so the pw in my set is a 45 and the sw is a 55. i had a 58 wilson staff wedge from my old set and in order to fill the gap i ordered a 50 deg rtx588 wedge but got a 52 instead ... well that works i can just remove the 55 sand and have even gaps.

so i put the 52 into play yesterday and wow wow wow.. the club feels solid. even at my skill level and using a dt solo or an ad333 the ball was checking and taking a small skip and stopping on 3/4 and full shots. now i have never been able to make the ball check with my wedges but this 52 it just falls and stays there may it be from the first cut or the fairway.  . very impressed.. 2 thumbs up.

Glad to hear you found something you like. Mind linking the club you got? I am going to be considering a second wedge for my set (depending on which irons I get), and this one sounds like it's worth a look.

I tried several sets before I bought Taylormade rbz hp steel stiff irons 4-sw. The pw is 45 deg and sw is 55 deg. From the previous set I am using a Wilson staff 58 deg. A new Cleveland 588 rtx 52 deg. (Sw coming out of the bag) a Tm super tri stiff shaft r9 driver a Callaway big Bertha 3 wood and a Tm white smoke putter

Thanks for the link, Hammer. It's a nice-looking club. I think I like it in Black Pearl even more...definitely going to see if there's one at a shop in-town to get a feel for it.

No problem. Might have a look at other wedges just to be sure the 588 rxt is the one for you.

Of course, just saw that someone found what seems like a nice, versatile club (seeing as he likes it enough to dump his SW), so storing it in my brain as something to look for when I'm out and about.

I have the 54 degree and 58 degree cavity-back version. I can get a lot of spin when struck correctly. A guy I golf with on occasion has a set and also likes how well the 588 can spin a ball.

What I can't tell you is how it compares to another brand.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
