Cleveland Golf unveils limited-edition 588 Tour Action wedge
Cleveland Golf is bringing back one of the most influential wedges ever designed with the release of the limited-edition 588 Tour Action wedge.
Originally introduced in May 1988, the 588 with its iconic shape returns, crafted once again to original specifications and enhanced with the brand’s most advanced wedge technologies.
“From the very beginning, the 588 was built around feedback from the best players in the world. For this release, we stayed true to the original shaping and turf interaction that made it special, while integrating modern materials and technologies inside the club. It’s the same trusted look and performance, refined for today’s game.” – Roger Cleveland, Founder & Advisor at Cleveland Golf
The 588 established a new standard for shaping, turf interaction, and control, going on to earn hundreds of professional victories and dozens of major championships. More than a successful product, the 588 became the blueprint for tour-caliber wedge design that still influences the category today.
The limited-edition 588 Tour Action wedges are built with Cleveland Golf’s proprietary Z-Alloy and equipped with ZipCore, HydraZip, UltiZip grooves, and Rotex Face Milling, blending the soul of the original with the best Cleveland Golf technology available today. The result is a wedge that honors the past while designed to deliver the consistency, spin, and control demanded by today’s players.
The limited-edition 588 Tour Action wedge is offered as a three-club set: Gap (52°), Sand (56°), and Lob (60°), each ground to Roger Cleveland’s original specifications. Finished in a classic chrome, every set is presented in a premium collector’s box and includes a brushed brass plaque.
Only 588 sets will be available nationwide and they are priced at $588.00.
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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

That’s how it was originally introduced back then in 1988.

Indeed, the people who will want these probably miss the chrome.

You literally have no clue if you think it’s just a basic wedge. These changed golf and why Tiger used them.

You’re wrong…it is just a basic wedge. The 588s are very similar in shape as the Wilson Staff Dynapower wedges released decades before the 1988. Make no mistake, it is a great wedge but offers nothing new to the table.
