The Cleveland Smart Sole 4 wedges have intrigued me, especially as someone who struggles a bit from 100 yards in. They also have pretty good reviews. I'm a high handicapper myself and I've actually been finding success using my 9i to chip from close around the green, but I need to pay real close attention to speed because its easy to roll the ball past the hole.
I do have a question - are you supposed to be taking a full swing with these? Or is it more like a putter stroke as described in other posts? Cleveland apparently makes an S wedge specifically for sand shots, and I can't figure out if you're supposed to take a full swing with that one, or a putter stroke, or something in between. Probably a stupid question, but I just have zero familiarity with these types of clubs.
It's a putting stroke with the chipper. Be careful, if buying the Cleveland S wedge. Many swear by it. But, it's heavier than most normal sand wedges. I could never get the hang of it.
