We were excited to head down to Trump International Golf Club, Dubai to see if all the hype surrounding the new Cleveland RTX 4 wedges is justified. Cleveland believe it’s the ‘most tour-authentic’ wedge they’ve ever made and designed to suit better players. Wedge performance always starts with the face and the grooves in this iron allow you to produce ultimate spin and feel – just what all lower handicap golfers seek from their wedges. eGolf Megastore’s Custom-Fit Specialist, Regardt van Rooyen, tested out the product and gave us the lowdown on these remarkable wedges.
“When I address this wedge, I have so much confidence because of its low amount of offset,” says Van Rooyen. “It’s extremely easy to shape in either direction and has so much of the workability that every golfer desires in their short game. The grinds are an important element of a wedge and with the RTX 4s, Cleveland has focused heavily on this as well as the bounce, which is a key reason they are making such an impact. There are four different types of grinds available to help you execute the most demanding shots when around the greens and a variety of lofts varying from 46∞ to 64∞. When hitting these for the first time, I immediately noticed how quick the ball checked when it bounced and was startled by the amount of control I had due to the spin. With the options of a premium Tour Satin finish or Black finish, the RTX 4 has both the look and performance all avid golfers demand.”

Technology
4th GENERATION ROTEX FACE TECHNOLOGY 
With their sharpest Tour Zip Grooves yet, the most aggressive face milling they’ve developed, and even more precise laser milling, Rotex 4 generates more spin, and more consistent spin, giving you maximum short game control.
PROGRESSIVE FEEL BALANCING TECHNOLOGY
New muscle shaping on the back of each loft progressively adjusts the centre of gravity on both the vertical and horizontal axes, enhancing feel and distance control, even when you don’t strike the face centre.
PROGRESSIVE SHAPING
RTX 4’s compact shape is a direct result of tour player feedback. Lower lofts blend with your irons for an easier transition, while higher lofts feature a traditional wedge shape for better greenside shots.

Ernie Els – 4-time Major champion |
 “The ball felt like a marshmallow. You can feel the spin on the face.”
Russell Knox – Two-time European Tour winner |
 “It’s really nice because it’s got that soft feel. I’m not really moving a lot of grass so I can tell how effective the bounce is working for me.”
