Cleveland 588 BeCu wedges
I have had a set of BeCu 588s in a variety of lofts, for over a decade. They are light, but soft. The whole point of BeCu wedges is feel and softness on short shots. If you are buying these for "distance" you will naturally be disappointed, they are for use around the green. I originally bought mine after following Payne Stewart on a round at a charity event. I peeked in his bag and saw a worn Sand Wedge, it looked like it had been sand-blasted. He may have sanded down the bounce, in fact. At any rate, I find distance and feel incredibly consistent with these clubs. I've never needed anything else, which is more than I can say for the rest of the clubs in my bag. |

Best wedges available for non professionals that aren't bound by new conforming PGA req'ts. I've begun to stock up on these wedges particularly since BeCu have not been manufactured for some time. |

Cleveland BeCu Wedges
Best set of wedges ever made, I have been playing these wedges since they first came out more than 20 years ago. I have replaced them several times over the years and always gone back to them. For touch and feel around the greens there is nothing like them. |

I believe this club requires considerable practice from fairway lies, however it becomes a very effective once you get a feel for it. I have found that playing the ball about an inch back from center works well for me and leads to a more crisp strike and better distance control. |

I really do not understand how these get such a low rating. Many of the gripes I have read about these I do not agree with. Yes they are light and I have found I do get about 5 yards less distance from them as other wedges - Bid deal!

Cleveland 588 BeCu
Worst wedge ever. After a frustrating 2 or 3 seasons with this hunk of trash, I finally traded it in for a new RTG+ CG12. This is the first golf club i've ever felt bad about trading in. I should done the humanitarian thing and not made this club available to anyone else. It gets NO spin at all. NONE. The grooves got trashed from normal play. I had the 53* and it hardly went 90 yards. I bought it to go 110* I really hope nobody ever buys this wedge. Also, most of the five star ratings are from 90+ golfers. If I remember correctly what it was like to shoot in the 90's, I was able to identify a good club from a dud. This is a DUD. Similar Products Used: Cleveland 900's, Ping Eye 2 (my set!)

Cleveland 588 BeCu 56 and 60
I played my last cleveland 56 until I couldn't generate spin because the grooves were so worn down and I'll probably end up doing the same with this one. This time around I went with the BeCu and I've been very happy with the results.

Cleveland 588 BeCu wedge
The BeCu wedge is made to be soft, very soft. This is why it feels a bit brittle at address. It is also a light metal. This wedge will work for you if you are a feel player and looking to "throw darts" 60 to 90 yards out. If you are looking for distance (i.e. 100 to 120 yards with a SW) then you should get something else or a gap wedge. This is a unique and exceptional wedge for a feel player that wants a rare BeCu quality wedge in their bag. This is the real Mcoy. A unique attribute is that you can get this wedge to do what you want without a super aggressive angle of decent. PS: it takes some time to get used to it. "Zero tension in the arms" because it is light. A bit expensive if you pay full price... Customer Service I buy my clubs at reputable retailer. great prices great service Similar Products Used: Titleist, Callaway (great wedges) |

Cleveland 588 BeCu 56* Sand Wedge
I just don't get the bad reviews on this wedge. Mine is exceptionally smooth, very soft feel. Wonderful from about 70 yards and in. If you're trying to hit it farther than that, you should be using a gap or approach wedge. A wonderful club. |

Cleveland 588 BeCu 56 degree
I have persevered with this wedge for about 2 years now. Firsly I think it is too light. I added lead tape but this did not have the desired effect. Unfortunately it has a sole shape that suits the greens on my home course. All my other sand wedges have very broad soles that tend to bounce. It is useful for short pitches round the green but I have never got much out of it for longer approach shots, preferring to grip down on my Vokey 52 degree wedge (a superb wedge in my opinion). I will continue to look out for something different. Customer Service Never needed to use. Similar Products Used: None |
