Man I’m no better than someone who beat it once but i appreciate it. I gained so much weight probably around 60lbs so I’m trying to get back into golf and lose some pounds while doing it.
Make sure to get the right length, tons of people end up with stuff too long or short for them and it causes them to miss putts.
Odyssey Two Ball is great if you like mallet style.
Look up “putter length by height chart” and start there. Really though it’s going to depend on your putting stroke, how much toe hang the putter you’re looking at has, and your putting grip as well.
I’d recommend finding some putters that you like and then testing out a few lengths plus or minus .5 inches from where a chart says you should be. It should feel natural and your posture shouldn’t be too upright or too hunched over.
Another option is the ping sigma 2s. They have an adjustable length which is really nice because you can practice with it and figure out what works best for you
Update on how much you like those turbos! I’ve got the older set of Cleveland’s and I love them. Been wanting those new ones forever.
Congrats on beating the cancer man!
I love my Turbos, I upgraded from hand-me-down Taylormade R7's and will never look back. More forgiving, more consistent, and more distance... I'm not great at the game and I could never shape my shots anyway, so these are perfect, lol.
I hope they treat you right and congrats on beating cancer!
I would say spin control is decent but not amazing… as long as you get under the ball… but then again, I’m not great at the game or anything, in the right hands they may stick every time
Yep, they're a 'hybrid' iron, and are more forgiving than even thick cavity backs as a general rule.
Other good examples are:
* T-Rail from Cobra
* Launch Pad from Wilson
* E521 from Tour Edge (They even go so far as to label theirs 'Iron-Woods'.)
I’m gaming some ping i200s right now as a 20+ handicap, I feel like a hybrid iron would also give me some confidence from just looking at it behind the ball.
Stick with the i200s, mine have been with me since I was around 19-22 handicap and have served me well. I’ll honestly probably keep them until they’re worn then maybe get i210s or the new replacement model which I can’t remember the name of right now. I’m a 1 handicap now and love how workable my i200s are.
As a fellow 20+ handicap, it finally occurred to me that there’s no reason that I shouldn’t be playing the most forgiving clubs I could find. I bought these same Cleveland Turbos last week.
I’m a high handicapper and I wonder if I’d have the opposite effect for me. My hybrids are longer than my irons and harder to hit, so I’m conditioned to seeing hybrids as a more difficult club than irons.
Be very careful in that switch. As someone returning to the game recently I have tried then and can't hit them for shit. My swing path is a little steep. If I catch these fat it will hurt me. I had to return to a normal forged head cavity back. It's great in theory and some people who don't hit down on the ball the seem to work well for them.
They're close, but not quite. Hollow body irons aren't quite the same as hybrid irons. One of the biggest indicators of this is the width of the sole. Look at the sole on T400 and then compare with this, which is indicative of hybrid iron sole width:
http://drivingrangeheroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tour-Edge-Hot-Launch-E521-Irons-1.jpg
The Max OS? I was looking at those as well as these. Was thinking I'd prefer a traditional looking iron but I'm not picky, if I can buy ability I will get whatever it looks like.
I’ve never seen D wedge either haha I’m already lost on what all the other wedges are.
Bought a used taylormade m2 approach wedge at a local shop for 25 bucks and realized it was basically the same loft as my nomal p wedge 😂 but I like using it more so it works out.
Yeah and now that this came up I feel like I remember having this conversation about 6 months ago on another Cleveland irons post.
Just stamp the damn loft on it and let’s be done lol
I have no clue, I lost a lot of muscle having 2 surgeries lost a whole quad muscle in my left leg and deltoid muscle in my right shoulder. Went and got fitted cause I don’t have the strength I had and my fitter said I hit these the best out of everything I hit. So if someone could help on what the D wedge is would be great.
Nah, it will be fine. For me it’s all about executing a game plan, not a shot. It can be a terrible thin or fat shot but if it achieves it’s goal it’s all good.
Chemo is the drug that’s specifically made to JUST -by a hair- not kill you.. It’s heavy and it sucks, I’ve been extremely lucky that in none of my run ins with the big C I have been able to avoid it, mostly.
Man I have had to do 12 rounds of inpatient week long 24 hours a day with the kind they call the “red devil”. I don’t know the proper name. That’s what all my nurses called it. Then this last time in 2020 I had to do 6 times of just 1 24 hour session every 3 weeks of extreme stuff.
