Cleveland CG14 Wedge vs CG F1 Wedge

The wedge choices on the market today are enough to baffle even the most astute of short game wizards. Now, with new buzz words like "visco-elastic vibration-dampening material," Cleveland Golf has come out with the CG14, the latest in its venerable "CG" line of wedges.

Cleveland says the new Cleveland CG14 wedge offers a perfect balance of performance, versatility, and forgiveness, all with unprecedented feel. The CG14's new design takes advantage of Cleveland's most advanced manufacturing process and feel technology, combining it with a tour-scrutinized shape, sole, and offset. In other words, the head shape is very classic and should appeal to the wide range of golfers Cleveland is targeting.

The CG14 also features a slightly wider sole design to improve contact on full shots and to help prevent digging on the more refined finesse shots around the green. comes standard with a Traction Wedge Shaft, which was designed in collaboration with Cleveland's tour staff to enhance feel and improve impact consistency on wedge shots. Players will feel more head control on touch shots and a more consistent delivery at impact.

And Cleveland CG F1 Wedge has a straight leading edge and round head shape with a taller heel and straight neck. This versatile head is easy to play square or open. design integrates Cleveland Golf's most advanced manufacturing and feel technology with a tour scrutinized shape, sole and offset.

The CG-F1 Wedge features consistent milling of each groove to maximum conforming dimensions. The absolute integrity of these grooves is maintained by the application of a proprietary coating to each groove for protection during the face sandblasting process. The resulting ZIP Grooves are Cleveland's biggest and most precisely milled ever.

Should players really be mis-hitting wedges that badly that they need to dampen the vibrations? As a mid- to high-handicap golfer, I think my shortcomings around the green are probably more closely attributed to swing flaws, and possibly a lack of concentration, and not "unnecessary vibrations."
