ABOUT ME I’m Andrew Jensen, a former full time touring professional that played on PGA TOUR Canada, Latinoamerica and almost every North American based mini tour since 2008. I want to use my playing experience to inspire golfers to improve their own game and have more fun with this amazing game we play!
so Cleveland Golf sent me their brand
new rtx6 tour rack zip core wedges 5660
to test and review for y'all I haven't
used a Cleveland wedge in over 20 years
I haven't used a dynamic gold shaft in
over 20 years so I think we're going to
have a lot of fun with this one yeah 20
years since any Cleveland club or
dynamic gold shaft has been in my golf
bag it's been a while but I'm diving
deep into this review of the Cleveland
rtx6 wedges all of my reviews of clubs
go through a four part criteria look
feel numbers and playability
[Music]
so I went with the raw tour rack finish
they look really really good I like I
mean heck they've already started to
show a little bit of rust just after a
couple rounds looking down at it I love
the look of the grooves and the mill
work and the Milling in the toe I like a
straighter Leading Edge this Leading
Edge just has a bit of curve I don't
love it I don't hate it but I I
certainly don't love that look I like a
straighter Leading Edge Cleveland seems
to do a little bit more curve a little
bit more release in the in the heel and
the toe but
everything else looking down at it at a
dress in the bag looks great I will give
a little bit of a knock to just there's
a lot of there's a lot of branding
there's a lot of markings you have
Cleveland you have zip core you have
rtx6 tour rack and then the Loft and
bounce and the full mid it just seems a
bit busy it looks a little bit kind of
like game improvement iron to say full
mid or high bounce over the degrees as
well so 56 full 12 so it's like you're
kind of it's kind of redundant having
full and 12 and it just looks a little
bit busy on the toe I would love it if
it just said 5612 just a little more
classic but that's kind of my knock it
looks probably like an eight out of ten
like I said the Leading Edge just a
little too round for my tastes and just
a little too much going on the back of
the club but everything else looks great
[Music]
like I said the look is me but sometimes
you can Overlook less than perfect look
when they feel so damn good and these
feel
awesome like I put these straight into
the bag I didn't even hit these in the
garage first my first test with these
was a round of golf and the feel was
incredible full shots half shots little
shots around the green I didn't hit
extra shots with them they just feel so
good off the face they grab but they
don't feel like over grabby over spinny
and this shaft
I think this is the best wedge shaft
I've felt or I've hit maybe maybe ever
it just did exactly what I wanted it to
do I could flight it really low I could
hit it high I could get it like it just
the feel absolute 10 out of 10.
[Music]
when I test numbers for a wedge I test
them based on like a three-quarter
yardage so at the 60 degree that's a 90
yard shot and with the 56 degree it's
105 yard shot
[Music]
for your birthday foreign
[Music]
an average of five shots when I get
these numbers and with the 60 degree
this was five for five this was like so
incredibly predictable that some of
these flew exactly 90 exactly 90 but the
average 90.2 yards you see the numbers
all here on the screen spin number so
good that spin number is money some
wedges I've tested earlier this year are
just spinning a little too much and I'm
already kind of like a higher launch
wedge player so if I'm launching a
little bit too high and spin it too much
I could run the risk of of shots falling
out of the sky too early or really
Rising With the Wind when I'm trying to
flight it into the wind so these numbers
of Spin and then look at that launch
that launch is is like a degree lower
than what I can get with all other
wedges I love that and the thing that's
happening is the peak height is coming
down but the angle of descent isn't
changing a great degree so literally
perfect numbers for me and yes it's the
club head yes it's the shaft but like
this 60 degree is 100 stain in the bag
because it's it's bloody perfect
[Music]
foreign
this one took me about nine or ten shots
to get these five not as predictable but
that's maybe just a me thing more than
the club they're perfect again not
spinning too much keeping it kind of
right around 9000 RPM at that slightly
lower launch a little bit lower Peak
height but not losing a lot of angle of
descent
so good it's just like it's so good and
when I played with them
I saw that before seeing these numbers
so yeah that's just just
really really good
we're doing it a little bit differently
we're kind of skipping the flow of
things usually I get the numbers first
with the wedges but these wedges I'm
putting in the bag first to test them
for 18 holes and stream song Black
second hole 60 degree wedge 58 yards up
and over the bunker
let's see how they perform for me out
here
so playing with these on the course not
knowing numbers I didn't I didn't not
trust them I just was like let's see
what we can do and we could do
everything first and foremost I could
flight them it was so fun to do hit a
little 60 yarder nice and low try to
chase it back there make a birdie uh one
little 93 yarder a little bit into the
wind like hard flighted 60 degree
oh that felt really good
it sounded good too yeah and that like
actually
didn't balloon huh it was a little
flatter
wow that was sexy sexy sexy
it was just so good and then when I
think I hit a full Sand Wedge once kind
of high but landed perfectly hit my
number awesome and then around the
greens I think I had like two shots one
with the cameras rolling a couple maybe
with the cameras not rolling
so good and then bunker shots and I had
three bunker shots that day one here
with the camera rolling it's it was so
good like it was so fun I shot a couple
under par I played a tee up on stream
song Black just to make sure that I
would hit more wedges and uh yeah
these wedges are going in the bag like I
can Overlook that little rounded Leading
Edge because the playability the numbers
everything the feel it all backs up
everything's a 10 out of 10 that looks
like an 8 out of 10. yeah you would love
something that you look down at and you
love but I don't hate it it's good but
the performance is there everything
about these wedges is is so good I love
the feel shaft great yeah
like this is almost almost almost
the perfect wedge
we'll see in the next video
