“I found on eBay an excellent condition 56-degree Cleveland 588. I absolutely loved this wedge back in the day. I never carried a 60 because I could do anything with my 56 Tour Action 588. I think they had 14 degrees of bounce.”

- skraly: “For me, the shape of the original 56 deg. 588 T/A chrome is just perfect. I have a couple of the 56’s and a 53 deg. diadic and a 60 deg as well. All still in good condition. About as good as wedges can be, in my opinion.”
