I've been using Cleveland wedges for years. I have a RTX3 56* mid bounce and a RTX 2.0 62* low bounce that I'm about to upgrade to an RTX4 with the same specs. Best wedges on the market, imho.
I bought the 56. After years of playing blades, I switched a few years ago to more forgiving irons, due to reduced play. Using the same reasoning, I bought the 56 degree CBX2. I really love it. My short game has really improved, probably more due to confidence. Looking down on it, it looks great, not too big and looks like a legit wedge.
I purchased original CBX wedges in 48, 52, 56, and 60 best purchase I ever made only irons in my bag I can completely control made huge difference in my game bought them based on Marks original review of the wedges thanks Mark.
Just bought a 50• CBX2 as a gap wedge at the recommendation of my fitter. I currently game Cleveland 56• and 60• wedges and wanted a gap for more full shots. So far, this is working great and looks and feels very similar to my other wedges!

Got them June 20 and have played two rounds. 50/54/58 and sensational results. Spin even from rough is amazing and the feel is amazing and getting the distances I need for different shots. My pal asked me if they were legal as his jaw dropped observing the stop and spin. Best wedges I have ever used.
I’m planning on trying them out,I’m a high handicapped golfer who just started playing this year and I’m having a blast playing. I could really use all the help I could get. The hand me down wedge I have now is hurting more than helping
Just starting out, trying to improve my game. Or more accurately trying to create a game. These wedges seem ideal for me, as I’m a huge one for needing the confidence they could help with. I’m really appreciating all the tips and info, getting me more and more informed, every day. Cheers fellas!
Been gaming the cbx original wedges now for just over a year. Love them. Why on earth wouldn’t mid handicappers prefer a forgiving club. Leave the ego at home. Great video lads.
I have the CBX1. Love it for its forgiveness, looks and confidence it gives me. Definitely had fewer ‘chunks’ with my chipping. Highly recommended from this golfer.
Playing Cleveland wedge's for a long time now. As I don't play as often as I like, forgiveness is key to me. I think this will tick the box for my game.
Club Champion added this to my Titleist Iron set - same shaft for all my irons - I am really impressed with this club - automatic out of the sand - great looks and super performance.
I love these wedges. I was fitted for gapping. Went from 52 56 60 I'm the bag to 48, 54, 58. Broke 80 twice since purchase having never done before. My shot tracking shows that these clubs are getting me closer to the flag on approach shots, which is lowering my putts per round. Lovely!
I like that you are testing this. I’m off 13 and I moved from the Vokey wedges to the CBX (from last year). I changed because I like the idea of the forgiveness of the cavity back, versus the more blades Vokey. Even though I play the P790 irons. I like this new wedge you got there!
Great review. Was fitted for volkeys indoors on a mat, but never had success gaming them. Then I started buying used wedges at diff lofts/grinds and bounces just to test them out on the course. I ended up settling on Cleveland CBX'S and love them. Have 52/56/60 degrees... I can lob my CBX 60 over a bunker at 30yds without hesitation......lol
Great video! As a player who lives on an Island and plays at a course where there are not that many opportunities to get fitted for clubs, the “buy off the shelf” has to be my regular way of acquiring new clubs. As someone who is in need of new wedges, I would love to try one of these new CBX2. Thank you and keep up the good content!
You hit the nail right on the head Mark, we don't all have the luxury of being able to take clubs out on the course to play and test (which is a great shame) so we have to go by reviews like yours (the people we trust) and hit them in a studio which is something I personally find difficult, especially with wedges. It looks to me as though Cleveland have done a great job for the majority of players and good on em! I'll be trying the sand and lob version to go with my new Cobra F9's as soon as possible. Great review as always boy's.
My dad uses the previous model in two of his wedge and his full shots and short game has only gotten better with time...I’ve tested and played with it myself and definitely enjoyed using it...
Hi Mark, I currently game the RTX4 50 degree Cleveland wedge and would like to add this one to the bag as well. Plus knowing it comes from you guys is an added bonus.
I love Cleveland and other companies for doing this for golfers who need that little extra help at this end of their bag..... on my radar to test in the spring. Thanks Mark, Dan and Couch. Keep the reviews coming.
Another important aspect to make wedge players easier is a shaft choice. Can you comment on this. My current Mizuno S5 wedges have the XP-95 R300 shafts to match my irons. Most wedges have a very stiff shaft which might be good for faster harder hitting players but not good for slower swing speeds like seniors and ladies.
