Some names become synonymous with an entire category of golf equipment, and few carry more weight in the world of wedges than Roger Cleveland.

Nearly 50 years after introducing the iconic 588 Tour Action Wedge, Roger Cleveland has returned to help shape the next generation of Cleveland wedges. The result is the new Cleveland RTZ 2, a lineup that combines decades of wedge design experience with modern technologies aimed at delivering more consistent spin, improved turf interaction and greater short-game versatility.

Available at Worldwide Golf, the RTZ 2 family offers multiple sole grinds, three finishes and the latest short-game technologies, giving golfers more options to find a wedge that fits the way they play.

Roger Cleveland Helps Shape the Next Generation

Roger Cleveland’s influence can be found in countless wedges played by golfers of every skill level, and his fingerprints are all over the RTZ 2 lineup.

Working alongside Cleveland Golf engineers and tour players, he helped revisit every sole grind while refining the shaping and turf interaction throughout the lineup. One of the biggest highlights is the return of the legendary 588 Grind, bringing back the versatile sole design that helped make the original 588 one of the most celebrated wedges in golf history.

Designed for golfers with moderate to shallower attack angles, the 588 Grind offers the versatility needed for everything from full swings to delicate shots around the green.

Five Sole Grinds Fit Different Swing Styles

Rather than building one wedge for every golfer, Cleveland designed the RTZ 2 lineup with five distinct sole grinds.

The versatile MID Grind fits the widest range of players, while the FULL Grind offers added forgiveness from softer turf, rough and bunkers. Golfers who play firmer conditions can choose the LOW Grind for increased versatility around the greens, while the ADAPT Full-Face Grind provides additional confidence on open-face shots.

Together with the returning 588 Grind, the RTZ 2 family gives golfers more fitting options than any previous Cleveland wedge lineup.

New Z-Alloy Material Improves Feel and Durability

At the heart of every RTZ 2 wedge is Cleveland Golf’s second-generation Z-Alloy, a proprietary steel developed specifically for wedge construction.

The material is engineered to produce a softer feel at impact while maintaining the durability needed to deliver consistent performance round after round. Paired with Cleveland’s latest manufacturing techniques, Z-Alloy helps create the responsive feel golfers expect from a premium scoring club.

New ZipCore iQ Delivers More Consistent Performance

One of the biggest advancements in RTZ 2 is ZipCore iQ technology.

Instead of using the same internal construction throughout the lineup, Cleveland engineers optimized the hosel core for each loft and grind combination. By repositioning mass based on how each wedge is designed to be used, RTZ 2 promotes tighter dispersion, improved distance consistency and more predictable performance across a wider range of shots.

For golfers, that means greater confidence whether facing a full approach, a pitch shot or a delicate chip around the green.

Spin Technology Designed for Every Condition

RTZ 2 combines several of Cleveland Golf’s proven spin technologies into one wedge family.

HydraZip uses loft-specific face blasting and laser-milled lines to help preserve spin in wet conditions. UltiZip grooves feature sharper, deeper groove geometry to generate consistent spin from the fairway, rough and bunkers, while Rotex Milling adds additional face texture for reliable stopping power.

Together, these technologies help golfers produce consistent spin regardless of course conditions.

Tour-Inspired Options for Every Short Game

Along with five sole grind options, Cleveland offers the wedges in Satin, Black and Tour Rack finishes to suit different preferences.

Golfers who like to open the clubface around the greens should also consider the RTZ 2 Full Face models. By extending the grooves across the entire face, these wedges provide more consistent spin and control on shots struck toward the toe, making them especially useful for flop shots, open-face bunker shots and other creative greenside plays.

Whether you choose a standard RTZ 2 Wedge or a Full Face model, the lineup offers a wide range of loft, grind and finish combinations to help golfers find a wedge that fits the way they play.

Find the Right RTZ 2 Wedge for Your Game

Whether you’re replacing a single wedge or rebuilding your entire short-game setup, the Cleveland RTZ 2 lineup offers more options than ever before. With Roger Cleveland once again helping shape the design process, RTZ 2 blends one of golf’s most respected wedge legacies with technologies built for today’s players.
