Andy, I'm a 5 handicap, but I've spent a lot of time this last year building a modern set that takes advantage of technology and launch monitors to maximize each club in my bag. I think it's awesome that Cleveland has tried to put together 1 set that morphs as much as it does from PW to 4 iron trying to help the Average Golfer as much as possible as the clubs transition from short to mid to long. I can also comfortably say, that unless you have a huge hook and offset would send you to a mental hospital, your average slicing golfer would really benefit from this offset design. I could easily play these - but more importantly, I would put my wife into them (if I didn't recently build her a 1-off custom set doing exactly these ideas) as well as my put my 2 daughters and parents into them. This should be a candidate for Average Golfer Set of the Year because it is actually trying to optimize every club for the Average Golfer..
I agree Paul these clubs do everything at a good price I started golf 3 years ago with cleveland launchers aged 55 29 handicap got down to 21 changed to cbx as game improved down to 12 both sets very forgiving high launch irons and very much passed by for mid to high handicappers who go for major brands more expensive clubs This brand would help them more at a cheaper price and off set is a slicers friend
I play the Cleveland Launchers HBs and could not be happier with how they have helped me improve my game through forgiveness and consistency. Very quickly got over the non-conventional looks once the performance gains kicked in. Pity these types of clubs are too quickly dismissed, but as you say, perhaps now with the price of so-called premium irons, we’ll see a resurgence of interest.
Andy, agree totally. Cleveland are very under rated outside of their wedges and that price should be a dig draw card for them. Have noted recently that there are a lot of Cleveland ads on RUclips so may be doing more to raise their profile.
Recently bought Cleveland CBX irons( replacing my beloved Ping G15s) after being so impressed with their CBX wedges which I have been using for over a year. Absolutely delighted with the irons, great feel, forgiveness and value for money
These Cleveland irons are great for a lowish budget.I think the variance on the 7 iron tell you that you have to hit the sweet spot to get the strike right which like a blade helps you to learn from your mistakes.The more expensive clubs tend to be more forgiving but mask your mistakes but are good for the ego.
I still play Cleveland TA5 gunmetal irons, so have a real soft spot for Cleveland, and hope they do well. I also think the short irons in this set look as good as most clubs out there. The mid to long irons, where they move to the hollow construction, however, just look so different to the rest of the set, I think I'd really struggle to want to hit them (or indeed carry them in the bag). I recognise that they may have performance advantages, giving help with launch etc. but I'd feel more inclined to try and fill in with a couple of hybrids which may do the job even better and be more pleasing on the eye.
I had a set of Cleveland CBX irons that I really enjoyed. I purchased a 4 UHX iron for $99.00, and as I like irons more than woods it replaced my 4 hybrid. It’s been absolute money so far. It’s a bit chunky but it really does feel much better than other hollow body irons I’ve tried and it’s still smaller than the hybrid I was gaming, which I like. Thanks to you I hit it and I bought it!!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you doing this review, I’ve been really wanting to see a legitimate review from someone I’ve grown to trust. ( as much as you can without knowing you). Did you take them on course?? Thanks again
If you take out the two 7 iron miss hits, your average with the other 5 was approx 172 yards. So the bad ones at 160 & 162 are only 10-12 yard short. Still on the green if playing to a middle pin. Miss hits on blades would probably be worse, no?
Many thanks for this review. I have a set of Cleveland clubs from approx 5 years ago, so these look like the sort of thing I would look at. I like the idea of clubs changing through the set as we amateurs need more help at the 4 / 5/ 6 ends of the bag. It would also allow me to keep my wedges at the bottom.
I'm off 6 and that 4 iron might find its way into my bag! Looks to me like a great replacement for a hybrid which I find too easy to hook. Wonder if it has any workability at all?? Get it out on the course or send it up to me and I'll film an on course session with it to see how versatile it is especially in the wind!
Looks like Cleveland made something really good here! Demonstrating you can build something solid without ridiculous prices. Congratulations! I hope it will sell well for them and might give some other manufacturers some thought...