Hi Mark, another reason that people don't get fitted that you haven't touched on is the second hand club market, I've bought several second hand clubs and as a result fitting wasn't an option. Would love a shiny new 60 degree wedge I wasn't fitted for either to go with um!
Liked the idea of these as soon as I heard about them. Finally got to try them outside. Results were so-so. Wedges these days come with steel, "wedge flex" shafts. These have a very harsh feel for me and I get no launch and no distance. So I just change the shafts to a graphite, lite flex shaft which matches my irons and get the distance, height and feel I like. Might try that with a CBX2.
I know this is an older thread, but my 2 cents on these wedges. I started with the Smart Sole chipper and sand wedge. I moved to the CBX2 54 and 60 as my game improved. I have been very pleased with my decision. I can play a variety of shots using the 54 and 60. Bunkers don't scare me anymore. I can de-loft or add loft depending on what I need to do. I find them very forgiving but they're not going to fix a bad strike completely. I play a mid level urethane ball, which also makes a huge difference for me. I'm a real fan of Cleveland products.
Mark, I am currently gaming the CBX2 in 52 degree. One thing to note about the game improvement market is that golfers such as myself that choose these wedges are willing to pay more. When I walked into my golf retailer I could buy my normal Callaway Mac Daddy 4 at a price of $109.00 regardless of loft, I could buy the Titlist Vokey SM7 for $109.00, and the same price for the Cleveland RTx4, but my 52 degree CBX2 was $139.00 if I wanted a 60 degree it was $149.00. For the last few years I have played the evolving line of Callaway wedges and currently have 54 degree and 58 degree Mac Daddy III in my bag. I play Southern California courses from Long Beach to San Diego. As I looked to start replacing my wedges I tested a range, and it came down to the Ping 2.0 and the Cleveland CBX2. Well the Ping would have been less expensive, I preferred the turf interaction of the CBX2, well still being a wedge I could open up. I don't have many rounds on it yet, but it does give me confidence the ball will get up. I like the weight and feel. My next round I will be testing it with a new innovation the Callaway Magna oversized ball. I wasn't looking for a new ball, but my playing partner 10.2 rating said I had to give it a go. First reaction out of the box not good, 3 of the 12 balls had imperfections. With the CBX2's large head, forgiving properties I look forward to see how they do together. It is one thing for you to test the clubs but for those of us higher handicap players who used to be better than we are today the help is worthwhile. Long gone are my days of persimmon headed woods, and blade style irons. I accepted a larger head on my driver just as I did on my tennis racket, hybrids replacing irons, and cavity backed irons replacing blades and muscle backs. Now I am dumping the traditional wedge for one that gives me the help of engineering. diabetic nephropathy in hands and legs and a bad back mean my strokes are less about feel and more about process. I will take all the help I can get. You need a high handicapper to compare these clubs.
I used to play the old RTX CB’s a few years ago, and it was the best my Wedge game ever was. I started getting better at the game, switched to more blades, and have been up and down ever since. I am seriously considering putting these in da bag for 2020. I was playing with one in my local store, and was pleased how nice it felt. My wife needs her CG16’s replaced as well, might be a lot of Cleveland in the future of our household.
I really like this wedge. I am a true 10 handicap at the moment. I play AP3 irons down to P wedge which is 43 degrees. I have this wedge in a 48 degree and play the RTX4 54 degree then a Taylormade High Toe 60. For me each wedge gives me what I am looking for in my game. I love having all the options.
My current handicap index is 11.2. I have the original CBX wedges from last year (52 and 56 degree) and absolutely love them! Very easy to control and forgiving on the full wedge shots, and plenty of spin around the greens.
Glad to see a review of these wedges. I’m a higher handicapped golfer and I think this design would suit my game. I’m looking to add one of these to my bag.
I would love this in my bag , i started playing golf at the start of the year. I bought a set of Mizuno MP 59 blades second hand, and then realized i wasnt good enough to play them. I watch a review you guys did on Mizuno JPX919 hot metal and bought them and haven't looked back 👍👍👍 Now please sort my slice with the driver out 🙏🙏😂😂😂
I picked up a Cleveland RTX 4 60 wedge as my first non-iron set wedge and after some practice have seen a lot of improvement out of the sand. Been looking into getting a 54 to bridge between my 60 and gap.
