HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., – 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 set the standard for tour-caliber wedge design. Now, that legendary shape returns, crafted once again to original specifications and enhanced with Cleveland Golf’s most advanced wedge technologies.

“From the very beginning, the 588 was built around feedback from the best players in the world,” said Roger Cleveland. “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.”

Few club designers have shaped the short game like Roger Cleveland. 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.

Combining heritage craftsmanship with modern precision, 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 delivering 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.

“The 588 has always meant something special to me because of how golfers embraced it,” Cleveland continued. “Seeing players build real trust in that wedge, leaning on it in the moments that matter most was unforgettable. And now a new generation will have a chance to experience that too.”

The Limited Edition 588 Tour Action Wedge stands as a tribute to one of the biggest pioneers in golf history Roger Cleveland and faithfully recreated with modern performance technology for today’s player.

The putters Fitzpatrick trusts on Tour, now available to golfers worldwide for the first time.

Tinley Park, Ill.,  — Bettinardi Golf announced the release of the BB1 Fitz Flow (BB1 FF) and the BB48 Fitz (BB48-F), two new putters based on the models Matt Fitzpatrick trusts on Tour, now making their way from the Tour truck to your bag for the first time.

Known for his meticulous approach to the game, Fitzpatrick has long prioritized face milling and roll characteristics in his putters. Earlier in his career, he relied on a specific groove profile that was no longer in production, leading him to search for a long-term solution that would meet his standards. Through a mutual connection, Sam Bettinardi reached out to Fitzpatrick’s camp to offer Bettinardi’s precision milling capabilities out of Tinley Park, Illinois. What followed was an extensive development process, with Bettinardi producing more than 30 prototypes until they achieved the exact look, feel, and face milling Fitzpatrick demanded.

The result is the Fitz Face, a semi-circular milling pattern engineered at the optimal tool size and depth to deliver his preferred feel and roll.

A 5-time PGA Tour winner and Major Champion, Fitzpatrick has also won the Valspar Championship, the RBC Heritage, and the Zurich Classic team event this season with his Bettinardi Tour putter in play. For the first time, golfers worldwide can access Fitzpatrick’s Tour-proven models and experience the setup behind one of the most dominant performances in the game.

Each model is one-piece milled from 303 Stainless Steel just outside Chicago, Ill. to 350 grams. Both incorporate Fitzpatrick’s preferred rolled topline and TourTone finish, a dual Black Armor and Diamond Blast combination paired with a thin sightline that provides contrast and a precise alignment reference at address.

The BB1 Fitz Flow (BB1 FF) is built on a classic blade profile with a thinner flange line and a flow neck, delivering moderate toe hang for players with a moderate arc in their stroke. The BB48 Fitz (BB48-F) applies those same standards to a symmetrical, face balanced mallet profile, featuring a spud neck with a double bend shaft that’s best suited to players with a straight-back, straight-through, or slight arc in their putting stroke.

“Fitzpatrick holds his equipment to an exceptionally high standard, and that’s exactly the standard we already work to every day in Tinley Park,” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “We’re proud that our craftsmanship is what he trusts on Tour, and now golfers everywhere get to experience putters built to reflect his standards.”

Both the BB1 Fitz Flow (BB1 FF) and the BB48 Fitz (BB48-F) will be available to order on Friday, May 8, 2026, at Bettinardi.com, Studio B Oak Brook, and select Authorized Retailers, with an MSRP of $550 each.

The zero-torque putting technology golfers trust, now available in the heel-shafted shapes they’ve been asking for 

TINLEY PARK, Ill., April 28, 2026 — Bettinardi Golf today announced the Limited Line Extension AntidoteHexperimental #7 and Hexperimental #9, the first heel-shafted putters ever built around the brand’s SimplyBalanced Zero-Torque Technology.

The Hexperimental #7 features a compact mallet profile with a ball-sized rectangular cutout that shifts massto the perimeter for added stability and alignment, while the Hexperimental #9 is a high-toe, traditional wide-body blade design. Both models share a modified plumber’s neck with minimal onset, delivering the look and feel of a traditional heel-shafted putter, now with zero torque.

 Since its introduction, Simply Balanced Technology has been limited to center-shafted designs. The Hexperimental #7 and #9 change that by aligning the shaft axis directly in line with the putter’s center of gravity, minimizing torque while achieving less onset. The result is a face that stays square through the stroke while preserving the classic heel-shafted putter profile.

Both models are precision-milled in-house from 303 Stainless Steel and feature Bettinardi’s re-engineered F.I.T.Face (Feel Impact Technology) milling, removing 30% of the face material to produce a soft, responsive feel at impact. Each putter comes paired with a matte black shaft and a Bettinardi Black Hex PU grip in jumbo or standard size. Both models are crafted with a Black Armor TPT finish on the topline and flange, with DistressedBlue accents on the face and sole.

“Simply Balanced over the last 18 months has been our most talked-about putter tech, but it’s only ever been available in center-shaft,” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “The Hexperimental #7 and #9opens that up to more players, with the same zero-torque advantage, on a design they are most familiar with, looking down at.”

