Cleveland RTZ 2 Tour Rack Wedge

FAQs

1. Q: Who should play the Cleveland RTZ Tour Rack Raw Wedge?
   A: The Cleveland RTZ Tour Rack raw wedge is recommended for elite golfers, tour professionals, and serious committed players who value soft feel, predictable spin, and shot-making versatility. It suits golfers who prefer a tour-grade blade profile with modern performance technology.
2. Q: What makes the RTZ Tour Rack feel softer than previous Cleveland wedges?
   A: Z-Alloy is a brand-new steel formula that is softer and less dense than traditional 8620 steel. Cleveland's testing confirms RTZ is 10% softer than RTX 6 ZipCore wedges, using Vickers hardness measurement, delivering superior feel and responsiveness.
3. Q: What are the advantages of the Tour Rack raw finish?
   A: The Tour Rack raw finish reduces glare, improves spin performance, and features Z-Alloy's unique rust-resistant properties. Unlike conventional raw wedges, RTZ grooves wear 87% slower, preserving spin retention and groove geometry for longer-lasting performance.
4. Q: How does HydraZip technology improve spin in wet conditions?
   A: HydraZip is a system of face blasts and laser-milled lines dynamically configured by loft grouping to maximize spin performance under wet conditions. This loft-specific approach helps balance spin across all club selections while improving consistency in adverse weather.
5. Q: Which sole grind should I choose for my game?
   A: The Mid grind is the most versatile all-around option for neutral attack angles and average divot sizes. The Full grind offers more bounce for steeper swings and soft turf. The Low grind suits shallower attack angles and firm conditions. The ADAPT grind features full-face grooves and a higher-toe profile for open-faced finesse shots.
6. Q: What is the benefit of ZipCore technology in the RTZ?
   A: ZipCore replaces heavier material in the heel and hosel with lightweight, low-density, vibration-dampening material that shifts the center of gravity closer to the strike zone. This improves MOI and consistency while maintaining a classic blade profile for shot-making control.
7. Q: What is the ADAPT grind and who should use it?
   A: The ADAPT grind features a higher-toe profile, full-face groove coverage, and relief on the heel and trailing edge. It is designed for golfers who want exceptional versatility and greenside precision, especially for open-faced finesse shots and creative short-game play.
8. Q: How do UltiZip grooves improve performance?
   A: UltiZip grooves are sharper and deeper than traditional groove designs. They cut through grass and debris at contact while creating space for foreign material to clear the impact zone, ensuring more consistent spin from fairway, rough, and bunker lies.
9. Q: Can the RTZ Tour Rack improve my full-swing wedge shots?
   A: Yes. The stable head design, ZipCore technology, and centered CG help produce more repeatable launch and carry distances on full wedge swings, improving both accuracy and distance control compared to traditional blade wedges.
10. Q: Can Fairway Golf USA custom fit me for Cleveland RTZ wedges?
    A: Yes. Fairway Golf USA offers professional custom fitting services to help determine the best loft progression, bounce, sole grind, shaft weight, flex, length, lie angle, and grip for your swing and scoring needs.
