Why We Like It
Cleveland believes helping players achieve more distance, forgiveness and launch starts with the face, specifically making it lighter and more flexible to produce maximum yards. The face here underwent a proprietary face blast and laser-mill-line process to enhance surface roughness to optimize spin. The grooves that stretch all the way across the face are purposeful, too: They increase consistency and reduce the chance of flyers.

Reviews
The full face gives me confidence. The grooves cradle the ball and encourage center strikes. Despite the larger size, it feels compact and focused through impact. Produces a high-trajectory window.
Gary, 36, Handicap: 13Rounded, wide design. Makes a higher-pitched tink through impact. Easy to get shots up in the air. Great option for players who want to get some additional height.
Daniel, 32, Handicap: 12I like the clean, black top. Clubface feels slightly open at address, but it doesn’t affect your contact. Able to keep the ball on line, even on misses.
Sándor J., 35, Handicap: 9Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
