Cleveland Golf’s new RTX 6 ZipCore wedges are hitting the market in the coming weeks, and they may be what you need to revolutionize your short game.

Over the past few years, OEMs have come to the market with a variety of new technologies that are geared toward increasing spin, forgiveness, and greenside control for the average player. Of course, we amateurs can use all the help we can get on and around the greens, so the advances in player technology have only benefitted the high handicapper.

 

However, Cleveland aims to push the envelope even more with a few new additions to the 2023 wedges they will bring to the market. The RTX 6 ZipCore wedges are geared toward a classic look with state-of-the-art technologies and improvements.

Cleveland said in a press release that, with the new wedges, high spin shots will be available from nearly any lie, even in higher grass or less tight lies.

Pat Ripp, Tour Engineering Manager of R&D for Cleveland Golf, said:

“The RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge may have the classic look on the outside, but inside it’s packed with three technological breakthroughs that give the advantage to the golfer and not the condition.”

The RTX 6 ZipCore has three main innovations that are new to this lineup of wedges: HydraZip, ZipCore, and UltiZip.

  • HydraZip: A dynamic blast and laser-milled line system creating roughness to
    enhance friction—maximizing spin in any conditions from anywhere around the
    green.
  • ZipCore: The proprietary, low-density core technology offering players increased
    spin, distance, consistency, feel, and control.
  • UltiZip: Features grooves that are sharper, deeper, and tightly spaced, allowing
    the club to slice through debris and bite harder for enhanced spin and control

Additionally, a variety of new Sole Grinds will offer players of all levels preferences to match their game:

  • LOW: Available in 58-60 degrees
  • LOW+: Available in 54-56 degrees
  • MID: Available in 46-60 degrees
  • FULL: Available in 54-60 degrees

LOW+ is new for this year and is featured on sand wedge lofts, Cleveland detailed.

Available: January 20, 2023

Price: $169.99
