Nicklaus CGX

Summary:
Like a lot of others, I thought the medallion stories were just bad luck. Bought a set on eBay for $115 (3-SW). A steal. These are terrific irons - at least 8-10 yards longer. Straight, high. But the first round I played, hit a great 8-iron to the green, happen to look at the back - the medallion's barely hanging on. Pushed it back in. But now every time I hit, I'm worried that I might lose the backing. I'll take these to a shop and epoxy the medallions.

Customer Service:
Sucks. They emailed and gave me some corporae BS about "proof of purchase" and they would "look into it." Extremely disappointed. Love the irons, hate the service and product flaws.

If it's made, I've hit it.

Nicklaus CGX

Summary:
Well I have to say that these clubs are good for the money. I have had a set now for over a year and now the weighted medallions have started to fall out of the 4 iron and 8 iron. But other than that these clubs are a good deal for the money. I was shooting about 92 to 88 when I bought these clubs and now I shoot in the 70s sometimes but mostly 80s and I learnedto this on these clubs. I still have them and just bought a set of 762 to see if I can improve my game more but if I have to I will use them again.

Customer Service:
Ordered clubs 2 upright and 1 longer recieved them 3 days but the medallions were different colors.

Summary:
Just bought theses irons and love them.
I was consistantly hitting in the hundreds. Somewhere between 102 and 115.
I've played three rounds now with the CGX's and I shot in order 99, 96, 95.
They feel great off the ball and I feel comfortable with them on lining up to the ball.

Customer Service:
2* Up.

Nicklaus CGX Irons

Summary:
I have been a serious Titleist iron lover for years (three sets of DCI's thusfar) and was planning to get the new DCI when the manager at Pro Golf had me try several other irons.I hit the Pings, Nikes, and Cleveland irons (all in a simulator) and quickly ruled them out for various reasons. It all came down to the DCI's and the Nicklaus CGX and I love the way that both of them feel and could be happy with either. A few key facts:
1.The Nicklaus irons are significantly less expensive.
2.They come with Fujikura graphite shafts standard. (I don't know of any other clubs that do this).
3.A five year warranty on these clubs.
4.A free sand wedge also ($119 value)

I could not be more happy with this decision...after struggling in the mid 80's all year, I shot 76 the first time out with these clubs. They are one to one and a half club longer than my previous DCI's. You owe it to yourself to hit these clubs before to decide on a purchase because Nicklaus doesn't spend the advertising dollars that the "big" companies spend.

Nicklaus CGX

Summary:
Had 3 terrible rounds with my Titleist 962's.(steel shaft)I had resorted to these after I could no longer control my distance with my Toski grafites.
Had my mind made up that I needed a new set of sticks with steel shafts.My golf partner met me at Golf Headquaters to help me spend my money.My Wife was in Disney World with My grown daughter and kids. She left me in charge with check book.Price was not a problem. Tried out Calloway's, Adams, Taylor Made and Nicklaus CGX. Kept going back and hitting CGX's. Paid for them and met golf partner in in parking lot. Most people would take new set of irons to driving range and get to know them right? Not me, partner made a tee time for 1 1/2 hr later. Got on first tee and flubbed my drive.I was left with 200 yards to green. Took brand new 4 iron out of bag which had not even been introduced to a ball yet. Made a few practice swings and then swung away.Ball fligh with a gentle draw (have never drawn the ball in my entire life)landed just in front of the green and rolled to the center about 15 foot from cup. I'm hooked!First time playing with these clubs and scored just as good with clubs that I have been using for years.
Can't wait until my wife returns home so I can tell her how much money I saved her while she was gone by not buying Callaway's.
