Cleveland CG Black and CG Black CB irons
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.
CG Black CB irons
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.

Titleist has today introduced Pro V1, Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash golf balls featuring enhanced alignment.
The new Enhanced Alignment aid is an extended alignment sidestamp designed for more precise aim and accuracy. The elongated sidestamp provides a built-in visual aid and measures over 65 percent longer than the standard Pro V1 sidestamp.
“Enhanced Alignment is designed for golfers who are seeking a more detailed, built-in alignment feature on their Pro V1, Pro V1x or Pro V1x Left Dash. We saw overwhelming interest in the single-colored line on Pro V1 Performance Alignment, and this is another alternative for players who prefer a slightly different look.” – Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing
In addition to Enhanced Alignment, Titleist offers more than 40 different alignment aid designs on Pro V1’s fourth pole – opposite the sidestamp – through custom order on Titleist.com.
Pro V1, Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash Enhanced Alignment golf balls are available to order through titleist.com and at authorized Titleist retailers beginning on May 17 in the United States only. Enhanced Alignment is available globally on July 1.

Cobra released its first commercially available 3D-printed steel putter in 2020. Now, the company is bringing its first 3D-printed irons to retail with new LIMIT3D irons, which Cobra’s vice president of product architecture, Jose Miraflor, calls “the most significant technological advancement to happen to the category in the past 20 years” and “a look into the future of golf club design and performance.”
Cobra leveraged the expertise of computational design software firm nTop to create an ambitious design: a compact players blade that offers similar forgiveness as a larger, game-improvement style club and forged iron feel.
Speaking on the partnership, Mike Yagley, Vice President of Innovation & AI, Cobra Golf said, “nTop’s computational design tools integrated with 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, allowed us to create an incredible new design that looks and feels like a forged blade but performs like a larger, game-improvement iron. No one has done this before, and we’re excited to introduce these unique irons to the world.”
As Cobra explains, more forgiving irons are traditionally larger and sacrifice feel. Due to the limitations of casting and forging, creating a more compact, better-feeling iron that still delivers forgiveness was only possible with 3D printing. The resulting profile of Cobra’s LIMIT3D irons is smaller than Cobra’s King Tour irons.
LIMIT3D irons are 3D printed for 316L stainless steel with an internal lattice structure, which allowed engineers to position 33 percent of the iron’s overall weight to the exterior for greater MOI. 100 grams of tungsten is positioned in the heel and toe of each clubhead for low CG for ease of launch and high MOI for greater forgiveness.
Additionally, using nTop’s design software and additive manufacturing allowed for a substantially faster prototyping process, which enabled engineers to test more designs and mass placements for a superior finished product.

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.
