Highlighted cells differ between the two sets. Lofts and lies are factory standard.
Lofts compared
- TA7
- CG4
What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 33.5° 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.
The sets are built differently: the TA7 runs 1-iron to LW (13 clubs), the CG4 3-iron to SW (10 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.
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.
There are 5 years between these sets (2002 and 2007), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently.
Which should you choose?
The TA7 and CG4 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cleveland TA7 stronger lofted than the CG4?
No. Both have a 33.5° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.
What is the loft difference between the Cleveland TA7 and CG4?
There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 33.5° 7-iron.
Are the Cleveland TA7 and CG4 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the Cleveland TA7 and CG4 have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Cleveland TA7 is 62.5° lie and 36.75 inches, the CG4 62.25° and 36.75 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
