But i cant handle them and go back to the smaler edition i had before. I dont know i the diference with this clubs to the other Clevelands. Please write me some meenings down here. 

  Many Thanks

  I love the ATV's they're mush easier to control than the Clevelands and you soon get used to the smaller amount of spin.

  I personally find the ATV wedges a whole lot better ..... spin just seems truer and accuracy around the greens is second to none after also trying the Clevelands ... but stress this is of course my opinion, others will obviously come and vouch for the Clevelands.

  ATV wedges are sweeter than peaches ( en regalia).

  Have both. If I play a CTTH I much prefer the ATVs when i can use them. Vanilla approach they are accurate and will stop as much as you need. They will not punch, chip, flop or take two third full spin shots as well.............If you already have the cleve's perhaps 56/60 ATV and keep the 64 CL for around the green to start with at least.....Not saying it's a great idea but something I toy with now and then, and to save money to start with..............................All in all I would say the HL ATVs are excellent club's but not as powerful as the cleves, BUT a slower meter.  I would say rent them though and try out every shot around the green you usually use them for.........................My opinion 

  EDIT

  Checked your bag: You are playing with two wedges.  Suggest even at TP level you consider getting used to three wedges and dropping the hybrid. Above based on 3 wedges obviously.  Sadly just missed a free rental weekend, but as you progress 3 wedges get more and more useful................

  Can you define what you mean by powerful?

  Only as far as I already described Courtney................

  A pro golfer once said to me..........

  "You can't describe feel, you have to experience it.  Feel can only be gained by doing it"

  In the end any descriptor's can only be a guide. The OP will try them and decide!

  After getting used to the Clevelands and trying ATVs just for fun during the free rental weekend I can say they are much worse. Poor accuracy, too little spin, thus less flexibility in controlling them. Clevelands are the best just one needs to practice to get used to them. And almost never (except sand & medium-deep rough) use full backspin with full swing 60 and 64.

  ATV's ..Too little spin ? .... so therefore buy Clevelands, BUT don't use full backspin hmmmmm.

  The 50 yarder is good but still think the old Satin was better in many aspects. From any lie they work well, but the spin fom 15% sand sucks... I remember the Satin would land and roll one or two yards but this mf rolls over 10 yards with full bs.
