Re: Level 7-8 Cleveland wedges?

  Why are these preferable, specifically?

  High loft=soft landing. The G10s were the clubs that a huge number of TLs made Legend with back when. These are the modern version and a solid club that will do you well for a long time. :-)

  Ah, yes, I've been reading that high loft is better.  True for all clubs (Drivers, wedges)?  

  I see this set has more precision but less forgiveness than the other two I mention (and a medium 4.0 meter speed).  Does this mean precision is more important than forgiveness?  

  I appreciate everyone helping me learn what I need to know to make good upgrade decisions.

  I also see that this set ranges from 115-210, so a lot of distance.  That means that I'd better rethink my wedge choices, right?  Is 20 yards a good gap?  If I have 60, 80, 100 wedges, will that work well with this set?

  Yes this set will last till legend easy i had the g20's (which is the same clubs ) as legend till i got the 79 bladez  and the wedges are a good spacing also use the punch shots they work well too

  60 - 80 - 100 is preferred by many (see the top Clevelands), another spacing being 50 - 75/77 - 100 (ATV).

  As he said, include the punch into your thoughts. A punch from that 115 yds PW might reduce the gap.

  Concerning precision and forgiveness, both have their standing.

  Forgiveness is important for players who rarely hit the ding line, and precision is good in any situation.

  I want to support one short remark on balls. If you want to spend some credits, change to custom balls. Even the cheapest will improve your game, but it will let your purse bleed since they wear and get lost, thus have to be replaced on a regular basis.

  I'd encourage you to try a few types from the cheapest up. B-ES will wake your desire, Tour-SD are a budget gem, Srixons and lvl33 Callies are visible improvements. Becoming a top player, you may eventually need the top balls for top ratings in spin and distance.
