This makes these irons quite long distance-wise, but will more than likely necessitate the addition of a gap wedge for most players. The lofts are fairly strong in the CG4 Tours, with the pitching wedge having 46º of loft.
In the CG4 Tours, the offset is progressive, with more offset in the longer irons to help square them at impact, and less offset in the shorter irons to aid in working the ball with the scoring clubs. The amount of offset is reduced when compared to Cleveland’s CG4 iron model. The grind of the sole should suite both “diggers” and “pickers” of the ball. The soles of the CG4 Tours are not overly wide, but just wide enough to prohibit digging into the turf. I would have preferred just a slightly thinner topline personally, but their CG2 iron model already fits that description nicely. This can aid in helping to align the club for some players, and add to their sense of confidence. At address, the topline is thinner than Cleveland’s “game improvement” designs, yet is still fairly thick. The grooves are ample at providing stopping power on approach shots into the green. It features a cavity with a grey tone metallic medallion inset. The look of the CG4 Tour head is very straightforward with a little flash thrown in. The overall feel is soft and responsive, but a little more muted than forged carbon steel.
The directional stability was very good, and distance losses were very minimal. I was still rewarded with decent distances, and the impact offered feedback on where the ball had struck the clubface without jarring my teeth loose. But, on off-center hits is where the CMM material really shined. Well-struck shots were soft, -almost to the point of imperceptible at impact. I noticed the benefits of the material immediately. Its relatively lightweight properties also allow Cleveland Golf to move more material in the head’s design to change launch conditions, and to adjust the amount of forgiveness the design affords when off-center hits occur. Utilized in 5 of Cleveland’s iron models, the benefit of CMM for the player is vibration dampening and a soft feel at impact.
Microscopic carbon “spheres” are infused into the metal to lessen the density by as much as 10% over other traditional metals. The new Cleveland Golf CG4 Tour irons fit this description beautifully.Ĭleveland utilizes an advancement in metal technology called “Carbon Metal Matrix,” or “CMM” for short. (It’s a good time to be a golfer!) If you happen to be a player who is a pretty good ball striker, yet would still like to benefit from a design with some game improvement features built in, you now have choices. From simple muscleback forged irons, to super game-improvement irons with adjustable weights. Now, the options when you go to your local golf retailer to shop for irons are almost limitless. Essentially, everyone was playing “Tour” clubs, because muscleback irons were the norm.

Back in the day, there were far fewer choices when you went to the pro shop to choose a set of irons. Everyone wants to feel like a “Tour” player. A definite trend has emerged among the golfing populous.
