Cleveland releases limited-edition Tour Rack wedges
Cleveland Golf has announced the release of its Tour Rack wedges, which are very limited-edition prototypes. How limited are we talking? Only 300 of each model were produced and they are only available at limited locations.
Aesthetically, the design takes “cool” to the next level, with an icy back flange that looks frosted over. The wedges, which carry an MAP of $249.99, come available in two lofts (56 degrees with 11 degrees of bounce and 60 degrees with 9 degrees of bounce), a trailing edge grind, a True Temper Dynamic Gold Wedge Shaft and a Golf Pride Z-Cord Grip. See below for additional specs.

Did Rory McIlroy inspire Shane Lowry’s putter switch?
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
The timing of Lowry’s putter changeup was curious: Was he just using a Spider putter because he was paired with McIlroy, who’s been using a Spider Tour X head throughout 2024? Was Lowry just being festive because it’s the Zurich Classic, and he wanted to match his teammate? Did McIlroy let Lowry try his putter, and he liked it so much he actually switched into it?
Well, as it turns out, McIlroy’s only influence was inspiring Lowry to make more putts.
When asked if McIlroy had an influence on the putter switch, Lowry had this to say: “No, it’s actually a different putter than what he uses. Maybe there was more pressure there because I needed to hole some more putts if we wanted to win,” he said with a laugh.
To Lowry’s point, McIlroy plays the Tour X model, whereas Lowry switched into the Tour Z model, which has a sleeker shape in comparison, and the two sole weights of the club are more towards the face.
Lowry’s Spider Tour Z has a white True Path Alignment channel on the crown of his putter, which is reminiscent of Lowry’s former 2-ball designs, thus helping to provide a comfort factor despite the departure from his norm. Instead of a double-bend hosel, which Lowry used in his 2-ball putters, his new Spider Tour Z is designed with a short slant neck.
“I’ve been struggling on the greens, and I just needed something with a fresh look,” Lowry told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship. “It has a different neck on it, as well, so it moves a bit differently, but it’s similar. It has a white line on the back of it [like my 2-ball], and it’s a mallet style. So it’s not too drastic of a change.
“I just picked it up on the putting green and I liked the look of it, so I was like, ‘Let’s give it a go.’”

Cleveland is a better weighted and balanced club than any other.

I wonder if the hosels break as easily as the regular retail versions.

Only reason you would break a Cleveland hosel is if you don’t know what your doing. I remember my first time bending clubs.

Dunn2500, these will NEVER go on closeout because there are only 300 pieces in the world.

I guess you are paying for the limited finish and rarity of the model. All the golf companies seem to be pushing cool finishes for a higher price since you really should replace your wedge every 2 or so years. It is the only club I would regularly replace.

Stupid crazy price but somebody will fork over the money to show how little brain power they have. I’ll just keep my Mizuno MP T-11 Wedges until the head cracks in half which will never happen.
