In this video I will be reviewing the Cleveland RXT ZIPCORE wedges.
Over the years Cleveland have made some fantastic wedges which many players of all abilities have put their trust into.
We have been given access to review the new wedges by Cleveland and we will be setting up a challenge between myself ( Dan Hendriksen PGA Pro) Lester Barnes (Scratch Handicap) & Lee Whittaker (9 Handicap) .

Nice review Dan. Lester looked a bit bored the whole way through this little challenge. Ha ha.
I recently changed to Cleveland CBX2 wedges and I love them! Transformed my confidence with wedge play... I'm 13 handicap
Totally agreed. Started golf about a year ago, changed to a CBX2 (50) and CBX (56, full-face) from first purchase 2nd hand bladed wedges, helped my game a lot.
Dan the Zip Core wedge is the best wedge I’ve tested and my favorite wedges I’ve seen in a while. They are in my bag!
A much better review format than other channels... With some "normal" golfer input (yes, I class Lee as normal).
I seem to remember a rather handsome fan of the channel making this format suggestion 😉
Excellent review.. very detailed and exactly what i was looking for 👏🏻
I’ve never had so much spin. I used the 58 from 80 yards and it spins back 10 feet every time. Ridiculously good.
You said it Dan... check off all the performance boxes and don’t get hung up on brand. I’ve used primarily Vokey, Callaway and Cleveland over the years. Currently gaming Vokey 50* & 54* and a Callaway PM 58*.
Another good vlog Dan
I'm playing the original CBX and could not be happier. Plenty of spin and forgiving. Good review.
I totally get what you mean, Dan, when you say very Clevelandy. They do have a certain look. Really clever of them to put together a demo fitting pack. Mean Dan wouldn't let Lee's lob shot take the nearest the pin honours. Great review vid again fellas 👌
Great review again guys. I'm still playing rtx3, looking at changing to be wedges soon though!
I would love to see a video with a more in depth look at how bounce changes the way a wedge performes from bunkers, heavy rough, tight lies, etc. I think the 3 of you with different abilities and preferences would help shed some light on the subject - just an idea. Cheers again lads
Great review Dan...thanks. I’m looking for a new 50 degree wedge and the Cleveland ZipCore is definitely in the mix. I have a Cleveland 56 degree full face wedge in the bag now...really like it 😎⛳️
agree with the straight lead edge, gives impression of digging in, excellent review guys
Excellent review! I’ve always used Cleveland wedges and just bought these clubs in a AW-50M, SW-54F & LW-58L. Watching your review confirms my thoughts relating bounce for every different shot situation. Hoping this set-up works for me out on the course.
I agree with what lee said if it wasn’t for data most of us wouldn’t know any better I also agree with dan like a lot of things in golf it comes down to personal preference cos everybody is different in the way they play and their choices great review again from the 3 of you
I tried the Zipcore wedges on a recent Cleveland fitting day and found them to be high performing, quality offerings -pretty much what you would expect from a manufacturer known specifically for these clubs. TBH I didn't notice a whole lot of difference from the RTX4s I already own, but if I was in the market I would definitely be thinking about them. On the day the wedges that surprised me most were the CBX2 line. Not the best looking clubs ever but really easy to play and with grin-inducing amounts of spin. I joked to the fitter that they could put golf ranges out of business if the back spin was any greater.
I found this very interesting dan as I have just been fitted for these wedges and should have received them if boris hadn’t grounded us all again🤣. So after watching this I can’t wait for Wednesday 🏌️♂️👍
Nice an after some news ones . Ps I enjoyed your interview on golf nutts channel last night . Really interesting stuff 👍👍👍⛳️⛳️⛳️
One of the main reasons I bought these wedges, was because of the straight leading edge. I love that.
Also, their bounce and grind options are excellent. Very simple yet very functional if you choose wisely. You don’t necessarily need all 4 million of vokeys options....
I never had Cleveland wedges before, but very impressed with these.
