Cleveland 588 Wedges

SuperStroke
Here's some pics of my wedge. I told you it was in rough shape, but I still hit it all the time and it performs wonderfully.

Other than it facing hte wrong way, that thing is AWESOME.

How is the weighting of these compared to the CG-15's and 16's? I would think maybe a little robust in comparsion which I think is good so you can feel the club through the swing, help move the club head through the ball, etc. I definitely like the compactness of these, would make you focus more I think? I know that's a feature I like with the Mizuno line a lot.

I was so surprised when picking up the 16's for the first time. They felt shockingly heavy. At the time I thought the 588's were heavy but looking back now I think they are a little light as compared to todays wedges. Almost makes me think I need to rethink how I order wedges.

It's seen a lot of action in its day and it's the club I use the most when I mess around in the yard when Foster and I are golfing. Still feels sensational at impact. I tried to get a nice shot of the leading edge.
 
Nice looking wedge Lucas, it looks like it has seen a lot of action, that's good! That's about what the one I had looked like before it finally ended up getting replaced. I want a new one!!!

So if Cleveland came out with the 588's again, you'd bag them? I would in a minute.

Black Pearl. I love that finish!

I do too, but I am an option man, I'd like to choose between the two. I'm such a darn traditionalist, I like my satin/chrome wedges for some odd reason. I hate how much black pearl shows wear.
 
I would love to try these 'perfect wedges' but the lead grind would need to be straight across. Round leading edges KILL me.

I'm usually right there with you, and while this is a rounded leading edge, it's so subtle it's crazy. Like i said, not too much, but just enough. Perfect combination.

I'm with you on the showing of the wear, but in a way with the wedges I kinda like that worn look too.
 
Haha, it looks exactly like those Srixon wedges, and we all know how that went...

PS these would look sick vibranted and putterzoned, or whatever. Just tricked out to the MAX!
 
I've been out practicing and I made a little trip. Interesting...

saw some older ones that had the special in it - but it looked different - oh well, might be worth it for $30.00