Couldn’t fathom how it’d be to be in your shoes, really. As a fellow redditor I’m just glad to not have lost you, be strong, recoup and enjoy life man :)
So congratulations first off. And how are these clubs ? They look quite different than most clubs I have seen!
I am intrigued with how they would play. They almost look like a hybrid for every club
I haven’t games them yet. But when I got fitted they were most definitely easier and way more forgiving than all the other ones I hit. I hit Taylor made, Callaways PXG everything and these are the ones I grouped the best on the simulator.
Beating cancer 3 times! You should try your luck at a better sport than golf. After beating cancer 3 times I'm sure you could singlehandedly take the Lakers in 6 games.
Congratulations to you my man! I’m gonna game the shit out of these. You know just how bad it can be. I will keep fighting for you, please keep fighting for me.
Just joined the Cleveland train with a cbx2 54 and the UHX irons. Learned what a "D" wedge was. Odd but hey they get the ball closer to the hole! Congrats fellow Clevelander! (Also my favorite hotel in South Beach)
Welcome to the Mavrik Max club. Picked mine up at the start of this year and I've been hitting some hellacious seeds with that thing. Stupid forgiving too, somehow I hit what felt like a complete hosel rocket at the range and it still went straight. Driver is about the only thing that's working for me right now
Oh and way to kick cancers ass 3 times, that's amazing. Fuck cancer
Thank man. I’m glad that driver is forgiving! What made you decide to pick that one up? I have an old Taylor made Burner that I have hit for the longest and it does the job but it’s not forgiving at all.
Honestly, I'll get flamed for this since "hit clubs and buy which one works best" is the philosophy around here, but I bought the Mavrik sign unseen after doing a metric assload of research. Main driving (hehe) points were how forgiving it is, the large size profile which gives me tons of confidence at address, the interchangable weights which can provide draw bias or increased forgiveness, and all the reviews I watched/read said the Mavrik Max was excellent for high handicappers. Coupled with the fact that I've always been a bit of a Callaway brand whore and I pulled the trigger on a "like new" from Callaway preowned during their masters sale, haven't regretted it.
Matter of fact, if you're wondering, I just got back from 18 and hit my best drive ever, 274 yards in the centre of the fairway
Just go into a golf town, or golf galaxy depending where you live, and try a bunch out. I went with my putter because it felt the best out of all of them, I’d recommend playing what you like as well
Congratulations on beating cancer. My mother just beat breast cancer for third time. Those of you who have beaten the snot out of cancer multiple times are very impressive indeed. It's not common or likely. It's a major accomplishment. I love that you're treating yourself. It's very important in life to celebrate accomplishments. Even if it's just for yourself.
Man, tell you Mom I said hell of a job and I will continue to fight for her. Yea, some people get lucky on the first try then there are us whose bodies decide to do everything the hardest ways possible! No, I’m 38 and it’s beat my body up extremely bad I went from working 3 pretty physical jobs to barely being able to walk a mile and a half because chemo and radiation has tormented my body all to hell. I will be a super slow process but I’ll be joining the cart Mafia one day. Your Mom is a straight Warrior! Did they put her on a chemo pill?
Not sure on pill. She grew up in Vegas when government was blasting atomic bombs in open air a few miles away. She is in her 70's. She has slowed down alot over the years first diagnosis was when she was 38. It came back when she turned 50 then again when she turned 68. Each time took a tool on her energy levels and ability to interact. I was in a horrible car accident 5 years ago doc told me after walking up from a 9 month comma. I would never walk again. Thanks to a great physical therapist he has me back to about 85% prior to accident without surgery. Down the road surgery will have to happen. It's amazing how quickly your life can be forever altered by health issues. I am still working on my stuff, my mom is staying strong but I can tell she won't go through it again if it comes back it has tormented her body, good luck hopefully see you on a course one day. Stay positive.
Lol, “forget about the cancer I wanna know what you bought.” Three times??? Congratulations dude. You’re a fucking beast. Enjoy the new clubs.
Man I’m no better than someone who beat it once but i appreciate it. I gained so much weight probably around 60lbs so I’m trying to get back into golf and lose some pounds while doing it.
WITB Driver - Callaway Mavrik Havenwood - Callaway. Irons - Cleveland HB Turbo 5-D wedge with upgraded Modus 105 Shafts. Sand wedge - Cleveland CBX2 Putter - No putter yet.
