Cleveland CBX-2 52* Wedge

[cooke119]

I saw a post on the CBX-2 wedge but they were talking about 56* wedge. Anyone use this wedge as a gap wedge?

My PW, which came with my irons is 49*, my SW is 56* so I use a gap wedge of course. I was at Dicks Sporting Goods and hit the CBX-2 52* and really liked the feel.

I am also switching to a graphite shaft because all my irons are graphite, all my current 52*s are steel and feel heavy in comparison. Cleveland and Dicks sell the club for $149 plus I would probably have to pay to get a midsize grip put on. Getting pricey.

Thoughts anyone?

I was going to suggest an online source, but just noticed you wanted graphite.

If you can use the help from a cavity back wedge, I don’t see why it would be limited to a 56°. If anything, you’re probably going to hit more full swing shots with a 52° and will get more from the design of the club.

I have a complete CBX bag through wedges. That’s the previous version so I’d assume the CBX2’s would be a bit better. Price aside I can’t recommend them enough so maybe wait for a sale or a deal to come by.

I agree, I didn't see a big difference between the CBX and the CBX2 and at my index I'm not sure a slight difference in the wedge would matter. That being said I searched the web and found a brand new CBX on sale for $99.00, free shipping, so I purchased it. I received it yesterday and spend a half hour removing all the stickers, (damn I hate when the put them on, hard to get the glue off; anyway). I went to Dicks and had a Golfpride midsize grip put on to match my irons. Now to go to the range and try it out. It looks and feels really nice, can't wait to take it to the course.
