ole gray Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Cleveland Launcher CBX Irons review- Official MGS forum member review by HeathS16 Part 5: “To Be Or Not To Be.†Will the CBXs remain in my bag? I think they have to, this is MGS, so despite the way I feel about them if I keep shooting in the 70s why in the heck would I toss them out of the bag? I gamed them for my first golf league experience and they got me to within 1 stroke of winning points 3 times, so obviously they perform under pressure. I guess what I am saying is I will keep them in the bag until I find something that can do the same things but are a forged head, and a bit more workable (snobbish I know) and fit me a bit better. That being said, I think this set is a perfect for any 10-30 handicap golfer. It will do all of the things it says it will do; easy to hit, inspires confidence, solid feel and fast ball speed. If you're in the market for a solid set of forgiving and controllable irons I would certainly give these a look. Keep it score: 16 out of 20 P.S. In case I am too long winded I set off on this review journey with a decision to make. I had to decide whether or not to replace my beloved iron set. Like I said before, the Clevelands were going to have to earn their way into to my bag and they did enough to win the spot. I am not in love with these irons but I cannot deny that they are a solid set and worth a look. I do not feel as though they excel at one thing or another but do everything well. Honestly, they lost points on just a few small things that added up, (paint chipping cost 4 pts) They are not the spinniest irons, but they will hold a green. Nor are they the thinnest irons but are aimed to be more forgiving. The forgiveness is offered through a great piece of engineering in the v-sole; giving your turf interaction a significant boost especially out of the rough. They do what they say they are going to do, help you play better. In the end, if the equipment helps you get the ball in the hole, you'd be stupid not to use it right? FINAL SCORE: 88 out of 100 Bag Shot.JPG Great job Heath! You put a ton of work into this review and covered all the bases. I loved you honesty while covering every detail a potential buyer could ask for. Well done!

HeathS16 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 My brother in law needs to go the route of one of these two iron sets. He really struggles with his irons and thought the cobra one length would be the solution and they aren't. He absolutely loves his cbx wedges though I can't speak for the HBs but if he wants the same tech in his iron set as the CBX wedges I'd have him take a serious look at the CBX Launchers. They perform.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 B O O M goes the dynamite !!! Sweet round buddy! There should be a thread reserved only for MGS irons testers that tracks their improvement from old set to new set. It'd be cool to see which irons gave the most improvement - no matter what they are - GI/SGI/Players... sounds like you and @Wedgie would have a good lead on the pack! That's a great idea. And sounds like something Gs_Studque could whip up this winter during some down time.

Now you need to go into your settings and update that awesome handicap. Now when Peanut posts his Stage 2, our testing group will have finished the task! I'm a bit surprised that our stage 2 threads have not received the views/likes that I had hoped for. Cleveland has an awesome product out this year. We worked hard to have the info available for all to see the performance and value we enjoy.

russtopherb Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The deed is done, it isn't as good as the other two who certainly set the bar high! Enjoy guys! Excellent Stage 2 Heath! Informative and entertaining too, I love it. Glad to see you shooting some great scores with these irons. I'm guessing that the lower you go, the more the looks of the longer irons will start to appeal to you Disappointing about the paintfill - that makes 2 iron reviews recently from different OEMs with paintfill issues. Interesting.
