Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 Wedges: In-hand photos

[GolfWRX]

Short Story: Cleveland's new 588 RTX 2.0 wedges have the company's latest Tour Zip Grooves, which are 8 percent deeper than previous versions. The sidewalls of the grooves are also deeper, leading to more short-game spin and control from the rough.

Very nice indeed. Ill take a 54 and 58 in the satin chrome!

I've always liked Cleveland wedges way back in my early golf days. That's all I played for almost 10 years.

I like that they're offering a lower bounce option in the 58/60!

[vjswing]

Okay, I think I just found the perfect replacements for my 15-year-old 588 RTG wedges!

These look good. I was considering getting a 58* Mack Daddy 2 but didn't like the shape, now I'm glad I passed. Any word on a release date on these?

[CTSpinDoctor]

THEY SHOULD HAVE LIKE A 5 DEGREE BOUNCE 60* WEDGE IMO.. do they have this?

[CTSpinDoctor]

are they offering a raw version?

[mizunoMP14]

No RTG version?

[dansrixon]

If and when a raw version is offered it is usually as a line extension later in the product life cycle.

I like the dark finish of the wedges!!

I believe S300 again like the 1st Gen Rotex's.

That's the most info I've read so far. Thank you.

Finally some 'stock' grinds on the 588! Also hoping they do a raw finish.

To answer some questions:

Release date is 9/12
Shaft is DG wedge flex
No RTG
Grind changes by bounce, so low bounce is an aggressive heel/toe grind, standard bounce is a less aggressive trailing edge grind, high bounce (now called full bounce) has no grind.

Thank you sir!

Never bagged a Cleveland wedge. These look really good though!

[Leroy Jenkins]

I like the satin versus the black pearl because you can't see all the "ROTEX 2.0" all over the face. The satins are minty and could totally be the wedges I buy for next season.

[starsail85]

how can they keep making the grooves bigger when they are already on the limit?

[PapaJohick]

That's what I was wondering. I want to move back to the Cleveland RTX but is the 2.0 really going to give me that much spin? I thought grooves on wedges now a days were already near the limit for depth and width and what not
