When just starting out golfing you won’t really be using your sand wedges that often – most beginner courses don’t have sand pits. However, once you start getting into more advanced courses you eventually will need to whip our the gold old sand wedge from time to time. When I am in dire situations, my current favorite wedge – Cleveland Golf’s CG14 black pearl wedge is where I put my trust.

If you are looking to buy the CG14, you can get it cheap from Amazon here.

The technology behind this club – they call it ‘Zip Grooves’ makes it really easy to control the ball even when there is a bunch of debris in the way. The deep groves channel the dirt and sand outwards so that your club face always has maximum surface contact area for better ball control and spin.

Why I bought this club?

Over the years, I have finally realized that I am a sucker for a good looking golf club. I guess this is why they make them look so cool to sucker in people like me. The black look to the CG12 and CG14 stood out to me from the rest of the equivalent wedges which is probably the reason why I bought it in the first place. Luckily it turned out to be an awesome wedge so I am totally satisfied. They do have two models of this club but I am not exactly sure what the differences are between the CG12 and CG14 besides for a slight change in look.
