I hear what you're saying man, but having that rounded design and having stampings where they are looks so like a Vokey bro. I would just like to see that cavity a little less busier, personally. Kind of like the original, where it just had the CG and "tour action"
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
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.
I agree with the mountain man. If you're going to bring an old name like 588 back, bring it all the way back: same head shape, same type of stampings. I realize that no one looks at the back of the club when they are playing a shot, and I'm not one to talk about the backs of clubs considering I'm playing the R11 irons and XFT wedges now....all of that said, I would have preferred less stampings on the back, and hope that's an option on the custom site.
I have to say, I could not disagree more with all of you here. Why not bring something all the way back? Because they found something in weighting and design that works better. Why does any golf club evolve? Because R&D says something works better.
And before I am going to say "looks like a Vokey", I strongly recommend seeing where "those" designs came from.
