thanks bro! These clubs are my new found love. Is it bad that I clean them thoroughly after every round? hahaha
Only if you clean them alone in the bathroom.

I think these will be great for a steep swing because I have one myself. I take divots even on practice swings...haha. I think these irons truly shine there. I had a PW into a green on friday and I took a healthy divot but never really even felt it. the ball flew nice and high, I see exactly what Hawk is saying about the turf interaction. You will have NO problem getting this club through the turf and getting the ball up, granted, you have to get the ball first.
interesting. maybe I need to steepen my swing a bit for these. I tend to have a more shallow / picking kind of swing
Any news yet on a stocking date for these clubs? When will they release the Kraken?!
I wouldnt say to change the swing, You should be getting ball first contact anyway
Spent about an hour today on the range hitting the scoring irons (8-PW for me). I want to further touch on something Hawk spoke about and that is turf interaction. These clubs do a VERY good job of making it easy to contact the grass and let it work with you. The thinner sole compared to what I am used to using really helped in getting into the ground and helping me pinch the ball properly. Now with that brought in the ability to hit it thick or fluffy by a groove or two, something that many wider soles GI irons help guard against (in theory). When hitting the irons a groove or two thick, they do not have the same forgiveness as a full GI club. Nothing major in the aspect of sending the ball off line or anything, but not the same mass behind the ball high on the club face like there is with a larger or thicker topline club. If this is a standard miss for you, it is something to consider. Because of this great turf interaction, gone were my thins that I had been experiencing as of late.
On to the good stuff and I mean exceptional stuff. I spent the day hitting at the 125 yard flag (it was measured at 121 today) and spent time hitting all of the scoring irons at it all different ways. High, low, cut, draw and the CBs delivered FAR better than I expected. In fact it was so good that I found myself playing games with them such as landing on the green with the cut and the draw and which shot produced the best result and comparing it to the straight ball (straight ball won every time ironically). Then doing the same thing with the high and low shot and comparing it to my normal trajectory. It was a great exercise and really showcased the versatility of these clubs.
Overall, I had another really good day with these and am left pondering things quite a bit.

I think those CG16's are quaking in their boots. I'll take those TT Monacos off your hands
Hmm, damn all of you for your CB feedback and how awesome they feel! Not really.
Excellent feedback JB. You say you have something serious to ponder but I want to pose a question to you. Are the CB's shorter than your CG16's?
If so, are you willing to sacrafice distance in exchange for turf interaction and perhaps more flightability?
tapatalk: even available for lefties!
Internet golf at its finest huh? Ready to take shafts that are custom fit for me because they look good? I totally kid, of course...hehe
Im not sure TC. I am going to play both on Wednesday and then really start working on distance and see what I am finding. I know people always say "it does not matter, its just a loft thing", but in reality for me, picking up a 6 or a 7 iron instead of a 5 iron does matter to me mentally.

Of course. We've already determined I am the guy in the W/S commercial. My bag needs to look like a playah!

great write up JB, pretty cool hearing about that little game, if I had those shots in my pocket I would play it sometime but I do not. I like how you said that the straight shots were the best results. I guess I can understand the idea of a draw or fade depending on pin placement but that is for the guys who throw the ball at the pin EVERY shot. Which I do not think 99% of amateurs do. So, when you gonna put these in the bag? sounds like they belong there.

Do you think that you can pull more 'shots' off with these clubs vs the CG16's? Or at least more consistently?
