CBX ZipCore

Best-in-class - the perimeter-weighted cavity back gives the kind of MOI usually found in a game-improvement iron, with a wide sole for consistent contact, and the aluminium ZipCore delivers 26% more high-low MOI and 10% more heel-toe forgiveness. Among the most forgiving wedges - a game-improvement cavity back.

A standout - the UltiZip grooves (sharper, deeper and closer together, with two more grooves per face) provide loads of spin no matter the shot length, the spin numbers comparable to a blade wedge. Among the better wedges for distance control.

Workable for a game-improvement wedge - three sole grinds by loft: a V-sole (44-52 degrees), an S-sole (54-56 degrees, for full shots and chipping) and a C-sole (58-60 degrees) that makes it easier to open the face, though the cavity-back game-improvement head limits manipulation. Workable around the greens via the C-sole, though a wide game-improvement sole.

Soft and dampened - a TPU insert that helps with vibration dampening for a softer feel, a refined cavity-back feel. A soft, dampened game-improvement feel - better than a typical cast cavity-back wedge.

A clean note, a touch clicky - the sound at impact on short shots is a little clicky, a firmer short-shot acoustic. A clean note, slightly clicky on short shots.

Clean, if larger - the cavity-back game-improvement shape is confidence-inspiring at address, larger than a tour blade. A clean, confidence-inspiring game-improvement shape.
