golfers of all levels of ability.

Product Features
Cleveland is categorizing the various performance qualities of the 588 MT irons under three headings – Flight, Forgiveness, and Feel.
Flight
- Engineered for Mid Trajectory – Constant blade length throughout the set, blade height progressively increases in higher-lofted clubs. Easy-to-hit long irons are blended with more traditional short irons.
Forgiveness
- Full Hollow Construction – High performance in a playable design. Advanced internal weighting adds forgiveness and promotes a lower, deeper center of gravity for optimal launch and effortless distance.
Feel
- Face Forged Technology – Every iron has a forged club face to enhance ball speed and feel.
- Vibration Dampening – Multi-material insert of polymer and aluminum in iron plaque dampens vibration at impact for more consistent feel.
- Fully Customizable – Part of the 588 Irons Family, Mid Trajectory Irons can be easily interchanged with 588 Tour Trajectory and Altitude Irons to customize a set with the perfect combination of ball flight, feel, and forgiveness.
I don’t know why I expect something different in the design, they look forgiving. With those lofts there us some distance behind these bad boys. Upon initial glance, I think I will need to get these in hand and see how they preform.
I agree with Freddie, these look forgiving and that is exactly what I wanted to see. Love the fact that a 49* option is available in this set as that fills a much needed gap in my game.
Curious to hear more about these shafts and how they compare to something like the Tour 90’s or PX flighted which I am a bit more accustomed to. 85 grams is putting them in that same range.
I think there will be a lot of people who like the look, they do look good. It looks to me like they’re more of a SGI and should fit in great with the other offerings from Cleveland’s line of CB’s and MB’s. I imagine we’ll see a few sets of these in Morgan Cuppers bags in July.
Very interesting set of irons.
loft matching across 3 sets is a genius move by Cleveland, as well as building upon the technology and success of the 588 line into an “all-ability” iron. well done Cleveland, well done.