The Hexperimental #7 and Hexperimental #9 will be available for pre-sale beginning April 28, 2026, at Bettinardi.com, Studio B Oak Brook, and select Authorized Retailers, with an MSRP of $550 each. The Hexperimental #9 is also available in a left-handed version.

Tour-Inspired Precision. Forged Feel. Built-In Forgiveness.

Scottsdale, AZ  – PXG has introduced new PXG® Stick’em Forged Wedges, a 100% forged lineup engineered to deliver exceptional feel and confident control from any lie. Designed with a clean, tour-inspired profile, the new wedges incorporate modern performance features including high-toe weighting, progressive center-of-gravity placement, and optimized groove spacing to promote consistent launch, stability, and spin throughout the set.

The new wedges are available now in Chrome ($199) and Xtreme Dark ($219) finishes.

Forged Feel. Modern Performance.

PXG Stick’em Wedges are precision-crafted from three-times forged 8620 soft carbon steel, a manufacturing process that refines the metal’s grain structure with each strike. This repeated forging compresses and aligns the material at a microscopic level, creating a tighter, more uniform structure that delivers a noticeably softer yet more solid feel at impact along with a crisp, satisfying sound. Beyond feel, the triple-forging process increases the material’s overall strength, helping grooves maintain their sharpness longer while preserving the club’s premium appearance over time. By shaping the clubhead through multiple forging stages before final finishing, PXG engineers also achieve tighter tolerances and exceptional consistency, ensuring every wedge performs as intended.

High-toe weighting increases the moment of inertia (MOI) and positions the center of gravity (CG) in line with open-face shots. This promotes a more consistent trajectory and predictable launch conditions across the face.

PXG’s high-performance groove geometry is engineered to maximize friction and consistency at impact. The grooves are wider, increasing the cross-sectional area, allowing the groove edges to engage the ball cover more effectively while channeling away grass, moisture, and debris. At the same time, tighter groove spacing increases the likelihood that an additional groove edge interacts with the ball during impact. The combination creates more reliable spin generation and improved trajectory control.

“The short game is where players either gain confidence or lose it,” said Mike Nicolette, PXG Senior Director of Engineering. “With Stick’em Forged Wedges, the goal was to give golfers a wedge that performs predictably shot after shot. The head stays stable when you open the face, the grooves generate reliable spin, and the forged construction delivers the soft feedback players rely on to judge distance and touch around the green. When a wedge reacts exactly the way a player expects, it frees them up to be more aggressive and creative.”

Two Sole Options.

Stick’em Forged Wedges are offered in two sole options, allowing players to match bounce and turf interaction to their swing and course conditions.

• BP-Grind (13° Bounce) – A wider, fuller sole delivers higher effective bounce, helping the club glide through turf and sand. Ideal for steeper attack angles and softer conditions.
• S-Grind (10° Bounce) – A tapered sole with heel and toe relief provides added versatility, allowing players to open the face and execute creative short-game shots from a variety of lies.

Stick’em Forged Wedges are available in 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60° lofts with multiple shaft and flex options to suit any swing. Lofts 54°–60° feature full-face grooves to expand the hitting area for open-face shots, while 50° and 52° models feature traditional grooves for full-swing control.

The new line of forged golf wedges is available now. Visit PXG.com, call 844.PLAY.PXG, or swing by PXG retail to learn more or book a custom wedge fitting.

This exclusive, generational technology will be present in the new SyrgeX and FlexurX lines

San Clemente, CA – KINETIXX Golf today announced the launch of SyrgeX and FlexurX, two next-generation wood shaft platforms built around Kevlar® EXO, the most significant advancement in aramid fiber technology in more than 50 years. KINETIXX is the only golf shaft manufacturer with exclusive access to Kevlar® EXO, pairing this breakthrough material with its utility-patented hybrid construction to deliver unprecedented strength, consistency, energy transfer, and feel. Beyond exclusive access, KINETIXX uniquely owns and controls the design, production, and commercialization of the proprietary unidirectional prepreg architectures used in these shafts, manufacturing the material itself rather than sourcing it externally. This vertically integrated capability allows KINETIXX to engineer performance at the material, fiber, and structural levels simultaneously, a feat no other golf shaft manufacturer can replicate.

“This launch represents far more than two new shafts,” said Jason Horodezky, CEO of KINETIXX. “We own the material science, the prepreg architecture, and the manufacturing process end to end. Because we actually produce the commercially viable unidirectional prepreg in-house, we can build performance into the shaft at a molecular level. There is no shortcut to that capability — and no other company in golf can make shafts like these.”

Kevlar® EXO is a copolymer aramid fiber engineered for extreme performance. It has been in development for 15 years and has expanded to other key applications such as crash-resistant fuel bladders for Formula One; protecting satellites, deployable structures, and spacecraft in space from orbital debris; and now looks to the sports world with best-in-class golf shafts. KINETIXX’s proprietary prepreg forms of Kevlar® EXO are not single-purpose solutions, but a scalable materials platform that will be deployed across future applications both within and beyond sporting goods, including advanced industrial systems and next-generation medical devices requiring controlled flexibility, fatigue resistance, and long-term structural reliability.

