Roger Cleveland: "A 60-degree wedge is useless if you're old!"
How many wedges should you carry? Callaway wedge guru reveals all.
From the Tour professionals to the weekend hackers, it seems everyone is carrying more wedges these days - and rightly so - approximately 70% of this beautiful, yet finnicky game is played from within 100 yards.
But how many wedges should we really be using? GolfMagic caught up with Callaway wedge maker and short-game guru Roger Cleveland to get his take on a player's wedge setup.
"Five or six wedges is enough," joked Cleveland.
"No, it really depends on the level of skill and what the player wants to do. Three wedges is fine, but I use four to really identify distances better. You have a better chance of getting the ball on the green when you have proper gapping in your wedges."
"If you're older and not very strong, I would think your most lofted wedge should be 56 degrees," said Cleveland, an icon in golf design.
"If you're a little stronger, you can have either a 58 or a 60. An older person can't really hit the 60 anywhere really, so it's useless.
"The 56, with the proper bounce and proper weight of the shaft, is enough loft to get out of bunkers. When you get older, you need a lighter shaft so you can create more speed. When you're stronger, steel is what you need.
"Whatever you pick for your highest lost, so let's say it's a 60, and you go to your pitching wedge which is 45 these days. That's a gap of 15 degrees, so you need to fill that in with wedges that make sense.
"I like gapping in fives, so I would typically use 45, 50, 55 and 60-degree wedges. If you have a highest wedge of 56, then I would go 45, 50 and 56."
ROGER CLEVELAND: LET BOUNCE BE YOUR FRIEND
In the eyes of Cleveland, a bad workman should never blame their tools, no matter how many wedges are in the bag.
"The fastest way you can improve your score and lower that handicap is to work on your short game," Cleveland tells us.
"The skill and technique and using the wedges properly is where amateurs can quickly improve, on top of enjoying the game more.
GUIDE: 10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT WEDGES
"Take a lesson from a PGA pro. I can't hit it 300 yards any more, but I can have a Tour quality short game with proper technique and equipment. It's all the same equipment the guys use on Tour. It just takes technique, not strength. It's the fastest way for lower scores.
"Jason Day and Jordan Spieth didn't have short games without practising half their practice time on the short game. I know Phil Mickelson has."

This beautifully compact head is unbeatable for feel and performance from short range. Higher handicapper might be scared of the small face that requires a very accurate strike. Cleveland is a real favourite among the professionals and its not hard to see why.

Cleveland has always made impressive looking wedges and this gunmetal head with oilcan finish is certainly one of the best. The head itself looks smart and compact. Aluminium bronze compound has a high copper content to increase responsiveness. From the fairway and around the greens this makes judging shots far easier.

Wonderful Article! tstoto tstoto tstoto tstoto
Wonderful club, I believe this wedges are better than the new products I have tried, played ping for years. The 900's are like a butter knife in your hands.
Customer Service
Very Good, very professional.

Well what can I say. It's my favorite wedge in my bag. It gives me confidence when I look down on the ball.It's very very versatile you can hit it high and land it soft, you can hit low and run it up to the hole, or you can hit it mid. The wedge cuts through just about anything so you won't be worried about soft or hard ground. It's easily my favorite club to chip with. What can I say I love it.
If you buy one of these expecting immediate results, you're going to be disappointed. These wedges take a bit of getting used to because the heads are a little heavier than what you'd normally play, but after a couple weeks, it's well worth it. These things make those 60 yard pitches so simple. They are easy to hit low or high and even work left or right if you want. I have noticed some increased spin, but I'm not pulling it back 30 feet like some of these other reviewers. They definitely stop on a dime though. If you can afford to get one or more of these, they are a great way to save some strokes on the short game.
all of them, vokeys are only comparable club, these are the best
As one guy said. "Butter" I bought it from a guy for $20. Best $20 I spent. Great for the Sand and under 100yds.
This wedge is great... You get great feel, exceptional spin, and great distance control... This wedge should be in everyones bag...!

forgot everything else.
