Cleveland 588P Review:

Accuracy

Less-Avg-More
 
Found these irons to be above average in accuracy. Very "blade-like".
Distance

Short-Avg-Long
 
Average distance. Lofts are more traditional than today's irons (5I - 28*, PW - 49*).
Trajectory

Low-Avg-High
 
Average trajectory. Very controllable, especially in the shorter irons (7, 8, 9, PW).
Feel


Less-Avg-More

 

These irons are cast from soft stainless steel and provide postive and negative feedback on all types of shots.

Forgiveness

Less-Avg-More
 

Not very forgiving. "P" version is only slightly more forgiving than the "T" blade version.

Looks
Traditional look with small compact head; gray finish with clean lines and Cleveland script writing; minimal offset; The 588P and 588T models were marketed as a set that could be mixed and matched creating a customized set with similar look and feel based on customer's needs.
