For me the main reason is the forgiveness in the long and middle irons. They are like nothing I have ever tried, and yes I have played a looooong time and I am probably not in the "target group" for these irons, but I love them. My friends joke about it but I do not care :giggle:. I was shocked...
I ordered them from eBay through justsaygolfcustom, but I remember seeing the 3 degree flat option on Clevelands official site also. Looking now, and I do not see it, not even graphite stiff is available. Maybe they sold too many :rolleyes:
I say one degree. I always played PING 2 degrees flat, but yes the 5 iron that I ordered first (2 degrees flat) felt upright. The rest of the set I have is 3 degrees flat and sits perfect. And yes flex is definitely softer in graphite, maybe it is the low weight, but I like them.
Also, what i noticed is that misses high on the face (especially on the middle/long irons) takes away a lot of distance. Low on the face not. Hence I do not use a tee on par 3s with these irons.
These irons change my golfgame completely. Before I tried to bomb the driver to have a short iron in because I could not hit anything longer than 8 iron. Some months ago I hit a socket with my 5 iron into the pool on a 195 yard par 3 and then I went home and youtubed easy to hit irons. Saw these...
Maybe you had a good swing day? :) Center hits will work with any golf club. My experience with these irons are that small mishits are almost not punished at all. Still goes long and high.
I have the graphite "stiff", and I like it, but it is far from the stiff I am used to. But with a smooth swing it works well. I can just imagine how "spaghetti" the Regular and Senior shafts are :rolleyes:.
Offset, yes! I hate it. And yes, usually these kind of clubs have a lot but these do not. Cleveland as a brand is very underrated. Ugly, yeah the long irons, agree. Played blades once upon a time :oops:, but I think more and more players will play these kind of "irons" in the future. Might not...
I really like the lower profile (just not hit high on the blade like I did last time) , and longer blades more room for lateral mishits I guess :unsure:
I also use the 4 iron (2 degrees strong, so I assume it is a 2-3 iron really) as a driving iron. Pure monster. Still only have the 4 and 5 iron. I live in the DR and the rest of the set is still in US, coming down in May, cannot wait. Last time I played I used it on all par 4s and on the long...
I ordered a 4 iron, 3 flat and 2 strong. Already shipped and will arrive this week. I will compare it to my 5 iron that is normal loft and keep you updated.
Well so they say. But yeah the strike pattern in this video, pretty similar. And yeah of course it is personal and I like the fade so. Also, I am used to smaller drivers. I gamed the first big Berthas and then the Titleist 975D. I will stay with the SLDR 430 (and btw have the 460s but prefer the...
