I’m sorry, I cannot fulfill this request.

Yes, there are customization options available for this wedge. Golfers can personalize preferences such as grip size, shaft material, and club length. These options allow for tailored performance to suit individual playing styles.

Maintaining the precision milled grooves on my Cleveland Golf 588 Tour Action Wedge is crucial for peak performance. I clean the grooves after every round and apply a rust prevention solution to keep them sharp and effective.

Performance on wet or soggy turf is excellent. The precision milled grooves and trusted sole design give me confidence in such playing conditions. The club’s feel and performance make it a great choice for these situations.

The Xe1 Wedge is by far one of the hottest wedges of 2018, and while it is as “as seen on t.v.” golf club, to tell you the truth it is nothing short of amazing. The Xe1 wedge was designed to make every shot from inside 50 yards easier to execute, and this all starts with its rounded leading edge. Compared to other traditional wedges, which have sharper leading edges, the rounded leading edge of the Xe1 wedge limits the clubs’ ability to dig into the turf. This results in better contact more consistently, which will help anyone who struggles with solid contact hit better pitches and bunker shots. No matter what your handicap is, there is something of value within the Xe1 Wedge. Carefully designed to help golfers who struggle with shots from around the green, it’s hard to find an easier-to-hit wedge than this one. If you’re a golfer who is looking for a club that will help them from any type of lie, and especially the tough ones, you should absolutely try the Xe1 Wedge. The Xe1 Wedge is a perfect club for a high handicap golfer looking to improve their game both in and around the green.

The Cleveland CBX Wedge is designed to make every shot, from around the greens all the way into short approach shots. The CBX Wedge was specially designed for golfers who already play cavity-back irons to have a high-quality wedge with many of the same features. At address, the clubhead looks like a standard cavity-back 9-iron or pitching wedge. This seamless transition creates confidence that a high-quality wedge like the Cleveland CBX will perform like your favorite short irons. The Cleveland CBX Wedge has combined the style of a cavity-back wedge with the innovative technology of Cleveland Golf wedges to create a one-of-a-kind wedge perfect for all golfers who prefer a more forgiving wedge that still produces incredible results. If you are ready for a wedge that will help you from 100 yards and in, the Cleveland CBX Wedge is the club for you.

Cleveland CBX Wedge Review

The Edel Wedge is making headlines by being one of the most technologically advanced short game clubs in golf. Hand crafted by Edel Golf, the Edel Wedge is changing the way wedges are designed and manufactured. Most wedges have grooves that don’t stray beyond the center of the clubface, but the Edel Wedge’s grooves extend almost all the way to the toe and heel. The more contact the ball has with the grooves, the more spin you’ll generate. This is especially helpful when the clubface is open and you cut across the ball. Edel’s wedges technology and craftsmanship are really second-to-none. If you are looking for a consistent wedge that is engineered to perform a wide variety of shots from around the greens, the Edel Wedge is the wedge for you.

CLEVELAND WEDGE REVIEWS

Cleveland rtx zipcore.

We tested: 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, 60°, 62°

Our take: The RTX wedges have long been a popular wedge among our staff and club testers, so when we heard Cleveland was going to retool an already-good thing, we were eager with anticipation to see what the company came up with. Enter the RTX ZipCore, the best RTX wedge we’ve tried. It has a balanced feel, a consistent trajectory and a soft feel—the three must haves in a solid and trusty wedge.

Cleveland RTX ZipCore wedges

The details: The low-density ZipCore material shifts the CG to a more optimized location while at the same time raising the MOI, adding spin and improving consistency across more surface are of the clubface. Also comes with Utilizip grooves for added spin and a heat treatment designed to improve durability. Comes in three finishes (Tour Rack, Black Satin and Satin.)

Cleveland CBX Full-Face

We tested: 56°, 58°, 60°, 64°

Our take: Who said high-lofted wedges can’t be forgiving? The CBX Full-Face is exceptionally forgiving thanks to a full-face of grooves, making it easier to generate spin on open-faced shots.  Its versatility makes it fun to use but lest we not forget, it’s also a great wedge for preventing fat/chunked shots. We found it a challenge to chunk it unless we deliberately took a ridiculously steep swing.

Cleveland CBX Full-Face wedges

The details: The high-toe profile/extended toe portion makes it a cinch to hit open faced shots with added spin. Which speaking of spin, the Rotex and Laser Milling and Tour Zip Grooves cover the entire face as well for even more gripping power and maximum versatility. Underneath is a half-cavity near the heel and a solid muscle back on the toe to move the sweetspot where it’s most needed. The low C-shaped sole is also optimized for open-faced shots. 

