Smart Sole Full-Face

It's super easy to get the ball out of bunkers with this club.Just square up like a regular iron shot and hit the sand a little before the ball to pop the ball out of the bunker. No need to open up the club face. As an additional bonus, you are less likely to chunk if you use this club for chipping. The wide sole helps it from digging into the ground.This club has basically replaced my 56 degree sand wedge and 60 degree lob wedge.Pros:-Easy to hit balls out of bunkers. No opening up club face.-Easier to use than sand wedge/60 degree wedge for chipping. Less likely to dig into the ground due to the wide sole. The 3 tiered sole seems to work well on variety of surfaces.-Graphite shaft takes the sting out on bad strikes. This is my first graphite wedge. I like it.Neutral:-Full face grooves. Not sure how helpful this is. If I hit the ball on the toe, who cares how much it spins if it flies like garbage.-Not sure how long HydraZip face treatment will last. I have played 5 rounds of golf with it. Couple of hits out of the bunker + some chipping. The face already looks a bit dinged up.Cons:-Difficult to open up the face for fancier shots like high angle lob shots. Also, it might be a little more difficult to get out of really deep pot bunkers. Luckily, there are no pot bunkers in my area. YMMV.Overall, this is an excellent club. If you struggle in the bunkers, it makes hitting out super simple. Easy chipping with the club is an added bonus.

This club is amazing. Really gives confidence in your approach when you do not stress too much the chipping. I tend to use it for around the fringe to 30-40 yards from green. The design is very nice, definitely better than some of the older chippers look.

It’s has improved my short game!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Previous experience as it is a fabulous sand wedge. Really easy to get out of the bunker.

Build quality is great and the club looks clean. Cleveland makes a great wedge and the Smart Sole is not short of the mark. The heavier sole moves through the rough with ease and if you hit behind the ball, it's going to slice through the turf with ease as well.My only nit with this wedge is that it is a heavy club. It's easy to hit the ball fat, especially when you're tired. Personally, I find a lighter wedge (Ping Glide) better suited for my swing but that's not to say the Smart Sole is a terrible club. I keep it in my bag for shorter, chip shots where I don't need a full swing. Gives me better control with the heavier wedge.It's worth considering and a good tool to keep in your bag.

Husband loved it

If you have problems chipping buy two of these. I got a 51 degree and a 59 degree and love them. Chipping has improved immensely.

I use this club when the PW is a little two much club or when the rough is too high for the PW. The weight is almost double of my senior flex, graphite PW. Solid club, high quality. I did replace the grips on all my clubs, including this one, with oversize grips.