Awesome. bought this wedge rusty for £20 off ebay and found it to be amazing. ive only used it for round and playing 5 under my handicap and I chipped in once off a downhill lie from 30 yards. The feel is great, its good out of bunkers, it gets a lot of spin, is just the right weight and just slides under the ball so easily popping it up high. I found it especially good from just off the green.
titleist vokey,progen gunmetal (neither nearly as good in my opinion)
These wedges are fantastic. I have much more control of spin with the low bounce 60º. The bounce on the 56º is a little different then my previous Cleveland Chrome, and that took a couple days at the practice bunker. But over all greats clubs, highly recomended.
None needed yet

The History of the Cleveland 588 Wedge
Answered by Robert Akin
The Cleveland 588 wedge series is one of the most iconic and beloved golf club series in history. The 588 Tour Action wedge, which debuted in 1988, was the first model in the series and quickly became a favorite among golfers of all skill levels. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the history of the Cleveland 588 wedge series and explore what makes these wedges so special.
The 588 Tour Action wedge was designed by Roger Cleveland, a renowned club designer who founded his own company in 1979. The wedge was made from 8620 soft carbon steel and featured U-shaped grooves that helped increase spin and produce high ball flights. The wedge also had a high toe profile and a large face area that made it easy to hit off a variety of lies.
Over the years, Cleveland Golf continued to refine and improve the 588 wedge series. In 1995, the company released the 588 RTG (Rustic) wedge, which featured a raw finish that would rust over time to create more friction and enhance spin. The 588 RTG wedge was a popular choice among tour players, including Vijay Singh and David Duval.
In 2000, Cleveland Golf introduced the 588 Forged wedge, which was made from soft 1025 carbon steel and featured precision-milled grooves that maximized spin and control. The 588 Forged wedge was a favorite of golfers who valued feel and shot-making ability.
In 2006, Cleveland Golf launched the CG14 wedge, which had conforming grooves that met the new USGA regulations. The CG14 wedge was also the first Cleveland wedge to feature Zip Grooves, which had sharper edges and deeper grooves that increased spin and control.
The Cleveland 588 wedge series continued to evolve, with the introduction of the 588 Precision Forged wedge in 2012 and the 588 RTX wedge in 2013. The 588 Precision Forged wedge was made from soft 1025 carbon steel and featured a tour-inspired shape and milled face that enhanced feel and control. The 588 RTX wedge had a Rotex face that featured a rougher surface and deeper grooves that produced more spin and control, especially on partial shots.
Today, the Cleveland 588 wedge series is still going strong, with the latest model being the 588 Tour Action wedge. This wedge features a cavity back design that offers improved forgiveness on off-center hits, while still maintaining the classic look and feel of the original 588 Tour Action wedge.
The Cleveland 588 wedge series has a rich history that spans over three decades. From the iconic 588 Tour Action wedge to the latest 588 Tour Action wedge, these wedges have been a favorite of golfers aroud the world. With their classic design, precision-milled grooves, and advanced technologies, the Cleveland 588 wedge series is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
Bounce of the Cleveland 588 Wedge
The bounce on a Cleveland 588 wedge refers to the angle between the leading edge of the clubface and the lowest point of the sole, also knon as the “bounce angle.” The 588 Tour Action Wedge is available in two different bounce options: 8 degrees and 14 degrees.
The 8 degree bounce option is designed for players who have a shallow angle of attack and tend to take divots that are shallower in depth. This bounce option is ideal for firm turf conditions and tight lies, as it helps to prevent the leading edge of the club from digging into the ground.
The 14 degree bounce option is designed for players who have a steeper angle of attack and tend to take divots that are deeper in depth. This bounce option is ideal for softer turf conditions and thicker rough, as it helps to prevent the club from getting stuck in the ground.
It’s worth noting that the bounce angle can also affect the overall playability and versatility of the wedge. A higher bounce angle can make it easier to hit high, soft shots with more spin, while a lower bounce angle can make it easier to hit lower, more penetrating shots with less spin.
