Cleveland Golf

Cleveland Golf introduced several new products for 2004. The CG1 irons feature a forged design made from a patent pending CMM (Carbon Metal Matrix) material which offers a softer and more responsive feel. This material was also used in their CG10 wedges which come in a low (one dot), standard (two dot), and high (three dot) bounce options. To complement the Launcher Titanium 400cc driver introduced last year, a 460cc driver was added to their lineup as well as Launcher Titanium fairway woods. The TA6, a game improvement iron, has material moved from the cavity to the sole and perimeter for increased launch and added forgiveness.

SRP: CG1 irons/$799, CG10 wedges/$119, Launcher Titanium 460cc driver/$299, Launcher Titanium fairway/$229, TA6/$499

MacGregor Golf

MacGregor Golf continues to build momentum that started two years ago under new ownership. The new V-FOIL Eye-O-Matic driver is already in the bags of Aaron Baddley and Lee Janzen. Made from an extremely thick (2.75mm) and exotic version beta titanium, the face provides maximum COR, explosive power, and increased forgiveness. The V-FOIL M455 game improvement iron should do well for the mid to high handicapped players. The center of gravity in the irons was moved lower and deeper creating a larger hitting. Bobby Grace putters, now part of MacGregor, offers the V-FOIL MOI series and M-series line of putters.

SRP: V-FOIL Eye-O-Matic driver/$299, V-FOIL M455 irons/$699 graphite/$599 steel, V-FOIL MOI putters/$209, M-Series putters/$199
