    I was curious what the actual differences are that people have noticed between the Cleveland and Satin wedges and if it is worth the extra credits. When comparing them on paper the only difference between the two is the trajectory. The Satin's have a med/high trajectory while the Cleveland's have a high one. Now I know having the highest trajectory possible when hitting any club is the desired outcome, but I can stop the Satin's on a dime with a decent ball and backspin already, so what is different about the Cleveland's that warrant an extra 295 credits per club?

    The higher level clevelands offer more spin and precision over the satins,    I have and love the clevelands.......watch out though, the spin can ruin a great shot but fun to see the ball zip back ......sometimes off the green too lol

     

    The extra spin really helps around the green,   with the right ball they check up very nicely

    If you're good with the satins then save your money.

    Yeah.....when it comes to this game I pretty  much live by this rule. 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I'm sure  the Clevland wedges are great. I have quite a few friends that swear by them. But I'm so attached to my wedges that I really don't foresee me purchasing new wedges. So if your comfortable with your wedge set-up then it's my opinion to don't bother with them. Stick with the Z-Satin wedges. They are excellent wedges. Just my opinion.

    I own the clevelands 80 and 100 yards wedges and I have an issue with the distance of the 100 yard one. Even with wind against and full BS the balls actually travels (hits the green) 3 to 5 yards over the 100 yards.  I have been around a while so I do understand lies and winds etc., so the problem exists with me and this club.

    I just wonder if anyone else has encountered this type of behaviour with the clevelands or is just an isolated case.

    In essence this issue makes such a good club almost unattractive and  I often find myself wondering whether I have made the right purchase or should revert to z-satins.

    Of course had I bought this club at a shop and found it was bent, or something, I could have brought it back for an exchange, here I have to swallow the medicine and get on with it.

    I have noticed this also and it seems what ball you are using does not make a difference.

    I have to agree, I have owned both and prefer the Satins. The BS on the cleveland caused more problems than it was was worth.

    I happen to disagree. I played the Satin 50, 77, 90 and 110 wedges for almost 2 years until I made Legend. Impeccable wedges that forgive and allow for very good control on the greens. I used all 5 shots with them and had 20 different yardages covered in all types of rough. Great clubs.

    The CGs trump them. These are the first clubs that I have seen at WGT that are truly linear. By this I mean the moves in the swing translate to exact numbers. This means your yardage is predictable every swing. The forgiveness is exactly the same as the Satins but the accuracy and spin are much better. These wedges are game changers.

    Now before you point out that I have the higher level ones, the lower level ones are going to be different too, even though those dots are the same. I point out the Satin 90 and 110 as examples. These are the oil can finish ones and they perform much differently than all the rest with the same dots. The only way you would know this is by playing them because they do have the same specs as the others. Don't believe it-they're better in the same, subtle way the CGs are. 

    There's a reason the CGs are  more expensive but you need to learn them before you can appreciate why. They're worth it. Then again, you can never go wrong with the Satins either.  GL

    I agree with Yankee 100 % ! Those clevelands are the real deal ONCE you know how to use them......the trick to them on the back spin is to use just the right amount of back spin for the shot your trying to make.

    You might only have to move the dot a quarter way down the ball to get a 3 to 4 yard backspin.....but on full backspin that ball is going 10 yards back depending on the slant of the green. It's just something you need to learn yourself.
