Spin is generated by friction. The more friction there is between the ball and the clubface at impact, the more the ball spins. Having cleaner contact and a rougher surface on a wedge clubface increase friction. The Rotex Face on Cleveland Golf's new 588 RTX wedges has three technologies that promote cleaner contact and add surface roughness. Cleveland Golf's proprietary Laser Milled technology increases surface roughness with four perfectly calibrated texture lines milled between each groove. But this only adds roughness in a uniform pattern, as shown in the graph above: The new 588 RTX wedges feature the new Rotex Face Pattern, a 3-inch circular pattern that is CNC milled across the entire clubface. By itself, it also increases surface roughness: When combined, the Rotex Face Pattern and Laser Milled technology create more surface roughness than any Cleveland Golf wedge ever: This unprecedented combination of surface roughness technology provides more friction, helping generate more spin in the widest variety of conditions

Features

• 16% LARGER GROOVES - Developed closely with tour players, these U-Grooves are more precise and 16% larger to maximize spin on critical scoring shots - especially out of the rough, sand and in wet conditions
• ROUGHER, MORE DURABLE LASER MILLING - Advanced surface roughness technology is now more durable and dimensionally optimized for even more friction at impact. This helps generate even more spin on chips, pitches and partial shots from any lie
• ROTEX PATTERN - Directionally milled face pattern adds roughness and imparts maximum spin on open-face wedge shots where impact tends to be closer to the toe
• WEDGE CAVITY BACK - Undercut cavity promotes perimeter weighting for more forgiveness on off-center hits
• REVERSE C SOLE - Inspired by Cleveland Golf's popular CG14 and CG16 wedges. Wide, constant-width sole combined with heel and toe grinds improves performance from bunkers and deep rough
• Loft
