Why We Like It
In 2017, Cleveland said that because 84 percent of everyday golfers were playing cavity-back irons, it made little sense to play with a wedge that didn’t match the rest of the irons in the bag. That led to the development of the wider-soled, cavity-back CBX wedge. Since then, the line has built on the original premise, adding more features along the way. The latest is the introduction of a loft-dependent face finish that increases friction at impact and combines with sharper, tighter spaced grooves for more spin.

Reviews
Exceptional in the sand. Wide sole makes it easy to use the bounce and get the ball out. I didn't have to manipulate the club to make it work for me.
Thomas, 59, Handicap: 7Nice, simplistic look. Easy to work from the bunker. Able to hit low and high shots, as well as shots that spin or roll out. Ball responds well on greenside shots.
Alejandra, 25, Handicap: 5Has a comfortable cavity-back look. The sole glides through the grass, helping to generate plenty of spin. The ball checks quickly. I can hit nippy chip shots.
Scott, 36, Handicap: 14This is The Key to Good Wedge Play
A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. In this video, Ashley Moss shows you why solid contact is the first step to dialing in your wedge distances.
