WEDGE
Cleveland RTX-4
2018
Reviewers (Golf Monthly, Plugged In Golf, Golfalot) consistently frame the RTX 4 as a step toward greater tour authenticity versus the RTX 3, with a smaller blade, less offset, and the addition of the XLOW grind for firm/links conditions — while retaining the RTX line's reputation for strong, consistent spin across lies including deep rough and bunkers. Compared to its more forgiving CBX sibling, testers note the RTX 4 gives more feedback on mishits and a firmer, less 'forged-soft' feel, positioning it against rivals like Titleist Vokey SM7 as a workable, shot-shaping tour wedge rather than a game-improvement option. Golfalot noted Cleveland priced the RTX 4 higher than expected for the category at launch.

GEARCADDIE FIT VERDICT
Who should play this club — and why
BEST FOR
Aimed primarily at better players and low-to-mid handicappers seeking a tour-authentic, compact-bladed wedge with fine-tuned grind options for shot-shaping and turf versatility, though Cleveland also builds in forgiveness (via Feel Balancing Technology) so higher-handicap golfers can still get value from it, especially in the higher lofts.
VERIFIED PRODUCT FACTS
What is specific to this model
The Cleveland RTX 4 is a tour-inspired performance wedge launched by Cleveland Golf in September 2018 as the successor to the RTX 3. It pairs a more compact, less-offset blade shape with 4th-generation Rotex Face milling and Tour Zip Grooves to deliver higher, more consistent spin from full shots, the rough, and around the greens.
