Cleveland Smart Sole 4 Wedges Review (CHIPPER, Sand Wedge & Gap Wedge)

Cleveland Smart Sole 4 Wedges

The Cleveland Smart Sole 4 wedges range features three new clubs designed get the most out of your short game – a Chipper, a Sand Wedge and a Gap Wedge.

All three clubs in the new forgiving short game options feature a sole designed to be the perfect solution for each option with the need to open the face or manipulate the loft and lie.

With varying amounts of bounce, the wide soles of the Chipper, Sand Wedge and Gap Wedge help generate spin and control wherever you decide to hit them from.

What Cleveland says about the Smart Sole 4 Chipper, Sand Wedge & Gap Wedge:

“Smart Sole 4 is a straightforward short game system for the everyday player. There’s no tricky swing changes or open faces. Just grab your wedge, square up to the ball, and take a swing. Embrace easy: it’s a short game enjoyed.

“If you struggle with the short game, Smart Sole 4 provides the tools you need to score your best.
