    Any one used both? What do you think of the stopping power of the ATVs especially with 7yard type downhill chips, pitch shots and flops........

    I think the clevelands are great at stopping if a bit "flighty", but with teh slight downside of a faster meter than the ATVs..........

    Views / comments very much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I would say that the Clevelands are the better clubs overall. You get much more stopping power with punch shots downwind and out of the sand. They are also more accurate around the green. The good things about the ATVs are the slower meter, slightly more forgiveness, and the broader ydg range.

    overall, clevelands are much more powerful but much harder to use/have more penalty for a bad shot.

    I love my cleveland 100 wedge, the 80 is very good but it can get away from me:)

    ....and if you put full spin on them they will land and just rip back off the green too.

    They have more spin than you will ever need.

    Played with no spin or a slight amount of top spin and the Cleveland wedges can not be touched. And around the green they are much more consistent than the ATV's. When chipping and pitching with the 64 degree Cleveland it is so consistent that I expect to hole it out and do many many times. By using punch and flop you can cover a wide range of yardages. Actually I found the ATV's not to even be as good as the Z-Satins that they replaced. 

    To tell you just how well the Cleveland 64 degree works around the greens. A few weeks ago I played in a CC tourney and was way off on my approaches that night and missed 8 out of 18 greens and my putting was off as well. But I holed out 4 chips and pitches for birdies and 1 flop for a par. Even though I played very poorly tee to green that night I still shot a -4 66. I don't think I could have done that with the AVT's as they just aren't as consistent.

    That being said, I never liked the 56 degree Cleveland and use either the 54 degree 105 yard Ping W or the 54 degree 110 yard Z-Satin as my 3rd wedge. This is a bit strange as my favorite wedge in my real bag is an old Cleveland 56 degree.

    Thanks again guys............Apart from the faster meter the Clevelands I think have it.  I did try one of the ATVs out, but found it lacking in all departments except plain old vanilla approaches where it was as good as the Clevelands I thought.  

     

    Cheers all........

    I personally like the ATV's better. Much more controlled spin.