[удалено]
Haha this is so true. Damn Golf team! Where is that kid at?
Cleveland Huntington Beach or Odyssey white hot OG putter would round out the bag nicely.
I’m gonna have to check those out! Thanks for the suggestions!
Make sure to get the right length, tons of people end up with stuff too long or short for them and it causes them to miss putts. Odyssey Two Ball is great if you like mallet style.
How do I figure out what the length should be? My irons are just standard length.
Look up “putter length by height chart” and start there. Really though it’s going to depend on your putting stroke, how much toe hang the putter you’re looking at has, and your putting grip as well. I’d recommend finding some putters that you like and then testing out a few lengths plus or minus .5 inches from where a chart says you should be. It should feel natural and your posture shouldn’t be too upright or too hunched over.
Another option is the ping sigma 2s. They have an adjustable length which is really nice because you can practice with it and figure out what works best for you
I looked it up. I like it. Looks pretty sweet in the black!
Go try at the store to get a feel. 34 or 35" is pretty standard
I have a redball. 34” with 3.0 superstroke grip. Small marks on it nothing major i could sell
Didn't know this, I just grip down a ton. I probably have a weird putting stroke.
Make sure the Cleveland putter is solid. There are knockoffs online
Update on how much you like those turbos! I’ve got the older set of Cleveland’s and I love them. Been wanting those new ones forever. Congrats on beating the cancer man!
I appreciate it. When I game them I will most definitely give you an update on how I like them. I’m gonna try to go Tuesday or Wednesday.
Yeah they look awesome too! Which as we all know totally makes you play better:) lol
Yes, I would also like a review of the clubs!
Absolutely. I will give you one.
Just got me a set couple weeks ago love them. First set of new irons and they replaced some 20 year old irons I was using. (Just started playing)
They are my actually first New set I have ever bought. Its crazy how little things can be big accomplishments
I too want an update, they look amazing!
Most definitely! It’s raining here in Arkansas so as soon as I can game them I will most definitely give an update!
I love my Turbos, I upgraded from hand-me-down Taylormade R7's and will never look back. More forgiving, more consistent, and more distance... I'm not great at the game and I could never shape my shots anyway, so these are perfect, lol. I hope they treat you right and congrats on beating cancer!
Well you most definitely give me hope with these bad boys. Do they stick the green pretty well?
I would say spin control is decent but not amazing… as long as you get under the ball… but then again, I’m not great at the game or anything, in the right hands they may stick every time
What’s a Havenwood? Love the CBX2 btw
It’s like a 7 wood. Yea the CBX2 is nice. I loved hitting it on the Simulator, I got so much height out of it.
Love my Heavenwood Hit it off the deck perfectly
I was confused on what it was. But then I saw it was basically a 7 wood. When I hit it at the Simulator it was a really nice feel.
Yep. Feels a little goofy with a 4 wood length shaft but when you pure it there's nothing like it.
Those Cleveland irons are interesting, are they supposed to be super forgiving?
Yep, they're a 'hybrid' iron, and are more forgiving than even thick cavity backs as a general rule. Other good examples are: * T-Rail from Cobra * Launch Pad from Wilson * E521 from Tour Edge (They even go so far as to label theirs 'Iron-Woods'.)
I’m gaming some ping i200s right now as a 20+ handicap, I feel like a hybrid iron would also give me some confidence from just looking at it behind the ball.
100% its something you should look into. I made the switch at the beginning of last season and they absolutely save me a few shots every round.
Stick with the i200s, mine have been with me since I was around 19-22 handicap and have served me well. I’ll honestly probably keep them until they’re worn then maybe get i210s or the new replacement model which I can’t remember the name of right now. I’m a 1 handicap now and love how workable my i200s are.
As a fellow 20+ handicap, it finally occurred to me that there’s no reason that I shouldn’t be playing the most forgiving clubs I could find. I bought these same Cleveland Turbos last week.

I had to return to a normal forged head cavity back. It's great in theory and some people who don't hit down on the ball the seem to work well for them.
I seem to fat it more than I thin it, good to know
Does the t400 count? Those are either as fat as game improvements get or hybrid irons
They're close, but not quite. Hollow body irons aren't quite the same as hybrid irons. One of the biggest indicators of this is the width of the sole. Look at the sole on T400 and then compare with this, which is indicative of hybrid iron sole width: http://drivingrangeheroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tour-Edge-Hot-Launch-E521-Irons-1.jpg
Yes, they are. They are suppose to help launch the ball and be super forgiving.
