Cleveland golf launch new CG Black Range

Cleveland Golf have announced their new lineup of CG Black products. The new CG Black range will comprise of Driver, Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Irons, all aimed at golfers with slower swing speeds.

The evolution of CG Black began with the understanding that the average golfer doesn’t possess the tour level swing speeds that many modern day golf clubs are built for. In fact on average, amateurs swing the club at least 15mph slower than tour professionals.

Understanding this, and looking at the faults that make an amateurs swing less efficient than that of a tour player, Cleveland Golf set out to engineer clubs that make slower swinging golfers more efficient, focusing on many factors which inhibit seniors and female golfers from hitting the ball further, in turn maximising their potential.

To unlock this potential, Cleveland Golf’s R&D team set about lowering the Swing MOI. MOI is the term applied to any object’s resistance to twisting around an axis. Swing MOI is the ease of rotation (swing arc) around the center of rotation. Professional golfers properly cock their wrists, keeping the arc of their swings close to their body and generating tremendous amounts of club speed. Amateur golfers don’t utilize an efficient swing arc because they have trouble properly cocking their wrists (or casting the golf club). This pushes the arc farther from the center of rotation and greatly decreases club head speed resulting in loss of distance.

This key factor means that CG Black products promote a pro-like swing, resulting in higher head speed and greater distance with the same swing effort. In other words the CG Black range is lighter, longer & faster.

Cleveland CG Black Drivers, Fairways & Hybrids

The CG Black driver (SRP £229) is the lightest driver on the market to increase club head and ball speed for increased distance and will be available in both standard and adjustable options with both featuring the same performance benefits and technological innovations. Engineered specifically with slower swing speeds in mind. It’s lightweight, sleek design helps promote more speed and distance for golfers with swing speeds under 90mph.

The CG Black Custom Driver (available Feb 2015, SRP £279) features an adjustable hosel, allowing golfers to alter loft and face angle. CG Black Drivers also feature Variable Face Technology, to reduce distance loss on off center hits and feature a lower more forward centre of gravity to promote a higher launch angle for increased carry and distance..

CG Black Fairways (SRP £159) and Hybrids (SRP £129) utilise lower swing MOI and a lower centre of gravity in the club head to increase launch angle and carry for both Seniors and Women. Both the Fairways and Hybrids are offered in a comprehensive number of loft options.

Cleveland CG Black Irons

CG Black Irons combine a number of factors to make them Cleveland Golf’s most accurate iron to date. The lightest irons Cleveland Golf has ever created, CG Black irons make it easier to swing faster without any extra swing effort.

Making CG Black irons longer wouldn’t mean much if they weren’t more accurate and consistent too. The thin, high-strength steel face creates a larger area of maximum ball speed, plus allows for more perimeter weighting for more accuracy and consistency. A 20% larger High COR Area allows for more consistency throughout the club face, helping make this not only longer but more accurate than other clubs on the market.

CG Black irons are offered in two different models – CG Black (November 2014, SRP £649) and CG Black CB (available Feb 2015, SRP £700).

CG Black irons are designed to make Senior and Women golfers carry the ball longer. This progressive combination set of irons is designed for higher launch and longer carry for golfers with swing speeds less than 90 mph, where the 4 and 5 irons feature a hollow hybrid chassis construction to move the COG lower and towards the back of the club making it easier to launch the ball higher. The 6 and 7 iron utilise a lower COG by making the face thinner to achieve higher launch, making them easier to address and improving workability.

CG Black Cavity Back irons are designed with the better amateur golfer in mind. Players with swing speeds between 85 mph – 105 mph and prefer to work the ball towards the flag but still want plenty of forgiveness will gravitate towards these irons.

It is this combination of factors that leads to more distance and a slight draw bias. Instead of making a pure distance iron, Cleveland Golf has also made the new CG Black Irons more accurate than its competitors.
