Cleveland RTZ 2 wedges draw attention on grind options
A GOLF writer says three grinds in Cleveland's new RTZ 2 wedge lineup have him eager to test, and one stands out most.
Cleveland's new RTZ 2 wedges have made a splash on the market, and the grind options are getting early attention. Per the Golf.com report, the writer has singled out three grinds he is excited to test, with one in particular earning its own breakdown. Read the full report.
Grind is the sole shape of a wedge. It controls how the club moves through turf and how the leading edge sits when the face is opened. For most golfers it matters as much as loft or bounce number. A lineup with several grinds gives players a real choice, and a breakdown of those options is useful before a purchase.
Grind choice can matter as much as loft.
The report is a preview of testing, not a verdict. The description does not include performance data, and GNN will not guess at specifics the source has not shared. What it does show is where the early interest sits. When a reviewer narrows a full lineup to three grinds, that tells buyers where to start.
Watch for the hands-on results. Spin numbers, turf interaction and feel from different lies will show whether the grinds deliver on the early curiosity. Golfers shopping for wedges should also try the grinds in person, since sole design depends heavily on swing type and course conditions.
