Cleveland 588 Gunmetal?

Question

I have the 588 gunmetal wedges (56, 60, and a 51 that i dont use anymore). I have noticed that as time has gone on, i am getting less spin out of them on pitch shots, is this something standard with that club? Is it a product of the material. I can check a pitched PW with my 10 year old 962'b easier than i can with my 588's. any ideas?

Answer 1

Well, if they are rusting, they should produce more spin. Otherwise, the only reason I can think of is that maybe the grooves are worn down.

Also, the 962b wedges have V-grooves and the 588 has U-grooves.

Answer 2

Grooves are probably dull. If you are attached to those wedges take them into a shop for groove sharpening.

Also, at the risk of being obvious, make sure the club face is clean before each shot.

Answer 3

Sounds like they are worn out.  Maybe when you used the regroove tool on them you bunged up the edge of the grooves a little making them less sharp.  Or in spite of their age you have hit them more so they are just more worn down than the 962?  I don't think it is the material or something that happens to all Clevelands.

Answer 4

don't know
