    Why We Like It

    • Cleveland uses a proprietary steel alloy that features a tighter grain structure for a softer feel. It also saves six grams.
    • In its raw state, the alloy has the benefit of not rusting over time as other steel alloys tend to do, preserving the look and performance of the grooves.
    • The ZipCore material in the hosel saves weight, some of which is moved low and toward the toe where golfers tend to it hit. The rest of the saved weight is used to make the hosel longer and wider to increase forgiveness.
    • A refined face-milling process for the lower lofts enhances carry-distance consistency.
    • The leading edge on lower-bounce models is sharper and more rounded on higher-bounce options. This improves turf interaction based on the type of shots and the attack angles typically played with those bounces.
    • Its three finishes include Tour Satin, Black Satin and a raw "Tour Rack" option ($190, shown)
    • A new groove design features sharper, tighter-spaced grooves to maximize contact and channel debris for more spin, particularly on shots hit from the rough.
    • Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps.
    • 20 options (46-64 degrees), 4 sole grinds, 3 finishes
