Cleveland introduces wedge fitting system/app

Published

on

Cleveland Golf is making the search for the right set of wedges easier with the introduction of two new tools.

The first is the Cleveland Golf Fitting System, which features interchangeable wedge heads comes in a variety of different lofts, bounces, lie angles and models that can be placed into an array of wedge shafts.

Buying a new set of Cleveland wedges online is now easier as well, thanks to Cleveland’s Wedge Fitting Application. As part of its redesigned site, Cleveland has created a system that walks a golfer through the steps to buy a new custom-fitted wedge.

The application begins by asking a golfer for the make of his or her current pitching wedge. The app calculates its loft and then recommends what loft of wedges might work best for them. From there, golfers choose their desired model, loft, bounces, lie angle, shaft and grip, with numerous upgrades available for an added charge. Once that process is completed, golfers can purchase the wedges directly from the application.

“It’s no secret that a player’s wedge game is critical to scoring and performance,” said Todd Harman, president of Cleveland Golf/Srixon – U.S.A. “We’ve raised the bar with wedge innovations over the years such as multiple bounce options, Zip Grooves, cool finishes and now Rotex technology. With the introduction of our new Fitting System and Fitting Application, we’ve made it easier than ever for any player to use the right set of wedges and get the correct loft gapping throughout their entire set. This is a game-changer for us and the equipment industry. The way that golf professionals and retailers are now able to comprehensively fit a golfer for a wedge set is truly a breakthrough.”

    I tried it too and was not impressed. It does very little fitting and a lot of selling. Also, if you order more than one wedge there is n option to adjust the loft on just one wedge, you have to do the same for all wedges ordered. Stupid. Never shows the price until you fill in all the order info. The site is junk.

    I tried score a few years ago and thought the gap wedge was ok but the 56 and 60 were not good performers. The grips were cheap and not installed correctly either. They are now in my basement!

    Wow that’s about as pathetic fitting system as I’ve ever seen. My PW was 47 deg so it recommends gapping of 5/4/4 with a bog standard 52,62 and 60, that’s not even worth space on this page!

    First, it took a few times to get the site to load, once I was able to actually find it. Second, why do I have to the option to change my lofts, stronger or weaker, when the purpose of the “fitting” is to properly fit my gaps. That just doesn’t make sense. I don’t get it. Why take a fitting and then have me tell them what I want. The whole reason I took the fitting was to find out what I need.

    I did a fitting online from a new company, SCOR Golf. They were on The Hotlist last year and this year, too. They actually tell you what you need.

    I haven’t tried them yet, but I’m thinking the Scor wedge fitting is better and will probably go that direction.

    Has anyone else tried Scors or their fitting online? Thoughts?

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Published

on

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)

MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype

MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.

Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype

We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.

Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS

Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.

Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2

This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.

Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype

This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Published

on

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!