Mark another great review. I was fitted for Titleist Wedges, which I get on very well with. You always offer an unbiased opinion on golf equipment, which I like and respect.
I'm a Callaway guy. I've been playing "bladed wedges" MD 3 50* and MD Forged in 54* & 58*. I recently added a 46* MD3 wedge after watching your video on pitching wedge or special wedge and couldn't be happier. I was able to maintain the same carry distance with lower trajectory and more spin. And it's also is more handy around the greens. But I do think these CBX2's are interesting in that they're is game improvement in these, but look pretty classic at address.
Another solid review team! I'm actually playing with three different brand wedges for three different lofts, one of which is a Cleveland. Others are a Vokey and TMade. The Cleveland i would say gives me the most confidence for full shots closer to 100 yards, compared to the vokey I prefer for around the greens. Not sure if this is normal or not?
I play the CBX 1.0 in 52 and 56. They have really changed my short game! Far fewer mishits around the greens and can still open it up and flop it when I want to. My favorite thing about them is they still resemble my Vokeys or 588.
I play the original CBX wedges in 50, 54 and 58 degrees. They replaced the Mizuno S18 wedges that I had problems with playing consistently. I've found the CBX wedges to be much more forgiving and consistent for my 8.5 index game. My irons are Mizuno 919 Hot Metals so these blend well. I highly recommend them if "standard" blade wedges are not performing for you.
Love Cleveland wedges...have always gamed them. Not sure if I love the look of the cavity back wedge, but if the results are good then i would probably game it.
Keep the videos going Mark. Just purchased 4 thru pw AP3 irons. Looking at wedges. That Cleveland wedge will be a great addition. It kinda blends with the AP3's.
I would definitely like to try these -- I'm awful greenside and concentrate using wedges for approaches. I desperately need lessons greenside in the bunker, in the rough...
My daughter put Callaway's Sure out wedge this past year and her pitching improved overnight. Considering adding the Cleveland or possibly TM Bigfoot to my bag so thanks for this video!
Hey Mark in your review of the original CBX wedges you was very positive with them. Seem a little less impressed with this newer model and particular reason?
Great vid Mark! I always hit the thumbs up button because you absolutely deserve it. All your content is spot on. As far as the wedge, No thank you. I am a Mack Daddy kinda guy (totally a Callaway fan boy here). But I would like to know why don't they put a graphite shaft on wedges or putters. I see the metal shafts on my md4s and my putter and I roll my eyes.
That is a nice looking wedge. I currently only go down to a 56 degree wedge ( my wedges are part of the set ). Cleveland definitely make nice clubs. I was fitted for my set and the fitter wanted me to buy aftermarket wedges which I did. Couldn't hit them like I wanted to, so went back and purchased the ones with the set. Much better results. Wish I could have tried both before I purchased.
I bought a 54 degree CBX2 and just received it for this past weekend on the golf course and I also took it back to the driving range the next day. I noticed right away that it is significantly lighter than my Ping G irons and my 60 degree Taylormade bigfoot Hi-Toe wedge. I can hit it well as a full wedge and half wedge, but found it more difficult to use around the green. My Bigfoot wedge is great for all those shots around the green and is a very heavy wedge with a large sole. Maybe I just need more practice with it, but the weight being so much lighter caused me to lose some touch and feel around the green. Full to half shots are where I plan on using it.
Love the idea of these, not sure why necessarily, but as we are always learning we are the main factor in our golf swing and sometimes an idea is all it takes. Thanks guys, always good stuff.
i play a CBX 50, 54 and 60 deg, and I really love them - give me loads of confidence on full shots, and allow me to attempt to be subtle. Although I'm not too great at the old subtlety, with my 16 handicap...
Honestly not sure I would have considered this wedge prior to viewing the video. Next time I'm in the golf shop, I'll give it a swing. As always, your review was extremely helpful.
Ive been gaming vokey wedges for years but have always struggled with consistency with my 50 gap so ive recently changed it to a cbx 50 and its definitely helped i now feel happy in front of the ball, i like the look of the club and have also changed my 54 and 60 both to Cleveland, 54 is now a rtx3 cb and 60 588 blade.
I play the CBX irons and wedges. They work really well and I appreciate the similarities between the irons and the wedges. It makes things easier. I also like how you get the lofts on all of my Cleveland irons and wedges, it makes picking the right club out very easy.
