I'd say the key thing to using the Cleveland wedges is knowing when to use BS and how much. With Callaway (z)s, the only time I ever use BS with my 56 and 60 degree Clevelands is out of sand, unless I'm landing on a wicked down-sloping green. I don't use BS with my 64 degree outside 35y, again unless hitting out of sand or landing on a wicked downslope green. Inside 35y, I almost always use full BS. That seems to be the distance cutoff between no or almost no backup and yanking the ball backwards 5-30y. I don't try to backup wedges, I try to stop them cold and aim right at pins. You also have to realize that when choking down on the wedges, there is a point where the club will become weaker. In other words, if you hit the 60 degree wedge (80y listed) on a 60y shot, and hit it 75%, it will only go 54-58y. However, if you hit a 72y shot at 90%, you'll get 74-75. The more you choke down, the higher relative % of the bar you'll need. They also cut through wind a lot, so if you have 10 MPH in your face, and you hit that 60y shot 70y with a 60 degree wedge, you'll fly the hole by 6y. They also get out of rough better than most clubs. At 60y in 40/50, I can hit 72 with the 60 degree and get to the hole.
And just so you know, if you hit full backspin and are using more than 70% of the meter, you can back the ball up with any of these clubs out of pretty much any lie except sand.
