Cleveland — your questions answered
Are used Cleveland wedges worth buying?
Very much so. Cleveland is the wedge specialist, and its RTX and RTZ wedges are tour staples, so buying used gets you genuine short-game pedigree for a fraction of new. The one thing that matters with a used wedge is the grooves, and we check those by hand before we list it, so the spin is still there.
LINK TO MODELS →Do used wedges still spin like new?
It comes down to the grooves. They're what grip the ball and create spin, and they do wear with heavy use, so a tired wedge will spin less. But a lightly-used wedge with sharp grooves performs just like new. That's exactly why we grade groove wear on every wedge, so you're never buying spin that isn't there.
Is used Cleveland a good way for beginners to start?
One of the best. Cleveland makes some of the most forgiving, affordable clubs around, from Launcher drivers and irons to Smart Sole wedges and complete sets. Buying them used keeps the cost of starting golf right down. And when you improve and want to upgrade, you can trade them straight back in towards your next set.
HOW TO SELL →Who owns Cleveland?
Cleveland is a Dunlop brand, owned by Sumitomo Rubber, alongside Srixon, XXIO and Never Compromise putters.
Is Cleveland a good brand for beginners?

WEDGES →Which Cleveland wedge should I choose?

RTZ is the newer line. It replaced RTX 6, switching to a softer Z-Alloy steel for better feel with the same tour spin.

Why Cleveland
If you want to get up and down, you want a Cleveland in your hand. Founded in 1979 by master club designer Roger Cleveland, the brand has spent more than four decades earning its reputation as golf's short-game specialist. Its RTX and newer RTZ wedges are a fixture in tour bags around the world, trusted by major winners to spin the ball and hold the green under real pressure. In 2025, Roger Cleveland himself returned to the company as brand advisor.
What sets Cleveland apart is that it makes the game easier at both ends. The same brand the pros trust for their wedges is also one of the most welcoming for new and improving golfers. The Launcher line delivers genuinely forgiving, affordable drivers, irons and hybrids; the Smart Sole wedges take the fear out of chipping and bunkers; and Cleveland's complete sets are among the best ways to start golf without spending a fortune. Few brands span tour bags and first bags so comfortably.
Cleveland is part of the Dunlop family, owned by Japan's Sumitomo Rubber, alongside Srixon, XXIO and Never Compromise putters. In practice, Cleveland and Srixon share engineering teams, which is why the two work so naturally together in a bag: Srixon irons and drivers, Cleveland wedges. It's a combination you'll spot in plenty of tour setups, including JJ Spaun's winning 2025 US Open bag. Buy into Cleveland and you're buying short-game know-how backed by a serious engineering group.