Cleveland CBX ZipCore

We tested: 44°, 46°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, 60°

Our take: A great wedge is only as great as you are, right? So might as well choose one that makes you better and prevents fat/thin/skulled and chunked shots. Better yet, the CBX ZipCore hides the technology on the inside of what looks like a traditional wedge. Lest you not be fooled, though. This wedge feels and performs like no other, offering extra forgiveness in a compact shape that hides all its tech at address.

Cleveland CBX ZipCore wedges

The details: A high MOI is achieved via a ZipCore material in the hosel for a precisely placed CG and a higher MOI. Additional technology includes a Hollow Cavity design with weight in the toe for a more balanced feel and added forgiveness across the clubface. Lastly a Gelback TPU insert softens vibrations for a better feel. Comes in three different wedge grinds for a custom fit.

Wonderful Article! tstoto tstoto tstoto tstoto

Wonderful club, I believe this wedges are better than the new products I have tried, played ping for years. The 900's are like a butter knife in your hands.

Customer Service

Very Good, very professional.

Well what can I say. It's my favorite wedge in my bag. It gives me confidence when I look down on the ball.It's very very versatile you can hit it high and land it soft, you can hit low and run it up to the hole, or you can hit it mid. The wedge cuts through just about anything so you won't be worried about soft or hard ground. It's easily my favorite club to chip with. What can I say I love it.

If you buy one of these expecting immediate results, you're going to be disappointed. These wedges take a bit of getting used to because the heads are a little heavier than what you'd normally play, but after a couple weeks, it's well worth it. These things make those 60 yard pitches so simple. They are easy to hit low or high and even work left or right if you want. I have noticed some increased spin, but I'm not pulling it back 30 feet like some of these other reviewers. They definitely stop on a dime though. If you can afford to get one or more of these, they are a great way to save some strokes on the short game.

all of them, vokeys are only comparable club, these are the best

As one guy said. "Butter" I bought it from a guy for $20. Best $20 I spent. Great for the Sand and under 100yds.

This wedge is great... You get great feel, exceptional spin, and great distance control... This wedge should be in everyones bag...!

Titleist Volkey, Cleveland 588

forgot everything else.

Awesome. bought this wedge rusty for £20 off ebay and found it to be amazing. ive only used it for round and playing 5 under my handicap and I chipped in once off a downhill lie from 30 yards. The feel is great, its good out of bunkers, it gets a lot of spin, is just the right weight and just slides under the ball so easily popping it up high. I found it especially good from just off the green.

titleist vokey,progen gunmetal (neither nearly as good in my opinion)

These wedges are fantastic. I have much more control of spin with the low bounce 60º. The bounce on the 56º is a little different then my previous Cleveland Chrome, and that took a couple days at the practice bunker. But over all greats clubs, highly recomended.

None needed yet

Wedge Reviews

Cleveland 588 wedges: editor review.

Pros:  Great feel and a great shape from address.

Cons: The   graphics are very busy on the back of the wedge and grip.

Overall:  The 588 Forged Wedges have a great look that can be customized by each golfer through My Custom Wedge on Cleveland’s website. They also have outstanding feel with several bounce options to fit each golfer and their varying needs.

__________________________________________________

Performance/Playability

Amazing is the easiest way to sum it up. Cleveland offers a wide variety of bounce options to help with our varying needs. I play a wide variety of shots with my wedges and every shot I attempted these wedges executed to perfection. Out of the sand, especially, and fairway bunkers, these are fantastic. I have found that the spin off of these wedges is up there with anything on the market today.

Looks and Feel

I went with the Black Pearl finish on my wedges and it is fantastic. It has a bit of shine to it but has a muted face due to the milling on the face. After three weeks of play, it does show some wear on the face and sole however the finish has stood up very well.

The wedge head itself has a very round profile which suits my eye perfectly. The only negative I have found with these wedges is in the looks department, however. The graphics on these wedges are just to busy for my tastes. Cleveland should have gone simple instead of putting so many logos and writing on the wedge.

I do not need to see laser milled outlining the faces of my wedges. I prefer a nice clean look and this somewhat takes away form an otherwise great looking wedge. This however can be customized through the Cleveland My Custom Wedge program as well.

The wedges are forged from 1025 Carbon Steel, which provides great feel. The area the Cleveland 588 really shines is the Tour Concept Shaft. They feel fantastic and really help keep the ball flight down a touch but they increase spin at the same time. It is a great alternative to the Dynamic Gold Spinner.

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a wedge that you can hit almost any shot with and has an outstanding look then the Cleveland 588 should be on the top of your list. Cleveland has done a fantastic job bringing custom options to the average consumer. It is a trend the wedge industry is starting and it is something that will be a huge help in finding the “perfect” wedge.

Liked all the ideas surrounding the 588 series 2 60′ wedge. Changed the grip for a midsize and cannot stop shankiing. Centre of gravity is far to close to the hosel. Tried different swings also stand furthur away,even had the club bent flatter then more upright,grip it shorter, make sure hips are cleared and still hit it a inch from the hosel no matter what I did I would shank at least one in five . Worst club I have had anything to do with.

