Matt, From Oakley CA

20 handicap

current wedges are Cleveland RTX 2.0 in black, 56 and 60 degree. 
 

Personally I dig patina. I think things that may look a little seasoned but perform like new are just plain rad. I play through the winter, so I’ll be able to see exactly how quickly these things turn out!

I am looking for a wedge that gives me the most spin.

Arnold Palmer Wedges

looking to increase spin with a set of raw wedges that rust up nicely. Hoping for some more control and spin as my skills develop as well.

Handicap: 10

Current Model Wedges Played:

Bridgestone Tour B XW-1: 52-8

Bridgestone Tour B XW-1: 56-10

Titleist Vokey Oil Can 60-4

What Appeals to You About a RawWedge:

I’m alway looking to create more spin in either full shots or around the green. Playing the Vokey oil can has given me an idea of what a raw wedge could do.

Cleveland CG16 58 & Cleveland CBX 50

Was a fan of the old trusty rusty with the raw feel and finish in its day. Very Intrigued to see how the newer design/technology compares to the old.

60° SM4 Vokey 10 bounce

I need new wedges and Cleveland has always made quality well liked wedges so I'm interested to try them. The RAW is appealing because they look clean. I like to look in my bag and see wedges that look much different from my irons.

I thought this was a late entry at first...but then I realized it was a real test.  Great opportunity again this year.  Good luck to everyone who applies.

I thought the same at first.

Current Wedges: RTX4 Raw 52, 56, 62
 

With non raw wedges, I find that when the sun gets low in the sky at the perfect angle (which seemed to happen every time I’d play when I had satin wedges), I’d either have to deloft the club. Or, I’d have to move the ball in my stance to be able to look at the ball without getting blinded. Even the brushed steel finish from vokey and other similar offerings aren’t truly glare free. Raw is the ticket, and people think I’m better at golf than I really am when they see them

I appreciate that raw finish doesn’t allow light to refract back into my face when hitting shots into the sun, as well the look as they are exposed to the elements. Raw seems to just feel better.

Cleveland 588 rotex 2.0

Even if the grooves start to wear, hopefully the raw wedge over time will keep the spin more consistent as the grooves wear down. Also they look cool when you pull them out

Interested in these specifically due to the grind and leading edge custom options. I like the look of a rusty wedge, anything to help keep me from getting blinded while playing in the sun is a good thing.

I like the look. Not sure I buy into the whole greater spin.

I enjoy the worn look of the raw (not rusted) wedge and the increase feel (even if its just mental).  

[Dansansf7 0]

I have been playing for 25 years and exclusively Cleveland wedges with one deviation to the Nike VR Pro XEX. Most recently I put in a rotex 2.0 raw 60 and love it. I use it anywhere around the green and love that it allows me to utilize the face around the greens

Handicap- 25ish

Right now I play top flite wedges

I have never played a raw wedge, but the idea is very appealing, because I struggle to create spin

I play golf at least twice a week sometimes more but I’ve only been playing for a couple months