Great feel and response. I have zero complaints thus far after a few months of use.
Interesting video,
As a novice golfer it reaffirms the need to get fitted for any club you purchase!
great looking wedge
i got a 52 mid bounce yesterday and loved it , it went so well i never had really thought about clevand wedges before ,
It’s all about the scoring zone. It’s where high handicap players need most help. Therefore wedges are the place to go.
V. Good review. I use 56 and 50 vokey. I can open up or shut down the 56 to play lots of different shots. Cleveland used to be leader in the wedge market. And the look good. But I am sticking with my vokeys
Ok Dan .see you in the morning 👍👍👍
I agree with you, these days the top brands are all excellent, its more about what 'feels' good for you
My first ever new clubs were rtx3 in 52 and 56 and rtx4 in 60. Completely changed my short game for the better and I’ll always have a soft spot for them.
Great review
Great review guys, well done 👏.... I’m really not a fan of the thick top edges on these weighted wedges ... please do more of these format reviews.. 😉🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
Entertaining format but would be more interesting to explore exactly how much mid-handicappers are helped or hindered by having so many wedges to pick from.
The OEM have had a good chuckle reducing iron sets to 5/6 iron to pitching wedge which with current strong lofts is the equivalent of old school 4/5 iron to 9-iron thereby creating massive gaps at top and bottom of the bag in order to sell more wedges and hybrids,realistically I don't see many club golfers improve by carrying three wedges.
Seve and Faldo only carried a sand wedge in addition to a set wedge,they were not bad were they?
The only way most golfers today will ever acquire 'soft Spanish hands' is by eating hot paella with their fingers .....
Just going to close my eyes and hope. That's why we love Lester 😂😂😂. When are manufacturers going to consider wedges for the kackhanded short gamers 😉
Nice review , Will you be doing the new Mizuno wedges . They look very different.
Got a couple of real top class wedge specialists in eh Dan?? Hahahahahahahahahha!!!! Anyway at least we have the Sunday show tomorrow eh!! pmsl
Only ever played Cleveland wedges and the ZIPCORE are certainly on the list.
I play a West Cornwall GC a links course with some deep pot bunkers, i ground my 60 deg 588 RTX Cleveland wedge to negative bounce and its an absolute wand in bunkers now, I also have the 56 and 52 in the same 588 the 56has been bent to 55deg and the 52 to 50deg for gapping in my set up, the 50deg has also been ground to low bounce not as low as the 60 though. The low bounce helps on our tight fairways.
I have Cleveland RTX 3s in 52° & 60° as well as a Nike 56°... love them all, great wedges. Won’t be swapping them out until they’re well & truly worn out.
Great review! You should review Bettinardi HLX 3.0 wedges. They are incredible. Worlds different than any other I’ve tried. Really soft and for me plays nicer than other forged wedges.
I play with my old Cleveland 588 and 900.
The first one☝️ and i ❤ these.
3 different color
51/7 588 raw
56/14 900 bronze
60/3 588 gun metal
For me, the best Wedges.
No found any one, with the same look(size).
The grooves over the years 🙈
Specialy on the 900...very Soft metal.
Flop-shot with the 60/3...😁👍
and i play mostly with this in the bunker☝️
Greetings from germany 🎅
Interesting review. I much prefer wedges that look square to the ground. I've always been a Cleveland wedge player, had a fitting in the season and hated the rtx 4. Ping came out on top but then heard about zipcore definitely something i need to try. No idea what bounce i need though
Enjoyed the review, I think there’s a real lack of fitting options for wedges, your lucky if you can try one let alone all the bounce and grind options.
danny! hit that 50 with a full swing. i picked up a zipcore because an old cleveland 56 is my miracle club so i thought id try it out... did not buy it for any other reason. when i hit full shots with it, i noticed a great feel which i guess is the zipcore. give the 50 a full shot, i think youll feel that zip core then.
