  I'd have to agree. The Burners have better spin, more distance on the long irons and seem to cut the rough better than the G20's. The only downside is the faster meter, so if you can deal with that, then yes, they are better.

  If you like the added forgiveness and a slower meter over the superior performance the CG's offer, then, yes, get them. They are still better than the satins and the pings. If you want the BEST wedges in this game, though, the Clevelands are still the best.

  The Clevelands are "better" if they fit your distance gaps that you want and don't over-spin you to death (ie - hit near the hole and spin back 4-5 yards).  If you are using the B-XD balls then the spin probably isn't an issue and I would tell you to keep the Clevelands.

  Thrown my new wedges in the bin, WGT's best wedges. NOT, clevelands are the better wedge and cheaper too, what a gimmick.  Clevealnd are btter for pitching.and more accurate the only thing atv's got going is a slower meter, but that 2 can throw you off as its too slow!  The atv seem to come up way short on some hole too and i seem to always land in between yardages, clevalnds pee on these wedges to be honest, Another $30 in the pan.

  minor issue wgt needs more flight and also has a small problem with cross winds it stays dead straight most times and dont move with the wind specially with 15 down cross winds to 10 cross winds just suss it out its very minor its not like any other wedge does it wondering why.DODODODODODODODO

  I have also noticed that cross winds don't seem to affect the new TM wedges - at least nothing like it affects the Clevelands.

  I agree. I rented the 60 and 64 degree atv wedges. Less precision and spin than the cleavs for 1195 really wgt? So what they have a slower meter, its not like you cant hit the cleavs especially if you are playing a decent feel ball. The spin I didnt miss much on full shots but I sure did around the greens especially on pitch shots. I generally like the new toys they come out with but they have missed the mark with these imho.
