Summary: The CG12 Black Pearl is a zoomy club! The zip grooves don't really make that much of a noticeable difference in performance. It's the slightly longer shaft that really rockets the ball into a surprisingly high trajectory. This requires adjustments. I needed a 52-degree gap wedge. But after trying the CG 12 once, I realized that it delivered the same distance as my pitching wedge.
The small spoony head also made it harder to hit than a teardrop-shaped club. The scratches on the clubface after one brief practice session didn't help either. And its clunky feedback felt more like a Wal-Mart knockoff.
So I immediately exchanged the Black Pearl for a Titleist spin-milled Vokey. Man oh man! What a beautiful difference in feel, playability and craftmanship. Neither the balls, nor my game, have suffered from its extra spin: true zip!

Summary: A few reviews said this wedge doesn't spin the ball much...you guys need a lesson! This thing spins the ball as much as a Vokey!!! My buddy got his 2 years ago, plays 3+ days a week and the grooves are fine...still spins the ball like a top! I just got mine last week and LOVE IT! You won't regret getting one.

Summary: Have played Clev weg's for yrs. I love the black pearl(50,56 &60)helps/sun. The control is what I would expect. Spin in combo/ correct ball is 10 out of 10. Confidence sums up how I feel about these clubs. Only weg's that compare are T Volky's....

Summary: My course in New Hampshire has greens that act like landing the ball on a pool table... hard and fast.
I finally broke down and got two of these wedges, 56 and 52 and can actually get the ball to hold on the green. Being able to hit a short pitch to within ten feet and get the ball to stop has given me a huge boost of confidence. It removes the angst of missing greens. My ability to get up and down from within 50-yds has gone from 10% to 40%, and from the fringe to 20-yds out, gone from 40% to 70%.
My regular playing partner and good friend, after seeing me put yet another 20yd pitch shot to within three feet said "Will you STOP doing that!"
I attribute it to these wedges, not to any skill. I'm hitting the same shots as before, but now it's like throwing darts!
