Will you be staying with those, or switching to the ATV to match meter speed?

Not I. unless they make them have the 60/80/100 yardages. I have left the cg's before to go to atv's but came back for the 17yd pitch with the cg spin. :)

I like the 20 yd gaps to fit in with the 120 yard PW. 60-80-100-120 fits perfectly and the CG 50 yard punch can be choked down to 20 yds with consistent results.

I'm trying the ATVs and liking it so far. I like the full/punch spreads 100-83-75-62-50-41 a little better than the Cleveland's 100-84-80-68-60-50. The real trade off though is matched meter speed and extra forgiveness with the ATV vs. a half dot better precision and spin for the Clevelands.

Both quite playable, with the new (or any other) irons.

i guess im the only player in this thread who has big time complaints about these new irons. To put it bluntly, i just threw 4,495 credits down the toilet purchasing these. According to the statistical information, they should be more forgiving and .1 more precise than the Nike V-Forged set, however i dont find this to be the case whatsoever. VEM has been much more pronounced on my shots insofar as i set up perfectly like i would for the V-Forged set, yet even if i ding it, the ball ends up 2-3 yds either left or right of my target unlike the V-forged irons. Perhaps its just me and others dont see this anomaly, but i can't continue shooting low scores with this set, as of this morning i sold them back and repurchased my old V-Forged. Its my stupidity for not trying them out first by renting, but i figured they would be an upgrade, boy was i wrong. As i said, it could just be me noticing this trend, but im glad i got my old set back.and can once again shoot low scores. I learned my lesson most definately, always rent first before purchasing. Hope they work out for all you guys and dont cause similar issues. Cheers mates.

Seeing the ATV's laid out like that reminds me of why I tried them when I did. But the spin of the pitch shot on the 64º wedge just didn't fit my short game. Other words, I just couldn't relearn with that pitch shot what I knew too well with the CG's 17yd pitch shot.

Sticking with the CG's for now, in hopes of some of the remaining "upcoming new clubs" might actually be new wedges.

Perhaps, Callaway wedges with ATV distances and CG spin?

*edit

Thinking the 100 yard ATV might be a good choice, don't need the extra spin on that one as much.

I also think some Callaway wedges with 60,80,100yd distances would be a great addition...

Posted this link in announcement and news section and it appears one of the WGT admins decided to delete it after it was posted...WTF WGT we have no free speech when it comes to looking at a possible competitor?.

As a matter of fact, that is correct. It's their forum and their rules and that's been beat to death before. Posting an active link directly to a competitor doesn't sit well with them.
