The Cleveland Smart Sole Full Face is simply the biggest, most forgiving wedge system Cleveland Golf has ever made. Built around four specialized clubs — Chipper (C), Gap (G), Sand (S), and Lob (L) — this complete short-game toolkit features the largest faces ever put on a Cleveland wedge, an all-new extra-wide Three-Tiered Sole, and a powerful combination of HydraZip spin and UltiZip groove technologies. The result is a system that takes the guesswork out of every wedge shot around the green and makes it easy to reach the green in one swing — for more pars on your scorecard. The graphite-shafted version pairs all of that forgiveness with the lightweight UST Mamiya Recoil DART shaft, delivering effortless, back-friendly swings without sacrificing performance.
The Smart Sole Full Face features Cleveland Golf's largest faces ever produced for a wedge. By expanding the face area dramatically and introducing full-face grooves that run all the way to the edges, Cleveland has created up to 46% more striking surface compared to the equivalent Smart Sole 4 models. A bigger face means a significantly higher Moment of Inertia (MOI), which translates directly into more forgiveness — especially on shots struck toward the toe. Fewer miss-hits means more consistent distance and direction, giving every golfer a better chance to stop the ball close to the pin from any position around the green.
HydraZip is Cleveland Golf's proprietary face-treatment system combining a dynamic blast process and precision laser-milled lines to create enhanced surface roughness across the entire face. This additional friction is engineered to maximize spin consistency in both wet and dry playing conditions — from tight fairway chips to full greenside bunker shots. For the Smart Sole Full Face, three different blast media and laser-milled line patterns are applied depending on the loft of each model: the lower-lofted Chipper receives less blast and fewer lines, while the Sand and Lob Wedges receive the roughest blast and the most lines to generate the highest friction at impact. The result is reliable, repeatable spin output no matter where you are around the green or what the weather is doing.
UltiZip face technology produces a specialized sequence of sharper, deeper, and more tightly spaced grooves that extend across the entire face — from heel to toe and from the leading edge toward the top. Sharper groove edges slice cleanly through grass and debris at impact. The deeper channel design allows grass, sand, dirt, and moisture to evacuate the impact zone, ensuring cleaner ball-to-face contact even from wet rough or bunkers. Tighter groove spacing means more groove edges engage the ball per strike, generating more serious bite and superior consistency. Because the grooves are tighter, Cleveland engineers were also able to incorporate even more heel-to-toe grooves than conventional wedge designs, giving you uncompromising spin performance no matter where on the face contact is made.
The all-new Three-Tiered Sole is one of the most important design advances in the Smart Sole Full Face. This extra-wide sole design features three distinct levels that work together to prevent the dreaded chunk — the leading edge is given increased bounce to resist digging into the turf, while the wider rear tiers add stability through impact and ensure a cleaner, crisper strike. Whether you are hitting from a tight fairway lie, fluffy rough, hard pan, or greenside sand, the Three-Tiered Sole glides through the turf and sand consistently, reducing the margin for error. Cleveland describes this as the most forgiving wedge sole they have ever produced, and it is the key reason why the Smart Sole Full Face makes short-game success so accessible for mid-to-high handicap golfers.
New dual alignment lines are engraved at the base of the face to help golfers square the clubhead and center the ball more accurately at address. The shorter, lower line guides the player in positioning the clubhead correctly behind the ball, while the longer line above it keeps the face level in the correct plane for optimal contact. Together, they form a simple but effective visual system that reduces set-up errors — one of the most common causes of poor wedge strikes. With a quick glance at address, golfers can build more confidence in their alignment and commit fully to the shot.
The Smart Sole Full Face is designed as a cohesive four-club system covering every short-game situation a golfer will encounter on the course. The 42° Chipper (C) features an extra-large face and an extra-forgiving leading edge, making it ideal for chunk-free bump-and-run shots played with a putting-like stroke from fairways, fringe, or short rough within 30 yards of the hole. The 50° Gap Wedge (G) combines a wide sole and large cavity back design for full or partial swing shots that need to carry some distance toward the green. The 58° Sand Wedge (S) and 64° Lob Wedge (L) are configured with the highest bounce angles and roughest face treatment for demanding bunker and greenside shots requiring maximum spin and stopping power. Together, the four clubs create a seamless short-game toolkit tailored to any distance or situation.