The bounce angle is an important factor to consider when choosing a wedge, as it can have a significant impact on your ability to hit consistent, high-quality shots around the green.
Are Cleveland 588 Wedges Forgiving for Golfers?
Cleveland 588 wedges offer some degree of forgiveness. The main feature that contributes to this is the cavity back design of the wedge. This design helps to redistribute weight away from the center of the clubface, which can help to reduce the impact of off-center hits.
It’s worth noting that wedges typically require less forgiveness than other types of clubs, like drivers or irons. This is because the shots that you take with a wedge are usualy shorter and more controlled, which means that you have more control over where the ball lands.
That being said, even a little bit of forgiveness can be helpful, especially if you’re a beginner or an intermediate player. It can help to provide more consistent results and can help to reduce the likelihood of mishits.
While Cleveland 588 wedges are not the most forgiving wedges on the market, they do offer some degree of forgiveness thanks to their cavity back design. If you’re looking for a wedge that can help you improve your short game, the Cleveland 588 wedge is definitely worth considering.
The Shape of Grooves on the Cleveland 588
The Cleveland 588 wedge series features U-shaped grooves that are designed to improve spin, ball flight, and overall performance on the course. These grooves are specifically engineered to increase the amount of friction between the clubface and the ball, which helps to create more spin and a higher trajectory. The unique shape of the grooves also helps to channel debris and moisture away from the ball, further enhancing the spin and control that golfers can achieve with tese wedges. the U-shaped grooves on the Cleveland 588 are a key feature that sets these clubs apart from other wedges on the market, and they are a popular choice among golfers of all skill levels.
The Difficulty of Hitting a Wedge Shot
The hardest wedge to hit is generally considered to be the lob wedge. This is due to its high loft angle, typically ranging from 58 to 64 degrees, which makes it more difficult to control the ball’s flight and spin. The lob wedge is typically used for shots that require a high trajectory and a soft landing, such as gettig out of a bunker or hitting a flop shot over an obstacle. However, due to its steep angle of attack, it requires a more precise swing and timing to hit consistently. As a result, many golfers may find it challenging to master and may opt to stick with other wedges such as the pitching or sand wedge.
The Release of the Cleveland 588 Wedge
The Cleveland 588 Forged Wedge was first launched in the UK market on November 1, 2011. This wedge model is available for both left and right-handed players and is made using steel material. The shaft types available for this wedge are also made of steel. Cleveland, the manufacturer of this wedge, has a website where interested buyers can find more information about the product. It is worth noting that the Cleveland 588 Forged Wedge is a high-performance wedge that can help golfers improve their game, especially around the greens.
Release Date of Cleveland 588 Wedges
The Cleveland 588 wedges were first introduced in 1988, making it the fifth wedge design created by Cleveland Golf. The wedge was designed by Roger Cleveland and was made from 8620 carbon steel, which allowed the club to patina over time. This unique feature gave the wedge a distinct appearance and added to its popularity. Since then, the Cleveland 588 wedge has become one of the most popular wedges on the market and has been used by professional golfers and amateurs alike. the Cleveland 588 wedge is considered a game-changer in wedge design and has had a significant impact on the world of golf.
The Release Year of the Cleveland 588 Irons
The Cleveland 588 irons were released in 2013, followng up on the popular 588 Forged CB and 588 Forged MB irons. The new additions to the 588 iron line were the 588 MT (medium trajectory) and TT (tour trajectory) irons. These irons were designed to provide golfers with options for different ball flights and trajectories. The 588 MT irons were designed to provide a mid-level ball flight, while the 588 TT irons were designed for golfers who prefer a lower ball flight. Both sets of irons feature a classic design with modern technology to provide golfers with forgiveness and playability. The 588 iron line is a popular choice for golfers of all skill levels, and the 2013 release of the MT and TT irons added even more versatility to the line.
What Is the Best Wedge for Chipping?
When it comes to chipping, selecting the right wedge is crucial for ensuring accuracy and control over your shots. While there are several types of wedges available, the sand wedge is widely considered to be the best option for chipping.
