Cleveland CG15 Wedge

maverick_21

Anyone have any experience with these wedges? Would you recommend them? I'm buying a new 60 degree and can buy this or the MD Drew Norman for around the same price! What are peoples opinions?

Don't want to seem rude but seriously you're the person who will be hitting the club,which one looks best to you at address??
I have used both,defo bit more grip off the Cleveland,however It's a bit head heavy imo and in wet can be a bit chunky,my choice would be the MD as I think It's a nicely balanced club.

I'm buying online so can't check them out unfortunately. The MD has gotten good reviews and so has the Cleveland. I think the cleveland got a gold medal on Golf Digest hot list 2010.

I have used both and I would concur with heavyballs, cleavland is a little bit more forgiving in a way but the MD's are far more precise with better feel.

I would reckon it depends on what type wedge game you need to play, if your like me and miss the green a lot, well my home course throws an awful lot of different shots at me. Tight lies, rough, pop shots, flop shots, knock downs and I feel a lot more comfortable attempting the shots with the MD's.

If your home course just give you regular pitch,chip and sand shots then the CG15 might work well with there forgiveness.

The two courses i mainly play are pretty forgiving but that doesnt mean i hit the greeen a lot either:)

What bounce would you recommend?I was looking at the standard bounce on the MD. 12 degree i think.

i've the cg15 56 and 60,

love them, love the feel and shape of the clubhead.

If i was gonna chose between them and another club though it would need to be the titleist vokey.

IMO probably the two best wedges going.

Ill have to replace mine this year due to the grooves going blunt and will choose between the vokey sm4s and cleveland 588 /cg15s again

Have you has the wedges for long if you are replacing them?

2 years I think, but I'm playin a lot and the sand up in ours is very abrasive

maverick_21

Just checked there and the MD has 8 degree bounce.Not sure if this would be suitable for me? Is it better to stay with a bounce around 12 degree's?

matt-dublin

It depends on your swing mate, if you take a deeper divot then more bounce is for you, if you just nip it off the turn then you need less bounce.

It also depends on if you play parkland vs links, links might require less bounce for the tight lies whereas parklands with hairy fairways might be more beneficial with more bounce.

maverick_21

Ya i read that alright.To be honest it depends on the shot whether i take a big or small divot;) Consistency is something i'm trying to work on!! I see the standard bounce is 12 on the CG15 but 8 on the MD....Very confusing

Why don't you go to mcguirks and has ten tape up a few and hit them, see which feel you prefer.

IMO its down to feel with these clubs, you should be accurate with them either which way it's more about which you feel more comfortable standing over and hitting