Sep 20, 2015 at 6:32 pm

hey greg, you sure its not your technique that you are shanking? LOL. always the arrow.

Jun 9, 2016 at 10:22 am

I had the exact same problem. 100% agree with this comment. I have an SM5, older Tour Action from 2001, new TM PSI forged. This was the only club I have ever had this issue.

Apr 18, 2013 at 3:15 pm

Got two (56 and 60 degree) the other day from my pro shop. they went fro $75 each. excellent wedges with a solid feel. a little excessive detailing on the back of the club but i think Cleveland did a great job with these wedges. I really enjoyed the stock tour concept shafts (by true temper). A point to note is that after a few rounds with these wedges u might notice that the laser milling, especially at heavy contact area on the club face, begins to wear off. not sure what cleveland had to say about this but there are forums saying that the laser milling is actually not meant to be seen. But anyway i didnt really notice much difference with the spin (or maybe im just not good enoug to notice) however i feel that overall they are very good wedges and , for the price i got it, was well worth it.

Mar 4, 2013 at 1:49 am

I am really happy with my 588 Forged wedges and just picked up another one for a clearance price of $99.95.

Dec 29, 2012 at 7:49 pm

I used to pay the CG15s. The only complaint with the new 588 is the 54 degree is heavier than my 15. I think I’m going to look at vokey as they’re the same weight as the old cg15s.

Aug 24, 2012 at 12:12 am

I had an old 588 57 sand wedge, regretted selling it. Just bought an old 588 53 wedge, love it with PX 6.0. Hope the new model is as great as the old Classic! ps love my DST 17 hi launch, 64 Diamana ! Wow!!

Aug 12, 2012 at 12:36 am

Cleveland hit a homerun when take a vokey wedge and gave the head a slightly smushy/angled tilt to it. Vokey wedges and Cleveland wedges rock ! Embrace the smush!

While they may have improved the manufacturing process. There is nothing different about this wedge. Its the same chassis they’ve been using for the past 3 wedge lines. The company’s spiraling down the toilet so they’re back pedalling to their backbone products to try and right the ship. I give them another 2 years before srixon dumps them.

Aug 6, 2012 at 1:08 am

i never understood why any club manufacturer would produce chrome wedges. i never understood why anyone would buy one. i just don’t understand many things.

Jul 25, 2012 at 12:29 pm

I have played Cleveland 588’s for 4 seasons, before recently switching to Edel wedges. I wont compare the 2, because the edels are custom fitted, custom ground, etc etc, and I have been getting more spin from them, even with conforming grooves. Bu8t I do not have a single bad word to say about the 588’s. Great feel, great profile, great performance. Just solid all around wedges.

I still prefer my 588 Sand Wedge to my Edel Sand wedge though, but that may be because im used to its feel in the sand. Bunker shots arent generally something I get to play more than 2-3 times a round, aside from the practice greenside bunkers. Overall, i would reccomend these clubs to anyone.

Jul 24, 2012 at 5:44 pm

Do the satin finish wedges rust? If not, are they going to release this in raw like the old 588s?

Titleist launches new Vokey WedgeWorks 60 “A” grind wedge

Chris Kirk explains his unique Callaway prototype wedge (and how black irons help)

What is it about that Titleist Vokey T-grind? You won’t believe how many top-100 players use it

7 takeaways from an AWESOME equipment talk with Padraig Harrington

Shane Lowry on the new Srixon ZX Mk II line (fairway wood, utility, ZX5/ZX7 irons)

SPOTTED: Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore Tour Rack wedges at the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open

The menu of grind options just got more expansive for Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks consumers, with the addition of a “60A” wedge to the lineup.

Previously, Vokey offered seven main grind options for players with various needs :

• T Grind: The narrowest sole option, which is widely used by PGA Tour players, and has low bounce
• L Grind: The lowest bounce option, with heel, toe and trailing edge relief for maximum versatility
• F Grind: An all-purpose grind that’s best for full wedge shots played with a square face
• S Grind: A neutral grind, best for full shots played with a square face
• M Grind: A versatile grind that’s for players who want to open and close the face for various shots
• D Grind: A higher-bounce wedge that’s for players with a steep swing angle, but want to play shots from various club orientations
• K Grind: The highest-bounce wedge option, with heel, toe and trailing edge relief for versatility

Titleist has now added the “A” grind, which has actually already been played on the PGA Tour by golfers such as Tom Kim, who used an A-grind to win three times on the PGA Tour, Wyndham Clark, who won the U.S. Open using an A-grind, and Max Homa, who used an A-grind at the 2023 Open Championship.

