Cleveland introduces wedge fitting system/app
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.”

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.

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?