I stumbled on to these today at Rodger Dunn's while trying out some M series TaylorMade irons. They struck me as a clean design for the price and was impressed by their performance. Solid distance, trajectory and forgiveness. Quite a value. I may buy them. Thanks for the video.
Andy, fully understand your concerns if the reduction in ball speed is caused by off-centre strikes. However your stats do not show the club head speed to confirm the cause. Tony
I looooove my HB Turbo (ladies) so forgiving and consistent, nothing but Cleveland in the bag... HB Launcher Turbo Driver (12deg), Halo 2 Hybrid, HB Launcher Turbo 5 Wood, a CBX 50 wedge, my putter and these babies... HB Launcher Turbo Irons! (Irons in 6 to 9, PW, SW). The looks aren’t even noticeable on the course for me, they look like a typical iron and the black just looks like a shadow in the grass, to be honest it’s about how well they perform... such an underrated brand Cleveland is, but I love the reasonable pricing of them (not spending extras on adjustable hosel and weight bolts you just don’t need therefore making them more affordable...). I wouldn’t use anything else!! Quality and consistency, it’s a no brainer!! Brush your egos aside and get your hands on these babies!! Great videos, thank you 😊
I'm very happy that Cleveland is back in the full club business again. I play the CBX irons and wedges and love them. Looking at the their new driver since one of the best drivers I ever owned was the Launcher 400 driver.
Great video Andy. I carry cbx wedges in 50 and 54 degree and love them. I did buy a hi toe off Lewis but soon went back to my cbx. I'd certainly consider these irons even though I'm not so keen on the appearance of the bulkier long irons 👍
What I’ve recently been advised to become a better player is get a set of blades, to become a better player and ball striker. Would you advise this as they feel horrible when I don’t hit them in the middle.
Cleveland clubs did have a great pedigree, my daughter played their woods and, I think, still has a 3 & 5 wood, I used their 588/900 wedges for ages and loved them and a few friends still play their older model irons! These aren’t my cup of tea but good to see them back and not gouging with the prices!!👍🏼👍🏼
I seen alot of reviews re Uhx all good ,I'm a mid handicap player looking soon at a custom fit,These are my starting point,start with spending the least then see where we go.
Actually thinking about changing irons and these are def in the running along with jpx 919 hot metals and the srixon z 585 s and the big plus with these is most def the price point
Cleveland makes good products. I have an old Reg 588 s/w that I have used for almost 20 years and just replaced it with a new one that cost $45 though one of the big online stores here in the USA. I love it and have tried many different brands but always come back to the 588. I also used a SL290 Launcher driver that was very good. Used it for about 5 years. If I hadn't just bought a set of Callaway irons I would take a good look at these in the review.
Great video as usual, this is why I aways say it's not necessary to spend 1000 of pounds or dollars on golf clubs. Forged irons can be adjusted. I just got delivered today a set of Callaway APEX CF 19 irons 5 through AW for $569.00 + $20 shipping with Catalyst 60 5.5 Regular Flex shafts. Retail these would cost $1360 with Tax. So what's my point. It's mostly the swing and pratice that's going to make you a better golfer. I go get fitted then I buy them second hand online for a fraction of the cost. Most golfers would be better off paying for a decent pro vs buying the most expensive clubs. Spending tons of money on clubs won't make you hit it straight or teach you to work the ball.
Let's keep in mind Cleveland is owned by SRIXON. High quality Japanese standards are in play here. Something to consider when looking at these. Although forged, I play Srixon 785 irons and have been very satisfied. The guys at TXG personally own and play Srixon irons. Says a lot.
Hey Andy, Watching from Melbourne, OZ - love your videos. Would absolutely consider gaming these irons. Would you say these were a bit more step up / lower handicap than the HB launcher irons? They're both mega-forgiving and split set.