According to Titleist, the Vokey WedgeWorks 60A wedge is a low-bounce option that’s for golfers with a shallow angle of attack, and who play in firmer conditions. It has a “smoothed-out” sole for a faster feel through the turf, helping some golfers slide under the ball easier at impact.

“The most important club for me, probably in my bag, is this A grind,” Clark said, according to a Titleist press release. “I use the SM9 60-degree A grind, which is a low bounce 60 that is very versatile. I’m able to – on tight lies, rough, wet lies, firm lies, whatever it is – hit the shot I want, and with the amount of spin I want, trajectory and everything.”  

Apparently, Geoff Ogilvy played a large part in the A-grind coming to life.

“I spoke with Geoff (Ogilvy), and we got on the topic of Australian golf courses and how they compared to courses in America, and around the world,” said Vokey Tour Rep Aaron Dill, in a press release. “I asked him some specific questions, which resulted in an idea to design another lob wedge grind option that complemented the firm links-style conditions that players face – not just in Australia and Europe – but globally. Geoff has always been a low bounce player in his 60-degree, so I took his 60.04L wedge and removed the ribbon, resulting in a grind that moves through the turf quickly with very little resistance.” 

The new Vokey A-grind will be available on Nov. 7, selling for $225 each. Custom options include up to six toe engravings, 10-15 character stamping options, the Flight Line alignment feature option, and custom shafts/grips/ferrules are available.

In-Depth Review: Titleist Vokey SM6 Wedges

Pros: A new, progressive CG design helps the low-lofted wedges fly a few yards farther, and improves the feel of the high-lofted wedges while boosting consistency. With lofts from 46-62 degrees and five distinct grinds, most golfers will be able to find an SM6 wedge that works for them.

Cons: At $149, they’re $20 more expensive than SM5 models.

Who they’re for: All golfers.

• Price: $149 (MAP)
• Lofts: 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62
• Grinds: F (46-56), S (54-60), M (54-62), L (58-60), K (58-60)
• Finishes:  Tour Chrome (plated), Steel Gray (plated) and Jet Black (QPQ)
• Stock Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold S200
• Construction: Cast (8620 carbon steel)

A glance at Vokey’s new SM6 wedges reveals that something is different. Some golfers will understand the science of why the wedges look like they do, but many won’t. Unlike a lot of new golf club technologies, however, golfers won’t need to be in the know to be impressed. I don’t talk about the “cool factor” in many of my reviews, but the SM6 wedges certainly have it.

Those curves on the back of the SM6 wedges? They create what’s called a progressive center of gravity (CG), which means the weighting of the SM6 wedges varies based on loft. The lowest-lofted SM6 wedges (46-52 degrees) have the lowest CG, the mid-lofted wedges (54, 56 degrees) have a higher CG and the highest-lofted wedges (58-62 degrees) have the highest CG. The three different CG positions match the desired impact area on each wedge’s club face — lower-lofted wedges are generally contacted lower on the face, while higher-lofted wedges are generally contacted higher on the face — to improve trajectory, feel and consistency.

Low-Lofted SM6 Wedges 

If you’ve ever wished your Vokey 46-, 48-, 50- or 52-degree wedge flew a little farther, SM6 models will. Vokey says the low-lofted SM6 wedges create about 1.5 mph more ball speed and 3-4 yards more distance, and I buy their claim after testing SM6 wedges that were built to the same specs as my SM5 models on Foresight GC2.

“Distance doesn’t matter with wedges,” you might be saying, and you’re correct in theory. Who cares if your gap wedge goes 110 or 113 yards, as long as you hit it a consistent distance. That’s not the issue, though. Improvements in golf equipment technology have irons flying farther than they ever have, which means more golfers need a club — and maybe even two clubs — between 46-and-52 degrees to bridge the gap between their shortest iron and mid-or-high-lofted wedge.

I’m one of those golfers who needs two wedges to fill the gap. I use a 9 iron that measures 41 degrees and carries about 150 yards. I also use a 54-degree wedge (bent to 55 degrees) that carries about 105 yards. I fill the gap with a 46-degree wedge (bent to 45 degrees) that carries about 135 yards. I prefer its look and feel to the pitching wedge from my iron set because I can vary trajectory more easily with it. I also carry a 50-degree wedge that carries about 120 yards.

An issue I had with the SM5 wedges (46-08 F Grind, 50-08 F Grind) is the same one I’ve always had with other low-lofted wedges. Many times when I tried to hit them a little harder to make them go a few yards farther, they didn’t. Shots often just went higher due to excess spin. I’ve seen countless golfers experience this problem, especially better players.

The biggest improvement to the low-lofted SM6 wedges is that they create a more iron-like ball flight. It’s slight, but their faster trajectory is a little bit less likely to balloon. To me, they also feel slightly softer than the SM5’s at impact.

