Hi Guys,

Looking for a new wedge family and i really like the look of the new Cleveland 588, has any one got a set and if so how have you found them on the course?

Went to a recent golf demo day, and got to hit 588 GW and three bounce versions of the 56° SW. The wedges have a bit more rounded leading edge than the CG15 or 16, and doesn't grab as much if you it the ball a little fat. For the 56.16, I could really go after the ball - even on quarter or half swings, the shot took off nice and high, almost like a LW.

I also tested out the new Callaway Forged wedges. Another smooth club, felt almost the same as the 588.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Think I might wait for the new 588s with the Rotex face milling. Have heard from a couple of people that it's like having pre-CC grooves again. The cavity version is out already, the blade is coming next year.

Looks like they rounded out the milling. Big difference? Seems to make sense if you think about it. Will see.

Tried a few out and ended up with the Vokey SM4, just bought Ping i20 irons so the feel is pretty similar, just gotta knuckle down over winter and get used to them now!

Forgive me for asking an obvious question, but why would you buy a 588 expecting it to be like your old 900? The 588 wasn't like the 900 the first time around.

Much more like it than the new ones are! My buddy has old 588s and they look almost identical to my 900.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
