Description
CG10's lower density metal provides approximately 50% more muscle mass that positions the center of gravity deeper and gives it a more solid feel at impact compared to traditional wedges.
Technology
CG10TM WEDGES >> THE METAL:
Our goal was to find or create a material that would damp vibration in an unprecedented fashion and could be readily manipulated and engineered for performance. In fall of 2003 we created the first wedges made from light density steel. Since then we have added Black Pearl? wedges as well as the CG1's, CG2's and the new CG4's to Cleveland Golf's line of CMM brand clubs.
This new metal, while not a composite, is infused with 17 times more carbon than traditional 8620 and 1020 steels. Using a process unique to the CMM material, microscopic carbon spheres are infused within the molecular structure of the metal. This creates a matrix that is 10% less dense than ordinary steel yet it maintains the hardness and manipulation properties of cast or forged carbon steel. These density relieving spheres within the CMM metal also dramatically damp vibration offering a pure, soft feel never before achieved in any golf club. Needless to say, Cleveland Golf has a patent pending for golf clubs made of this breakthrough material.
CG10TM WEDGES >> THE PERFORMANCE:
The CG10 wedge has been widely hailed as the best feeling wedge Cleveland Golf has ever built. And that's saying something. The feel is unmistakable. In blind tests on tours worldwide, the CG10 wedge was overwhelmingly preferred for its soft, pure feel and was easily distinguished from other wedges. Even the sound at impact is sufficiently different from other wedges, adding to the distinct feel of the CMM metal. Extensive player and robot testing has shown that, while the CG10 wedge produced similar spin to other Cleveland wedges with soft cover tour balls, it dramatically increased spin on hard cover distance balls. This translates into consistency for the low-handicapped player, and added performance for those seeking spin from a distance ball.
CG10TM WEDGES >> THE DESIGN:
With its light density properties, CMM metal affords Cleveland Golf club designers an unprecedented degree of design freedom. This freedom enabled the Cleveland design team to create a wedge that, while classic in appearance, has subtle design refinements that add to the unprecedented performance of the CG10 wedge. Although overall head weights are comparable to past Cleveland wedge series, the CG10 wedge features more weight positioned within critical areas to improve feel and performance without sacrificing traditional shape. Weight has also been moved to high stress areas, further improving feel, even on miss-hits.
