The distinctive look of the Niblick didn’t immediately excite many members of the GM team. The elongated clubhead has a thick topline and unusual alignment aid that requires some getting used to. We were, however, impressed by the performance. The heavy head leads your hands through a smooth chipping stroke and it’s around the greens where you notice the performance benefits. If delicate shots are your nemesis, this could make a serious difference to your scoring potential.

By incorporating key hybrid, iron, wedge and putter features, Cleveland’s Niblick has been designed to combat a variety of on-course situations. It features the same heel-to-toe length of a hybrid, while the length of the shaft is the same as a putter. It should sit at address like an iron, but there is 8° of bounce on offer that should help the average player guard against fat shots.