Currently took golf back up again, I checked out these wedges and they look good. I currently use a Dunlop 60 wedge and for how often you use a 60 wedge are these worth over £100, I would love to know the real benefits / comparison from a personal experience
I tried ' proper ' specialist wedges and couldn't get on with them so I only use my chunky pw and sw from my set and have huge gaps at the bottom of my bag. I'd love to give these a go and see if they can help my chipping. 👍
Have been gaming 54 and 60 CBX wedges for 18 months, bought them off the shelf and have generally been pleased with them. I use cavity backed irons so it seemed like the obvious way to go.
Had a CBX2 58 Rotex graphite for quite a while and always found it great as long as I did my stuff! Paired this week with CBX Zipcore 46 and 52 also Rotex. Absolutely love them. So much control and spin. I would say marginally Zipcore is better but nothing in it.
This season I've gamed cbx wedge 50 and 56. I'm keeping the 50 and going for more specialized 56 and 60. I'm a lefty so If I win this I giving it to a friend, he needs this kind of wedge
Mark, I love all your videos and would love this wedge. Thanks so much! I have improved so much because is the concepts you explain. Thanks again braaah
Great video Mark. I think the market for this club might be for people who are learning their short game without the help of professional lessons and this "all rounder" might be the first addition to their 5 iron to sand wedge iron set.
I currently game the CBX (previous version) in 54 degree and I really like this club. Not sure if there is a big difference between the CBX and CBX2 if there are any. Would love to put this club in my bag. Thanks for all the content!!!
Interesting concept of a cavity back wedge. I do not hit a lot of full specialty wedge shots.I wonder, does it really help for partial shots and pitching and chipping?

What wedges do you have in your golf bag?
Mark Crossfield currently SM6. I play AP1 and struggle with a toe-y miss often with my wedges on 80-120 yard shots. Would love to try these.
Ping i15 pw and Gorge 52 ss & 56 ws + Chico Miartuz Tomahawk 60
I've been using Cleveland wedges for years. I have a RTX3 56* mid bounce and a RTX 2.0 62* low bounce that I'm about to upgrade to an RTX4 with the same specs. Best wedges on the market, imho.
Got a 50 and 54 Mizuno s5 and an MD3 PM Grind 60
Callaway Apex Pro PW (46), GW (50), then Callaway PM Grind (54/14) and (58/10)
I bought the 56. After years of playing blades, I switched a few years ago to more forgiving irons, due to reduced play. Using the same reasoning, I bought the 56 degree CBX2. I really love it. My short game has really improved, probably more due to confidence. Looking down on it, it looks great, not too big and looks like a legit wedge.
I purchased original CBX wedges in 48, 52, 56, and 60 best purchase I ever made only irons in my bag I can completely control made huge difference in my game bought them based on Marks original review of the wedges thanks Mark.
Just bought a 50• CBX2 as a gap wedge at the recommendation of my fitter. I currently game Cleveland 56• and 60• wedges and wanted a gap for more full shots. So far, this is working great and looks and feels very similar to my other wedges!
Got them June 20 and have played two rounds. 50/54/58 and sensational results. Spin even from rough is amazing and the feel is amazing and getting the distances I need for different shots. My pal asked me if they were legal as his jaw dropped observing the stop and spin. Best wedges I have ever used.
Been playing the original CBX wedges and irons for a couple years, love them
I’m planning on trying them out,I’m a high handicapped golfer who just started playing this year and I’m having a blast playing. I could really use all the help I could get. The hand me down wedge I have now is hurting more than helping
Have the been playing Cleveland Wedges for a long time and never been disappointed
Just starting out, trying to improve my game. Or more accurately trying to create a game.
These wedges seem ideal for me, as I’m a huge one for needing the confidence they could help with.
I’m really appreciating all the tips and info, getting me more and more informed, every day.

Been gaming the cbx original wedges now for just over a year. Love them. Why on earth wouldn’t mid handicappers prefer a forgiving club. Leave the ego at home. Great video lads.
Anything that makes our great game easier, gets the thumbs up from me. I'd give these a shot if I was looking for a new wedge set
I have the CBX1. Love it for its forgiveness, looks and confidence it gives me. Definitely had fewer ‘chunks’ with my chipping. Highly recommended from this golfer.

I have a friend who plays the CBX original wedges since he plays Ping G irons and wanted a match in appearance and absolutely loves them.
Club Champion added this to my Titleist Iron set - same shaft for all my irons - I am really impressed with this club - automatic out of the sand - great looks and super performance.