Had vokeys, looked good but found them heavish and didn't gel with them! Move to older clevelands, looked good, liked them better. Tried rotex versions now have 46 and 50 in Rotex 3. Find them incredibly stable for long shots and half shots. But have an older Rotex 54 which FEELS so much better swingweight for finesse shots. And Lastly a 58 Callaway Mac Daddy which feels so good and like a surgeons scalpel. Feel is more important to me than spin stats.
Love my Cleveland cbx wedges as good as anything out there
thx guys, great review. 50, 54, 58
I have 3 a GW,SW and a 60 degree. All Mizuno wedges. Plenty of spin and feel.
Use the 60 on links courses off tight les.
This time of the year my SW my go to wedge on non links courses.
Ive been lovin my zipcore not sure if ita the fresh grooves or what but man alive ive got more spin and control with this wedge than any i have ever played. Had em a month and have put 6 in the hole with it one from 110 for eagle on a par 4 couple from 30 to 40 yards and 3 from within ten the green love love lovin it
Have played Titleist, Callaway, Taylormade and will say they are all good but I will stay with my Cleveland wedges the feel is more to my liking, cheers !
Over the years I have had cleveland and pings but in the last three years after a fitting I changed to the vokeys which I far preferred to the previous ones though my game has improved considerably since. In the 58 for example the 58 with a 04 bounce has worked best and is my all round wedge- sand, lobs, 80 yard full shots rough etc. (with a graphite shaft to match my irons) wearing down now so am looking around for a potential replacement and as a leftie - my shortlist is the Ben hogan equalizer 2, sm8 and possibly the pxg forged as my irons now are the pxg gen 3 - latter advantage is also the shaft can be the same. As my gap wedge is a 50 don’t find I need more than the 58 or possibly switch to a 56. One thing I recommend is that it is actually quite useful for reasons of course conditions to look at the same wedge with different bounce so maybe the sm8/12; Ben hogan is an 8; the pxg is a 10.
If it looks anything like the 588, then I will love it
Lester could do left handed wedge reviews😁
Just curious to hear what ball you were using and did all of you use the same type. Next stage would be to see the difference changing the call might make when combined with different wedges
Cleveland CBX are ideal for Recreational & Club Golfers
I've been to Cleveland, no virgins there!!! Good news Lester.
Now that’s a proper review different shots different distances no real need for data because let’s be fair most of the top wedges Vokey, Callaway, Taylormade, etc will produce similar spin rates so it comes down to personal preference, I’ve had many wedges in my time but Vokey is the one for me especially Current models which look great and feel great much better then the 7 which I just didn’t like the look of so I didn’t change until the latest model came out.
Hang on Lester you’ve never tried a Cleveland 🤔 have you not tried the 48degree wedge I sent you? I know the glove I sent is probably a bit big for you but I would of thought you would have tried the wedge out as you were missing your 48 degree wedge in a previous video.
Anyway never mind good video lads I like the way you review clubs and it’s not all data it’s actually better when you can test outside. 👍👍
Currently gamin a 52 zipcore and love it for me its gettin alot more spin like im gettin more spin out of the 52 zipcore than my 56 2019 pm grind. Even tho the zip is new and fresher idk that i got more spin when the pm was new. Holed out an eagle on a par 4 2nd time out with the zipcore so needless to say im def lovin it
I use Wishon Wedges 52 & 56 No matter where i play them from ( front foot or back foot ) i get far more height than any wedge I have seen you guys use. Now this can be from just off the green or from 40 yards out the spin and stop is amazing with the Wishon. Maybe you guys can do a review on them???
Good Review, when is Lee going to change to these.
