MDGolfHacker Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 6 minutes ago, oaks said: I can't compare to Vokey SM7's and granted my SM5's were showing their age, but I think that the RTX4's spin as much if not more than my Vokeys. I also love the head weight and feel of the RTX's. I do feel that the Cleveland RTX 4's have a heavier head feel to me. According to Titleist's website 46*-52* lofts are D3 swing weights while the RTX 4 lofts of 46*-48* are D3. Stepping up to Vokey SW starting at 54* on up has a D5 Swing weight. Meanwhile, the RTX 4 lofts of 50* & 52* are D4 and 54* on up are D5. So in my current configuration I have the RTX 4 in the following lofts: 52* @ D4 (this is heavier than the Vokey SM7) 56* @ D5 (same swing weight as the Vokey SM7) MDGolfHacker goaliewales14 1 Quote What's In This Lefty's Bag?

It doesn't seem right to me. I'll try to grab another test just on the 50 yard shots. I was running out of time in my session so I wasn't able to hit as many as I would have liked to get a better sample size.

goaliewales14 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Today I was able to run back to my PGA SS to get back on the launch monitor for the retest of the 50 yard pitch shots. I hit nothing but pitching shots for 30 minutes with the RTX 4 vs the Vokey SM7. Below are the averages of that 30 minutes. The results aren't as dramatic as the first test, but it still has Vokey at about 700 rpm higher than the RTX 4. (Please note I was using 3 brand new Srixon Z-Star golf balls for this test.)

MDGolfHacker I actually wanted to retest anyways because as I mentioned, I wasn't able to get a good sample size. I wanted to make sure I did the test justice. Plus it as gave me an excuse to go to the golf store. In terms of the shafts, the Vokey had their standard shaft, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's the DG S200. Ours have the DG Tour Issue S400, so the Vokey being just a bit softer. That would be helping with the extra spin. In terms of bounce, I was using the M grind (8* of bounce) for the first test and today I had the S grind (10* of bounce) to get it as close to ours as possible.

MDGolfHacker Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Just wanted to comment that the Cleveland RTX 4 wedges kept me in it during my match play with the course pro! I had to lean heavily on them as I wasn't getting approaches anywhere near the green and often times short sighted myself leaving pitch and chips down hill or above the hole. In the end, it wasn't my wedge play that did me in, it was a driver that frankly, didn't want to drive. Looks like my season is over. Still, very impressed with the playability of these wedges!

goaliewales14 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Went out for a quick round yesterday to take advantage of this beautiful weather! Unfortunately, I ended up pulling something in my shoulder about half way through the round. Up until that point, these wedges were performing beautifully! I love being able to get creative with each shot now that I have so many different options especially with the Xlow. There was one shot I had 50 yards, and I need to thank @MDGolfHacker for the how this shot ended up with my 54*. Hitting nothing but 50 yard pitches to get spin rates, let's just say this was an easy up and down.

oaks Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I am finding I am relying more on my 54* for punch/abbreviated shots that I normally would have hit 60* full swing shots in the past.

MDGolfHacker Another thing I like about them is the leading edge progression. I don't like spoon-y wedges when I'm taking full swings -- just feels like if I catch one toe-side of middle it's gonna skull across the green because the leading edge stars to round off. Not sure if that's actually a thing, but I tend to over-think things and once it's in my mind, it's there. The 50* looks great, and it's a nice progression from my PW. I had debated about ordering the set wedge with my 919's but when I saw the 52* in the reviews I noticed that it's not spoon-y at all. It helps that I play regularly with someone who games them as well, so that further confirmed that I could bag these all day. That black finish is GAWJUS -- even with my oily finger prints on them...

hartrick11 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Great stuff in these reviews so far. Keep up the good work! I love the classic look of these wedges - the raw finish with the big ferrules really brings me back in time. I also love that they offer so many bounce & finish options (for righties at least) and the s400 shaft is perfect IMO. For stage 2 reviews, I know there has already been some commentary on this, but I'd be curious to hear some additional thoughts around turf interaction for the respective grinds, specifically on chips in wet/dry conditions, thin/juicy lies, fluffy/sparse bunkers. For me this is the toughest part of a wedge to test out without buying so the commentary is super helpful. Thanks in advance!

The turf interaction is great, but it all depends on what conditions you typically play, and what you want to do with it. A lot of the courses around me have hard fairways and bunkers. I have taken it off wet and fluffy, and I still love it. Granted if you need forgiveness, the Xlow isn't really the way you want to go. I wanted it so I can basically lay it wide open and do whatever I want around the green. The mid grind for me has worked really well. It's your standard grind that works well with a 54* wedge. Granted, I would like a little less bounce so I can play with it more around the green, but I've been able to knock it close on all of those longer touch shots. With this one on full shots, I don't really notice much difference between the turf interaction that my irons (Srixon Z545s) which is a good thing.

yungkory Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm thoroughly impressed with these after my second round with them. Not sure if it's the modus shafts feeling a lot less heavy and stiff than the s200's in my old wedges, or the wedge design, new grooves, or a combination of all of them. I have so much more confidence in this 58 than I ever had in my old 60, and it's been great. Once I have the distances dialed in a bit further I'm expecting nothing but great things! I'm getting a lot more greenside spin which is going to take a little getting used to. I threw a couple closer to the hole than intended, and I'm so surprised how fast they stop! sirchunksalot and edingc 2 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're describing is exactly the same issue I was having with my Glide 2.0's because they were WS. With the 54*, I definitely don't open up the blade since it has more than enough bounce for firm bunkers. This is one of the reason in my Stage 2, I wished there were more options for these wedges.

Smellis745 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I’ve been MIA lately and haven’t been online as much, but I wanted to post an update... I put these back in my bag after some additional testing. I’ve still got the stock TI S400 in, but I’ve got some KBS 610s ordered. However, at this point, I’m not exactly sure I’ll make the change. I mentioned in my review about how consistent these things were with trajectory, but not really being able to control the knockdown that I like to hit. I still can’t hit the knockdown the way I like, but the distance dispersion has finally caught on. Simple consistency just makes sense. goaliewales14 1 Quote PXG 0811X Gen 4 7.5* - Graphite Design Tour AD-HD 7 TX TaylorMade M6 15* - PX HZRDUS Green 80 TX Titleist 913 Fd 18* - MCA KuroKage XMS 90 X /// OR /// Callaway XForged UT 20* - Aldila Rogue Black 105 TX Srixon Z745 4-P - PX LZ 7.0 Vokey SM7 49F / 53F / 58K - DG TI S400 Odyssey Black #3 34” Titleist AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I hit these at my wedge fitting, and if they could’ve come down 20-30 feet, I’d have bought them. They were great feeling, nice dispersion, but boy, they went SO high. I liked these a HUNDRED times more than the RTX-3!
