Excellent Stage 1. Loved all the pics, great start!

 

I'll be interested to hear of any feel differences going from the forged to the CBX, especially on those "not so hot" hits.

Honestly, these irons are going to have to outright beat my Nikes for me to put them in the bag.  I hit my current set very well and love the looks/feel of them as well. Therefore the new technology is going to have to earn its spot in my bag. The attribute that drew me to want to test the CBX Lanuchers was the precision and accuracy that Cleveland raved about.  So naturally I am looking for consistency and accuracy. I want to know when I pull the club out of my bag what distance it is going to go. Here is exactly what the CBX irons will have to do to earn their spot: They have to go consistent distances, with consistent ball flight to hit a spot time after time.  The irons will also have to be forgiving for days when I am not striking it well. Accuracy must be there as well. I want to be able to pull a club and know that I can count on the shot shape to get me to the hole; I feel as though spin will fall in this category as well. Something that I want to measure as well is feel, I love having forged irons and I am very worried that the CBX irons, being cast, will not have the same soft feel.  Things I am not looking for, more distance, more ball speed, lower ball flight, these things are characteristics that would turn me away from these clubs. I am looking forward to the next part of this review as the Cleveland irons will battle it out against the Nikes for supremacy in my bag! The biggest question is whether or not the CBX's technology will give them the ability to boot the Nikes out of my bag and my life forever.

 

Another great stage 1, excellent work sir.

Nice job Heath.

Hey buddy I can't wait until you come up and smack these HBs around.  These irons are a huge benefit for guys dealing with joint, back, and other physical issues!

I noticed that too!! I just didn't think about it! my plan is to break down the specs a bit on stage 2 so and also use Arccos to break down the performance of my gamers and the launchers. So I'll be sure and feed you some numbers!!!

Now on to the fun part

[Golfspy_CG2]

Really enjoyed that read Peanut.  I'm so anxious to hear what you think of these compared to the Apex, one of the best selling irons on the market the past two years.  They do indeed have a stern test ahead of them.

[JohnSmalls]

It took me down a notch or two however it was like sitting on a porcupine quill, It sticks with ya. Needless to say I was happier than an elephant in peanut harvesting season.

 

 

This ladies and gentlemen is what keeps us coming back for more. Well done OG!

[deejaid]

Very entertaining Stage 1 fellas!

No offense, but whatever you're doing there the type font is so small I'd have to go to the store and buy a magnifying glass, or I'd have to press my face against the screen and risk going cross-eyed, to be able to read it - and as much as I want to hear about these irons it's just not worth it. ... Please increase the font size for us old blind guys.

Not sure I follow. His text is the same size as all the others reviews, from whst I see.

Are you having issues with the images or the video or the text itself?

 

Nvm, I solved the issue.  When I posted it originally it was in size 14 font....somehow, idk how, it got switched to size 10.  I am still puzzled as to how that happened, but whatever, it is back to its original size and should be good to go.

I know the Cobra Connect Challenge has gotten a lot of attention and rightfully so but don't forget about the Cleveland testing going on. A couple of us are lighting these clubs up.

The course I played today had bag upon bag of these clubs being tested in the pro shop. Wow I couldn't even consider looking down at them but the one guy I was paired with today sure could have used them.

I have found that looking at the ball and not the club has helped me. That being said I get it but those that can the results have been amazing for me.

My local pro is playing these and he's killing them. Playing 4-5 strokes better since he's changed over. Crazy good for him.

That is awesome! They could really be good for a ton of golfers let alone a pro.

Spoiler number 2, I shot 77 as well my second round out with the Launchers. First time breaking 80 on a course other than a par 70. It was a par 71.

Unless you have a God given talent with golf, you shouldn't snub these irons.  They are frigging amazing and that's all I got to say right now.......

[deejaid]

I am loving hearing how well these HB irons are working for you guys. It's partially why I've now put three Perfect Clubs 18*, 21*, & 27*) in my bag. I've also watched Mark Crossfields video where he raves about the HB irons as well.

 

I've always liked narrow soled irons but this is really cool to see a different design play so well for so many people. Just seem like awesome clubs!

@ole gray....I am looking forward to playing your home course in a couple of days. Washed the babies up today and they are ready to head south. 60% chance of rain but 100% chance of a good time.

Yup you can take the good time being had to the bank because that's a lock.  The weather in Georgia can be hit or miss and it depends a lot on the time of day.  Most of our thunderstorms roll in late afternoon .  I'll be there early around 8:30 so if you come by then we'll have time to warm up and maybe head out around 9:10 ish.  We'll either go off then or we can go with the 9:28 crowd.
