Cleveland Golf has recently unveiled an innovative short game system, potentially offering solutions to some of the most prevalent errors golfers face.
During the recent PGA Show in Orlando, I spoke with one of Cleveland's equipment experts about the new Smart Sole Full Face wedges. This conversation revealed how Cleveland Golf addressed common short game mistakes by engineering specific features into their wedges.
To combat the feared chunk shot, they developed an ultra-wide sole equipped with a three-tiered bounce design, ensuring optimal turf interaction. For those struggling with blading shots across the green, adjustments to the leading edge were made to facilitate easier lifting of the ball into the air.
Additionally, for golfers aiming to enhance spin, the wedges feature deeper, sharper grooves across the entire face, complemented by a textured surface to improve ball grip from any lie.
A significant aspect of their design philosophy focused on simplifying club selection. The system consists of a four-club lineup designed to cover every conceivable short game shot, including a chipper, sand wedge, gap wedge, and lob wedge, thereby eliminating the guesswork often associated with grind selection.
Cleveland Golf's holistic approach aims to streamline equipment choices and improve short game performance across the board.
