Each cell lists bounce and grind options on file for that loft; retailers and fitters may carry more.
The Ping S259 and the Cleveland RTZ split on where the fitting options sit. The S259 covers 46° to 62° across 9 lofts and puts its depth into sole shapes, with 6 grinds (B, E, H, S, T and W) and bounce from 6° to 14°. That suits a golfer who knows how they deliver the club and wants a sole built for it. The RTZ covers 46° to 64° across 11 lofts, with 4 grinds (Adapt, Full, Low and Mid) and bounce from 4° to 12°. The extra lofts make gapping easier, and the 4° options reach lower than anything Ping offers here. The RTZ is also the one tagged Forged, Progressive Lofts and Variable Face Thickness. The S259 is the newer design, 2026 against 2025.
At $149.99 against $217.5 per wedge, the Cleveland RTZ costs $67.51 less, and as the older model it is the one more likely to be discounted. Pick the RTZ if price, loft gapping or a forged head matter most. Pick the Ping S259 if sole fit matters more than price, because six grinds and the higher bounce ceiling give you more ways to match the wedge to your swing and your turf. Neither choice is wrong. The question is whether grind variety is worth the extra money to you.
