  I have two Cleveland rtx 588 cb wedges with the rotex 2.0 face and love them, great spin, but  they're finally  wearing out. So I was wondering when I replace them does Cleveland still use the rotex face or have they come up with something different? Just curious.

Thanks

Isn’t the Rotex face just unfinished milling? I believe they still sell wedges like that.

It looks like their grooves are now called "Ultizip"

ULTIZIP GROOVES

These new grooves are sharper, deeper, and narrower. They bite harder, channel more debris, and they’re closer together for more groove contact on every shot.

Is Rotex the grooves? The CBX Full Face wedge has this under technology:

They offer a lot of different wedges and I don’t know why.

It might not be. I couldn't quite tell, I didn't know if RTX was the same thing as Rotex? I'd think so but who knows.

Seems like they're making it unnecessarily complicated IMO.

It is Rotex. Zipcore is the 5th generation Rotex wedge. I have 3 of them (only two in the bag, the 58° And 62°) 

You can pry my 62° out of my cold dead hands.

      Day 230 (19 Dec 24) - Spent some time working the 6i thru varied shots and related adjustments in setup (esp stance) - full swings, partial swing pitches and easy dink and rolls - using the hard foam balls.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I visited the PGA Superstore again today. Once again I messed around with the LAB putters. There was another customer there and this guy was totally sold on them. He walked away with one. Anyhow, this guy told me all about them. ... Pretty much stuff that we've already covered in this thread. I did mention to him that I wasn't impressed with the feel. To which he told me you have to try one with the upgraded shaft. So, I did. I have to say the feel was better with the upgraded shaft. Still not the best feeling putter out there, but clearly better than the standard shaft. The feel is also improved (in my opinion) by going with a more traditional grip instead of the forward leaning one. They also had one of the DF3's in blue. Which of course would be my favorite. The DF3 in blue with the upgraded shaft started to scratch the 600 dollar mark.  Once again, I came away thinking that Tour Edge is the way to go. They actually had a face balanced model for $99.99. I have to say it "felt" to my hands much better. Every time I go and test LAB putters I come away thinking more people should buy the Tour Edge putters. Just one man's opinion. BTW - I also tried the Odyssey face-balanced putter. It was okay.  Anyway, my experimenting with the LAB putters is probably over. Not sure when I'll replace my current gamer, but when I do, I don't think it will be with a LAB putter even though it does come in blue. 😜
