technology and plenty of options. and 62°.
It’s USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is that the CG
(Center of Gravity) is just 1.4mm from the center
of the face and also a little higher positioned. This
results in more shots hitting that sweet spot, leading
to better feel and feedback, right alongside a lot more
spin and distance control consistency as well.
The RTX ZipCore wedge is both radically new and
ultra-familiar. Its new core has unlocked design
freedoms pushing the performance beyond any wedge
in Cleveland Golf’s history. Yet, the RTX ZipCore
maintains that sleek, yet traditional design that is
familiar and inspires confidence at address.
ZipCore features an aluminum-silicate compound.
This compound is not a metal, but rather an
engineered compound that has a low-density (about
4-times lower than steel) and an extremely high
melting point. It’s located within the lower hosel and
heel area of the clubhead.
Cleveland’s design team removed the heavy, stainless
steel at the heart of the new RTX ZipCore wedge and

replaced it with a very lightweight core instead.
Each groove is closer (7.4%) so there’s two more
grooves per face. The grooves are also deeper (7.4%)
