One question, are Cleveland CG14s workable?

Can you hit them low on demand???

Can you draw a shot into a back left pin?

I wont ask about a fade, I can't hit them anyway. I just want to know if they are a one tricky poney (I'm thinking high and straight with that slight cavity back). Yes I'm playing Vokeys now, and no I don't have anything against them. But I think it's time for a change.

One question, are Cleveland CG14s workable?

Stacey I would say they are only ever so slightly forgiving than their cousins the CG12. You play the CG2 irons and my CG2 PW's sole is the same width as my CG14 GW, if not a little wider. I feel it's a natural progression going from the CG2 irons into the CG14 wedges. The only reason I did not play the CG14 in my SW and LW is that I wanted the DSG with certain bounce options for playing out of greenside bunkers and tight lies in the 60* and the 54*....well I could have gone either way with that one to be honest but I bought it before the CG14 came out. I can't comment on how they would play in higher lofts as I only really use my 50* for full shots in between the PW and 54*, I can draw it but I'm like you with fades, they don't come on command as much as I would like.

If you can hit a significant draw with any short iron, you are good...

Otherwise, the CG14 are very workable, can hit them high or low, feel soft, great turf interaction (for me).

They are pretty nice clubs. I have never had any problems moving the ball around with mine. I dont play the pitching wedge, and my usage is such that I am presented with many more shots with the 60 than the 56, but the lob wedge is game for anything you throw at it. I do keep tem down on occassion, but I've got such a good feel for mine going that I can work them up into the wind with the right amount of draw or fade. Good feel and I agree that they are very soft, the polymer insert was an odd idea, but is well executed and doesn't have any negative impacts I have seen.

I hit my friends a while back and personally hated them compared to my vokeys. But if you like them go for it, just not for me. Maybe go try some different wedges if you can.

Do you ever make a comment with reason or is all just a Titleist commercial?

You MUST switch to CG14. I bought these a couple weeks ago and scored a birdie from 110 yrds with my 52. These are amazing from the sand. Will get it out of the bunker for sure. Amazing clubs.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
