Spotted: Cleveland RTX 3 wedges

Published

on

Cleveland’s first-generation 588 RTX (Rotex), and second-generation RTX 2.0 wedges have been among the most popular wedges for golfers and Tour players since their release. Now, a new member of the family is preparing for its industry debut — the RTX 3 wedge line — and will most certainly be in the bags of PGA Tour players in the coming weeks and months.

On the range of the FedEx St. Jude Classic at TPC Southwind this week, we spotted Cleveland RTX 3 wedges. Based on the photos, there are at least three grinds; V-LG, V-MG and V-FG. As predicted by a member in the forum thread, this may mean “V-Sole Low Grind, V-Sole Mid Grind and V-Sole Full Grind.”

A Cleveland representative says that the new wedges have what’s called “feel-balancing technology,” which is an “under-the-hood” type of technology that “we feel could be revolutionary.”

It’s also confirmed that there will be three different blade finishes and one cavity-back finish. For more information, we’ll have to wait until July 25, which is the embargo for the new RTX 3 wedges.

    Not sure why I would spend a lot for these. Don’t appear to be that much different than the previous version. Love to see actual test data that compares various wedges. Otherwise it’s all marketing hype to me. I could care less about color and finish, until someone proves to me that it affects performance. I’d use a shovel(if it were legal) if it got me close to the pin with stopping power.

      Steve S and jack always, you don’t have to buy them if you’re happy with your current wedges, but why poo-poo on them without ever even trying it? If you bothered to read the data on these, they are in fact different from the last version, especially the sole grinds. But like I said, if you’re happy with you current setup then good for you. For those of us out here looking to upgrade or replace an old set, isn’t it OK to have new stuff to choose from? Or I guess we should all just use whatever is left on the shelves and have all the equipment mfgrs go out of business? Surely there are enough clubs in stock to keep us all playing for the next 250 years. Do you have this same opinion of car companies? You do realize they come out with a new model EVERY year, most often the same car as last year with minor “improvements” or “tweaks”? If you are not in the market for a new car, who cares? If you are, its nice to be able to get something new rather than whatever car Steve or jack are driving. I tell you what, when you are ready to get new wedges let us all know so we’ll know its OK for us to look as well.

    They better have a 4* bounce option this time and have a blacked out color finish that doesn’t fade as fast. Then I would be sold. Already game RTX 2.0s but plan to switch to SM5 or 6 because they have a lower bounce wedge in the 58* and 60* setup.

      Looks like just a movement of their current dot system for grind identification.

        its their bounce dots. 1 dot lowest bounce. 2 dots mid bounce. 3 dots highest bounce.

      Looking closely those aren’t screws. They look like punch marks.

    This game’s getting too easy. All courses should have to have 5 inch rough on all sides as standard. And in climates that doesn’t allow for grass to grow easily, they should have to have hard-as-concrete fairways and the rough totally unkept and uncut all year.

      I agree with Jack Nicklaus – it’s far too easy now and the ball goes too far.

      I would suggest making the ball square. That should protect Jack’s records and precioussss par at his courses.

        Protect Jacks record from who?? Never has been any threat to it.
