This is a very easy club to hit. I used to have problems getting my wedge off the ground (I am the skulling king), but with the RTG that is no longer the problem. The only problem was I thought it rusted a little too fast. I found it for around $90. Similar Products Used: Yokey, Trusty Rusty |

RTG 51* and 60*
These are great wedges. They have the ideal spin rate when rusted. The 51* is very accurate and perfect from the fairway bunkers. The 60* spins the ball the way a wedge should. I have owned the 60* for two years and has been hit a lot. It's very rusted, yet the grooves are still deep. I have one problem with my 60*-the bounce. It has 3* of bounce which from hard conditions is perfect but out of soft bunkers you have to make perfect contact. Maybe the best wedges on the market.

Cleveland 588 Gun Metal
Best wedges I've ever played. I've had a 60 degree chrome 588 for a couple of years and loved it. I wore out my Ram FX pitching and sand wedges and a couple of cleveland gun metal replacements were a lot cheaper than a new set and were an obvious choice for me. I was even able to replace the exact lofts of my old wedges. I'm a 7 handicap, but the first time I played with these wedges I shot 75 and 74. I hit the ball long off the tee, so I use my wedges a lot. I have so much confidence with these clubs and they generate so much spin, I'm firing right at the toughest of pin placements. I really like how the black club head looks against the ball. I can't wait for them to rust and see how they perform. Maybe it's in my head, but isn't that where most of the game's played anyway??? Worth the $99, unless you can't hit the center of the club face fairly consistently....... Customer Service The first chrome model I had started to flake off the chrome on the back of the blade and cleveland said go get another one from the pro shop where I purchased the club. No questions asked. Similar Products Used: titleist, ram |

This is the confident booster club. The distance is very precised. Anywhere from 100 yards in, you know it would put the ball near the flag stick. The trajectory is high, and lots of spin (the ball just drop dead). It is a must wedge to have in your bag. Similar Products Used: Wilson staff, tileist Vokey |

After a week or so getting used to it, this has become my money club in my bag. Anywhere from 90 yards in I grab this and feel like I can get it near the flag. Customer Service Cleveland is a great company! Similar Products Used: None |

WOW, WOW, WOW....This is, without question the GREATEST wedge EVER. You can not buy a better wedge. I recently started using a snake eyes sand wedge but i'm more accurate thrashing this masterpiece. It is amazing. If you're a backspin freak you'll love this even more because if you want you can almost get this thing back to your feet [well, not literally]. I would recommend this to anyone, however good or bad. I started using it when I was off about 20 over 2yrs ago and I am lethal with it. One thing though you may occasionally need to take some rust off the area above the leading edge with some iron wool depending on how much you use it. On a 1 to 5 scale this is easily 100!!!

Cleveland Gun Metal Wedges
Just wanted to add that I recently purchased a 56* Cleveland Gun Metal. I like it better than the BeNi I used to use. The black frames the ball like no other club. It feels softer than the RTG's (see my other review). Again, probably not the most forgiving, but gives excellent performance if you know how to use it. I've haven't played a Vokey yet, but you can't go wrong with the Cleveland's. Best wedges I've ever used. Similar Products Used: Ping, Callaway, Odyssey, Carbite |

The RTG's are very special. Not the most forgiving wedges, but offers outstanding performance. Great distance and dispersion control. After rusting the face, balls bite extremely well. Looks cool, too. Soft feel, not as soft as the Cleveland Beni's, but soft nonetheless. These clubs exude performance. Much better than the chrome model.
