The TaylorMade Hi-Toe 4 wedge continues the company’s larger-faced, high centre-of-gravity design with the same original mission: pushing mass higher helps to produce a lower-flighted, higher-spinning design.
Like several other manufacturers, Cleveland Golf provides some useful guidance via its wedge selector tool, which has received some meaningful updates.
The A+ wedges utilise Vokey’s progressive centre of gravity where the CG is pushed up and forward of the face for a flatter trajectory and ease of squaring the face at impact.
Titleist’s wedge team, led by master craftsman Bob Vokey, believes there are three keys to great wedge play: shot versatility, distance and trajectory control, and maximum spin. All three have been addressed in Vokey’s latest creation, the SM10.
Not everyone wants to play a game-improvement wedge. In a nod to that reality, Cleveland’s latest version has all the help one could want but does so in a slightly more appealing package.
Cleveland’s follow up to its successful RTX ZipCore line features a larger ZipCore section (nearly twice the size) that allows weight to be removed and placed elsewhere to boost forgiveness, particularly in the high-low direction.
