Cleveland 588 54 Degree RTG Sand Wedge Golf Wedges - Reviews

On 2003-04-30, Picky Golfer rated this Cleveland 588 54 Degree RTG Sand Wedge a 5...(1229)



Purchase: I wanted a wedge with less bounce,and after exhaustive research on the internet, I narrowed my choices to Titleist and Cleveland. I also considered Callaway and Hogan. I went to an off-course golf shop. I use beryllium irons, so I like the idea of the rtg wedge. I used a standard (56 degree) chrome Cleveland 588 sand wedge previously. I paid $90.
Pros: The rtg look is good as it ages. The wedge is everything I hoped for out of the sand. I wanted less bounce and less loft because I play out of firm sand alot and the courses that I play the most have large greenside bunkers. You get more than your share of longish greenside bunker shots. With less bounce and less loft, I can hit the ball farther and more consistently out of the sand The real surprise is how well I hit it off of tight lies in the fairway. Additonally, I can hit it 20-25 yards farther than the 56 degree wedge that I also carry AND I don't blade it across the green 1 out of 3 times because of the reduced bounce!
Cons: Nothing to dislike.
Quality: Excellent construction and quality. Since I had a Cleveland wedge previously, I expected the quality to be excellent and it was.

Review Summary: I was looking for a wedge for a specific purpose, and I found it -- from the wedge experts at Cleveland. I was tempted to try a Vokey, but Cleveland still makes the best wedges.
