We’ve got three different finishes with a satin, black and raw option. And we’ve got four sole grinds with the full, mid, low and xlow.
Cleveland say the RTX-4 will generate more spin through the sharpest Tour Zip Grooves, most aggressive face milling, and more precise laser milling for the hottest face they have ever developed.
“It feels like the ball is really spinning off the face,” said Shane Lowry. “There are extra little grooves in there, which makes it spin more and it definitely does spin more.”
“I mean it’s got that soft feel which is so nice,” said Graeme McDowell. “I really love the bounce profile here. I like the feeling of using the back bounce on the wedge so, when I look at that, it’s something that really appeals to me.”
“What I love about this wedge is the sole in the bunker,” said Keegan Bradley. “It doesn’t dig in too much, and I’m able to really clip the ball and put a lot of spin on it. We are all very excited to play this wedge.”
Cleveland RTX-4 wedges review – NCG verdict
We absolutely loved the RTX-3 which were among the best-performing wedges of the last two years.
And it seems Cleveland had made some design and technology tweaks to make a great product even better.
My one slight issue is the fact Cleveland seem very keen to market these wedges as being for tour players.
I think quite a lot of people may be put off for thinking they are not ‘good enough’ to play them.
The RTX-3 worked really well for me and as a mid-handicapper I still want a bladed style of wedge that allows me to play all the shots I need around the greens.
Admittedly, I’m much happier playing full shots with something a bit larger but when it comes to those delicate chip shots that I want to get close, I want to be playing a wedge like the RTX-4.
And if I can make wedges like the RTX-4 work then I think a lot more people should consider them.