Probably just as important as the new progressive CG design of the low-lofted SM6 wedges is something that isn’t new — the different bounce options Vokey offers in its 50- and 52-degree wedges. Both the 50- and 52-degree models are offered in F Grinds with effective bounce angles of 8 and 12 degrees. Most manufacturers offer multiple bounce options in their mid- and high-lofted models, but it’s rare to see two different options in low-lofted models.

In July 2015, I traveled to Titleist’s Oceanside, California Test Facility to learn more about the company’s 716 iron line. During the downtime, Titleist offered me an opportunity to be fit for SM5 wedges by the man himself, Bob Vokey. My steeper angle of attack theoretically made me a better fit for the 50-12 F Grind (a 50-degree wedge with 12 degrees of effective bounce), but my results were better with the 50-08 F Grind.

Vokey explained that the reduced bounce helped me contact the ball slightly higher on the face, and that improved my ball flight. That moment cemented how important it is for golfers to be fit for not just their lob wedge, but for as many of their wedges as possible.

Mid-Lofted SM6 Wedges 

The mid-lofted SM6 wedges (54 and 56 degrees) are most similar to the SM5 models, as they do not have the weight pads used in the low-lofted and high-lofted wedges. That’s because, according to Vokey representatives, the CG of the mid-lofted wedges was pretty much where it needed to be.

For that reason, the biggest change golfers will notice if they switch to an SM6 from an SM5 is the shaping. Unlike the low-lofted SM6 wedges, which are significantly smaller than SM5 models and have shorter hosels, the mid-lofted SM6 wedges are roughly the same size. There’s no denying, however, that the shaping of the SM6 wedges gives them a more streamlined look. Their toes are more rounded, their top lines are thinner and their par area, the part of a wedge’s top line that conjoins with the hosel, blends more seamlessly.

I’ve given my SM5 and SM6 54-14 F Grind wedges (bent to 55 degrees) to several golfers and had them hit shots with each one to see if they could notice a different in feel. Some told me the SM6 felt softer, while others told me the SM5 felt softer. For that reason, its hard to make an absolute statement about a change in feel in the mid-lofted wedges. I’ve had a few golfers tell me the SM5 wedges look better at address, but many more have preferred the look of the SM6.

Before moving on to the high-lofted wedges, I want to point out two more things; one is specific to the mid-lofted models, one that is not.

SM6 wedges use Vokey’s new TX4 grooves that feature a parallel face texture to increase spin and consistency.

• Like SM5 models, both the 54 and 56 are available in three different grinds (F, S and M). For the SM6 line, however, the popular M Grind has 2 degrees less effective bounce to make it more versatile from a wider variety of lies.
• All SM6 wedges also feature Vokey’s new TX4 grooves, which use a machine-milled, parallel face texture that Titleist says can increase consistency and sharpens groove edges to add as much as 200 rpm of spin. The SM6 wedges also use the same progressive groove design as the SM5 wedges. The lower-lofted wedges (46-54) use narrower, deeper grooves to displace more debris on square-face shots, while higher-lofted wedges (56-62) use shallower grooves that create more friction on open-face shots.

High-Lofted SM6 Wedges 

With a slightly higher CG, the high-lofted SM6 wedges do seem to launch shots slightly lower and with a little more spin than SM5 models, and that’s exactly what most better players want their high-lofted wedges to do. But the change likely won’t be noticed by the majority of golfers. What they will notice, however, is how much better the high-lofted SM6 wedges feel at impact. Every golfer has experienced the “clank” that occurs when a wedge shot is hit too high on the face, or toward the heel or toe at impact. With the high-lofted SM6 wedges, those shots felt softer and more solid.

Due to their higher CG, the high-lofted wedges also seemed to be a little more consistent in my testing on Foresight. Especially when hitting 50-yard shots, I saw that the 60-degree SM6 M Grind wedge seemed to land a little closer my target on mishits. Sometimes it flew 1-2 yards farther than I expected when I contacted a shot slightly on the toe or the heel; sometimes shots just held their line just a little bit better. The difference is small, but can make an difference. We’re all better at making 6-foot putts than we are 9-footers, aren’t we?

As for shaping, the new wedges don’t look the same as the SM5’s at address. They appear slightly larger, and have the same general appearance as the other wedges in the new line.

At Address: A Vokey SM6 lob wedge (60-08 M Grind)

No discussion of a Vokey high-lofted wedge is complete without mentioning their four distinct sole grinds, which Team Vokey continues to tweak based on its work with Tour players, as well as average golfers. Despite the several improvements to the new wedges, the grinds continue to be one of their main selling points. That’s how powerful using the proper sole grind can be.

Again, it’s best to get fitted, but if you can’t, the chart and list below offers a few starting points.

