If so, does it wear well? Does anyone have pictures of their 588 RTX Black Pearl wedges? I would like to see the wear on the color of the wedge. Thanks!

I have one, it wears VERY well. I have used this one for about 10 rounds. I will say this though, I find that the RTX face pattern gives you absolutely no more spin than any other wedge does. I prefer my wilson wedges to it honestly and the weighting on this makes it much more prone to skulling IMO.

Those look great. Do you do anything special to them before/during/after a round?

I don't have the RTX but I have 5 older black pearl Cleveland wedges. IMO the finish wear depends how it's used and the conditions used in. Just a few swings in the gnarly sand at my former home course and mine were pretty dinged up. A few trips to a driving range with a lot of bare ground scratched the finish from the soles. I have a 48* CG16 that has only been used in grass and it shows little wear. I've had my 52* longer and it shows significant wear, the face is a dull grey color with specks of the silver underneath starting to show. All have been used less than a year.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
