Cleveland Golf

Really? You don't reckon I could go any more rascal?

You're not gonna call him Mizuno, are you? Cleveland.

Cleveland.

Cleveland.

Um-

Baby Cleveland Wright.

Maybe McGregor.

Maybe McGregor.

I think they have the most room to grow over all the brands in the, uh, in the industry right now.

And they have a pedigree to match, meaning that Cleveland Golf, Srixon bought Cleveland Golf, so it's Srixon/Cleveland, so they have the wedge category locked down.

And-

And Rogers back

It's up for, for debate.

If you've seen their products in the past and you take a look at this one, it, this one has a premium feel to it.

And I talked to, talked to Rob Waters, who's the, who's the head of tour for Cleveland/Srixon, and he was telling me like, "No joke, this, this driver here for us, at least on tour, has been the easiest sell to golf- to the pros." Like, they've had guys that it's like word of mouth, "Hey, can I take a look at that new driver?" They check it out, they put it down, they hit a few, and it's like, man, I'm thinking this on the golf course, and they've been getting phone calls or texts, Rob has, of, of more conversions into this driver.

I'm not saying it's gonna be the number one driver on the PGA Tour this next season, but again, I, I do think that of the brands out there, Srixon has the most room to grow at retail, on tour.

You've got, like I mentioned, you've got a very unique role.

Could you explain what kind of value you bring to, to Srixon or Srixon Cleveland?

Uh, I mean, I don't, I don't know necessarily, um, you know, what value I add other than hopefully, you know, just doing a good job of what, what they want me to do.

But, um, I think I'm probably unique in, in the sense that I am still trying to play some competitive golf and, you know, being inside the ropes with some of these kids.

So that's where the, you see now when drivers get sh- especially if you go look at dr- a lot of drivers, I actually f- I got one, I don't have it with me.

Uh, I have a Cleveland classic, uh, it looks like a persimmon driver but it's actually like a ti- a big oversized titanium driver.

It's probably one of the deepest faces that [laughs] like is, was ever made.

It's so deep o- on this club face.

Um, but because of that, like, you know, you get more workability with that style of club head versus now you see most companies they go very, they go as shallow as they can and push the dimensions out within I think it's, I think it's six inches.

Um, but they kind of just, I mean the old Cleveland, the, the Nike Sumo was a perfect example.

Like, that thing was actually fade bias and it was perfectly square because of how far, because of the way the club head is designed to push that center of gravity further away from the h- the shaft axis.

And that's where that workability comes from.

Oh, I know.

It wasn't even a good Cleveland wedge.

It was a CBX wedge.

Dude, it killed me.

That guy getting the Cleveland high board for $280.

I

was like,

Boki.

And Boki's were third, but I think it's, I mean, if you look at Cleveland and like those, those companies usually switch, switch ends.

But I wanted to just go ahead and like, so these are the Boki wedges, Ian.

that were ranked first.
