Hey guys, I was just looking at pics of the new cleveland clubs and was wondering what you all thought about the "mini-grooves" that are laser etched in the face, instead of the spin-milled faces of the vokeys and others. they look like they will provide superior spin and If any of you have hit them already, what do you think about them?

In my TMX stand bag:

R580XD 10.5* Stiff
'07 Burner 5 Wood 18*
'09 Burner Rescue Hybrid #3 19* Stiff 3dx Ironwood #4 Stiff Idea Tech OS 5-PW Vokey SM 52*-08 CG11 SM 58*-08 White Hot XG #2 33.5"

it will be pretty annoying to see the text on the sides of the grooves. I wouldn't concentrate on the ball but on the text. i don't expect the wedges to give more spin than the 2009 vokeys

I doubt they'd give more spin than a vokey.

Even if they did it'd be minuscule

I agree that it is ugly.

I'm not sure what you mean by that question..... but I am considering these wedges because of the nice, big channels and new lines etched into the face of the wedges.... i'm not sure if you're implying that these are the new "tour conforming grooves" or not, but they're not.

I dont see the text bothering me, wouldnt take long to get over if the club works like it should, its just a little text...

I have both the SM titleist and the mack daddy Callaway.

In my option the MD grooves spin much more than the titleist. I have a normal vokey and really see very little difference.

I think theylook great, and with what I've heard about Cleveland Golf, they may one day push Taylormade out of the bag. Maybe not this year, but mynext set after this. The wedges are awesome looking. I bought some Nickent Arc wedges just recently but got them cheap so I wouldn't have any hesitation in replacing them.

They look nice, you will be shredding and murdering a lot of balls though.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