Compared to standard Kevlar®, it is approximately 30% stronger, 30% lighter, and 30% more flexible. That added ductility allows the material to absorb impact energy rather than fracture, which is essential in high-speed golf applications where carbon fiber alone can be brittle. By combining Kevlar® EXO (tension and impact absorption) with high-modulus carbon fiber (compression and stiffness), KINETIXX achieves a composite system that stores, controls, and releases energy more efficiently than any existing conventional shaft design. Because KINETIXX engineers and manufactures the prepreg material itself, these composite systems cannot be reverse-engineered or duplicated using conventional table-rolled or third-party-supplied materials.

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with KINETIXX on a project that brings together two innovation‑driven brands,” said Scott Janco, Kevlar® EXO Application Development. “By combining KINETIXX’s cutting‑edge approach to golf performance with the breakthrough power of Kevlar® EXO, we’re setting the stage for technology that can truly change the game.”

SyrgeX: Filament-Wound Precision, Vacuum-Cured Consistency

SyrgeX represents the most advanced execution of KINETIXX’s utility-patented hybrid construction. A 30T (0°) and 40T (45°) high-modulus carbon fiber core is paired with a homogeneous, circumferential filament-wound Kevlar® EXO exoskeleton, all vacuum-cured into a low-void, ultra-dense composite. The Kevlar® EXO filament and prepreg materials used in SyrgeX are produced exclusively by KINETIXX, enabling fiber placement, tension control, and material consistency unavailable to manufacturers relying on outsourced composite supply chains.

This architecture solves the long-standing trade-off between bending stiffness and torsional stability. The 0° fibers deliver elite linear strength and a stable kick profile, while the 45° fibers and Kevlar® EXO hoop layer dramatically resist twisting and ovaling under load. The result is a shaft that stays round, stays square, and recovers faster, even on high-speed or off-center strikes.

Key performance outcomes include:

• Pure kinetic energy transfer from reduced resin content and higher fiber volume.
• Spineless, concentric construction for ultra-tight dispersion.
• Reduced vibration and enhanced feel, as the Kevlar® EXO exoskeleton filters harsh, high-frequency impact shock.
• Exceptional durability and impact resistance without added weight.

SyrgeX is available for both drivers and fairway woods. This line is engineered for mid-to-high swing-speed players seeking bulletproof distance with bulletproof precision, delivering a high, stable kick point, low torque, and lower-mid launch/spin characteristics.

FlexurX: The Most Advanced Table-Rolled Shaft Ever Developed

FlexurX applies Kevlar® EXO innovation to a vacuum-cured, table-rolled platform, creating a shaft that redefines what is possible in traditional flag-wrapped construction. A 30T/40T high-modulus carbon fiber core is reinforced with a proprietary ultra-thin Kevlar® EXO unidirectional outer ply at 45°, precisely oriented for stability, loading, and recovery. This unidirectional Kevlar® EXO prepreg is wholly engineered and manufactured by KINETIXX, allowing exact control over fiber orientation, resin content, and ply thickness at a level not achievable through third-party materials.

This Kevlar® EXO exoskeleton acts as a structural safeguard, preventing deformation and ovaling during aggressive swings while adding elongation and vibration dampening that carbon fiber alone cannot provide. Vacuum curing eliminates irregularities like resin pockets, ensuring every FlexurX shaft is lighter, more consistent, and performs exactly as designed.

Performance benefits include:

• Higher ball speed through efficient energy transfer.
• Tighter dispersion and greater forgiveness on off-center hits.
• Smooth, solid feel with filtered vibration despite high stiffness.
• Broad playability across a wide range of clubhead speeds.

FlexurX is available for both drivers and fairway woods. This line is engineered for golfers who demand maximum stability, forgiveness, and efficiency without sacrificing feel — particularly players with moderate to fast swing speeds who want confidence on aggressive swings and protection on imperfect strikes. Designed for those who value tight dispersion, consistent ball speed, and smooth feedback, FlexurX is ideal for competitive amateurs, serious club golfers, and fit-focused players seeking reliability, playability, and tour-level consistency.

“Because we design and produce the prepreg material ourselves, FlexurX isn’t constrained by traditional manufacturing limits,” said Horodezky. “We can tune elongation, stability, and feel with a level of precision that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the market. These shafts aren’t iterations of what’s come before; they’re the result of a materials platform that will ultimately extend well beyond golf.”

Both SyrgeX and FlexurX are built on KINETIXX’s philosophy of material-first engineering: aligning fibers along calculated load paths, optimizing fiber angles and wall thickness by flex, and vacuum curing to achieve unmatched structural integrity. Unlike centerless-ground shafts, KINETIXX shafts are produced as true net parts, preserving concentricity and consistency from raw material to finished product.

With exclusive access to Kevlar® EXO and a proprietary hybrid construction process, KINETIXX has created not just new shafts, but a new performance category — one that combines strength, flexibility, durability, and feel in ways previously thought incompatible. These are shafts that cannot be copied, licensed, or reverse-engineered because no one else controls the material itself.

SyrgeX and FlexurX are now setting the standard for what a modern golf shaft can be: stronger, smarter, and engineered to protect and elevate every swing.
