Cleveland CG Black and CG Black CB irons

Published

on

Like Cleveland’s CG Black drivers, the company’s new CG Black and CG Black CB irons are designed for golfers who don’t have pro-caliber swing speeds and don’t hit the center of the face on every shot.

Cleveland’s CG Black CB irons, which replace the company’s 588 MT irons, are designed for golfers who swing between 85-to-105 mph and want more workability than the CG Black irons can provide.

The 588 MT irons were long, forgiving and quite attractive at address, which is why they could be spotted in the bags of Keegan Bradley, Graeme McDowell and many other Cleveland/Srixon Staff players as long irons replacements.

Cleveland says the CG Black CB irons are even longer and more forgiving. They use high-strength HT 1770 steel faces in the long and mid irons to create a wider and hotter COR (coefficient of restitution) area.

The COR area of the CG Black CB irons is 20 percent larger and as much as 0.2 percent higher than the 588 MT irons.

CG Clack CG sets (4-SW) available on retail for $699.99 with a Nippon N.S. Pro 1050 GH steel shaft, or $799.99 with a UST Recoil 660/760 graphite shaft.

CG Black irons

The CG Black irons are game-improvement irons aimed at golfers who swing less than 90 mph with the driver and are looking for higher launch and more carry.

They’re designed with lower, more rearward CG (center of gravity) for golfers that need maximum speed and forgiveness.

The irons use a progressive design, with a hollow hybrid chassis in the 4 and 5 irons for a higher launch and a thinner face on the 6 and 7 irons to drop CG and raise launch angles.

Cleveland’s CG Black irons (4-PW) sell for $699.99 at retail.

    Loft gaps are stupid. Only 2* difference between 4 and 5 irons, yet 6* gap between PW and DW. There is absolutely no sound scientific justification for that.

      From article:The irons use a progressive design, with a hollow hybrid chassis in the 4 and 5 irons for a higher launch and a thinner face on the 6 and 7 irons to drop CG and raise launch angles.

      So different club designs throughout the same set need different loft spacing to achieve consistent distance gaping.

      A muscle back(blade) set uses identical club head design so lofting would be equally spaced.

    It’s every manufacturer, not just Cleveland. I hear they might get out of the iron business. They make great clubs it’s just people are brand crazy, the people who are left that are actually golfers or play golf. Except at some of the high end clubs, golf has taken a beating and retailers are going out of business. In Tampa Florida of all places, there are 2 retail golf stores in the whole area, Edwin Watts and Golfsmith, actually, make that the whole county. If you play golf and voted for the current bunch then I hope you get the yips.

    Hope the black stands up better than my CG16’s Black Pearl’s which look like they have leprosy.

      I experimented with the black irons like I did the yellow golf ball and went back to standard colors. I do like the satin irons better than chrome though, especially on the wedges.

    Comparing the lofts to my old CG clubs, shorter clubs have more loft while longer had less. Anyway, I look forward to trying those CBs.

    What a sad replacement for the MT’s.

    For the CG irons the 7 iron has a stronger loft than my 6 iron!

    I’m sure they are designed to get the ball up in the air, but for most amateurs with a driver speed under 90mph as they say they are aimed at, I would think with lofts that strong they’re going to struggle to hit anything under a 7 iron consistently. A 24* 5iron they’re gonna have no chance regardless of how hollow the clubhead is!

      exactly… so theyll have to take the irons they cant hit out of the bag and replace them with hybrids. its kind of important for golf club companies to do this so they can wring every little cent out of their customers.
