Ever since my driver fitting and getting a 3 wood with a stiff shaft I've been thinking about my irons, in particular the draw I get with them that has a lot of the not so redeeming features of a hook!

After a frustrating morning decided to go to the local driving range to play around with the settings on my driver and generally just to have a whack on my lunch.

As an aside, not been there for years but looks like its been taken over and is much better so I may well be back, especially given that I didn't get the chance to hit my driver.

Before going on the range I thought I'd have a look in the new shop (again, seems pretty good compared to what was there before).

Anyway, was looking at the second hand clubs and there they were.....

Cleveland CG1 blades, stiff shaft. They were tied up beside the rack with a price on them of £169. Asked the boy how much they'd sell them for. "£80" :eek:

So, I bought them there and then!

Had a hit with them and they were so nice to hit (even the 3 iron) got another basket and hit them all with the irons.

Has straightened out my draw no end, still a little there but not as extreme as before.

Was like going back to my youth hitting blades, they just look tremendous behind the ball. Can't wait to get them out on the course which will obviously go one of 2 ways, I just hope I can continue to hit them well as they are a joy to behold.

Then, I may be able to claim they are a bigger bargain than Aztecs Mizuno's :rolleyes:
 
:D

Great swag!

Just googled CG1 Blades and my lord are they fit!

I'm gutted I don't hold the title for most bargainous set of irons any more though :(

They are incredibly good looking clubs I must say! Quite a change from the "modern" take Cleveland took with the CG Red irons I have now.

Depends how long they last before I can lay claim to your title my friend.....

Does make me chuffed when you get a bargain though.
 
Nice score!! are they in good nick?

Yep. They are second hand forged irons so it's not like they're pristine, have the chatter marks all forged clubs get but no big marks/gouges on them. :) :) :)

Original Cleveland grips still on them aswell and are in reasonable shape although I might take this as an opportunity to try gripping them myself using the instructions used on here.

Well, I might have to put my hand in for first refusal if you don't get on with them. I'd just need to figure out where to hide them from the Mrs! :D

I'll let you know! Should be out the next couple of weekends so looking forward to giving them a bash. May keep them just to look at and hit at the range every now and again if I can't use them!
 
Nice....

You going to butter your toast with that 3I as well?

Absolutely! It is pretty thin. Was hitting it really well though. Might spur me on to actually go to the range more often than once every 3 years now aswell!!

Yep, could be dangerous that, they did have a good selection of putters aswell.....

The shafts are S300, nowt exotic.
