Today, Cleveland Golf is announcing the release of the latest addition to their 588 line of wedges, the 588 RTX. Many of you may be familiar with the 588 RTX CB that was featured in a THP forum testing. This version features much of the same technology, but in a classic blade-style wedge. The 588 RTX was designed with input from Cleveland’s Tour staff and is sure to be a staple in many bags for years to come.
Specs
- All lofts and bounces available in both RH and LH.
- Available in both Satin Chrome and Black Pearl finishes.
- True Temper Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex shaft
- Lamkin 588 Grip
- 18 different loft and bounce options ranging from 46° to 64°.
Features
588 RTX wedges combine the legendary performance of 588 with the breakthrough Rotex Face – Cleveland Golf’s most advanced spin technology ever. This wedge is intended for players of all abilities.
16% Larger Grooves
- Developed closely with Tour players, these U-grooves are more precise and 16% larger to maximize spin on critical scoring shots – especially out of the rough, sand, and wet conditions.
Rougher, More Durable Laser Milling
- Advanced surface roughness technology is now more durable and dimensionally optimized for even more friction at impact. This helps generate even more spin on chips, pitches and partial shots from any lie.
Rotex Pattern
- Directionally milled face pattern adds roughness and imparts maximum spin on open-face wedge shots where impact tends to be closer to the toe.
S Sole
- Inspired by Cleveland Golf’s popular CG15 wedge, preferred by Tour players and amateurs alike. Wider sole width near the heel, narrow sole width near the toe improves bunker performance without sacrificing versatility.
Been waiting to see these and not disappointed in the least! Will be exciting comparing these to the J40’s that I enjoyed so much.
Definitely like where Cleveland is headed with the Rotex face and bringing it to all the wedges.
Wow! Those are sweet looking! Can’t wait to try those out, playing a cg12 now and am in the market for new wedges to complete my bag.
Must resist changing wedges again. These look awesome. 16% larger grooves? YES PLEASE! I need all the help I can get with spin.
With moving the current 588’s so much, I can wait to give these a shot. Look great like all other Cleveland wedges!
These. I want them. Combines two of the things I most want in a wedge. The new RTX tech married together with a blade style 588! These are going to be killer!
I want one of these. Love the more classic look and the talk of the S Sole intrigues the heck out of me.
I really like the looks of these wedges a lot. They seem to have softened some of the edges and this “Inspired by Cleveland Golf’s popular CG15 wedge, preferred by Tour players and amateurs alike. Wider sole width near the heel, narrow sole width near the toe improves bunker performance without sacrificing versatility” REALLY makes me like what I’m seeing. I absolutely loved the CG15 wedge, one of my favorites of all time in fact.
Liked seeing the throw back to the CG15. I loved those wedges much more than the 588.
Is there a wedge sexier than a Cleveland Wedge in black pearl? Me thinks not. Pondering, commence.
It looks great, but lost the 588 shape?
These are the wedges I’ve been waiting to see. Do not disappoint at all! Can’t wait to see these in some of the Cleveland Morgan Cup bags come July!
I will have these in the bag soon, thanks Ryan!
These will be in my bag for the MC no doubt. Great looking wedges! Thanks for the info.
I have just taken delivery of 3 New 588 RTX Wedges in 48/52/56. Will update once I’ve been on the course at the weekend.