• If you struggle from the sand, try the K Grind (available in 58, 60). It has the widest sole of any Vokey wedge, and can work well for golfers with steep attack angles. Compared to SM5 K Grind wedges, it has 1-degree more effective bounce to help the wedge better resist digging on square-face shots.
• If you play courses with extremely firm turf conditions, try the L Grind (available in 58, 60). It has the lowest effective bounce (4 degrees), and slightly more camber than SM5 models to goflers resist digging.
• The M Grind (available in 54, 56, 58, 60, 62) will work best for golfers who like to manipulate the face open or closed, while the S Grind (available in 54, 56, 58, 60, 62) is better for golfers who tend to play more square-faced shots. The 58 and 60-degree S Grind wedges have 3-degrees more bounce than SM5 models.

Vokey Custom Options

As noted above, I don’t use a standard SM5 wedge. At Oceanside, Vokey fit me for a V-Grind that’s offered through the company’s Hand Ground Program. According to Titleist representatives, Hand Ground SM6 wedges, which make available Tour-only grinds and enhanced customization options — will be released to the public at a later date.

Do I really need a V-Grind wedge? I must admit, with a little practice I could probably use the SM6 M Grind and hit all the shots I need to hit. But I liked the performance V Grind enough to pay the extra money for it (Hand Ground wedges start at $350 each).

For golfers not willing to pay that much for a completely custom wedge, Vokey offers more affordable custom options to standard SM6 wedges through its WedgeWorks Services . Through the program, golfers can customize the shafts, grips, shaft bands, ferrules, stampings and paintfill of their wedges. I’ve had several wedges customized through WedgeWorks, and the work is always A++.

Should you Upgrade?

If you’re currently using a set of properly fit SM5 wedges, your transition from them to the SM6 models should be an easy one. Many golfers will see certain benefits from the newer wedges, as I did, but they may or may not warrant an immediate upgrade, especially if their grooves are still fresh.

An aside about buying wedges: Many tournament players purchase two sets of wedges at a time. They practice with one set and use another on the golf course, which keeps their grooves as fresh as possible for tournaments. While it doubles cost, it helps their gamer wedges last longer and adds peace of mind that they’re getting the best possible performance from their wedges on the course.

Review: Callaway MD3 Milled wedges

Pros : Options are plentiful with the MD3 Milled wedges. There are three different sole grinds, two finishes and a wide range of lofts (46-60 degrees). Low-lofted, mid-lofted and high-lofted wedges are each equipped with a distinct groove design that’s tailored to shot-specific needs. 

Cons : Wedge heads are not able to be customized with stampings, engravings or paint fill. Unlike Callaway’s Mack Daddy 2 wedges , the MD3 Milled are not forged. 

Who they’re for:  Anyone can play the MD3 Milled wedges, especially with the addition of the wider-soled “W Grind.”

• Lofts available: 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees
• Grinds:  S Grind (46-60), W Grind (54-60), C Grind (56-60)
• Finishes: Matte Black (46-60) and Satin Chrome (46-60)
• Price: $129.99
• Stock Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold S300

New and improved are popular terms in the golf equipment world, but generally there’s more emphasis on the “new” part than the “improved” part. Fortunately, what’s new about Callaway’s MD3 Milled wedges also offers noticeable improvements over previous models from the company.

So what’s new and improved about the MD3 Milled wedges? Here are five things to know about them.

Throwing weight around

Each MD3 Milled wedge has four colored ports in its rear cavity. Weight was removed from those areas to give the wedges a higher-toe design that moves the center of gravity (CG) higher for a slightly lower launch and more spin — exactly what the best golfers want from their wedge shots.

For me, it wasn’t the fact I could hit the 58.9 S Grind with as much spin as I wanted; it was the ease with which I was able to alter the trajectory. With the 54.12 W Grind, I had no problem hitting the ball high to front pin locations, or flighting shots that minimized the effect of the wind.   

Shot-specific grooves

All 54- and 56-degree (pictured) MD3 Wedges have Callaway’s 20V grooves.

With the MD3 Milled, Callaway offers three specific groove patterns to optimize launch and spin based on the loft of the wedge. Pitching and gap wedges (46-52 degrees) have Callaway’s 30V grooves, which have 30-degree side walls that perform best on the more aggressive, downward strikes that are common with the clubs. Mid-lofted wedges (54-56 degrees) use Callaway’s 20V grooves, which have 20-degree side walls that excel on bunker shots and full swings. Lob wedges (58-60 degrees) have Callaway’s 5V grooves, which create maximum spin on shots around the green.

In testing, I was most impressed with the 5V groove, which does a remarkable job moving additional moisture and debris away from the ball. That came in quite handy when navigating juicy lies around the green.  

More refined grinds

The MD3 wedges are available in three distinct sole grinds: S Grind, C Grind and W Grind. My thoughts on each are below.