For me personally it’s also about feel with wedges around the green, current sm7s , 58 o4 and l grind , 52 o8 f grind and 48 10 and f grind , just prefer the feel
I have the rtx3 in 50,54and 58 . My 50 was my go to but now it's the 54 . I would definitely buy Cleveland again but I do like the look of the ping glide too ? .
i;m using cleveland irons 5 to pw cleveland uhx and cleveland cbx2 gap/sand wedge i;m getting them out of the sand a lot better than my old wedge giving me more confidence
Cbx’s with bounce for summer but just added a low bounce 60 one of these for hard winter bunkers & winter flops 👍👍👍👍👍👍
My 60 deg wedge is a Cleveland cg15 with 8 deg of bounce I use it mainly in our bunkers as there's not much sand in them depth wise .
I’ve been playing a pm grind wedge for a couple years and got a Cleveland cbx full face. My pm grind is getting worn down and doesn’t check much anymore but is extremely playable from almost any lie. The cbx has way more effective bounce and the hard packed sand makes it almost impossible to lay the face open and still get underneath the ball unless you strike it perfect. I don’t. The Cleveland wedge does have more noticeable spin, my shots don’t run out nearly as much. I also struggle to feel the strike and get feedback from the Cleveland, almost every shot feels the same. I’m still trying the Cleveland but have kept the pm grind in the bag so far. Just wish the full face had less bounce really.
Lee won the last challenge - as he got 2 shots off Lester and Dan only got one.. Cleveland wedges are always square on the face, but they always look very nice, would love to have a go with these beauties'
I have a set of irons that have 4-aw. Got a nike 60 degree with 7 bounce for lob and bunkers shot. I have never owned any other wedges except for the 60. I use my 60 for everything except driving.
Off topic, but in reference to you 7 wood video, I tried it today, and much straighter, so I guess the hybrid is going to get consigned to the back of the garage.
😂
Only Cleveland wedges I owned were the old BeCu 588 SW & LW.
Cleveland and Vokey 👍🏻
I am thinking that maybe a straighter bottom line would be beneficial for the handicap golfer. If the ball is struck nearer the toe then surely if the toe was more rounded the impact point would be on the bottom groove rather than higher up the face if in this case the bottom line is more square. Hope this makes sense.
just bought Cleveland wedges 50,54 58 old rtx love them. Lester likes his virgins first Bowood i think ,now Cleveland wedges what next?
How about playing some 3/4 to full shots from fairway? Surely part of fitting decision?
Three words.....Soft Spanish hands 🤣 🤣 🤣 Another three..... excellent work gents.
After watching this I need to get a low bounce wedge
What are these wedges like?
I don't really feel like there's any difference between between these and any other wedge on the market but I'd definitely put Cleveland wedges at the top of my list.
I just got a set of RTX 4'S, they sure are small compared to my 20 year old Cobra wedges
How about the modus shaft in this wedge is it nice ?
Dan is so much better without crossfields constant cackling
Yes i second that mate👍🏾
I sort don’t get all the fussing over wedges irons etc looks, feel, shape. I find it doesn’t really matter, put a good swing on it and they pretty much all work the same.
Lester doesn't look like he enjoys the cold weather 🙈🙈
These two guys in the beginning are dead beat downers man. Cheer up and have a more positive out look on life fellas. Life is good, learn to enjoy it. Oh yeah btw, your allowed to at least act excited about the wedges your about to try for the first time. You guys need more energy and a ton of personality.
Low hits on wedges is what you want to get more spin.
Mack daddy always
He is gripping cow handeded , Texas term
Left below right chipping 😮
I thought zipcore was about moi, moving weight out of heel, and then into toe, rtx is obviously the milled face
Can't beat a Cleveland imo used em from the original reg 588's.
I love cleveland wedges but over the last 6 years with the RTX model they are simply re-inventing the wheel and applying a new gloss
“That didn’t grip anything like”… he landed on the upslope.. Derrr
Lester looked a little bored today, but when you're a short game specialist this could be a little mundane.... I have and will again play Cleveland wedges 👍
Are you getting paid more, cos their seems to be more adverts with every video 😳😳
It’s google not me 🤯
Cross handed? That might be the worst way to achieve feel with a wedge. lol
The wedges themselves are very good.
Thanks
