Cleveland Golf introduces the Smart Sole Full-Face Wedges, a pinnacle of our wedge craftsmanship, embodying the utmost in forgiveness. Featuring expansive faces enriched with UltiZip grooves and HydraZip technology, coupled with an inventive Three-Tiered Sole design that is wider than ever, this complete four-club short-game system ensures substantial MOI. The thoughtfully designed wedge simplifies landing on the green with a single swing, contributing to a more pars on your scorecard.
It's clear-cut. Cleveland's most recent larger faces, paired with the new all-over grooves, offer a notably enlarged striking area. This isn't just a minor enhancement – you experience a remarkable up to 46% increase in the striking area compared to the corresponding Smart Sole 4 models. And no, there's no mistake in the number – we indeed mean 46%.
Furthermore, this substantial expansion of the striking area significantly elevates the MOI, leading to enhanced forgiveness. This proves especially advantageous on shots off the toe, minimising the occurrence of miss-hits.
Cleveland's proprietary HydraZip face technology integrates a dynamic blast and precision laser-milled line system, enhancing surface friction to optimize spin consistency in various conditions—whether wet or dry—and from any position around the green.
When designing the Smart Sole Full-Face, we employ three unique blast media and laser-milled line patterns. The Chipper, with its low loft, requires a more restrained rough face blast and fewer lines to optimise spin performance. The Gap Wedge, featuring a slightly higher loft, undergoes a slightly rougher blast with additional lines. Lastly, the Sand and Lob Wedges, boasting the highest lofts, undergo the most robust blast and receive the most lines to enhance friction and ensure improved consistency.
UltiZip face technology intricately designs an exclusive sequence of sharper, deeper, and tighter grooves, providing unmatched spin, control, consistency, and bite in the short game.
The heightened sharpness of the grooves enables precise navigation through grass and debris. Deeper grooves strategically carve out space for the efficient removal of grass, sand, dirt, or water from the impact zone. Simultaneously, the tighter grooves offer a more aggressive bite and improved edge contact. Additionally, due to their tighter configuration, Cleveland has incorporated even more heel-to-toe grooves than the standard, further amplifying the effectiveness of the technology.
Encountering a chunked wedge shot in a scoring position can be disheartening. Cleveland has taken meticulous care in designing these soles to improve turf interaction across various conditions, encompassing first and second cuts, rough, sand, and even hardpan.
Every wedge is furnished with added bounce at its leading edge, mitigating the risk of excessive digging. Furthermore, Cleveland's innovative new Extra Wide Three-Tiered Soles enhance stability, fostering cleaner, crisper contact and delivering maximum forgiveness in your shots.