I currently game a 50,54 and 58 Cleveland CBX....love them. Would 100% go to the CBX2 when time to get new ones.
I love these wedges. I was fitted for gapping. Went from 52 56 60 I'm the bag to 48, 54, 58. Broke 80 twice since purchase having never done before. My shot tracking shows that these clubs are getting me closer to the flag on approach shots, which is lowering my putts per round. Lovely!
I am looking at these wedges. Currently hit game improvement irons and these make sense for my game.
I like that you are testing this. I’m off 13 and I moved from the Vokey wedges to the CBX (from last year). I changed because I like the idea of the forgiveness of the cavity back, versus the more blades Vokey. Even though I play the P790 irons. I like this new wedge you got there!
Bought some of these for my granddaughter she loves them. She is a good High School golfer

I play off 10 and use the previous version - and love them. Better results than any of the "players" wedges I've used over the years.

Great review as always boy's.
Been going back and forth between normal wedges and RTX CB 3. Not sure if it makes much difference, but helps with confidence.
I've got the CBX wedges in 54 & 58 and i'm definitely looking at upgrading with these. I really like what ive got but their a couple of years old now.
As a new golfer now looking to buy wedges this was a very helpful review...
I'm a high handicapper and use a Cleveland smartsole sand wedge. I would definitely use this wedge. Keep up the good content!
My dad uses the previous model in two of his wedge and his full shots and short game has only gotten better with time...I’ve tested and played with it myself and definitely enjoyed using it...
Hi Mark, I currently game the RTX4 50 degree Cleveland wedge and would like to add this one to the bag as well. Plus knowing it comes from you guys is an added bonus.
I love Cleveland and other companies for doing this for golfers who need that little extra help at this end of their bag..... on my radar to test in the spring. Thanks Mark, Dan and Couch. Keep the reviews coming.
Game the CBX and the CBX2 wedges, Always loved the Cleveland quality and these offer a nice feel and forgiveness that I look for in my wedges.

Hi Mark, another reason that people don't get fitted that you haven't touched on is the second hand club market, I've bought several second hand clubs and as a result fitting wasn't an option. Would love a shiny new 60 degree wedge I wasn't fitted for either to go with um!
testing wedges inside and outside is vital! Totally agree.
Liked the idea of these as soon as I heard about them. Finally got to try them outside. Results were so-so. Wedges these days come with steel, "wedge flex" shafts. These have a very harsh feel for me and I get no launch and no distance.

I play the original cbx and it transformed my short game, love the sole from all lies and really confident over all shots
I’ve got the previous cbx wedges in 50, 56 and 60 degree and love them completely.
I have the CBX first versions. Love them- blends in much better in feel and swing weight than the CG10 they replaced.
Mark, I am currently gaming the CBX2 in 52 degree. One thing to note about the game improvement market is that golfers such as myself that choose these wedges are willing to pay more. When I walked into my golf retailer I could buy my normal Callaway Mac Daddy 4 at a price of $109.00 regardless of loft, I could buy the Titlist Vokey SM7 for $109.00, and the same price for the Cleveland RTx4, but my 52 degree CBX2 was $139.00 if I wanted a 60 degree it was $149.00.

It is one thing for you to test the clubs but for those of us higher handicap players who used to be better than we are today the help is worthwhile. Long gone are my days of persimmon headed woods, and blade style irons. I accepted a larger head on my driver just as I did on my tennis racket, hybrids replacing irons, and cavity backed irons replacing blades and muscle backs. Now I am dumping the traditional wedge for one that gives me the help of engineering. diabetic nephropathy in hands and legs and a bad back mean my strokes are less about feel and more about process. I will take all the help I can get. You need a high handicapper to compare these clubs.
Great sounding club. Was the previous cdx wedge a success ? and is there much difference.?
Super stuff - makes sense to me, translating manufacturers marketing to actually helping amateurs make an informed choice
I used to play the old RTX CB’s a few years ago, and it was the best my Wedge game ever was. I started getting better at the game, switched to more blades, and have been up and down ever since. I am seriously considering putting these in da bag for 2020. I was playing with one in my local store, and was pleased how nice it felt.

I really like this wedge. I am a true 10 handicap at the moment. I play AP3 irons down to P wedge which is 43 degrees. I have this wedge in a 48 degree and play the RTX4 54 degree then a Taylormade High Toe 60. For me each wedge gives me what I am looking for in my game. I love having all the options.