S Grind: The “S” is the most versatile of the three available grinds. I’m tempted to say that S stands for “Swiss Army Knife,” as there was no shot I couldn’t hit with the grind. It was the most consistent grind on full swings from the fairway and tight lies, and more than held its own out of both light and deep rough. There’s no doubt that the S Grind will fit the majority players, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with bagging the S Grind in two, three or four different wedges, depending on your bag setup.

C Grind:  This grind offers more heel and toe relief than the S Grind, creating an effectively thinner sole that excels in firmer conditions. While it doesn’t play nice with steep angles of attack, the additional relief in both the heel and toe did keep the head moving through the rough and allowed the leading edge to sit nicely under the ball at address — especially on open-faced shots. That adds versatility for golfers who hit a lot of specialty shots around the green.

W Grind:  The W Grind is ideal for bunker play, messy lies and players with steep attack angles. It was my favorite grind, because it seemed to get better the closer I got to the hole. Out of both light and deep rough, the W Grind operated like one of those old ginsu knives, but without the lame sales pitch. Getting up and down from gnarly lies around the green felt entirely too easy. And if the lie was clean and the turf was on the softer side, I had no problem hitting aggressive shots with a square or opened club face because I knew the wider sole would resist digging. Especially on less-than-full shots from inside 100 yards, the W Grind quickly earned the go-to spot in my bag.

Two finishes

The MD3 Milled’s Matte Black finish (above) will wear and rust over time, while the Satin Chrome, which is plated, will show less wear but produce slightly more glare on sunny days.

Although the MD3 Milled wedges aren’t forged — they’re cast from 8620 steel — both finishes felt fantastic with an edge in softness going to the Matte Black.

Looks to get emotional about

At Address: A 58-degree S Grind.

Last but not least, the MD3 Milled are an awesome choice if you favor a teardrop shape at address. In that regard, the MD3 Milled approaches aesthetic perfection. The slightly raised toe and marginally straighter leading edge, compared to previous models, gives the wedge a clean look that balances angular lines with subtle curves.

Notice the added sole curvature visible at address in this 56-degree wedge, which is a result of its C Grind.

For all the time we spend looking at the face of the wedge, many golfers are concerned about the appearance of the club as it sits in the bag. Some will call the cavity of the MD3 Milled is a bit gaudy, but others will see the four luminescent ports and green accents as fun and recognizable.  

The Takeaway

The W Grind will work best for golfers who play golf in soft conditions, as well as those looking for improved sand play.

The MD3 Milled are the best production wedges Callaway has released in the past decade for a variety of reasons. At $129.99, the three distinct grinds and two finish options should cover the needs of most interested golfers. The shaping of the wedges is also so beautiful at address, and I found them to look and feel as good as leading wedge models.

The lack of custom options — stampings, paintfill, etc — isn’t a deal breaker, but does leave some room for improvement. At the end of the day, however, wedges should judged on how they perform. With an improved weighting scheme and loft-specific grooves, Callaway put performance first with the MD3 Milled and it won’t go unnoticed.

What Are The Dots On Cleveland Wedges?

By Lawrence Smelser

Updated On June 5, 2023

Cleveland wedges are some of the most popular and well-performing clubs in the golf world and have been for years. Many professionals and amateurs have chosen to rely on this brand of wedges for green side chip shots or approach shots.

Not many people know what the one, two or three dots on Cleveland’s wedges mean though. This article will explain what those dots signify.

Cleveland Wedge Dot System

The Cleveland wedge dot system indicates the amount of bounce for each wedge .

In terms of Cleveland wedge grinds, one dot represents a low bounce grind. This bounce is good for golfers who play on harder grounds and with a shallow attack angle

The two dots represent standard Cleveland grind types , including a medium bounce and a mid bounce grind. This is ideal for a variety of course conditions and course types.

📋 Keep in mind : Players, including beginners , who have many different swing styles around the greens can use a standard bounce.

Three dots signifies high bounce and a full sole grind. This is ideal for golfers who swing at the ball with a steep angle. This bounce works well with soft and wet conditions.

When choosing a wedge, the Cleveland wedge selector can help golfers find the right club to match their swing style and course conditions.

What Is Bounce On Cleveland Wedges?

The Cleveland wedge bounce chart for Cleveland’s blade wedges shows that one dot would represent six degrees of bounce . If using a 56 degree sand wedge with an eight degree bounce, that would also be marked with one dot.

The most common among the wedges are two dots . A 46 or 48 degree wedge with eight degrees of bounce would be considered medium. Same goes for a 60 degree wedge with a 10 degrees bounce.

📢 Need To Know : A sand wedge (56) with a 14 degree bounce would be considered 3 dots as well as a lob wedge (60) with a 12 degree bounce.

Importance Of Bounce In Wedges

Golfers need to know what bounce is in order to maximize their short game potential and figure out which one they are most comfortable with.

On a clubhead, the bounce is a thick and curving piece that lies on the ground.

Bounce helps players make clean contact rather than skulling their club.