Sand wedges typically come with a loft degree that ranges between 54 and 58 degrees. This loft enables the clubface to create a high launch angle, whih is essential for getting the ball up and onto the green quickly.
Moreover, the sand wedge’s bounce angle helps to prevent the club from digging into the ground, allowing golfers to make more solid contact with the ball. This feature also makes it easier to slide the club under the ball, producing a higher and softer shot.
In addition, sand wedges are versatile and suitable for a range of chipping situations. They can be used from different lies, including rough, sand, and even tight lies. Their wide sole also makes them ideal for chip shots from the fringe or around the green, where precision and control are essential.
The sand wedge is a reliable and effective choice for chipping. Its loft, bounce angle, versatility, and ability to create a high launch angle make it an ideal option for golfers looking to improve their short game.
What Is the Best Wedge Grind for Steep Swing?
When it comes to wedge grinds, choosing the right one can make a significant impact on your short game. For players with a steep and aggressive swing type, the F Grind is the way to go. This grind is designed to work best on full shots from turf, providing maximum control and consistency.
The F Grind is particularly useful for players who tend to take a divot when they strike the ball. Its unique shape, with a full sole and a slight camber, helps to prevent digging and allows the club to glide through the turf smoothly. This grind also features a higher bounce angle, which helps to prevent the leading edge from digging into the ground and causing a fat shot.
For those who use a lot of wrist action in their swing, the F Grind offers excellent versatility arund the greens. It’s easier to open the face of the club, allowing for more loft and spin on short shots. The F Grind is also ideal for players who prefer a lower trajectory on their wedge shots.
If you’re looking to add a wedge with an F Grind to your bag, you’ll find a range of lofts available, from pitching wedge to sand wedge. This means you can choose the right wedge to suit your game and cover any gaps in your wedge play.
The F Grind is the best wedge grind for players with a steep and aggressive swing type. Its design helps prevent digging and offers versatility around the greens, making it an excellent choice for players looking to improve their short game.
What Sand Wedge Is Available in Cleveland?
Cleveland Golf, a well-known brand in the golf industry, offers a range of wedges designed to help golfers improve their short game. Among these wedges is the CBX ZipCore sand wedge, whch is specifically designed to tackle sand shots.
The CBX ZipCore sand wedge features a wide sole and a low bounce angle, making it easy to get the ball out of the bunker and onto the green. The wedge also has a unique ZipCore design, which moves the weight of the club to the center of the head for more stability and a better feel.

The CBX ZipCore sand wedge is an excellent choice for golfers looking to improve their sand play and their overall short game. With its innovative design and top-notch features, this wedge is sure to help golfers of all levels hit better shots around the green.
The Legality of Square Groove Golf Clubs
Square grooves were banned from the PGA tour in 2010, causing a stir among golf enthusiasts. The main reason for this ban was not because square grooves provide an unfair advantage, but rather due to a PGA rule that stated that the width and depth of the grooves on a clubface could not exceed a certain limit. The idea behind this rule was to prevent players from gaining too much spin on the ball, wich could make it easier to control and land on target.
However, some golfers and experts argue that square grooves do provide a slight advantage over traditional V-shaped grooves. Square grooves have more edges and corners, which can grab the ball and create more spin. This can be especially helpful when hitting from the rough, as the square grooves can help the clubface dig into the grass and make cleaner contact with the ball.
Despite this controversy, the ban on square grooves still stands in the PGA tour. The USGA (United States Golf Association) and R&A (Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews) have also implemented rules limiting the use of square grooves in amateur and professional tournaments. However, recreational golfers can still use clubs with square grooves without any issues.
Square grooves were banned from the PGA tour due to a rule limiting the width and depth of grooves on clubfaces. While some argue that square grooves provide a slight competitive advantage, the ban still stands in professional and amateur golf tournaments.
