Cleveland CG Black Driver
Category: Max Game-Improvement Drivers
Price: RM799
10.5° with Mitsubishi Bassara E45 graphite shaft
KEY TECHNOLOGIES: Cleveland’s lightest driver ever is very stable through the hitting zone.
PROS
DISTANCE: Reacts well to aggressive swings by producing additional length, while smooth swings and off-center hits yield surprisingly good distances.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: The club’s strongest asset; easily gets drives well up in the air and reduces sidespin even on the testers’ balkiest swings.
FEEL: Loud, explosive, satisfying crack at impact; two thumbs up for its light yet stable feel; mishits and center strikes produce comparable feel and sound.
PLAYABILITY: Very easy to hit high shots without any ballooning; in the hands of our stronger players, the CG Black provides a rare combination of forgiveness and workability; there’s no adjustable hosel, but no one seems to mind.
LOOK: The handsome, unassuming black clubhead will appeal to players who don’t like shiny; subtle blue paint on the back of the crown is a nice, unobtrusive touch.
