Soles
Cleveland sells most lofts in several soles: Low, Mid, Full, and on newer models Low+ or Adapt. The sole name matters to buyers the way the grind does on a Vokey.

Some new RTZ wedges sold for less than used ones, which usually means retailers clearing stock. That can make new-in-wrapper RTZs a good buy to flip.