Another great unbiased review. Being a mid handicap "Senior" golfer and always looking for good value quality clubs that would give me more consistency and a little extra distance, was thinking of the HB turbo irons. Understand they will not be your cup of tea but any chance you could give them a hit or just a report on them. regards Mel
Hi Mel I am reading your unanswered question a year later. I fit your description as a golfer ( 66; handicap 13) and recently bought a set of the original HB Launcher irons ( not the turbo model) with Senior flex graphite shafts. On testing them I found them very forgiving of fat shots. They were easy to hit well and flew slightly higher than my other irons. They tended to be draw biased, which is fine if you tend to fade/slice a lot. I think their carrying distance was about right for the lofts on each club. My only concern would be how they might react on hard baked courses in mid summer, where a thinner sole would be an advantage.
Great review. I’ve plunged for that 4 iron to potentially replace my hybrid and gap behind my 5 wood. The prices compared to driving irons is literally half to a third of the price.
@@SudsyG can confirm it’s a cannon, and the ultimate bargain at that - mid flight dead straight for miles. Still getting used to it but instantly easier than my hybrid for me. Good luck with yours and enjoy when it arrives🏌️
Hi Andy, can really see these gave you a surprise. It's looks like a cross between the z585 and the Cleveland CBX wedge technology. The long irons packed with forgiveness and will suit a lot of players that these are aimed at..great price too. 👍
Nice to see a company bring out irons that are reasonably priced and do not give up anything in performance. They do remind me of my Cobra F9 4-iron in that you do see the back of the club, but it performs well enough that I removed my Ping G hybrid from my bag.
I've used the 588 altitude irons, they're ugly but perform well especially in wet conditions due to the size of the sole.Cleveland have always made very good irons but struggled to get market share in the U.K. Once again a great vlog, its good to see minority clubs given air time👍
Cleveland brand is owned by Srixon You can see where they are coming from! Srixon=Premium Cleveland=Budget Am sure the “premium” tech filters through to the budget line Great value...... Are you going to review the HB2 Launcher irons.....now there’s a different club for us oldies!
Andy can i ask I'm looking at these the wilson d9 and ping g425 what are your thoughts if you have hit them all. Wanting more distance and forgivness and don't like too much offset
P790 Andy?? Much more offset in the clubhead and a thicker top line in my view. Good review though as usual. What do you think of the Nike Max Air Ones?
Good to see a review of Cleveland irons, I used the 588 irons before moving to the Srixons and thought they were very good clubs. Cleveland are good quality club at a decent price including all their wedges.
Played lots of cleveland irons over the years they are so underrated always do impressive sets for the high/mid handicapper and price is always competetive. 👍
I found that cleveland is a bit budget with headcovers and grips wearing quickly. My concern is these would be scratched up after 1 season so any saving would be lost in longevity.
They don't mark up anymore than any other set of irons. I agree the stock grips tend to be cheap but cleveland has been near the top in the wedge category for a long time and haven't had any issues with them. Most wear on iron faces comes from the range. Its sand getting on the golf ball at the range and hitting it between the face and the ball. If you just keep your clubs clean and make sure your range balls are clean your irons will last a very long time.
These come with lamkin crossline 360 grips. They should last just fine. I personally just bought the 3 utility iron to be my main driving iron. It’s got me wanting the rest of the set.
These come in about the same price as the Callaway Rogue irons (actually there are a little more expensive). The Rogues are still available for custom fit. Of the two which would you say perform better for a high teens golfer?
Nice review Andy!…I can’t attest to the irons but I’m really enjoying the CBX wedges in 48,52 and 56…Actually made the purchase after watching your review of them🍻
I use these irons. Not fitted, all standard off the shelf. I absolutely love love love them. Ive tried many different brands in last ten years. TM P790 came close but in the end they just didnt suit me perfectly. I was desperate for them to be perfect, beautiful things, but I shifted my mindset, sold them, held a UHX at the pro shop, and wow, felt brilliant. Found a lightly used set on ebay, couldnt miss them at the price £200 - no risk. And I love them, so so much. Also snagged a CBX wedge. Being a minimalist and a carrier I dont use a full bag. But I truly think these were made for me, Ive put Midsize grips on them, and made them even better. Would recommend. Thanks Andy, super review as per usual.
