Cleveland RTZ 2 Black Satin Wedges

Roger Cleveland Grinds Built for Better Contact

The Cleveland RTZ 2 Black Satin Wedges bring more than 40 years of short-game expertise into a sleek, confidence-inspiring package. Designed with direct input from Roger Cleveland, Cleveland Golf engineers, and tour professionals, RTZ 2 features refreshed sole grinds, including the return of the legendary 588 grind, to give golfers better turf interaction, shot versatility, and control around the green. The dark Black Satin finish adds a clean, low-glare look that stands out in the bag without becoming distracting at address.

Under the hood, ZipCore iQ uses loft- and grind-specific hosel cores to reposition weight and deliver more consistent results on both centered and off-center strikes. Cleveland’s softer, less-dense Z-Alloy construction improves feel and forgiveness, while HydraZip, UltiZip, and Rotex Milling work together to generate predictable spin from the fairway, rough, sand, and wet conditions. Whether you are flighting a full wedge or trying to stop a delicate pitch on a tight pin, the RTZ 2 is built to give you the control to pull it off.

Why We Love These Wedges

The RTZ 2 Black Satin blends classic wedge craftsmanship with technology that actually makes a difference on the course. ZipCore iQ is customized for each loft and grind rather than using the same internal construction throughout the lineup, helping every wedge deliver the launch, feel, and control it was designed for. The black finish looks sharp, but the real payoff comes from the dependable spin, soft feedback, and versatile grind options that let golfers build a short-game setup around their swing and course conditions.

Austad's Fitter Tip

Start with how you deliver the club into the turf, not just which loft fills a yardage gap. Golfers with steeper swings or those who regularly play on soft turf will generally benefit from more bounce, while shallow swingers and players on firm conditions may prefer a lower-bounce or more versatile grind. Also think about how often you open the face around the green. The right RTZ 2 grind can make those specialty shots feel much easier and the wrong one can turn a simple pitch into an unwanted excavation project.
