Zipcore XL Iron Set

So I decided to take up golf again after over a 15 year hiatus and wanted to buy a new set of game improvement clubs since my old set was 25 years old. I over researched game improvement irons and found the Cleveland Zipcore irons. I previously had used Cleveland wedges and always thought they were great clubs so I thought I would give the Zipcore irons a try after extensive research and comparison and very happy that I did. They are a great value with very good quality. The sweet spot is huge and the clubs are very forgiving. They are slightly longer/wider than my old irons but barely noticeable. My first trip to the driving range was great. I was amazed how well that I was able to hit the irons. The lofts are stronger than my old clubs but I was able to adjust quickly. I was able to purchase the Cleveland 5-GW Zipcore irons considerably cheaper on Amazon. I would also highly recommend the Cleveland hy-woods and CBX wedges for high handicappers also. Update - I played my first round with my complete set of Cleveland’s today and shot a 99. I was very pleased. If I could have chipped and putted I would have broken 90. If you’re a high handicap player then you definitely should consider Cleveland Golf as part or all of your set.

The clubs themselves are great, so no stars deducted for that. I did have issue, as several have stated, that I only received 1 club (7iron), instead of the full 4-pw set and the original shipment was opened minutes after the driver left. A replacement set was sent out and I received the entire set on the second attempt. When the replacement shipment arrived, I opened it in front of the delivery driver, so that if it happened again, they could confirm as well. Never had issues like this before, but felt it was worth sharing since others have experienced the same thing on this item.

Gained hight and ball goes straight. No pick in distance. Worth the $.

I purchased the 5i through gap wedge (7 clubs) with regular flex graphite shafts. The face of each iron is slightly bigger than the Cobra Air X irons I was previously using. High quality, good price, fast delivery, and easy to hit. I had no chance to familiarize at the range, and first swing with 8i on a par 3, I flew the green and lost the ball in wet woods. It was a “whoa!” moment. 8i was 20 yards further than Cobra 8i. So have to learn and practice. Half way through round I had them figured out. I am 76 and am a high handicapper but have had some very good rounds. I didn’t get fitted for these Cleveland Zipcores but I think they may be very useful for older golfers or anyone who needs irons that are easier to hit. They are rated “gold” on the Golf Digest ‘24 Game Improvement irons review. Enough said. Update: I shot my best round of the year with these Cleveland irons after having them regripped with Golfpride CP2 medium grips. A 42/40=82. These are very easy to hit and I can actually shape a shot.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM, I TRIED TWICE AND BOTH TIMES ONLY RECIEVED THE PITCHING WEDGE.

Way to go Amazon. Great price and selection of Golf clubs. I love Cleveland Zip core irons. Improving my game. Solid

74 yo male, 20 hdcp, was playing Mizuno JPX 923 Hot metals. These Clevelands are much easier to hit and go farther (although lofts are juiced). Won't make me a 10 again, but the game is much easier. And more enjoyable. I thought I ordered senior shafts, but got regulars (senior moment). Working out fine, anyway.

Only have 2 rounds and a few practice sessions on these irons. Large club head & ample sweet spot for higher handicap players. Forgiving and a bit long than my player distance model iron.
