Finally Retired My Cleveland TA-3 Form Forged Irons

[Celebros]

I purchased them used in 2002 and they survived until today. Took me from the high school golf team down to a 1.9 handicap a few years back. Originally had 3-PW with 6.0 Rifle shafts, but added a matching 2I, GW, and SW over the years. Never found any irons over the years that were a marked improvement for me, but the grooves were starting to get a bit sketchy and getting the set redone wasn't going to be cost-effective.

 

Found a great deal on a mint set of Cobra KING Forged Tour irons that I couldn't pass up that sealed the old Cleveland's fate.

Anyone else still sporting TA-3's out there?

I had them for years, loved them, they are terific irons and have a bit of a cult following. I put them down though about 25 sets ago.

One of my favorite sets of all time.

I loved this set of irons. Like somebody else posted, this was many sets ago, but they were in my top 5.

Loved mine as well.

End of an era!! One of my favorite sets from the early 2002s. That and the MP33 and of course the 690MBs :smile:

Sold mine a few years back. Wish I didn’t though. Classic clubs.

I got my first set years ago, a great solid club with a simple design, sold them of course. I later got a set of TA2's which are the same club with a few slots on the top, 2 to PW, mint, sold them of course. A couple of years ago I found another set of TA2's, heads only and brand new. I shafted them played them for a while and sold them of course.

The thing is and as you say, I haven't ever really found anything which performs better. The Hogans are as good but 3 times the price. I need to find another set.