The club’s leading edge determines how much bounce it has. If the edge is lower to the ground or vice versa, the higher or lower the bounce of the club will be.

📢 Need To Know : Bounces ranging from 0-10 are meant for dry grounds. Bounces from 10-16 degrees are ideal for wet or softer courses.

Now that you’re familiar with Cleveland’s 3 dot bounce system, you can brag to your friends and try them out for yourself. Cleveland RTX wedges are available at more competitive prices than many 2020 wedges.

They were used by Graeme McDowell and might be worth experimenting with at your local golf store. Be sure to mention if you’ve used three dot wedges in the comment section.

What does 588 mean on Cleveland wedges?

he Cleveland RTX 588 wedge model was created in 1988 as the 5th model of Cleveland wedges. The “88” in the name refers to the year it was created, while the “5” refers to the number of different bounce angles available on the sole.

What is the difference between 2 dots and 3 dots on Cleveland wedges?

The difference between two and three dots on Cleveland wedges denotes the amount of bounce. Two dots indicates medium bounce, while three dots means high bounce. This is important to consider when selecting a wedge, as the amount of bounce will affect how the club performs on different types of shots. For example, a high-bounce wedge will be better for shots out of soft sand, while a low-bounce wedge will be better for firmer conditions.

Cleveland: A history of wedges

Following the launch of Cleveland

From the Classic wedge of the early 80s to the brand new 588 RTX, Cleveland has led by example, with game-changing innovations such as Multiple Finishes, Zip Grooves, Laser Milling and Precision Forged.

With that in mind, we’ve scrolled through the archives to provide you with everything you need to know about the history, heritage and success of the brand through the years...

Cleveland announced its name on the wedge stage with its Classic Tour Forged in 1983. The wedge was traditionally forged of mild carbon steel and provided consistent distance, a four-way cambered sole for forgiveness and positive bounce.

A year later, Cleveland unveiled its muscle back Classic PW and SW to generate concentrated power behind the ball. The wedge also featured a simple, four-way bounce and tapper tipped shafts for greater head feel.

In 1985, Cleveland pushed the boundaries in wedge design further with its 485 Tour Action mild carbon steel wedge - once again with the sole aim of providing the most consistent distance.

The wedge encompassed a solid back design for superior ball manoeuvrability and a rounded leading edge to enhance a shallow entry.

But three years later, Cleveland would set the industry benchmark for classic wedges when launching the famous 588 Tour Action, featuring U-shaped grooves that allowed the golfer to produce higher ball flights and greater spin than ever before.

Made from 8620 soft carbon steel, the Tour-proven wedges were also created with a traditional shape that promoted great feel and touch around the greens, as well as a large face area and high toe profile.

Much of its success can be attributed to the V Sole, which narrowed towards the heel to provide needed bounce on full shots and added versatility around the green.

One year after showcasing the 588 to the world, the brand decided to enhance its range further with Gun Metal 588, TA 588 Perimeter and 588 Tour Action BeCu wedges, which were made of Beryllium Copper and featured the classic 588 shape.

Meet Moscow’s Take On The Twisting Tower: Evolution Tower

Evolution Tower is a twisting 255 meter tall skyscraper located in ‘Moscow City’, Moscow, an initiative by the Russian government to create a new business district on an old industrial site. The twisting tower provides approximately 85,000 m² of retail and leisure facilities and 85,000 m² of offices and public functions. It is the twelfth tallest building in Russia and the 20 th tallest in Europe.

 The dramatic form of the tower was designed by architects RMJM in collaboration with Scottish artist Karen Forbes. The double helix DNA inspired form has become an iconic landmark in the Moscow skyline, as the city has never been known for its skyscrapers or architectural identity. The form is also reminiscent of two ribbons wrapping around each other. Each of the 51 floors of the tower is rotated 3 degrees relative to the previous one, so the building is “swirled” by more than 150 degrees. In this way, the central core and eight columns with 15-meter spans between the axes remain strictly vertical all the way up. The spiral geometry is repeated only by four corners of the building. The top of the tower is crowned with two asymmetric “arches” spanning 41 m, visually uniting the two opposite facades.

The facade of the tower boasts a near complete covering of LED lights, this media façade is the largest in all of Asia. The scale and the form of the building made the installation and management of the LED system quite a challenge, thus the building also boasts one of the most sophisticated lighting management and control systems on the planet.

The plot covers an area of 2.55 hectares, of which most are landscaped into a terrace while the rest is used for the tower. The tower and the terrace are built on a three-level stylobate designated the Evolution Gallery with an area of 28,000 square metres (300,000 sq ft). There are exits from the tower that lead directly to the nearby metro station. This podium features a shopping mall and the roof is landscaped to provide additional space for users to unwind in the midst of fountains, terraces and cafes, thus providing a strong connection with the larger urban sphere.
