Cleveland RTZ 2 Wedges Offer Three Distinct Grind Options

Cleveland Golf's RTZ 2 wedge lineup includes three separate grind options — Adapt, Mid and 588 — each built around a different combination of sole width, bounce and relief, giving fitters and golfers distinct choices depending on turf conditions and shot preference.

What makes the Adapt grind different?

The Adapt carries a stated bounce angle of 8 degrees, along with a leading-edge bounce chamfer and aggressive toe and heel relief designed to keep the blade from digging into the turf. Cleveland also removed material from the trailing edge to help the club exit the ground cleanly. It is a full-face design, meaning grooves extend across the entire face for shots played well open, such as flop shots near the green.

How does the 588 grind compare?

The 588 grind, marketed as "Roger's Return," matches the Adapt's 8-degree bounce number but sits its leading edge tighter to the turf. It carries increased toe bounce and decreased heel bounce, along with a wider sole and smoother edges than the Adapt, a combination built for players who want to open the face and add bounce without losing stability through impact.

Who is the Mid grind built for?

The Mid grind uses a v-sole shape geared toward players who primarily hit square-face shots. It is designed for full swings and bunker play rather than the more open, shot-making looks the Adapt and 588 grinds are built to handle. Players testing the lineup have generally found the Mid easiest to control on standard full-swing shots and out of sand.
