gocchin Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Cleveland has introduced two new forged in Japan wedges. The teardrop shaped 588TA Forged and the rounder CG-F1 Forged. Being forged in Japan and part of Sri Sports, my guess is these are done at the Srixon plants. Cleveland Golf Japan introduces their new 588 Tour Action wedge. Forged in Japan from soft carbon steel and featuring Cleveland Golf's patented Zip Grooves, the 588TA has a a slightly rounded leading edge and teardrop head shape with a straight neck. This versatile head is easy to play square or open. 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. The 588TA Forged Forged is available with either S200 or NS Pro 950GH Stiff in 3 different lofts (56 and 58 are available with standard or low bounce) Cleveland Golf Japan introduces their new CG-F1 wedge. Forged in Japan from soft carbon steel and featuring Cleveland Golf's patented Zip Grooves, the CG-F1 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. 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.

xchangmanx Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hey T, Do these wedges conform to the new groove rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I would have to assume that they do since they use Cleveland's Zip Grooves. According to Cleveland they are right at the max conforming grooves allowed. (Also I doubt they would released a brand new wedge to be non conforming especially for a major wedge brand like Cleveland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also I doubt they would released a brand new wedge to be non conforming especially for a major wedge brand like Cleveland) Thanks T- I'm still kinda confused about this new rule... (not that it matters much on my scores) Are manufactures making the 09 wedges grooves conforming to the 2010 groove rule? I know nike's new vr wedge already uses grooves that conform to 2010 rule. Another question basically the same one but it just helps me understand the business better... When did such name brand manufacs. stop making the "old grooves?" ie. nike's grooves on the 08 and 07 wedges were sharper and deeper than the 09s. Apparently the 08 wedges will be non-conforming but I don't know when 2010, 11? So I assume these beauties are conformin to the new groove rule? that would make them spin less than the 07 and 08 cgs being the old cleveland wedges will be nonconforming 2010...?
