Cleveland’s Most Authentic Tour Wedge
The RTX 4 made-for-tour wedge
According to Cleveland, the new RTX 4 is a paradigm shift or a total transformation of their tour wedge philosophy. Every stage of its development is fundamentally different from their blade wedges made since 1979. The RTX 4 is a fusion of Cleveland’s latest face technologies, tour-preferred shaping, expanded grind offerings, and the most popular components used by Tour professionals, hence RTX 4 is their most tour-authentic wedge of all time.
They say, “We've held nothing back during development, creating a made-for-tour wedge in its purest form. Utilising the latest face technologies, tour-preferred shaping, expanded grind offerings and the most popular components used by tour pros, every stage of its development is fundamentally different from the blade wedges we’ve made since 1979.”
“We spared no expense in trying to achieve the best possible wedge for the best players in the world, and then bring that wedge right to the consumer,” added John Rae, Vice President at Cleveland Golf. “We worked tirelessly with our tour staff to refine every detail of the wedge and its shape to fit their needs.”
More spin
Following years of R&D, involving millions of data points, the tolerances in the RTX 4 have been tightened more than ever. With the sharpest Tour Zip grooves yet, the most aggressive face milling and even more precise laser milling, the latest Rotex 4 face generates more spin, giving maximum short game control.
More versatility
Following extensive tour player testing, RTX 4 has less offset and a smaller overall profile to provide that classic blade design better players prefer. There are also four new sole grinds including an all-new Xlow grind, to provide the versatility to execute the most challenging greenside shots.
More options
There are more loft/bounce options than ever with the RTX 4 to give golfers more playability and versatility. Four new sole grinds are - Full: The traditional mid-bounce for crisp pitch shots and solid full-shot performance; Mid: This V-shaped Sole cuts smoothly through turf and its trailing edge relief keeps the leading edge low on openfaced shots; Low: A C-shape provides heel and toe relief for ultimate versatility from any lie; Xlow: Perfect for tight lies and hitting shots with an extremely open face.
Following extensive tour feedback, RTX 4 features a more compact blade shape, with less offset and a smaller overall profile to provide that classic blade design that tour players prefer. Additionally, RTX 4 offers four new sole grinds, including an all-new XLOW grind, to provide the versatility to execute the most challenging greenside shots.
