Cleveland RTX ZipCore

Blade-level - feedback over forgiveness. Less-than-ideal strikes feel less than ideal, framed as valuable feedback rather than playability, though ZipCore raises MOI and adds stability high and low on the face within a traditional blade shape. A user-friendly muscleback, but still a players' blade rather than a forgiving cavity back.

High, consistent spin - one of the highest-spinning wedges around, dropping just 553 rpm between high and low face strikes for impressively tight consistency, the UltiZip grooves (11% sharper, 7.3% deeper, 7.4% closer together) grabbing the cover from any lie. Among the best 2020 wedges for spin control.

A versatile tour blade - three sole grinds (Low, Mid, Full) across the loft range let players open the face and shape shots, the Low grind adding shot versatility and the traditional shape putting control at the heart of performance. A genuine shotmaker's wedge.

Best-in-class - widely called the best-feeling wedge of 2020. Centre strikes are very soft, almost buttery, with a smooth feel from chips to full swings via the heat-treated face and low-density core, and when struck well the feel is as pure as it gets. The standout dimension - among the softest, purest wedge feels of its era.

A smooth, matched click - a smooth, pleasant click that is neither loud nor muted and matches the feel well, a mid-range click between higher-pitched forged and lower-pitched cast wedges. A clean, understated note in tune with the soft feel.

Classic and confidence-inspiring - the shape sits in the Goldilocks zone (blade length and toe height just right) with a clean, modern satin chrome finish that inspires confidence, the traditional teardrop shape and narrow neck made to pop in the sun by the Tour Satin finish. A sleek, traditional tour look.