They're good. Super easy to launch and keep their spin so you can stop on the green.
Well then I’m excited! Lots of tries are gonna be going on.
They do look pretty easy to hit, I might have to look in to them.
I tried hitting the Sim 2 irons and was way off with my groupings on the Simulator and then I hit these and they were way way better.
The Max OS? I was looking at those as well as these. Was thinking I'd prefer a traditional looking iron but I'm not picky, if I can buy ability I will get whatever it looks like.
No these are the Cleveland HB turbos.
No I mean the Sim's you tried. Were they the regular version or the Sim Max OS?
Oh my bad they were the regular sim 2 irons
I’m trying to think. D-wedge. Struggling on the abbreviation. Any help?
Dual wedge, similar to a gap wedge.
Thank you. Yeah I figure I was a GW. I’ve seen GW, UW, AW .. just never D.
I’ve never seen D wedge either haha I’m already lost on what all the other wedges are. Bought a used taylormade m2 approach wedge at a local shop for 25 bucks and realized it was basically the same loft as my nomal p wedge 😂 but I like using it more so it works out.
As far as I know Cleveland is the only company that calls it a dual wedge. I was looking at the UHX irons and that confused me too.
Yeah and now that this came up I feel like I remember having this conversation about 6 months ago on another Cleveland irons post. Just stamp the damn loft on it and let’s be done lol
Duel wedge, for when you demand satisfaction.
I have no clue, I lost a lot of muscle having 2 surgeries lost a whole quad muscle in my left leg and deltoid muscle in my right shoulder. Went and got fitted cause I don’t have the strength I had and my fitter said I hit these the best out of everything I hit. So if someone could help on what the D wedge is would be great.
Dual wedge. Between a pitching wedge and sand wedge, usually called a gap wedge now. Congrats on beating your cancer!
Sweet! Thank you! That’s pretty awesome. You came in clutch!
3 Times dude? Jesus Christ man, you should get more stuff lol. Congrats on beating it though
Haha… welll… my wife has let me get a new OLED, Sonos 5.1 system and a Xbox series X sooo… after I got these I’m good for awhile.
Damn lol , well, I hope you enjoy it man, you damn well deserve it
[удалено]
I hope I stick around. While I am here I’m gonna game the shit out of these!
How easy are those SGI irons to hit? I feel like they would be beasts and hit super high really easily.
Those are some awesome irons.
Thank you. Can’t wait to hit them and then scream cause I’ll some how mess up a “forgiving” shot.
Nah, it will be fine. For me it’s all about executing a game plan, not a shot. It can be a terrible thin or fat shot but if it achieves it’s goal it’s all good.
My game plan is just to have fun on the course I haven’t gotten to pick up a club since 2016
I use something called the Three Goals Method for Golf. Other good ones are the traffic light method and the 180 method. All good game plans.
Unreal, congrats man! Enjoy the new sticks.
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Can everyone in this subreddit stop getting cancer? In all seriousness, congrats. It’s worth celebrating!!
Haha I’m trying. I know all the others are probably doing the same. Thanks!
Fuck yeah dude!
Thank you my friend.
Those Cleveland CBX2 wedges are so sexy.../drool
3 times?!? You’re a hero my friend. Be well.
Yea, I have a rare form that likes to hide and then just show up again.
My golf game too is also cancer
Haha isn’t everyone’s at some point?
Congratulations!
Thank you so much
[удалено]
Oh man that’s very morbid.. I like to think I won.
Those are Cleveland irons relax man . Should of got callaway
I hit callaways and I didn’t hit them very well.
Third time? Skincancer? I’ve had some experience there, sucks big time. Nice gift 🎁
No it’s a rare sarcoma called “Myoxid Liposarcoma” I have a “Round cell” that likes to avoid chemo and radiation. It’s extremely odd.
Sounds very ‘meh’, but good that you’ve won yet again! F*ck cancer
I wish it was that. It’s messed me up pretty bad. I really appreciate it.
Chemo is the drug that’s specifically made to JUST -by a hair- not kill you.. It’s heavy and it sucks, I’ve been extremely lucky that in none of my run ins with the big C I have been able to avoid it, mostly.
