In order to ensure that the grooves stay sharp and responsive for longer, they have undergone a new heat treatment process which is said to aid their durability over a longer stretch of time. The idea behind this is that they generate more spin, and more consistent spin, from any course conditions. The wedges feature Cleveland's new UltiZip grooves, which are 11% sharper and 7.3% deeper than previous generations, whilst also being 7.4% closer together to provide more contact between the ball and the grooves on every strike. The ZipCore gets its name thanks to a new low-density core, which shifts the centre of gravity and raises the MOI to add more stability high and low on the wedge face - both common areas for mishits when it comes to wedges.

This latest model has kept much of the same design elements as the RTX 4 and instead focused on what's under the hood in order to drive better performance. What's It All About?Įver since the introduction of the CBX range, Cleveland has been able to move the RTX line more towards the better player with a sleeker profile and improved feel and responsiveness. Having said that, Cleveland wedges have been regarding as some of the best in the business for over three decades, with the RTX line coming in at a little better value than some of the 'bigger brands' yet retaining performance levels that can more than compete. When you're trying to keep up with the golfing juggernauts that are Titleist, TaylorMade and Callaway, with all of their fancy marketing and dozens of Tour players, victories like this are an excellent way to keep your name in the picture. With Shane Lowry and Hideki Matsuyama winning major championships in recent times with Cleveland Golf wedges in the bag, the brand are proving that they are still more than capable of producing top-quality golf equipment that is suitable for the very best players in the world.
