Only one round in with the CBX 52 degree wedge. After a couple more rounds, will decide if I want to match it with a 58 degree.
My wedges were probably the oldest clubs in the bag, bag longevity wise. They were Cleveland Zip Groove wedges from 5+ years ago. I've carried a 52/58 combo quite a while. Haven't been displeased with the current wedges, though they were getting pretty worn. And, when you get handed a new wedge FREE....
Right off the bat noticed the additional bite from the CBX. This could well be due to the wear on the existing wedges. Still, I don't remember the current wedges ever grabbing like this one.
The 52 degree fits in as a gap wedge. The wide flange and slightly larger face gives you the confidence for a full swing or allows easy half-swing chips. Once I got used to the added bite, was putting chip shots right next to the pin.
These wedges are NOT for everyone. If you are used to lots of finagling of wedges... laying open for flop shots, etc... you may not get along with these. Yet, if you just want a wedge where you can point it at a target and put the ball there, this one worked well for me.
Will add experiences as more rounds are enjoyed with the CBX.
