I can’t help but think it looks like a Srixon ZX5 🤔
Maltby clubs are as good or better than premium clubs for a fraction of the price. But people are concerned with having brand stamps on their clubs that will impress their friends.
It is all about ego.
Cleaveland needs to bring back the mashie's
What the hell is he talking about?
Don't know if I have ever really seen a difference in drivers…well name brand anyways. Seems like they are all pretty comparable to me. Irons on the other hand I personally love Mizuno irons. Just something about them. Wedges though….all of mine except the ol vokey are Cleveland
golf clubs are so expensive because sponsored tour pros get paid.
I do like the unpretentiousness of Cleveland, and their “does what it says on the tin” approach to clubs.
I like the looks but I agree that the blade length is approaching ice hockey stick proportions, which puts me off.
I like the price comparatively speaking.
I don’t like the fact that the pitching wedge is basically an 8 iron so that I need to buy extra wedges to fill the gaps (if only there was a company that also made easy to hit wedges… oh wait…)
At the top end of the bag I wouldn’t mind betting I could jump from 5 iron to 5 wood without much of a gap so it probably balances out the extra wedges.
I shot a 2 under par 70 using an old Cleveland Launcher iron set, off the rack. Totally destroyed my desire for the latest and the greatest along with the attendant pricing. Plus, no worry about someone stealing them from the bag drop.
You have a deal with them, which means you suffer reciprocity bias and confirmation bias. Saying you don't have a bias is incorrect. The fact that you work with them means you have a bias despite you thinking you do not.
I play Cleveland 588 custom woods and see no reason to use anything newer, however, just under a grand with tax is the new 'value' pricing for a set of irons, seriously?
They charge as much as the market will bear.
To your thumbnail question? Yes…but golfers continue to support the insanity. This industry relies on a combination of "health in a pill" and "lemming:" mentality. The day the majority of scratch golfers have the confidence to pull a Kirkland, Cleveland, or any other "budget" club from their bag in front of their friends at "the club" , is the day this craziness ends. If history tells us anything, that day is a long way off. Ironically, if people just reallocated their spend and increased their time with a pro, that day would come even sooner. However, thanks to channels like yours, and what seems like a rising tide of "professionals" pushing back, that day is closer now than ever. Thanks!
Most golfers need to accept you cannot buy a golf swing and no matter how much you spend on overpriced clubs it will never fix weak talent. Better to view some of the excellent lessons on Youtube and work on the techniques. Then you can hit any golf club, after all there is very little difference in clubs – even in the marketing.
• Titlest 690MB 3-PW (£275)
• Titlest 909D2 (actually bought two for £80)
• Titlest 909F3 (£30)
• Titlest Vokey wedges x 2 (£60)
Everything in good condition, 7/10
Everything for the similar cost as some modern, 'hi-tech' driver that'll get you an extra 10 yards
I have CBX 2 wedges and the launcher uhx. Hallow 4-7 and cavity back 8- D. I got a demo set for $400 US
If pro golfers get millions in endorsment! How pays? Easy answer…..up to you!
$899… ha ha ha ha ha ha… I wish!
I've been fitted several times in my life and know very well what my specs need to be for irons at least. I say that because I refuse to pay what the big brands are charging nowadays and instead go the direct to consumer route (knowing your specs and requirements helps a lot). I recently purchased a set from Takomo with as close to custom as I could get using my specs from previous fittings and absolutely LOVE my 101T irons. $650 delivered with my choice of specs is nearly impossible to beat. Bottom line is, you can get great clubs for a lot cheaper than what Callaway, TM, Titleist, etc. are charging.
You sold me, buying a set this weekend!
As a newer golfer who is learning on YouTube, I don’t get why every single person evaluating gear puts more emphasis on how something looks vs how it plays? Am I missing something or all these YouTube reviewers simply this pretentious and snobby that they would not be seen with a particular brand of club in their bag? This is nonsensical to me but what do I know
I'm still using the Cleveland 588TT irons that I bought after your review many, many years back.
i have cleveland cg16,s im doing work on,but the irons i play are lynxs black cat,lovely to play with and a fraction of the price of the big brands.They have been screwing people for yrs,my 3 wood and 5 wood are quality second hand nothing but some ink fill and polishing make good.people believe the hype.got to buy new its a swizz
Would you game these Mark? That 6 iron distance is crazy
Cleveland CL or Wilson Dynapower???
Cleveland has been a secret weapon on the Tour for a long time. Quality tools.
Golf Clubs and Golf balls are so expensive because companies give them to millionaire PGA professionals for free!
You know what with all you golf club review guys who have low handicap’s you need to get some numpty who has a handicap as big as a phone number to test these to get a true idea
Would be interesting to see these vs Srixon Zx4
My wedges are all Cleveland Smart Sole. As a high handicapper those things are like cheat codes and a fraction of the price of a Vokey
I have read that the average quality driver costs about 96.00 to produce. Figure it out.
Of course golf clubs, like everything else, are more expensive. If a golfer wants the latest and greatest driver, irons, wedges and putter and has the financial means, they should go for it. However, I can’t afford new clubs and have found tremendous value in buying “old” clubs. Plus I don’t care about club appearance, I only care about results. Second hand irons like Ping Eye 2’s, Tommy Armour 845’s, Callaway X-12 still provide excellent forgiveness. To hell with golf snobbery. I want to be consistently in the short grass.

Are these irons are the Ripcore, or the Zipcore?
Mark is amongst my got to online reviews. What he says matches up with my experience. On my third set of Cleveland irons. TA5's, CG16's last year's Launcher XL's. Spent years trying to gap wedges, went all Cleveland about a decade ago. Now carry CBX Zipcore 46*, 50*, 54* a more solid feel. 58* RTX ZipCore for hard wet sand. The price value cannot be beat. In my old age, 73, have gone to ReCoil graphite shafts. Very low dispersion. Get fitted or know your swing better than the fitters, plenty of YourTube reviews to see pros and cons. Remember most of thou guys are swinging 10 to 40 mph than you and consistently good strikes.
Cleveland is not paying tiger and others 50%
I don't know if this is fairly tested, these irons need to be tested by wemon and seniors, where does delofting an iron get it in the air with slower swing speeds, I'm looking at buying my wife some new irons after 20+ years she's 67 , I'm not getting thos principle
Remind me of the 'oversize' irons from the 90s
I will never pay these prices. I go to gigagolf and get them made for 1/3 the cost. Instead of off the rack for $1000
GreatvidepMark. .a brand of quality that's often overlooked. ⛳️⛳️
Am I the only person wondering what a bomber is? And what does “dial in distance” actually mean?
I’d always wondered what happened to Timmy mallet…………
Mark – show us some swings at 75 mph and let’s see where us mere mortals need to transition to hybrids!
Of course we're being ripped off. Most of the 'tech' is marketing nonsense. €1,500 for irons made in China for €7. Thanks TaylorMade
How would you compare the launcher XL and the Zipcore XL ????????
the 588 tt irons come to mind looking at these
I’m looking to purchase a new set of irons. I bought some cobra f max (2017) last year. I like them but want some newer ones. Last year I would say was my 1st year playing. I’m still new. I’m torn between mizuno jpx 923 hot metals and these. Which would you choose for a beginner?
Looks like hotmetal family of clubs , loverly!!
The prices of clubs is ridiculous. I’m pretty comfortable financially and I would never spend the money they want on new clubs because it’s ridiculous. I bought my mom the Cleveland wedges for Christmas and they looked amazing and sounded amazing great wedges great price can’t imagine their full irons wouldn’t be great as well.
Whats the dispersion front to back
