We tested: 3-PW in True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.25"/30.5°
Company line: "CG Red has a compact head for shotmaking and workability. Our "Gelback" technology is vibration-tuned for accomplished players who want a soft feel on well-struck shots but require more responsiveness on off-center hits. The micro-cavity stiffens the topline for optimal energy transfer, more distance and forgiveness."
Voted Best for Forgiveness in 2008 ClubTest
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Dependable, confidence-inspiring package; overall forgiveness is its best trait; gets out of trouble and creates scoring opportunities; longer irons pleasingly
easy to hit; adequate when trying to work the ball; super-friendly across the face; muted feel, not to be confused with dead feel; lots of room for misses; for players who want forgiveness and not-so-intense feel.
CONS: Not overly nimble on chips; could use more precise feedback for delicate shots; red insert is a visual turnoff.
"You can shape shots without the sting of poorly struck ones."— Hoai Hoang (9)
