CG16 Tour Irons

[levina]

We tested: Cleveland CG16 Black Pearl 3-PW Iron Set with Steel Shafts
3-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft
Key Technologies: Its small undercut cavity provides forgiveness and responsiveness on slight mis-hits. The \"tour zip grooves\" and \"laser milled face\" (to increase surface roughness) create added spin and, thus, control.
OUR TESTERS SAY: Provides good consistent results and enjoyable feel on pure shots.
PROS
PLAYABILITY: The small head and narrow sole make it easy to hit shots from different kinds of lies.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Respectable results in terms of accuracy on solid hits.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Similar outcome on pure and not-so-pure shots compared with testers\' own Cleveland CG16 Black Pearl 3-PW Iron Set with Steel Shafts
FEEL: Most testers get plenty of feedback on solid strikes.
LOOK: Testers couldn\'t wait to pull it from the bag and give it a go—small clubhead with minimal offset and dark \"black pearl\" finish is a big hit.
CONS
Some testers notice too much sidespin [and not enough help] on misses; others experience a lack of feel on chips and pitches.

The CG16 irons are lighter, longer and have stronger lofts than standardCleveland CG16 Black Pearl 3-PW Iron Set with Steel Shafts
. A large, undercut cavity positions the center of gravity (CG) 10 percent lower and 75 percent deeper than in typical blades for higher shots and increased forgiveness, while \"zip grooves\" and \"laser milled face technology\" add control. A large, thin face increases ball speed to bolster distance. Cleveland prints the iron number, plus degrees of loft, on the sole to help with proper gapping. The CG16 comes in black pearl or satin chrome finish.
