CLEVELAND GOLF introduces all-new RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges: The ultimate short-game weapon
Cleveland Golf has announced the release of the RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge, which is now available to buy.
The RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge is a short-game weapon uniquely designed to consistently hit high-spin shots no matter the lie.
By combining the new HydraZip face, UltiZip grooves, and upgraded ZipCore technologies, players can enjoy controlled spin from any lie.
Pat Ripp, Tour Engineering Manager of Research and Development, said: "The RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge may have the classic look on the outside, but inside it’s packed with three technological breakthroughs that give the advantage to the golfer and not the conditions."
RELATED: The most forgiving wedges ever made?
How is so much spin packed into one wedge?
It all starts with HydraZip. A technology that uses dynamic face blasts and laser lines to maximise friction for improved spin consistency in dry and wet conditions. R&D testing showed 43% more spin in wet conditions with the RTX 6 ZipCore than the previous generation.
Just as crucial as spin in wet or dry conditions is consistency. ZipCore, a unique, low-density core is designed to expand the sweet spot and upgrade MOI for ultimate forgiveness, while pushing the Center of Gravity (CG) directly behind the impact zone, helping players find more consistent performance. Meanwhile, by adding High/Low and Heel/Toe MOI into every loft in the line, golfers can benefit from increased spin, distance, and control.
The RTX 6 ZipCore features UltiZip technology, assisting golfers in cutting through debris more consistently. These grooves are sharper, deeper, and tightly spaced for enhanced spin, control, and consistency.
The RTX 6 ZipCore Wedge has four different sole grinds with a variety of lofts that are developed for greenside creativity. LOW, MID, and FULL grind options are all available, but new for 2023 is the LOW+ grind featured on sand wedge lofts. This option offers two degrees more bounce in a C-Shaped sole, adding extra bounce in bunkers.
Key Innovations Inside RTX 6 ZipCore:
HydraZip: A dynamic blast and laser-milled line system creating roughness to enhance friction—maximising spin in any conditions from anywhere around the green.
ZipCore: The proprietary, low-density core technology offering players increased spin, distance, consistency, feel, and control.
UltiZip: Features grooves that are sharper, deeper, and tightly spaced, allowing the club to slice through debris and bite harder for enhanced spin and control.
Sole Grinds: The new RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges have four versatile sole grinds:
LOW: Available in 58-60 degrees
LOW+: Available in 54-56 degrees
MID: Available in 46-60 degrees
FULL: Available in 54-60 degrees