Illegal Wedge Degrees
The groove rule, introduced in 2008, affects all clubs with lofts of 25 degrees and above, including wedges. This rule prohibits the use of U-shaped grooves in wedges and only allows V-groove design. Therefore, any wedge with a loft of 25 degrees and above that has U-shaped grooves is considered illegal. It is crucial to note that this rule applies only to professional players and tournaments sanctioned by the USGA and R&A. However, it is always advisable to adhere to this rule in all games to avoid any controversies.
The Best Three Wedges to Carry
When it comes to golf clubs, wedges are an essential part of any golfer’s bag. They are designed to help you hit high, short shots around the green, and can make all the difference in your game. But with so many different types of wedges available, it can be challenging to decide which ones to carry in your bag. In this article, we’ll take a look at the best three wedges to carry to help improve your game.
The first wedge you should carry is a pitching wedge. This club typically has a loft of around 46° and is designed to hit shots from around 100 yards and in. It’s an all-purpose club that can be used for full swings, approach shots, and chipping around the green. The pitching wedge is an essential club for any golfer and should be the first wedge you consider adding to your bag.
The scond wedge you should carry is a gap wedge. This club typically has a loft of around 52° and is designed to fill the gap between your pitching wedge and your sand wedge. It’s ideal for shots from around 80-100 yards and can also be used for chipping around the green. The gap wedge is an excellent club for golfers who struggle with distance control and is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their short game.
The third wedge you should carry is a lob wedge. This club typically has a loft of around 58° and is designed to hit high, short shots around the green. It’s ideal for getting the ball up and over hazards and bunkers and can also be used for flop shots and bunker shots. The lob wedge is a specialty club and is not essential for all golfers, but it can be a valuable addition to your bag if you find yourself struggling with high, short shots.
The best three wedges to carry are a pitching wedge, a gap wedge, and a lob wedge. These clubs provide you with the versatility and options you need to improve your short game and lower your scores on the course. If you’re looking to add some new wedges to your bag, consider these three options, and you won’t be disappointed.
What Is the Best Wedge for a 90-Yard Shot?
When it coes to selecting a wedge for a 90-yard shot, the gap wedge (also known as the 52-degree wedge) is a popular option among golfers. This club is designed to fill the distance gap between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge, making it a versatile choice for a variety of shots.
One of the primary advantages of using a gap wedge for a 90-yard shot is that it provides a high level of control and accuracy. With a loft angle of around 52 degrees, it allows golfers to hit the ball high and soft, providing plenty of stopping power on the green. This can be especially important when dealing with tight pin placements or tricky bunker shots.
In addition to its accuracy, the gap wedge is also a great choice for golfers looking to add some spin to their shots. By using the proper technique and swing, the club can create a significant amount of backspin, which can help the ball stop quickly on the green and avoid rolling too far.
Of course, as with any club, the effectiveness of the gap wedge for a 90-yard shot will depend on the individual golfer’s skill level and swing style. However, for many golfers, the gap wedge is a reliable choice that can help them achieve the accuracy and control they need to succeed on the course.
The Cleveland 588 wedge series has a rich history dating back to the late 1980s. The original 588 Tour Action wedge was a game-changer, with its U-shaped grooves and soft carbon steel construction. Over the years, the series has evolved to include new features like the cavity back design in the latest 588 Tour Action Wedge. Despite thee changes, the Cleveland 588 series has maintained its reputation for providing excellent spin, feel, and ball flight. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, adding a Cleveland 588 wedge to your bag can help improve your short game and take your skills to the next level.
Cleveland Tour Action Irons Review – Still Good And Forgiving For High Handicappers?
“The Cleveland Tour Action irons were made to resemble blades but provide the forgiveness of cavity back irons.”
There were a few different iterations of the Cleveland Tour Action irons but for this review, I tested the Cleveland Tour Action 7 irons. This is the latest, and some would argue, greatest version of the Tour Action irons.
With these irons, Cleveland was really trying to bridge the gap between game improvement and players performance. Did they succeed? Are the Cleveland Tour Action irons any good for high handicappers? Read on to find out.
Are Cleveland Tour Action Irons Still Good?
“The Cleveland Tour Action irons have a very unique feature that I don’t think I’ve seen in any other irons.”
