Cleveland golf smart sole 3 wedges
Champions of the short game
i
f the short game is your bugaboo, the Cleveland Golf Smart Sole 3 wedges may be
just the antidote you're looking for. Like the previous version, Cleveland offers a
sand wedge and chipping wedge in the third iteration of the Smart Sole line, but the
latest models feature a new, three-tiered sole design that's optimized for smooth turf
interaction. The soles are designed for maximum forgiveness around the greens, espe-
cially for players with inconsistent swings. Cleveland's Feel Balancing Technology
moves the center of gravity closer to the center of the club face, resulting in better
feel, more consistent performance and tighter shot dispersion.
"The wider sole is good for people who struggle to hit a pitch or chip shot solidly,"
said John Huerta, manager of The Golf Mart in Albuquerque. "It gives them more mar-
gin for error, so they can mis-hit it and still get the ball up in the air and close to where
they're trying to hit it. They're easy to hit out of the rough, and the sand wedge is
amazing for players who have a hard time getting out of bunkers." shop here.
A CLEVER IDEA
lamkin flat Cat grips
sweeten your putting stroke
w
hen it comes to putting, there are countless theories on the best way to get
the ball in the hole. But most golf professionals will tell you if you're not
square to the target, nothing else matters. That's where Lamkin's Flat Cat grips can
make such a huge difference. The putter grip of choice for PGA Tour
star Justin Rose, Flat Cat offers five different sizes suited to any size
hands and feel preference. The new Flat Cat Solution adds a
stainless steel-weighted cone below the hands, helping
smooth the stroke for players prone to the yips.
"We sell a lot of Flat Cat grips," said Brent Wootton, a PGA
professional and salesperson at Uinta Golf of Sandy, Utah.
"They definitely stabilize your wrists so they're not so 'flippy.'
A lot of people seem to like the smaller ones, because they
provide that same stability in the putting stroke but offer a little
more feel. It's probably one of our top-selling putter grips."
