Cleveland CBX 4 Zipcore Wedge 56 Sb

Having bought a new Zipcore iron set, these wedges were added to give a full spread from PW to LW and to match my new irons. The clubs perform great, any issues are past the shaft end of the club and not with the club its-self. Feel is good, distance control and separation between my 4 lofts of 48, 52, 56 and 60 degrees are perfect. Very please and

Cleveland wedges are the best in the business, as everyone knows. The ability to have a 12 degree bounce on a 60 degree wedge is great and critical to the short game when greens are super fast. Most 60 degree wedges have a 10 degree bounce and the 56 normally has the 12 degree bounce, but a higher loft on short sides shots is essential. Cleveland provides and performs.

I play the CBX 2 52° and I love it. But since that model, these wedges have been getting heavier and heavier and the leading "edge" has gotten ridiculously round. I see why this might high handicaps, but the leading edge in the CBX 4 is practically unplayable. The CBX and CBX 2 had the V-Sole, which I love. But in this latest model they've added another surface under the leading edge, creating a sort of double V-sole (I guess that's a W-Sole). The problem with this is that it lifts the leading edge even FURTHER off the ground - for a wedge that already has an enormous sole. So you can't even play shots properly with the face square, at least not without moving your hands way forward and manipulating it - which defeats the whole purpose of the easy-to-use wedge.

I appreciate that I am not really the target buyer for this club, but the CBX 2 is a near-perfect design. All the forgiveness and consistency on full shots, but you could play plenty of different shots around the greens with it around the greens, from a lot of lies. This latest iteration seems to be designed solely to hit full or nearly full shots to a green from pretty lush conditions or rough. And they're heavy. Every one I've tried has been at least 3 swing weights heavier than my CBX at the same length with the same DG 115 shaft. I could see a 60° wedge feeling a little heavy - but not a 52°.On the positive side, it's great for full shots and long pitches from soft conditions - it hits the same consistent flight window as all the CBX wedges do that I've played - and distance control is just a breeze with these wedges. It feels good, and I like the design of the back.Get that leading edge back hugging the ground a little more on the next model and lighten it up, so I can get some new wedges - I'm wearing out the grooves on my CBX 2s!