At least, not in any irons I can remember. The feature I’m talking about is the “Micro Cavity.” There are about five little chambers bored into the back of the topline. The purpose of these tiny chambers is to lighten the top portion of the head so that the center of gravity is shifted downward.
This design also helps to move more weight to the perimeter of the head where it can provide more forgiveness. The Cleveland Tour Action irons also feature the Vibration Absorption Technology that Cleveland actually patented.
The Cleveland Tour Action irons are cavity backs with progressive offset. At address, you can see the cavity undercut jut out a bit behind the relatively thin top line. You’re not going to be fooled into thinking you’re playing blades but they do have a clean look for cavity backs.
The Cleveland Tour Action irons also have a healthy face depth. There is enough real estate up and down the face to eliminate your thin shots. However, I did have some issues with digging.
Overall though, the Cleveland Tour Action irons have a light, wieldy feel. I found myself falling into a groove with them relatively quickly.
Are the Cleveland Tour Action Irons Forgiving for High Handicappers?
“The best thing about the Cleveland Tour Action irons for high handicappers is that they have a big sweet spot.”
After just a few swings, I found the rhythm of these irons and was able to hit the expansive sweet spot consistently. The offset is generous in the long irons which didn’t look great to me; but it did provide excellent forgiveness.
The combination of the pronounced offset and the large sweet spot made the long irons in this set very easy to manage. And the long irons are notorious for giving neophyte players trouble so I would say that these irons are forgiving for high handicappers.
The large cavity back design helps to push mass towards the perimeter of the head. This stabilizes much of your common mis-hits.
The distance I was getting from these irons was a bit above average. With the 7-iron, I was averaging 158.7 yards. The dispersion was also reasonably tight when I stayed within the scoring lines.
And while the sweet spot is wide and hard to miss, if you do manage to miss it, don’t expect much forgiveness. On shots that missed the sweet spot, my ball was picking up a ton of spin and losing a lot of speed. As a result, my divergence widened and my carry distance dropped.
Cleveland Tour Action Vs Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons
“The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo’s are hybrid irons with a hollow body design.”
The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons also come stock with counterbalanced shafts. The Launcher XL Halo irons are extremely forgiving but they offer no workability. Also, if you aren’t used to counterbalanced shafts, they may feel weird to you. I would only recommend the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons to pure beginners.
Cleveland Tour Action First Impressions
“I liked the fact that the Cleveland Tour Action irons did in fact offer a moderate degree of workability in a forgiving iron.”
They don’t really look like blades which is something I was expecting and hoping for. But I was able to work the ball left and right to a moderate degree. They aren’t massive irons. Instead, they have a moderate head size which strikes a really good balance between forgiveness and versatility.
Cleveland Tour Action Selling Points
- Micro cavities
- Progressive offset
- Good face depth
- Vibration absorption system
- Large sweet spot
Cleveland Tour Action Key Technology
Vibration absorption system.
The VAS is designed to smooth out those harsh vibrations when you miss the sweet spot. I had no problem with the feel of these irons. They felt smooth and consistent all across the face.
Micro Cavities
The small cavities bored behind the top line work to redistribute weight low in the club head. They also appear to be filled with some sort of polymer or urethane which may contribute to the smooth feel.
Deep Face Profile
The deep face profile makes it much more difficult to hit the ball thin. For me though, the same feature was causing me to dig more than usual on the fairway.
Cleveland Tour Action Loft & Lie
Who should buy the cleveland tour action irons.
“This was a tricky one to decide.”
First of all, I would say that Cleveland did in fact do a good job of making an iron that was at once forgiving and workable. The Cleveland Tour Action irons are inherently forgiving and it takes extreme mis-hits to affect their accuracy.
They can be point-and-shoot irons, and for more skilled players, they can be worked side-to-side a bit. So in the end, I suppose these irons would work for high and mid handicappers. Pretty much anyone in the 12-24 handicap range.
Distance: 96/100
Forgiveness: 96/100, workability: 96/100, overall performance: 96/100, value: 97/100.
Overall Score: 96/100
