It’s a hard truth many golfers don’t like to admit: You hit about four greens a round. Tops. On the other 14 holes you’re missing greens right, left, long and short. That’s a bunch of short-game shots. However, it’s also 14 more opportunities to get up and down to save par.
In order to hit those nifty short-game shots, you need the proper tools. Whether your preference is to get properly fit into a model with north of 20 loft/bounce options or your pick is more of a point-and-pitch model, there are options galore at your disposal. But how to decide?
Like several other manufacturers, Cleveland Golf provides some useful guidance via its wedge selector tool, which has received some meaningful updates. Sitting at the top of the wedge section of the company’s website to underscore its importance, the tool helps consumers navigate the maze of wedges Cleveland has to offer.
While previous iterations of the web-based tool only provided guidance on which model fits best, the latest version provides users a much more specific recommendation that includes loft, bounce, and other factors tailored to exactly what they need, including their preferred finish option on the RTX model.
Consumers answer a series of questions that help narrow the choices down, including which of the four bounce options best suits their game. Groove style also is addressed as some golfers prefer conventional grooves while others might be drawn to wedges that have grooves stretched across the entire face.
For those fitting into the more-forgiving CBX models, questions regarding shaft preference, loft gapping and whether you’re seeking to add pitching wedge loft to the set help drive the decision.
Once finished, the selector automatically adds the wedges to your cart. After all, after taking the time to get the proper wedges, you don’t want to risk an erroneous keystroke mucking up the works.
