Cleveland Beryllium
Copper
Editor's Note: The beryllium copper wedges received a review that was similar to that of Cleveland's Raw Tour Grind (RTG) models. Both produce a softer feel at impact and differ slightly in shape and appearance. Suggested retail price is $150 for BC, $125 for RTG, and $110 for chrome. GM

Cleveland 588P Review:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
| Very accurate. Easy to align and excellent out of greenside bunkers. | ||
|
||
| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
| Better than average distance. Solid well struck shots are rewarded with consistant distances. | ||
|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| Wedges produce adequate distance. Difficult to control full shots, but half and three quarter shots produced consistant distances. | ||
|
||
| Feel |
|
|
Excellent. The beryllium copper produces
a soft feel at impact. Blade design gives good feedback
on mis-hits. Very similar to their RTG model. |
||
|
||
| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
Not very forgiving on off-center hits. They are easy to hit as are most wedges. |
||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| Traditional shape and look; beryllium copper, color darkens over time. | ||
