Both sets have better performance on mishits than most players irons, and a solid feel on center strikes. There\u2019s real springiness to the forged faces \u2014 especially the MT irons, which perform like mini hybrids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong>\u00a0Less workability than many players irons. Blade enthusiasts won\u2019t love the thick top lines of the MTs, and the TTs are a bit bulky for a \u201ctour\u201d iron.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong>\u00a0The 588 TT irons are a legitimate step forward from the 588 Forged line, adding distance and performance on shots struck both on and off center. Most players will sacrifice the modicum of\u00a0playability for irons which look and feel this good. The opportunity to add more forgiving hybrid-esque long irons (the MTs) is a significant advantage, as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Overview<\/h2>\n<p>Following up the 588 Forged CB and 588 Forged MB irons, and several years removed from the Black Pearl era of Cleveland Irons, Cleveland Golf released the 588 MT (medium trajectory) and TT (tour trajectory) irons for 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The company intends for the irons (as well as the super game-improvement Altitude series) to be fully interchangeable with one another so golfers can, as Cleveland says, \u201cbuild the perfect set.\u201d Thus, I reviewed the 3 iron (19 degrees) and 4 irons (21 degrees) from the MT line, in conjunction with the 5 iron through pitching wedge (44 degrees) in the TT line.<\/p>\n<p>Both the MT and TT models feature multi-material vibration-dampening inserts that are intended to provide a more consistent feel across the club face. Both models also are equipped with Cleveland\u2019s Forged Face Technology, by which a forged face is essentially inserted into the golf club.<\/p>\n<p>The MTs feature full-hollow construction, which creates \u201cadvanced internal weighting that adds forgiveness and promotes a lower, deeper center of gravity for optimal launch and \u2026 distance.\u201d The line also features progressive blade\u00a0heights, moving from shallower in the long irons to taller in the shorter clubs, while the TTs have a constant blade height and a variable blade length.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance<\/h2>\n<p>The club\u2019s forged face insert is something of a trampoline, and initial ball speeds are quite high. However, the company has improved its way to a potential fault, as the pitching wedge is almost too hot to use around the green.<\/p>\n<p>Between the hot face and the stronger lofts, players will likely be picking up a few yards with each iron. Happily, trajectories shouldn\u2019t be markedly lower, due to the the CG and undercut design.<\/p>\n<p>Both the MT and the TT are remarkably forgiving: Mishits fly father and straighter, and that isn\u2019t just talk. Unless you need to work the ball like Bubba Watson, you\u2019re not going to suffer from the decrease in playability compared to, say, previous 588 Forged models.<\/p>\n<p>The 588 MT irons really get up in the air, which will be a benefit for the vast majority of golfers. However, better players will want to stick with the TTs as their long irons.<\/p>\n<p>The TT\u2019s rounded sole and compact design, in particular, make it a versatile and functional club from the rough, and it\u2019s likely to outperform competitors from the territories outside the fairway due to both sole design and a face that ensures maximum distance on even the least convincing strikes of the golf ball.<\/p>\n<h2>Looks and feel<\/h2>\n<p>In the longer irons, the MTs are reminiscent of the old Mizuno Fli-Hi: long body and wide sole. Depending on playability and personal preference, this may be confidence-inspiring or annyoing. The TTs feature a substantial cavity, but it isn\u2019t visible at address.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEVELAND 588 TT IRONS &#8211; 5-9IRONS PLUS 52, 56 &amp; 60 CLEVELAND 588 RTX WEDGES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":872,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"product_cat":[20],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/870"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=870"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=870"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
