Summary: Well I decided to get these as my first blades and I liked them a lot. The CMM material mixed with the muscle back design really made these clubs feel super soft. The sensicore shafts may have had some role in the softness too. But to keep it simple here are the Pros/Cons
Pros:
Feels soft, easy to control (really easy), accurate and solid iron all around
Cons: CMM material is very "dentable" if that's a word...just look at the used CG1 or CG4 at the shop. other than that..no problems here
Overall, love the cllubs but sadly I must let them go for back injury reason and lack of time to handle blades for now.
Customer Service: Got them at Golfsmith (Westminster, CO) and they rock...but never needed customer service from Cleveland

Summary: It's been 3 weeks now after I bought these babies on EBAY. Cops are still chasing me..$132 with Graphite shafts. First set of irons with Graphite for me and well let's see. First round 4 birdies! a few miss hits wich i was reminded of but all in all these are great clubs. I can work the ball again and I now have my normal distance again. I grew up plying Walter Hagen muscleback irons for 20 years and played to a 5 handicap. Was convinced to upgrade to cast cavityback in the 90's and lost feel and control. Last set were Hogan forged Edge and they were good but no comparison. As for graphite shafts I still feel the ball strikes and most important the head of the club in the swing. The running joke with my group is..they tell me they don't like the soundof them...I reply...I love the results!
Customer Service: N/A

Summary: I have used the cg1 irons for just over 3 months now, and i have found them easier to play with than normal cavity back clubs. I now have the confidence to shape shots and hit different types of shots with different clubs. The ability to stop a 5 iron shot within inches of the first bounces makes going for the greens easier tahn before. If, like me, your a good ball striker but a high handicapper these irons may help bring your score down. I had them custom fitted at a cleveland center, this has proved invalueble as the fitting was free.
Customer Service: Cleveland were very helpful when i bought them. They took me through the pros and cons of using the irons.

Summary: I have found after using the cg1s that if you enjoy not being lied too these clubs are for you. They have a great feel when struck consistently in the middle of the face. But if you are having a bad ballstriking day you will definitely know about it. The company lofts are a bit different, but all in all these clubs have made me the golfer I am today. They take some getting used to but reward great ballstriking with a soft feel at impact and remarkable shot stopping ability. Also these clubs handle well under wear and tear unlike some blades out there. After a while you should know if you hit the ball in the middle more times than not because it WILL show from there youll know if they are for you or not.
