I have reviewed both on the home page and like both quite a bit. I think the Clevelands look better to me, but that is a personal preference. You really cannot go wrong with either iron, but they do have very different feels.
JB - in your testing what did you find more forgiving? Thanks for your input I appreciate it.
dirt, i'm just glad you finally got those beauties out. i know it's been a long time coming for you. in about 2-3 months i'd love to see some pics of them after some rounds on them if you don't mind.
DG,
In this thread I believe you can see a picture or two of the wear after our review.
Sure thing. They already have some wear scuffs since the driving range area is kinda sandy. I'm wondering how the finish will wear as well.
I will say that those zip grooves were skinning my e6 balls pretty well.[/QUOTE]
i know that when i demo'd a 6 iron it was skinning the balls up pretty good as well, and i was hitting prov's at the demo day. one cool thing was that you could see exactly where you were hitting the ball on the club face. the zip grooves kind of scare me, i can't help but think that they would increase the amount of side spin on the ball.

Anyone try the Tour model BP's? I just messed around with 6 iron at golfsmith and liked it. A lot. Wondering what the thoughts are on them as a full set lol. I'm trying to decide if I should hold off on a good deal for VR full cavities to get some BP's later on down the road. Thanks in advance!
I like the tour models quite a bit. For my game, I actually prefer the regular, which is odd, but just like the flight better. It has a smaller overall club head and less offset, which in turn means less forgiving for most amateurs. But depending on your misses, either could be great additions to a bag.

I mostly miss on the heel..Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong though lol. Hopefully a properly fitted club will help with that some.
Did the tours have that stinging feel when you had a mishit? I only got to try the club for a bit and didnt feel anything harsh at all. All shots were very soft, almost silk like. Most likely a lucky day with my swing. My first set was a hand me down Yamaha blade set. I can still feel the sting of the mishits. Don't ever want to have that feeling again .
Also, did the reg and tour both feel about the same on solid hits? I didn't get a chance to hit the reg BP's. Before the purchase (maybe a bit before I do) I will definitely try both out.
I appreciate the insight.
I have the Tour version and I love them. As JB said, they are less forgiving than the regular BP, with less offset and smaller clubhead. They definitely are more of a players iron than a GI iron. I find them similar to the MX-300, in that they offer both workability and some forgiveness. They are in that middle ground between the blade and the GI irons.
I have been able to work the ball pretty well. If your iron play is pretty good and you are a consistent ball striker, then I would definitely consider them. If not, then the regular version may suit your game better.
As a side note, I am slightly concerned that the stock shaft offering on the Tour version (TT DG R300) is not the best shaft for me. It is significantly heavier than what I had been playing and is designed for a lower ball flight.
I am not quite sure yet, with only a few rounds on them, that I will keep the shafts. I have lost some distance and club-head speed due to the increased weight. I may decide to swap for a lighter shaft with a higher trajectory. But I do love the clubs.
Cleveland does offer other shaft options for customization though.

Both will have similar feeling on mis-hits and pure shots due to construction and similar weighting. Fitting will help your issues quite a bit I believe.
That is great to hear about the feel. I will definitely be trying both out. Thanks again for the insight!
I hit the new Cleveland BP CG7 irons today at Edwin Watts. I hit there 7 iron longer then most on the other irons 6 irons and longer then my current 5 iron. I don't have the money to purchase these but when they drop in price I will defiantly look into these.
