The Cleveland CG12 scored highly in the spin stakes and certainly has the technology to back it up. The fancy new Zip grooves really do the business, giving a real showman’s spin-and-stop on shots. They’ve been made 25 per cent bigger than normal grooves, to help them channel more dirt and debris off the clubface and give more consistent distance control. The nice thing about the CG12 is that it has a lot of technology behind the design, but when you look down to address your ball has a traditional, classic shape and look that will appeal to many. The only thing that let it down in our test was the shiny chrome finish, which was distracting in bright sunlight. But with the option of a black pearl finish instead, we’re sure the CG12 will be a popular choice. Cleveland usually make great wedges. This is another to add to their hall of fame. Jon loved the clean look of the CG12 while Chris commented that the way it sat behind the ball really added confidence. That said, Dan was a little concerned by a lack of feel.
