What the differences mean
The RTZ 2 offers the wider selection: 24 loft/bounce/grind combinations against 20 for the RTZ. The RTZ 2 also has the deeper grind catalogue: 5 sole grinds against 4.
Loft coverage is identical: both run 46° to 64° and are sold at the same 10 degrees.
The scoring lofts are where bounce and grind choice matters most: at 56° the RTZ 2 offers 4 options to 3; at 58° the RTZ 2 offers 5 options to 4; at 60° the RTZ 2 offers 5 options to 4. More options at a degree means more ways to match the sole to your turf and swing, which is what a wedge fitting actually selects.
The RTZ 2 arrived 1 year after the RTZ as its replacement. Wedge generations usually carry over the core loft ladder and adjust the grind catalogue, groove spec and finishes, so the older model is the value buy while stock lasts — the trade-off is the newer grooves, which matter more the more you play.
Which should you choose?
The RTZ 2 is the newer generation, so it carries the current groove spec and the fuller retail availability; the RTZ is the value buy while closeout and used stock lasts. The option chart above is the tiebreaker — if the exact loft, bounce and grind you play is only in one of them, that decides it.
Both option charts are reproduced in full on their own pages: Cleveland RTZ specs and Cleveland RTZ 2 specs.
