Just got back from Srixon - they showed us the new irons, wedges and metal woods. Can't show any pictures or share much in the way of details, but it's fair to say Srixon/Cleveland nailed it.

 

We'll have a slew of stories and videos coming - you won't be disappointed

This somewhat confuses me. There are already pictures all over other sites so why can't you show them? Mygolfspy doesn't really live up to its name if they can't show spy shots, right?

if nothing else it helps to keep good will with the companies so that they'll work with MyGolfSpy in the future, more often than not unofficially posted pictures of new gear get removed until the official blog and posts from the staff come up.

Well, that's an interesting question -- while we do have independence from OEM's in that we don't take $$ from them, we do wish to retain an element of goodwill and mutual respect. OEM's have embargoes for a reason, and as a rule we cooperate with them. We do rely on them for participation in Forum Review Opportunities and Most Wanted - it's something that works out for both them and us -- they get exposure and honest feedback from our forum, and we get to give our forum members the opportunity to review and keep stuff. It makes for a lively, fun community. 

 

Not really willing to sacrifice that just so we can show pictures early -- they provided us with pictures to use in our blogs with the understanding that we'll respect their embargo. We try to act with integrity in our dealings with everyone - readers, OEMs and each other. It would be pretty slimy on our part to accept samples for testing, pictures and reviews and then turn around and say FU to the OEM and violate their trust, never mind their embargo. They understand that we'll be honest in our assessment and call it as we see it, and they respect that (well, almost all of them respect that!). 

 

All that aside - it's an embargo on a freaking wedge. It's not like we're fighting ISIS or anything.... :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

I would think it's an update to the RTX3, since that was a few years old… And they just slashed the price to $99. As for me, I'm not sure how they will make the CBX 2.0 better, these Things are a godsend.

Not yet, I don't think. This is the replacement for the RTX line. Seeing as the prices were just slashed in the RTX and not the CBX, I doubt they are coming out with a new CBX yet. Probably next release with new putters would be my guess.

I definitely understand what you're saying here but if PGA players are using the equipment that the public can potentially see and it's appearing on USGA conforming lists that are also public then what's the point of any embargo by that stage?

 

I guess I'm saying how is posting pictures any different than posting articles like this:

 

https://mygolfspy.com/2019-srixon-z-series-drivers/

 

Even GolfDigest.com has shown and described the new driver.  Are they not under the same embargo?

Really looking forward to this one. Srixon nails the looks of their clubs more than any other OEM imho. Such classic looks even in their forgiving club designs.

 

Plus, I always have had a soft spot in my heart for Cleveland wedges. Even in the heady times of the Vokey craze—never strayed from my Clevelands!

Pix from tour are pretty much fair game for everyone -- if we had someone on tour and scooped some pix, we'd run them, too. It's accepted practice. But we don't have anyone covering the Tour, so we don't have our own pix. Those driver pix come from the USGA Conforming website - anyone can look at it (it's updated every Monday). Those are fair game as well, since they're often prototypes or not completely finished looking product - and aren't in color - and they're available for anyone in the general public to see. 

 

When it comes to pictures of samples they send us, or of pictures they provide us with for our First Look blog stories, we respect their embargo. Yeah, there are pictures everywhere, but we work with them on a basis of trust - I try to take that seriously.

 

Are there pix out there? Yep. Do others ignore the embargo? Yep. We won't.

As much as I'd love to throw Srixon irons in my bag the Cleveland irons I am playing have been awesome. I really wish more people would pay attention to these clubs. Looking forward to more detail.

As to the CBX wedge question - Cleveland does a 2-year cycle on its products, so this is the year for an RTX update. Next year will see a CBX update.  Keeping them in an alternate year cycle is smart, since it lets them introduce a new product every year, but in a different category.

Also, I find it curious that they don't have the XLow in the 62 or 64?

Maybe they think with the versatility of the 60° XLow, you wouldn't want a 62 or 64.

It seems that Cleveland has finally caught up with Mizuno and Titleist in their selection of loft/bounce options.

 

The new RTX 4 wedges have genuine low bounce options that have not been available since their old 691 Series decades ago.

 

With Mr. Cleveland himself having packed off to Callaway--I assume that he's still there--someone in the ranks at Cleveland has recognized a need.
