So then why the design? Why not more of a throwback to the originals? I want to hear some thoughts on this.

I don't know how popular the old wedges were but if they weren't a good seller perhaps they didn't want to revisit a past design?
I think they looked at the Vokeys, saw that they're still #1 in wedges, and said 'oh yeah?' and made a design eerily similar to them. Cleveland does more pricing promotions than Titleist so they may be going for the crowd who wants a Titleist in looks and performance but don't want to pay the price

THis makes a lot of sense Hanks, and kind of where my thoughts are as well. I don't know though, I fell in love with Cleveland's wedges b/c they weren't Vokeys, and now they look just like them. I guess I'm just sad about it.
I'm with you dude. Cleveland has been cutting edge with ideas (lighter/longer/faster, milled grooves, stock Miyazaki shafts, etc) so not seeing an original or improved design upon their existing one is disappointing. Still worth checking out though
How much do the 588's compare to the cg15's. What made the old 588's so popular?

I just don't know where you get groundbreaking in wedge design anymore. :confused2:
I don't know if you can either but they have a shaft in these that's new, and if you're going to relaunch then at least pay homage to the original in your design standards. Like I said, mimic the old cavity, that would've been sick. Now they just look like Vokey knock offs. Big mistake if you ask me.
JB has been quiet so far....he must be customizing some new wedges now lol
I agree:cake:

From Cleveland's Twitter feed:
The 588 Forged boasts 1025 carbon steel for incredibly soft, solid feel. #588Forged
Are they implying these are softer than their cast offerings?
