Lofts compared
- CG4
- CG7 Tour
What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the CG4 is 33.5° and the CG7 Tour is 34°, a 0.5° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the CG4 should carry about 2 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the CG7 Tour. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the CG7 Tour averages 0.5° weaker, with the largest gap at the 8-iron (37° vs 38°). The pitching wedges are 45° and 46°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the CG4 7-iron sits 0.2° flatter (62.25° vs 62.5°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.
The sets are built differently: the CG4 runs 3-iron to SW (10 clubs), the CG7 Tour 2-iron to PW (9 clubs).
Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The CG7 Tour came out 2 years after the CG4, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The CG7 Tour is the weaker-lofted set — up to 1° weaker than the CG4. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
