Considering trying these wedges as they are allegedly more forgiving ( until they are in my hands)
There are some good deals now the CBZ is about to launch.
Does anyone have them and have any thoughts ?

TIA.

I don't have the new CBZ wedges, but the CBX....they are fine. My only complaint is that I would like a lower bounce on my loftier wedges and you can't get them with these wedges. I don't mind the bigger bounce on my 50, 54.....but when I get to 58 and 64 I would prefer 6 or 8 bounce. That's just me and I'm a flopper fella.
 
Dunno about the CBX's but in my research I found that a local club has a Cleveland wedge fitting cart....I've been hankering after a set of RTZ's so as soon as I get back from holiday at the end of September I'm booking myself in for a wedge fitting session.
 
I have the CBX Zipcore in 50 & 54 and I think they're great. A lot of people don't hit full swings with their wedges, but I'm very comfortable doing so with these and the forgiveness they have from the bounce and slight cavity back. Great for chipping as well, I've recently switched to using the 50 more around the greens for the low chips and it's working nicely.
 
I've been thinking about replacing my wedges.....although I'll probably wait until the end of winter now, but.....I very possibly will be going CBX (or Z) for the longer wedges and then RTZ for the higher lofted so I can choose a lower bounce.
