CLEVELAND GOLF INTRODUCES NEW STICKS FOR ‘06
February 08, 2006

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA... Cleveland Golf is proud to introduce its latest offering of clubs due for release in spring of 2006.

CG4™ Tour Irons:
Made from CMM™ metal, these new CG4 Tour irons combine the benefits of CG2 and CG4 irons to create one of the most versatile sets in golf. These irons have a shorter blade length than the original CG4 irons, creating a more compact head for increased workability. Progressive offset throughout the set promotes easy-to-hit long irons and short irons that allow for more workability and greater trajectory control. The CG4 Tour iron's thin topline appeals to the better player's eye. MSRP for the CG4 Tour irons is $864 for steel shafted models and $1129 in graphite. CG4 Tour irons will begin shipping February 15, 2006.

Launcher® LP Irons:
These new irons are similar to the original Launcher irons in that they are made from 17-4 stainless steel and sport an extremely high MOI, which minimizes the loss of distance on shots that are struck off-center. The Launcher LP irons feature a low and deep center of gravity to help players, who struggle with their long irons, get the ball up in the air with less effort. These new irons also feature additional offset to promote a square clubface at impact. Offered as a seven-piece set, Launcher LP irons feature a lower profile for those golfers who desire more control in their game. Available only with steel shafts, MSRP for the Launcher LP irons is $504. They will begin shipping February 15, 2006.

CG1™ Black Pearl Irons:
Inspired by the PGA TOUR, the new CG1 Black Pearl irons are Cleveland Golf’s new flagship blades. Currently played by Vijay Singh, these irons feature new Micro-Mill technology. By applying CNC milling to both the face and grooves, Cleveland Golf has created an iron that is tuned for optimal trajectory and distance control for low handicap players. The CG1 Black Pearl irons also feature a multi-layer, micro-coating that drastically reduces glare, while allowing the club to maintain its soft feel. MSRP on the CG1 Black Pearl irons is $1155 for the steel shafted model and $1420 for graphite. They will begin shipping April 1, 2006.

588 DSG™ Wedge:
This latest addition to the Tour Action® 588 series of wedges brings state-of-the-art technology and versatility to the most popular wedge shape of all time. Though the original 588 wedge is considered the industry benchmark, the new 588 DSG has a unique Dynamic Sole Grind that allows the leading edge to remain closer to the ground when opening the clubface at address. This gives golfers more versatility to hit high and soft flop shots around the green. Made from 8620 soft carbon steel and featuring a milled face and grooves for maximum spin, MSRP on the 588 DSG is $133 for the steel shafted model and $157 for graphite. They will begin shipping March 1, 2006.

"Designed By" Putter Line:
Cleveland Golf's "Designed By" putters have always embraced the classic style and great head shapes from the past. These two new putters, a 1948 center-shafted true blade and a 1905 Calamity Jane replica, continue this tradition. Both putters feature CNC-milled faces and tungsten sole weighting and are made from CMM metal for exceptional feel. Along with this top-of-the-line technology, "Designed By" putters feature genuine leather grips for a feel of authenticity. MSRP on both "Designed By" putters is $165 and they will begin shipping March 1, 2006.

Cleveland Golf is also pleased to announce that it has expanded the available loft options on the Launcher Ti460 driver to include a new 15.5º high-lofted model. MSRP on the Launcher Ti460 driver is $315 and the high-lofted model will begin shipping February 15, 2006.

Looks like they are making the same mistake they did with the TA-1 gunmetals by pricing them too high. You can get a true forging that is made out of real carbon steel not CMM (crummy metal material as my brother calls it :D ). Heck they can't even get VJ to play that stuff---his set is made out of 8620 like the TA-1s.

CLEVELAND GOLF INTRODUCES NEW HiBORE™ DRIVER

February 08, 2006

 

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA... Cleveland Golf is excited to announce the future in powerful, high performance drivers with the new HiBORE driver. Developed with Distance Driven Geometry, this revolutionary new driver features the lowest, deepest center of gravity in golf, face-centered performance and a sleek clubhead that sits on a chassis that's 15% larger than other large volume drivers.

 

The HiBORE driver separates itself from traditional drivers by using Distance Driven Geometry to perfectly align the center of gravity projection with the center of the clubface. The CGP is the single point on the clubface where no head rotation or "gear effect" occurs at impact. Traditional drivers have a high CGP which makes the top of the clubface the only area capable of producing efficient launch conditions. The problem is that when golfers hit the ball high on the face, they sacrifice energy transfer. By aligning the CGP with the hottest part of the face, the HiBORE produces higher launching and lower spinning drives without the losses in ball speed typically seen with high face impacts on other drivers. The larger sweet spot resulting from this alignment also produces tighter dispersion.

 

The HiBORE's extra large chassis out sizes other large volume drivers by 15% for maximized stability. Internally, 25 grams of discretionary weight has been added to make it the longest, straightest driver ever tested by Cleveland Golf.

 

"There are about a handful of products that you would say actually changed golf," said Greg Hopkins, president/CEO of Cleveland Golf. "The HiBORE driver is definitely going to change golf. We've made some good drivers in the past, but the HiBORE is in a league of its own."

 

Though initially the HiBORE driver looks to be a departure from Cleveland Golf's traditional roots, its conventional profile and satin finish actually inspire added confidence at address. The new HiBORE driver will begin shipping on March 25, 2006 and will carry an MSRP of $498.

I'm most interested in those new wedges....I wonder if they'll be satin finished? Or a variety of finishes to choose from?

[tickyboy]

If you go to clevelandgolf.com, click on the chrome model 588 wedge, and click material you can see the new DSG wedge....I hope they come in different finishes but looks really good!