My first set of clubs were the CLEVELAND CG7 tour red irons and they were brilliant.There is a set of brand new ones on eBay at the minute for £300 and to tell you the truth I am tempted but my srixon Z585's are going great at this time.Pity!!
I like the look and love the fact they have both loft and iron number stamped on them. I like that look I don’t like the super high polish chrome. After all irons are not 1957 Chevy bumpers.
I do not like the look, too bulky, top line too thick, too much offset. But I do like that they put the loft on the bottom of the club. The results though were very impressive - good spin for a 30 degree 7i, even better with the 4i. Add in the price and that is a very good set for someone starting golf. As for the drop off on miss hits with 7i, I do not mind that too much. You should suffer if you swing badly - but flying 160 yards with decent spin is not a massive amount of suffering for a 7i - maybe 12 yards compared to a decent swing.
hi gruffalo i've bought these clubs 5 to dw used them on the range felt good and i got cbx2 wedges 54/58 i bouhjt them from snaitongolf co.uk you can make-up your own combination hope this helps
@@TheAverageGolfer Thatchers Gold. Used to be a fan of Olde English but the taste buds have moved on. I will ask you one serious question as I am intrigued by all of these hollow bodied irons you have tested. You play Conway which is bound to have the occasional windy day......just wondering if you have taken any of these modern clubs out and had them balloon into the wind. Not having hit any i have no idea if they have any downsides. Thankyou.
Hairy Golfer enjoy the cider, I’m a big fan. As for the clubs, I hit a particularly high ball irrelevant of the iron type but I do think it is something to be mindful of and I think getting custom fit with the correct shaft is where this can be addressed, in terms of reducing spin/flight etc As an example Lewis (pro) plays P790 and has no issues uses an X stiff shaft in hits a superb ball flight
@@TheAverageGolfer I have been to an AGM tonight to sort out our Club Team fixtures next year. Car keys in pocket so no drink. Nice to have one at home. In spring I will be testing some of these clubs as I'm not getting any younger! No point me trying now when playing once a week golf - I'm not good enough right now with the season tailing off. I still love your reaction to the MP20HMB and as I'm old fashioned......... SAS Golf is only 45mins away at Burford and I think he stocks Mizuno.
Cleveland have a good name so it’s a company you can trust, personally not my cup of tea but they will suit a large number of golfers more for the price than anything, I don’t think they would win a beauty contest but no doubt some people will like them. The numbers were good Andy but in the longer irons that bulk would put me off also they seem too have a lot of offset but that could be me seeing it the way I do, did you find that many shots went more left in dispersion? Cheers Geordie.
Funny, just wanted to make a quick comment because I purchased a set of these yesterday, that feel of the four iron off the tee or in the fairway is excellent. These irons are really good, the only drawback is hitting that four from the rough, but even with my old Mizuno JPX 800 irons that was an issue also. But still out of the deep rough I advanced it 160 yards, from the tee 190 without much effort.
Your front and back dispersion with the 4 iron was tighter than the 7 iron. You and I now that's not the norm. It indicates to me that you had a couple of bad strikes with the 7 iron that threw off the performance. Even on the smallest greens that front back dispersion would have the ball landing on the green in any case. Great review and a good bargain price!! Cleveland makes some real nice SGI clubs and wedges!
Cleveland people may not realise are Japanese made in the same factory and people who make Srixon and XXIO... excellence at a great price ! Japanese make the best clubs...

Hi Andy, can really see these gave you a surprise. It's looks like a cross between the z585 and the Cleveland CBX wedge technology. The long irons packed with forgiveness and will suit a lot of players that these are aimed at..great price too. 👍
I was surprised John and yeah I think you make a good point on the cross of techs

Cleveland Vas, Andy .
I've got a set mate, Cory Pavin's US Open winning irons. That's what I think you when I hear Cleveland 👍👍👍👍👍
Cleveland brand is owned by Srixon
You can see where they are coming from!
