Cleveland RTG
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 RTG Review:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
| Very accurate. Much more confident with these wedges than the Callaway wedges. | ||
|
||
| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
| Not much noticable difference in these versus the Callaway wedges but the wedges produce a lower trajectory which is easier to control. | ||
|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| Excellent trajectory. The ball does not balloon and they are easier to control into the wind. | ||
|
||
| Feel |
|
|
Excellent. The RTG's rust over time but
provide much better feel than previous clubs. Easier to
control the in-between shots. |
||
|
||
| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
Not quite as forgiving but we're talking about wedges. They are bigger anyway and easier to hit. |
||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| Very traditional look and thin top line; not as shiny as the chrome versions; looks like a scoring club from 100 yards in. | ||
