Lofts compared
- TA2 Micro-Cavity
- CG2
What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 34° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show.
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 TA2 Micro-Cavity is listed as micro-cavity back with perimeter weighting and the CG2 as Carbon Metal Matrix (CMM) shallow cavity back. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The CG2 came out 2 years after the TA2 Micro-Cavity, 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 TA2 Micro-Cavity and CG2 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.
