03trdblack Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Just got back from Srixon - they showed us the new irons, wedges and metal woods. Can't show any pictures or share much in the way of details, but it's fair to say Srixon/Cleveland nailed it. We'll have a slew of stories and videos coming - you won't be disappointed Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy This somewhat confuses me. There are already pictures all over other sites so why can't you show them? Mygolfspy doesn't really live up to its name if they can't show spy shots, right? My bag is a revolving door!

OEM's have embargoes for a reason, and as a rule we cooperate with them. We do rely on them for participation in Forum Review Opportunities and Most Wanted - it's something that works out for both them and us -- they get exposure and honest feedback from our forum, and we get to give our forum members the opportunity to review and keep stuff. It makes for a lively, fun community. Not really willing to sacrifice that just so we can show pictures early -- they provided us with pictures to use in our blogs with the understanding that we'll respect their embargo. We try to act with integrity in our dealings with everyone - readers, OEMs and each other. It would be pretty slimy on our part to accept samples for testing, pictures and reviews and then turn around and say FU to the OEM and violate their trust, never mind their embargo. They understand that we'll be honest in our assessment and call it as we see it, and they respect that (well, almost all of them respect that!). All that aside - it's an embargo on a freaking wedge.

chemclub Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Really looking forward to this one. Srixon nails the looks of their clubs more than any other OEM imho. Such classic looks even in their forgiving club designs. Plus, I always have had a soft spot in my heart for Cleveland wedges. Even in the heady times of the Vokey craze—never strayed from my Clevelands!

It's accepted practice. But we don't have anyone covering the Tour, so we don't have our own pix. Those driver pix come from the USGA Conforming website - anyone can look at it (it's updated every Monday). Those are fair game as well, since they're often prototypes or not completely finished looking product - and aren't in color - and they're available for anyone in the general public to see.

Yeah, there are pictures everywhere, but we work with them on a basis of trust - I try to take that seriously. Are there pix out there? Yep. Do others ignore the embargo? Yep. We won't.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 As to the CBX wedge question - Cleveland does a 2-year cycle on its products, so this is the year for an RTX update. Next year will see a CBX update. Keeping them in an alternate year cycle is smart, since it lets them introduce a new product every year, but in a different category.

Kenny B Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 So the RTX-4 is smaller than the RTX-3.

NiftyNiblick Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It seems that Cleveland has finally caught up with Mizuno and Titleist in their selection of loft/bounce options. The new RTX 4 wedges have genuine low bounce options that have not been available since their old 691 Series decades ago. With Mr. Cleveland himself having packed off to Callaway--I assume that he's still there--someone in the ranks at Cleveland has recognized a need.
