golfertrb Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I tried one at the demo day. They do look like something from a garage sale that had been sitting in the ocean for a few months.The only thing I would like is the anti shine properties of it. I don’t like chrome, or anything shiny. I have used a raw wedge since Cleveland came out with the RTG. It's got zero impact on performance (though OEM will occasionally claim it does) but I have always preferred the aesthetics of it. I prefer the non-glare and petina of the raw.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Shankster, goaliewales14 and yungkory 3 Quote Ping G400 LST 8.5* Graphite Design DI 6 stiff 45" Taylormade RBZ Proto 14.5* Oban Kiyoshi 85 04 42.5" Adams 4555 19* Matrix Ozik Altus 80 S/X 42" Ping G410 Crossover 2 Project X Even Flow Blue 85 6.0 40" Ping i500 4-8 Modus 105 Stiff Ping Blueprint 9-P Modus 105 Stiff Fourteen RM-12 53* and 58* Tour Issue Black Onyx s400 Odyssey Tour Black Series 9 35" Flatso 1.0 Srixon Z Star XV 2018 Ping Hoofer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Interested in the non v sole players that are using it for the first time.What was your miss with a standard soled wedge, and are these helping/adding too it?When I tried them they felt really hard, but it was in the 30’s.

My aim needs some work though but quite a few ended pin high! MDGolfHackerAgreed 1/2 and 3/4 are my go to shots close range and. I’ve been sticking them tight!

PMookie Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Was also able to play around with the wedges more yesterday, absolutely in love! I have always been good with my wedges, but these I've able to drop shots in and stick a lot better. The 56* is perfect for that off the green drop it between the pin that's 5 feet in. I am seeing a little loss in distance from the CBX gen 1 wedges I normally use. Its nominal, may 8-15 yds. The impact picture is from a slowmo video of the club hitting the ball! The picture with the ball mark on the green was from about 70 out with the 56*, I was actually able to put a lot of backspin on it. A couple years back, I was fortunate enough to get chosen by MGS to review the new RTX. Two things I couldn’t get over were the REALLY long hosel, and what looked like a LOT of offset. From one of your pics, it looks like the hosel is still long. I sure hope the offset has been decreased.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro bens197, Shankster, sirchunksalot and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goaliewales14 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) When I test wedges around the greens, I want to put the ball in the worst position possible. Any wedge out there can get a ball out of a perfect lie. The thing I feel like makes or breaks a wedge is does it give you confidence in the worst of situations. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. FYI this green is sloped away from me.

MDGolfHacker Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 A quick update on my testing of the Cleveland RTX 4 wedges. Went out after work yesterday and practiced a few chip shots from just off the green in medium deep rough (with a few bare/crab grass lies thrown in too, LOL). I was above and left of the hole leaving a downhill right to left breaker (sure, I made it a little harder than normal because I'm usually lucky enough to get these types of chips out on the course...). Hit 50 balls, holed out 4 (man the RTX 4 made me look like I knew what I was doing to the other golfer out there practicing ) - hit 24 within two feet or closer, 18 were within 10 feet and the other 4 were skulled. Practiced with only the 56*, 2 dot wedge exclusively this go around. Control was phenomenal with enough check to slow the ball down and have it roll down and left to the hole. Hit my landing spot almost everytime. Great, great wedge! Towards the end of my quick practice session, I started working on trajectory control to see what I could do with the wedges. I was able to hit SOME high flops, low spinners, and medium trajectory shots that hopped and had a little roll out ( with a few shanks in there to keep me humble... I am not a wedge wizard, but with the RTX 4's in the bag, I'm getting much closer to being one ). Feel free to ask me questions about these Cleveland RTX 4 wedges!

MDGolfHacker To give this wedge a bit of validity, I'm going to chime in here as an observer. I've played golf with MDGolfHcker for probably close to 15 years now. Wedge play has always been the weakest part of his game--I don't think he'll mind me saying that---there's plenty of shortfalls in my game---that he can pick on. During his time with the RTX his swing/style of play has not altered. But I've seen him hit some wedge shots that just he's has never hit on a consistent basis. Sure we all get those great shots now and then, that make us think we know what we're doing. But as a mid handicapper,---He drives the ball very well and has a very solid iron game-- but the results of his green-side wedge play has improved dramatically. He has a legitimate chance of getting most any green-side shot within 5 feet now. He hasn't hit many bunkers in the past month--and that's another area he has struggled with, but I only recall one hole in the last 4 rounds of so since he's had these wedges where he hit less than an acceptable bunker shot. They really are helping his game, and doing everything that Cleveland advertisers them to do.

The Cleveland RTX 4 wedges inspire a level of confidence I've never really had with the other wedges I've owned throughout the years. From my first chip, I knew these wedges were going to do what Cleveland said they would do! I no longer fear those greenside chips or the wedge approach shots; in fact, those shots are now offensive scoring weapons for me .

goaliewales14 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Just wanted to give a quick update. I played in a 2-man best ball 9-hole tournament the end of last week. The 8th hole was a par 5 that I needed to lay out after my tee shot hit a fairway bunker. Laid up to 107 yards which I thought would be perfect for my 54*. I stuck it to 4 feet underneath the hole!! Absolutely 0 roll out. Drained the birdie putt to put us +1 through 8!

Brian A Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Played one of the worst rounds, I've ever had. That being said the wedges were the only thing working. On 9th hole I had a putt roll about 6 feet off the green, chipped in! yungkory, JohnSmalls, MDGolfHacker and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: G425 9* Hzrdus Smoke Green Small batch 6.5 70g Fairway Wood: Cobra Radspeed Big 3 Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Hybrid: Cobra Aerojet 5 Wood Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Irons: T200 (4-AW) AMT Black Stiff Shafts Wedges: Tour Rack 56* 60* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