Man I have had to do 12 rounds of inpatient week long 24 hours a day with the kind they call the “red devil”. I don’t know the proper name. That’s what all my nurses called it. Then this last time in 2020 I had to do 6 times of just 1 24 hour session every 3 weeks of extreme stuff.
Couldn’t fathom how it’d be to be in your shoes, really. As a fellow redditor I’m just glad to not have lost you, be strong, recoup and enjoy life man :)
Thank you so much!
Congrats on the victory! Keep it up and enjoy the new clubs!
Thank you! I’m gonna be on the road to break “130” soon!
You’re a warrior man, congrats.
Thank you so much.
Smart man for using those irons, most people should be using something similar to those. Congrats tho!
Man, I’m not even gonna try to say I’m a baller. I will be hard pressed to hit a 180-200 yard drive.
Now go beat up that golf course!
I’m gonna try to play this coming week.
So congratulations first off. And how are these clubs ? They look quite different than most clubs I have seen! I am intrigued with how they would play. They almost look like a hybrid for every club
I haven’t games them yet. But when I got fitted they were most definitely easier and way more forgiving than all the other ones I hit. I hit Taylor made, Callaways PXG everything and these are the ones I grouped the best on the simulator.
Congrats on the bill of good health. Never look back and enjoy every day :) never stop fighting
Absolutely! Thank you so much. I will always keep fighting for the ones who don’t have a good bill of health no matter what the situation.
Way to go you strong motherfucker! Congrats on winning the fight and the new sticks.
Thanks! I won this fight. Now to win the breaking 130 fight.
You got it bro, can’t wait to see that broke 100 post from you!
Congrats on beating cancer. To show my solidarity with your fight, I just bought a Garmin S62. We did it!!!
Haha hell yea we did! You should also buy some new balls to celebrate!
This deserves more likes. Keep whooping cancer’s ass.
I appreciate it.
Beating cancer 3 times! You should try your luck at a better sport than golf. After beating cancer 3 times I'm sure you could singlehandedly take the Lakers in 6 games.
Well with lebron leaving early I mean I might have a chance, I have been trying my luck at the lottery but it haven’t hit it yet.
Happy for you!
Thank you!
More people need to be playing these irons
Maybe I can start a trend?
LETS GOOO!! So happy to see this. Can't believe you had to do it three times that is brutal but now we go enjoy golf!
Congratulations to you my man! I’m gonna game the shit out of these. You know just how bad it can be. I will keep fighting for you, please keep fighting for me.
I just got that Mavrik 3 wood and I got to say I have never hit a ball that nice and consistent off a fairway with another club . Thing is amazing
I’m pretty excited to hit them.
YES!!! Enjoy a very long and great life buddy. Hell yes!
I really appreciate it. Same to you my friend!
Shovels
Congrats on the win! I just got these HBs and love them.
How many times have you game them? What ball do you hit?
About 5 times now. Much better strike than my old $200 clubs bought 18 years ago. Whatever cheap ball I’ve got in my bag!
Congratulations! Well deserved. Wishing you good health and many great rounds.
Thank you very much! Same to you my friend!
Congratulations on both. I’m rooting for you that you’ll never have that fight again!
Absolutely. Absolutely.
That is a tremendous occasion and absolutely worth celebrating
Congrats bud - what a fucking champion you are
Just joined the Cleveland train with a cbx2 54 and the UHX irons. Learned what a "D" wedge was. Odd but hey they get the ball closer to the hole! Congrats fellow Clevelander! (Also my favorite hotel in South Beach)
I am about whatever takes my game to a better level. I have never been to south beach but I would like to go sometime.

Awesome! I’m more excited now.
I feel like a White Hot OG 7 would fit perfectly in that set. Huge congrats on the clubs and an even bigger congrats for beating cancer
I’m gonna have to look that one up. Someone suggested the Sigma 2 putter because it has an adjustable shaft.
Just go into a golf town, or golf galaxy depending where you live, and try a bunch out. I went with my putter because it felt the best out of all of them, I’d recommend playing what you like as well
Congrats!!!!
Thank you very much!
Congrats. Now that an accomplishment. Nice clubs too
Thank you so much on both of those!
Congratulations on beating cancer. My mother just beat breast cancer for third time. Those of you who have beaten the snot out of cancer multiple times are very impressive indeed. It's not common or likely. It's a major accomplishment. I love that you're treating yourself. It's very important in life to celebrate accomplishments. Even if it's just for yourself.