Srixon=Premium
Cleveland=Budget
Am sure the “premium” tech filters through to the budget line
Great value......
Are you going to review the HB2 Launcher irons.....now there’s a different club for us oldies!
Srixon isn't premium. Their prices are pretty cheap and their golf balls are cheaper too.
Premium as in quality....well liked by many
@@martynedwards1493 you can have quality and still have people not like it.
Good to see the range of products available
I think that these are pretty nice looking. I’m planning to add the six and seven iron to my bag with Mizuno Hot. Teal Pro
Oops... Hot Metal Pro 8 iron to gap wedge. I need help with the 6 and 7.
Cleveland is owned by Srixon and the mother company is Dunlop Japan. They make great great products.
Great review as per usual. Very informative and great product.
Andy can i ask I'm looking at these the wilson d9 and ping g425 what are your thoughts if you have hit them all. Wanting more distance and forgivness and don't like too much offset
P790 Andy?? Much more offset in the clubhead and a thicker top line in my view. Good review though as usual. What do you think of the Nike Max Air Ones?
Good to see a review of Cleveland irons, I used the 588 irons before moving to the Srixons and thought they were very good clubs. Cleveland are good quality club at a decent price including all their wedges.
Yeah impressed
Played lots of cleveland irons over the years they are so underrated always do impressive sets for the high/mid handicapper and price is always competetive. 👍
Agreed on this performance
I found that cleveland is a bit budget with headcovers and grips wearing quickly. My concern is these would be scratched up after 1 season so any saving would be lost in longevity.
They don't mark up anymore than any other set of irons. I agree the stock grips tend to be cheap but cleveland has been near the top in the wedge category for a long time and haven't had any issues with them. Most wear on iron faces comes from the range. Its sand getting on the golf ball at the range and hitting it between the face and the ball. If you just keep your clubs clean and make sure your range balls are clean your irons will last a very long time.
These come with lamkin crossline 360 grips. They should last just fine. I personally just bought the 3 utility iron to be my main driving iron. It’s got me wanting the rest of the set.
These come in about the same price as the Callaway Rogue irons (actually there are a little more expensive). The Rogues are still available for custom fit. Of the two which would you say perform better for a high teens golfer?
I would say it depends on your view of the visuals on the Cleveland? If you are OK with it I would try both and base on performance
Nice review Andy!…I can’t attest to the irons but I’m really enjoying the CBX wedges in 48,52 and 56…Actually made the purchase after watching your review of them🍻
The wedges are excellent
I use these irons. Not fitted, all standard off the shelf. I absolutely love love love them. Ive tried many different brands in last ten years. TM P790 came close but in the end they just didnt suit me perfectly. I was desperate for them to be perfect, beautiful things, but I shifted my mindset, sold them, held a UHX at the pro shop, and wow, felt brilliant. Found a lightly used set on ebay, couldnt miss them at the price £200 - no risk. And I love them, so so much. Also snagged a CBX wedge. Being a minimalist and a carrier I dont use a full bag. But I truly think these were made for me, Ive put Midsize grips on them, and made them even better. Would recommend. Thanks Andy, super review as per usual.
I personally like Cleveland irons I play the Cleveland cg16 irons
My first set of clubs were the CLEVELAND CG7 tour red irons and they were brilliant.There is a set of brand new ones on eBay at the minute for £300 and to tell you the truth I am tempted but my srixon Z585's are going great at this time.Pity!!
Wow #300!
@@TheAverageGolfer having played these I thought they were a good price!
I like the look and love the fact they have both loft and iron number stamped on them. I like that look I don’t like the super high polish chrome. After all irons are not 1957 Chevy bumpers.
I do not like the look, too bulky, top line too thick, too much offset. But I do like that they put the loft on the bottom of the club.
The results though were very impressive - good spin for a 30 degree 7i, even better with the 4i. Add in the price and that is a very good set for someone starting golf. As for the drop off on miss hits with 7i, I do not mind that too much. You should suffer if you swing badly - but flying 160 yards with decent spin is not a massive amount of suffering for a 7i - maybe 12 yards compared to a decent swing.
