Cleveland RTZ Black Satin wedge, steel

The all-new Cleveland RTZ Black Satin Wedges are built from Z-Alloy — a completely new steel formula that Cleveland spent years developing to enable a zero-compromise design approach. The result is extraordinary feel, better durability, and outstanding consistency, making these Cleveland's best-performing tour wedges to date. Every RTZ Black Satin wedge is finished in a long-lasting, low-glare Black Satin coating that reduces reflections at address while delivering an unmistakably tour-calibre look. Available across an extensive range of lofts, bounce options, and sole grinds, the RTZ Black Satin is engineered for the better player who demands maximum versatility and precision in the short game.

• Z-Alloy Construction: An entirely new carbon-steel formula — softer and less dense than 8620 steel — that delivers superior feel, better forgiveness, and remarkable consistency.
• HydraZip Face Technology: A unique system of face blasts and laser-milled lines dynamically configured by loft groupings to maximise spin in wet and adverse conditions.
• ZipCore Low-Density Core: Replaces heavier material in the heel and hosel area to shift the Centre of Gravity closer to the strike zone while simultaneously boosting MOI.
• UltiZip Grooves: Sharper, deeper grooves cut through grass and debris at contact to deliver stronger, more consistent spin from the fairway, rough, or bunker.
• Black Satin Finish: A long-lasting, low-glare finish that reduces reflections and maintains a clean, professional look round after round.
• Multiple Sole Grinds: Choose from FULL, MID, LOW, and ADAPT grinds to perfectly match your swing style, attack angle, and typical playing conditions.
• Traditional Groove Option: All Black Satin variants feature traditional-specification grooves for broad playing condition compliance.
• Premium Steel Shaft: Fitted as standard with the True Temper Dynamic Gold Spinner Tour Issue Steel shaft in Wedge flex (128 g, 0.600").
• Tour-Calibre Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 grip in black — Standard size (52 g, 0.580").

Technology in Detail

Z-ALLOY

Cleveland RTZ Wedges are crafted from Z-Alloy — a groundbreaking steel formula the company spent years developing with a single ambition: zero design restrictions. When no existing material met their demanding standards, Cleveland's engineers created their own. Z-Alloy is softer and less dense than conventional 8620 steel, making it one of the few metals developed exclusively for the benefit of golf clubs. This future-focused approach delivers superior feel, better forgiveness, and remarkable consistency across every loft. For the Black Satin finish, Z-Alloy's inherent durability ensures the wedge maintains its performance and appearance round after round.

HYDRAZIP

HydraZip is Cleveland's unique system of face blasts and laser-milled lines, formulated specifically to maximise spin performance under wet conditions. Unlike a uniform face treatment, HydraZip is dynamically configured by loft groupings — meaning the face texture is tailored to each specific loft to help balance spin consistency across the entire set while maximising traction in rain, dew, or morning-wet rough. Whether you are hitting a full pitch or a delicate flop shot, HydraZip keeps spin levels high even when conditions are at their worst.

ZIPCORE

ZipCore is Cleveland's patented low-density core technology that replaces heavier material in the heel and hosel area with a lightweight, low-density, vibration-dampening compound. By moving this dead weight, Cleveland engineers can shift the Centre of Gravity (CG) much closer to the centre of the face — exactly where you strike the ball — while simultaneously adding MOI for greater stability on off-centre hits. The result is a blade-profile wedge that delivers the forgiveness characteristics more typically associated with larger cavity-back designs, without sacrificing the feedback and precision that better players demand.

ULTIZIP GROOVES

UltiZip is Cleveland's most aggressive groove system yet. Sharper groove edges cut through grass and debris the moment the face makes contact with the ball, while the increased groove depth creates space for grass, sand, dirt, or water to clear the impact zone rapidly. The outcome is stronger, more consistent ball spin from every lie — whether you are in the tight fairway, a fluffy rough, or a greenside bunker. UltiZip ensures the RTZ delivers reliable, predictable spin no matter the challenge.

ADAPT WITH FULL-FACE GROOVES

The ADAPT grind is more than just a sole shape — it features its own unique face geometry and leading-edge bevel, designed specifically for creative players who love to open the face and manufacture shots around the green. The C-shaped sole provides relief at the heel, toe, and trailing edge to allow unrestricted face rotation at impact. Exclusively, all ADAPT-grind RTZ wedges feature the Full-Face groove option, extending grooves across the entire face surface for added spin even on open-face shots, together with an extended toe shape for maximum versatility.

* Cleveland Golf has updated the way club lengths are measured and published to align with USGA and R&A Industry guidelines. Published length specifications for Cleveland wedges are now approximately 1/4" longer. Note: actual club lengths are unchanged — only the measurement and recording method has been updated.

Sole Grinds

The Cleveland RTZ Black Satin is available in three sole grind profiles — FULL, MID, and LOW — each engineered for specific turf conditions, attack angles, and playing styles. Select the grind that best matches your game.

FULL — This classic sole design offers stability on full shots, with added bounce that provides complete confidence from bunkers and thick rough lies.

MID — This V-shaped sole is the ideal all-rounder for versatile wedge play. It glides smoothly through the turf and delivers complete confidence on every type of shot.

LOW — A versatile lob wedge sole with relief at the heel, toe, and trailing edge. The classic choice for finesse play from firmer turf conditions.
