A three-tiered sole offers extra leading-edge bounce for improved contact, while the center of gravity is moved closer to the sweet spot through what Cleveland calls Feel Balancing Technology. The face also features premium-milled grooves to redirect moisture and turf that might impact optimal spin. 

The key addition with this release, though, is the sleek black satin finish that reduces glare for the golfer.
