Some people can absolutely smoke a 3-wood, so we are in no way saying no one should be using them. But if you fall into that camp, you are a statistical anomaly.
Like several other manufacturers, Cleveland Golf provides some useful guidance via its wedge selector tool, which has received some meaningful updates.
What makes today’s game-improvement wedges different is that we’re no longer talking about a one-trick pony club used primarily to escape the sand, but rather wedges that have a lot of the same grooves and soles as some of the tour-like wedges, but with a bit more forgiveness.