Id agree with all your points Justin
I'm using the cbx previous model and they feel gd also
Great performers
For an average golfer it’s a confidence builder
I’m really interested in these irons, after some help and the love price! Thinking of adding the cbx 2 wedges in also, 50, 54, 58 to make a set up!
Not tried the CBX wedges yet but loved the originals
Will you trying the Hybrids, fairways and driver too? The whole range looks spot on this year, great price point too
hi gruffalo i've bought these clubs 5 to dw used them on the range felt good and i got cbx2 wedges 54/58 i bouhjt them from snaitongolf co.uk you can make-up your own combination hope this helps
I’m not sure if best to get the DW or CBX 50.....
@@aspencer09 try them both only 1 deg diff
New video. Open cider, sit back and enjoy.
Which cider?
@@TheAverageGolfer Thatchers Gold. Used to be a fan of Olde English but the taste buds have moved on.
I will ask you one serious question as I am intrigued by all of these hollow bodied irons you have tested. You play Conway which is bound to have the occasional windy day......just wondering if you have taken any of these modern clubs out and had them balloon into the wind. Not having hit any i have no idea if they have any downsides. Thankyou.
Hairy Golfer enjoy the cider, I’m a big fan.
As for the clubs, I hit a particularly high ball irrelevant of the iron type but I do think it is something to be mindful of and I think getting custom fit with the correct shaft is where this can be addressed, in terms of reducing spin/flight etc
As an example Lewis (pro) plays P790 and has no issues uses an X stiff shaft in hits a superb ball flight
@@TheAverageGolfer I have been to an AGM tonight to sort out our Club Team fixtures next year. Car keys in pocket so no drink. Nice to have one at home. In spring I will be testing some of these clubs as I'm not getting any younger! No point me trying now when playing once a week golf - I'm not good enough right now with the season tailing off. I still love your reaction to the MP20HMB and as I'm old fashioned.........
SAS Golf is only 45mins away at Burford and I think he stocks Mizuno.
@@thehairygolfer Definitely one of my top 3 irons for 2019 - the MP20's
Cleveland have a good name so it’s a company you can trust, personally not my cup of tea but they will suit a large number of golfers more for the price than anything, I don’t think they would win a beauty contest but no doubt some people will like them.
The numbers were good Andy but in the longer irons that bulk would put me off also they seem too have a lot of offset but that could be me seeing it the way I do, did you find that many shots went more left in dispersion?
Cheers Geordie.
Funny, just wanted to make a quick comment because I purchased a set of these yesterday, that feel of the four iron off the tee or in the fairway is excellent. These irons are really good, the only drawback is hitting that four from the rough, but even with my old Mizuno JPX 800 irons that was an issue also. But still out of the deep rough I advanced it 160 yards, from the tee 190 without much effort.
Your front and back dispersion with the 4 iron was tighter than the 7 iron. You and I now that's not the norm. It indicates to me that you had a couple of bad strikes with the 7 iron that threw off the performance. Even on the smallest greens that front back dispersion would have the ball landing on the green in any case.
Great review and a good bargain price!! Cleveland makes some real nice SGI clubs and wedges!
Take them to the course please. Like to see them in real grass real greens.
I dont have a set Erick
Kind of hard to use what you don’t have. Thanks for responding. Keep up the good work.
Cleveland people may not realise are Japanese made in the same factory and people who make Srixon and XXIO... excellence at a great price ! Japanese make the best clubs...
To bulky for my eye but price spot on, if they were smaller all round there on to a winner
Yes I would agree Wayne
I had a look at them in the shop. They only really look big in the 4 and 5 iron.
I want their launcher Torbo driver
Hope to review soon
I have one.
How do you like the driver?
Roger cleveland didnt make junk. That's why callaway hired him lol
definitely not an average golfer price. 4me $650 rock bottom golf
Most people have a great practice swing and average real swing. You are the opposite
Robert Ireland my practice swing is strange now you mention 😂😂 there’s no point to it!
