I've always wanted to try a set of rtx's. I've been playing mack daddy 4s for a long time. I love them. But I have always liked Cleveland wedges. They would be my 1a 1b wedges. I've played vokeys, as well and don't enjoy those at all. Just my opinion. Another great video mark. The wet vs dry was cool to see.

that is interesting to see the numbers play out mark. So much of wedge play seems like feel but without an understanding of the lie/conditions, having such an effect, then it's easy to see why 11 handicappers like me make lots of mistakes 🙂

Have to say the RTX Zipcore are the best wedges I've ever used. Have a set of low bounce Mizuno T20's for the summer and pick up a 54 & 58 high bounce RTX's a few months back for the softer winter conditions and they are fantastic

I totally agree! I have a 53 bent to 52, 56, 60 and 64 in the original 588 RTG and a low bounce 588 BECU 60...to mix and match according to conditions. In my opinion they were the best wedges ever made. And since they're no longer conforming I don't hesitate to resharpen the grooves every couple of years. I also have a set of raw Spin Milled Vokey's in 48, 52, and 58...but they rarely make it into the bag.

Very interesting. Would have loved to have seen the robot test with one of their old wedges and the improvement gained with the new wedge. I would have never thought about the higher launch and coming up shorter due to wet. I would have expected a lower spin and therefore it might go further or go the same but not stop as quick. #eyeopening #robotmytest

I struggle with this new terminology etc, wedges have not improved over the years, they either fit your eye or they dont, but having looked at some of the wedges at sawgrass in the roll of honour from 20 years ago, new wedge "technology" is just bluff in my opinion. I like Vokeys or Clevelands, now the ping glides look good, but the performance of these comes through the ability of the player.

@colonelangus3826 Жыл бұрын

Mark doesn’t really need a chipper. I think he keeps it in the bag more to prove a point about not letting ego get in the way. If you look at his club choices in the past, he used more bladed clubs but in the last few years he has gone towards more game improvement clubs. He is a great player but knows he can help more of his audience by playing more forgiving clubs so I would bet the Crossy wedge stays in the bag as long as he has room for it.

@activeskater4life105 Жыл бұрын

i'm debating whether to get the RTX Zipcore (last year's model) vs the RTX6, is there a big difference in terms of play? I don't really see any new technology except for the adjustment in MOI. Any recommendations out there?

@Kylegolfs94 Жыл бұрын

I am looking at the same thing and there is a couple things. The leading edges change dynamically based on the bounce so low will be sharper and more square and higher will be rounder and more friendly. Also they added the hydrophobic tech so that these new wedges retain spin far more when there is wet conditions. The zips are 160 each canadian and the RTX 6 are 220. I am debating whether or not that stuff is worth the extra 60 dollars. (To be fair it might feel nicer to have the newer RTX 6 for the next couple seasons than a 5 year old wedge after a couple more years). I am leaning RTX 6 54 Full and 58 Mid

??? What happened with that robot test??? First of all on the screen it shows 2000rpm of spin drop off and the Cleveland robot guy actually also says 2 grand ie 2000, while mark says 200 in the vid. For the purpose / point of this vid a text should have been added that mark meant to say 2000. Secondly since there is no comparison to the previous model I still have no clue if the new tech actually improved the wet spin performance… so the robot section adds ZERO value
