Technology
Cleveland RTX 6 Zipcore wedges have more Zipcore material than ever before. The proprietary, low-density core technology has exponentially evolved for RTX 6 ZipCore, with up to 95% more ZipCore material. By setting the center of gravity right where you strike the ball, plus increasing MOI by up to 20%, this new generation offers players increased spin, distance, consistency, feel, and control on every shot.
A new, dynamic HydroZip blast and laser-milled line system creates roughness to enhance friction to maximize spin in any conditions and from anywhere around the green. Visually, RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge faces are more matte than the last generation, reducing glare at address and standing out more from the hosel and toe.
UltiZip grooves are sharper, deeper, and closer together to maximize spin. Sharper grooves cut through grass and debris so you get clean contact on the ball shot after shot. By making them deeper, things like sand, dirt, and water are channeled away from the face. Finally, with the grooves closer together, they squeezed two more grooves onto each clubface for maximum bite on the ball.
Who It’s For
Cleveland’s RTX 6 Zipcore wedges are a Tour-driven wedge made to fit the preferences of the most discerning golfers on the course. They are blade wedges designed for skilled players while also featuring the forgiveness of a cavity-back design. Every golfer can benefit from the increased spin and control in the Zipcore wedges, and better golfers will be able to take advantage of that control and manipulate their shots around the green.
Appearance
Cleveland’s RTX 6 Zipcore wedges are a classic-looking blade wedge in the style that fits the RTX lineup. The Tour Satin finish provides a high-performance look at address. You also notice the secondary milling pattern that provides confidence to let you know you are getting the most spin on every shot.
Feel & Sound
The Cleveland RTX 6 Zipcore wedges feel solid on every shot. With the redistributed weight and realigned center of gravity, every shot feels effective. Our tester noted that when using other wedges, even if he hit a shot in the center of the clubface, it had a tendency to feel like he hit it a little out toward the toe. When you make solid contact, the Zipcore wedges both feel and sound like a well-struck wedge shot should.