My current handicap index is 11.2. I have the original CBX wedges from last year (52 and 56 degree) and absolutely love them! Very easy to control and forgiving on the full wedge shots, and plenty of spin around the greens.
Glad to see a review of these wedges. I’m a higher handicapped golfer and I think this design would suit my game. I’m looking to add one of these to my bag.
I have original Glide 54 and 58 ES Sole wedges. Are the CBX2 better than the original CBX wedge? Excellent video as usual.
Playing the first generation. Really happy. It‘s all about confidence!
Sacrificed one of my woods for a 5th wedge in my bag. Improved my short game a lot.
I have hit many brands of wedges but I come back to Cleveland wedges. There always seem to be one in my bag. Consistent Quality
Would be very keen to try this. Got 4,5,6 in the irons and love them. Yes I’m also under 40 and a single handicapper!
I have The Srixon 585/785 combo set with the CBX 2 wedges in 50, 56 & 60. Great for my game and for what I want to see.
Some very good comments, thank you.
What about your views on the very limited shaft options/flex?
I would love this in my bag , i started playing golf at the start of the year. I bought a set of Mizuno MP 59 blades second hand, and then realized i wasnt good enough to play them. I watch a review you guys did on Mizuno JPX919 hot metal and bought them and haven't looked back 👍👍👍
Now please sort my slice with the driver out 🙏🙏😂😂😂
I picked up a Cleveland RTX 4 60 wedge as my first non-iron set wedge and after some practice have seen a lot of improvement out of the sand. Been looking into getting a 54 to bridge between my 60 and gap.
Mark another great review. I was fitted for Titleist Wedges, which I get on very well with. You always offer an unbiased opinion on golf equipment, which I like and respect.
I think it’s a great addition to the world of wedges and gives us golfers even more options. Would love to try it!
I'm a Callaway guy. I've been playing "bladed wedges" MD 3 50* and MD Forged in 54* & 58*.

I play the CBX 1.0 in 52 and 56. They have really changed my short game! Far fewer mishits around the greens and can still open it up and flop it when I want to. My favorite thing about them is they still resemble my Vokeys or 588.
I play the original CBX wedges in 52° & 56° they helped my short game as I'm a high handicaper I'm looking into getting a 60° after this great review
The concept is nice. I wonder for a 52 or 50 degree wedge if a little thicker sole could be better for my game.
Like this idea, how much will the bounce play into the forgiveness of a wedge?
I play the original CBX wedges in 50, 54 and 58 degrees. They replaced the Mizuno S18 wedges that I had problems with playing consistently. I've found the CBX wedges to be much more forgiving and consistent for my 8.5 index game. My irons are Mizuno 919 Hot Metals so these blend well. I highly recommend them if "standard" blade wedges are not performing for you.
Love Cleveland wedges...have always gamed them. Not sure if I love the look of the cavity back wedge, but if the results are good then i would probably game it.
Keep the videos going Mark. Just purchased 4 thru pw AP3 irons. Looking at wedges. That Cleveland wedge will be a great addition. It kinda blends with the AP3's.
I would definitely like to try these -- I'm awful greenside and concentrate using wedges for approaches. I desperately need lessons greenside in the bunker, in the rough...
My daughter put Callaway's Sure out wedge this past year and her pitching improved overnight. Considering adding the Cleveland or possibly TM Bigfoot to my bag so thanks for this video!
I'm looking at investing in specialist wedges but have little confidence in my short game so like the idea of a wedge that makes things easier
I play the CBX wedges and I really like them. I’ve found distance control easier with them than the bladed wedges I’d tried previously
Hey Mark in your review of the original CBX wedges you was very positive with them. Seem a little less impressed with this newer model and particular reason?
Great vid Mark! I always hit the thumbs up button because you absolutely deserve it. All your content is spot on. As far as the wedge, No thank you. I am a Mack Daddy kinda guy (totally a Callaway fan boy here). But I would like to know why don't they put a graphite shaft on wedges or putters. I see the metal shafts on my md4s and my putter and I roll my eyes.
I use the CBX 54 and 58 degree wedges and like them a lot. My 54 is my favorite.
That is a nice looking wedge. I currently only go down to a 56 degree wedge ( my wedges are part of the set ). Cleveland definitely make nice clubs. I was fitted for my set and the fitter wanted me to buy aftermarket wedges which I did. Couldn't hit them like I wanted to, so went back and purchased the ones with the set. Much better results. Wish I could have tried both before I purchased.
