Cleveland RTZ Wedge – Detailed Overview

Tour-Inspired Feel. Raw Face Performance. Precision from Any Lie.

The Cleveland RTZ wedge is engineered for short-game mastery, offering unmatched spin control, versatility, and responsiveness. Its advanced face design, progressive sole options, and raw surface finish combine to deliver a wedge that excels in a wide variety of turf and sand conditions—perfect for golfers looking to fine-tune their scoring shots.

Raw Face Technology

The RTZ wedge features a raw face (unplated) that promotes increased friction between the clubface and the ball. This design enhances spin consistency, particularly in wet or rough conditions, by removing coatings that can reduce grip at impact. Over time, the face will naturally oxidize, providing a soft, tour-preferred feel.

Laser-Milled Grooves and Surface Texture

Aggressive grooves are precision-milled to the maximum allowable sharpness and depth. Combined with laser-etched surface lines between the grooves, this technology enhances spin on both full shots and delicate touch shots around the green—giving players complete control over trajectory and stopping power.

Progressive Sole Grinds

The RTZ wedge is available in a range of sole grinds designed to match different swing types and course conditions:

• Low-Bounce Grind (T or C grind): Ideal for players with shallow attack angles and firm turf, allowing open-face shots with minimal digging.

• Mid-Bounce Grind (S or V grind): Versatile across a wide range of lies, perfect for golfers with a neutral swing path.

• High-Bounce Grind (W grind): Designed for soft turf, fluffy sand, or steeper swings, offering added forgiveness and improved turf interaction.

Each grind is clearly labeled by bounce and offers refined leading-edge shaping to improve consistency at impact.

Tour-Caliber Shaping

The RTZ wedge features a compact, clean profile with a slightly straighter leading edge and higher toe peak—providing alignment confidence and precision shot setup. Progressive head shaping throughout the loft range ensures full-shot control in the lower lofts and enhanced versatility in the higher lofts.

Feel and Feedback

Balanced weighting and a soft steel construction create a responsive feel at impact. Subtle perimeter weighting enhances forgiveness while preserving shot feedback and control, making the wedge feel stable through turf interaction.

Available Lofts & Finishes

• Lofts: Typically available from 46° to 60° in 2° increments

• Finishes: Raw Satin or Raw Black, designed to wear naturally over time for improved face texture and friction

• Shaft Options: Offered in steel and graphite varieties to match player preference and swing tempo

Who It’s For:
