Cleveland CBX4 Wedges Review

SuperStroke
Another day of hitting my number with the CBX4 on full-ish swings. I’m either on a heater or becoming a believer in the performance of these.

I did underestimate how well the sole can move through a bunker. I thought with the bigger footprint I wouldnt be able to slap the sand like I do with a RTX. I was completely wrong as it was able to work though the same brilliantly.
 
My custom ordered 56 finally showed up the other day. Haven't played it yet on the course, but been able to spend a few hours with it chipping around my backyard. Loving it thus far!

I holed out with my 52* yesterday from 100 yds. Lovely.
 
There continues to be a theme of hitting one somewhere not ideal on the face and hitting my number. It’s a lot of fun.
 
I’ve own and played every cbx wedge love the first one the best and still have it but this model is really good feels little lighter than the first you can do everything you need with these wedges bump and run or open and go high I have the 54 and no need for a 60 I’m not wedge guy but with these I can do a lot of things I couldn’t before
 
I don't think I could have hit these any worse last week if I'd tried 😂 Just a truly spectacular failure of my short game ability in every way. No wedge in the world could have saved me from myself.

It was so, so bad. I actually had a fantastic range session and initial short game area warmup. Feeling amazing about it. Then somewhere in the middle of my first round I hit a straight toe-shank and it was gone. I ended up just using the putter for everything inside 60 yards lol. Stupid golf.
 
Anyone playing these in the stronger lofts? If the consistency I am seeing with the 54 continues with the 50 I will be giving a long look at something in the 40's.

My ZX5 PW is 44*. I have a 48* CBX4 that’s perfect for gapping. As I use it mostly as a full swing club- then my 52 and 56 for short game work…

The only thing I might have changed was getting the same shaft as my PW - as it’s mostly a full swing club.
 
A little bit of chipping action tonight to get used to the 50 deg. It doesn’t present big behind the ball at all imho.

Although if I keep this strike point I should have gone RTX…

right? this iteration was so well done from a look and feel perspective
 
Been a long time Vokey user. I recently switched to more of a GI iron (which has done wonders for my game) and thinking of using 48 and 54 degree GI wedges. I just drop off too much on a less than perfect swing with my SM10 wedges. There are so many versions of the CBX and some with full face. I worry how they are in tight fairway lies with the thicker soles. Looking for feedback on this and what version do you recommend and why? Also, how are they on distance control with full shots, three quarter shots, punch shots, and low spinners. Can you open up a 54 play it back in your stance and hit a two hopper that stops? Is their toe relief to raise hands and hit the short chips? How are they from bunkers?

Lots in here but let me try to answer the ones I can.

I haven’t played any other versions but didnt have a lot of trouble from tight lies so far. Hasn’t been super dry and firm near me yet, but the way they addressed the grind I’m not too nervous.

Distance control on the options you listed has been really good. It’s been great for full, 3/4, and punch shots for me. I don’t really play the low spinner so can’t really speak to that but in general they seem to really check for me.

Dont play the hop and stop shot but have had no concern opening up a 54 to throw it higher.

No issue for me playing the raise the hands and toe chip.

They have been stand out performers from bunkers for me.

Anything more specifics you are looking for please fire away.
 
From half to full swings I am still very impressed by these wedges. I had one catch high in the face that carried hole high. Just seems to be so much speed retention all around the face. And the cherry on top is the versatility around the green. It can handle anything thrown at it.

What’s the feel like on these?

That's a tough one but it's certainly not harsh. I guess maybe the best compliment I can give it is that I haven't noticed a difference in feel compared to the blade style wedges I've consistently played in the past.
 
Anyone swap out their set gap wedge for one of these ? Say 48-52* range ? How’s it working out?

I did and am loving it. The sole grind gives me a little more versatility for touch shots and the distance control on the full swings has been superb for me. Has me considering a PW.

52* is one of my favorite clubs to hit. So easy and pure. I go from a 45* PW to the 52. Pretty easy to manufacture shots with it. It is my 80-115 club.