Not sure about spending the money on equipment I’m not sure will help my game, but I’m intrigued about these golf wedges!
I bought a 54 degree CBX2 and just received it for this past weekend on the golf course and I also took it back to the driving range the next day. I noticed right away that it is significantly lighter than my Ping G irons and my 60 degree Taylormade bigfoot Hi-Toe wedge. I can hit it well as a full wedge and half wedge, but found it more difficult to use around the green. My Bigfoot wedge is great for all those shots around the green and is a very heavy wedge with a large sole. Maybe I just need more practice with it, but the weight being so much lighter caused me to lose some touch and feel around the green. Full to half shots are where I plan on using it.
Love the idea of these, not sure why necessarily, but as we are always learning we are the main factor in our golf swing and sometimes an idea is all it takes. Thanks guys, always good stuff.
i play a CBX 50, 54 and 60 deg, and I really love them - give me loads of confidence on full shots, and allow me to attempt to be subtle. Although I'm not too great at the old subtlety, with my 16 handicap...
Honestly not sure I would have considered this wedge prior to viewing the video. Next time I'm in the golf shop, I'll give it a swing. As always, your review was extremely helpful.
I like the idea of the chunkier hollow wedge myself, give ppl lil more confidence like you said with their wedges. I like it.
Ive been gaming vokey wedges for years but have always struggled with consistency with my 50 gap so ive recently changed it to a cbx 50 and its definitely helped i now feel happy in front of the ball, i like the look of the club and have also changed my 54 and 60 both to Cleveland, 54 is now a rtx3 cb and 60 588 blade.
I play the CBX irons and wedges. They work really well and I appreciate the similarities between the irons and the wedges. It makes things easier. I also like how you get the lofts on all of my Cleveland irons and wedges, it makes picking the right club out very easy.
I currently play an older Cleveland CG16 wedge. Always liked their wedges. Terrific video. Yes do another with mishits.
Currently took golf back up again, I checked out these wedges and they look good. I currently use a Dunlop 60 wedge and for how often you use a 60 wedge are these worth over £100, I would love to know the real benefits / comparison from a personal experience
I tried ' proper ' specialist wedges and couldn't get on with them so I only use my chunky pw and sw from my set and have huge gaps at the bottom of my bag.
I'd love to give these a go and see if they can help my chipping. 👍
Looks good. I’m intrigued by what you say about it feeling lighter. I would expect a “higher MOI” club to be heavier, so that comment suprised me.
Love these wedges. Great confidence boosters for duffers. I appreciate the serious consideration. Cheers.
Have been gaming 54 and 60 CBX wedges for 18 months, bought them off the shelf and have generally been pleased with them. I use cavity backed irons so it seemed like the obvious way to go.
Had a CBX2 58 Rotex graphite for quite a while and always found it great as long as I did my stuff!
Paired this week with CBX Zipcore 46 and 52 also Rotex. Absolutely love them. So much control and spin. I would say marginally Zipcore is better but nothing in it.
This season I've gamed cbx wedge 50 and 56. I'm keeping the 50 and going for more specialized 56 and 60.
I'm a lefty so If I win this I giving it to a friend, he needs this kind of wedge
I had a CG 16. And really enjoyed it. I would totally game this wedge
Mark, I love all your videos and would love this wedge. Thanks so much! I have improved so much because is the concepts you explain. Thanks again braaah
Great video Mark. I think the market for this club might be for people who are learning their short game without the help of professional lessons and this "all rounder" might be the first addition to their 5 iron to sand wedge iron set.
Currently have the Mack Daddy 4 wedges but looking to change to a Cavity back wedge to add some consistency to my high handicap ways.
I play srixon z585 iron's which finish at 50 degrees A wedge. I'm pleased with your review as I will be trying this wedge. Thanks for your efforts.
Nice to see a simplified grind approach.
I currently game the CBX (previous version) in 54 degree and I really like this club. Not sure if there is a big difference between the CBX and CBX2 if there are any. Would love to put this club in my bag. Thanks for all the content!!!
Interesting concept of a cavity back wedge. I do not hit a lot of full specialty wedge shots.I wonder, does it really help for partial shots and pitching and chipping?
Have the cbx 1 in 54 and 60 and they’re great. It’s an option that more mid/high handicappers should use with there cavity irons.
