Has anybody hit or owned both of these?  I know they're older models but am looking to pick up one of these sets.  Any help or other threads that might discuss this would be helpful.

Sorry, I meant cg7 tours!

I have a set of cg7 tours and would not trade them for anything. EVER!!!!

I've been playing CG reds for a few years now, I've always found them to be solid performers, decent forgiveness, but still able to hit the ball high or low, or hit a hook or a cut if I need to.  Decent feel for a cast iron.  Mine might even be for sale soon, looking to go forged, but I will miss them, been good to me for a long time now.

I would look away from the CG Reds. If you are a cleveland fan, the cg7s are good, and the cg16 tours are one of the most underrated clubs in the last two years. They can be found pretty cheap too. I really like the looks of them, but found the feel to be very harsh and not very forgiving. The CG7 tours are a step in the right direction, but if you can, demo a cg16 tour.

^Underrated cast clubs with a "smaller-ish" head. Sorry had to qualify that statement The MB2's and Ping i20's, both with PXi's, are rotating right now in my bag, for reference.

I have both, prefer the cg7 tours. Both are very good irons. For me, I have a very hard time not over drawing the reds for some reason. If you have a natural fade, the reds migh help in keeping the ball from fading, however if you have a natural draw, I would stay away from the reds.

I have hit both but purchased and play the CG7 tours. Both reds and CG7's hit a nice ball, but I really prefer the look of the CG7 tours - more compact and more appealing to my eye. I do agree with the above poster that the CG16 tours are great clubs as well - but again, I really prefer the look of the CG7 tours. There is just something about the undercut cavity in the CG16's that I never really liked. They did a much better job of hiding that feature it in the CG7 tours.

I still game CG7 tours - longest and most consistent irons i've hit.  Picked them up at the beginning of the season on the bay for like ~$200 with new GP Multicompound grips and Project X 6.0 shafts.  You should be able to find a deal!
