Also the new 588 Wedges-
Made from 1025 carbon steel, the 588 Forged wedge offers golfers an incredibly soft yet solid feel and less unwanted vibration. The advanced Precision Forging process ensures the highest level of part-to-part manufacturing consistency for supreme confidence and trust over every shot. The 588 Forged wedge’s Tour Zip Grooves™ and Laser Milled™ technology help to maximize spin in accordance with USGA regulations. Also, exclusive to the 588 Forged wedge is the Tour Concept steel shaft, co-developed and engineered by Cleveland Golf and industry leader True Temper. With a unique stiffness profile that features a less active tip, this shaft promotes a more penetrating ball flight, increased spin and optimal distance control along with superior feel.
“The confidence-inspiring shape of the original 588 wedge remains the standard by which all competitors’ wedges have been judged for more than 23 years, and attempting to build upon that benchmark is not a task we take lightly at Cleveland Golf,” said Todd Harman, President of Cleveland Golf/Srixon – U.S.A. “Our 588 wedge is the most popular wedge in the history of the game, and with sales in excess of 3 million units worldwide, it’s arguably the single most successful golf club ever brought to market. Our new 588 Forged wedge not only lives up to the 588 legacy, it takes Cleveland wedges to a whole new level.”
Available in Chrome and Satin finishes, Cleveland Golf’s 588 Forged wedges will begin shipping in November 2011 with a listed minimum advertised price of $139.99. Available in a variety of loft and bounce options, the 588 Forged wedge can also be personalized at MyCustomWedge.com with an array of color, logo, shaft and grind options.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

The 588 irons are going to MAP for $999.99.
Black pearl will start shipping beginning of March, but will make sure with my rep.
Email with any other questions or pre order and receive special gift.

How much for a set of 588 irons (3-PW)?
I know you can order the 588 wedges in black pearl via Cleveland’s custom wedge builder online. But they cost $199 each. Does anyone know if the regular 588s will ever ship in black pearl?
If so, when?
