Cleveland RTG

Model Reviewed:
588 RTG 51, 56, 50 degrees

Summary:
Had these for the last 4 years. Really happy with performance and feel. Good spin characteristics, looks great at address, not very forgiving on mis-hits. Compared 588's to cg series and cg's were slightly better in feel and spin but overall felt that there was very little between the two. Great wedge for the money.

RTG 53* & 60*

Summary:
I bought the nike forged 53* and 58* wedges about a month ago. Went out on my course and did not like the feel. They are very short wedges too. I could only hit my 58* about 85 yards. sooo i was looking on ebay and saw the 53 and 60 rtg's, i asked the guy if he wanted to trade. im so glad i did, these wedges are amazing. you barely know that you hit the ball on a full swing. im not really a long ball hitter, only about 255-260, so i have to be a good short game player. if i wasnt i would be in the 100's, honestly. the rusty look is awesome and really puts a lot of spin on the ball. i highly recommend these to any handicap, just practice. CLEVELAND IS EXCELLENT!

900 RTG 54* low bounce

Summary:
Wanted a club that I could hit off the fairway as well as a short game club, so I stuck with the TA7 sand wedge. I was never sold on the importance of good wedges but I got this rusty looking club at a great price and gave it a shot. The first thing you notice is how ugly this thing is once it rusts. After you get over that you notice how soft and how much feel you get from this club. When it comes to results you will notice how much it spins. You have to account for the spinnage and lack of roll and it will take a few rounds to get used to. The low bounce makes it easier to hit from the fairway although I must admit I haven't had too many shots in the 90-100 yard area to give a good review on. But feel is amazing around the green and I've learned to like the look of the club like the redheaded stepchild in my bag that it is.

Cleveland 588 Tour Action RTG, 53 & 60 degree

Summary:
These wedges are the best in golf (save for the cg10's, a little out of my price range), they allow an enourmous amount of control. They come from the factory with a double grind bounce angle, so the club may be used with the face waaay open (past 45 degrees) with the same bounce as at standard address. From the sand these wedges are superb. From the rough you may expect more of the same. Around the green expect to hole most shots if you have the touch. There is no shot out of the question with these wedges. With the gap I can routinely put the ball within 2 feet at any range from a greenside bunker. An easy flop from the sand, picks it clean and spins the hell out of it. Apparently Cleveland has discontinued these, so if you can find them, buy a few, you won't regret it, chances are you want a few more!
