Not trying to throw you for a total loop but how about the Maltby Max milled? I would think that head would be like the CBX (sole wise) but no CB cavity.

One very big drawback with these max milled is the weight. Pretty heavy

      I haven't played the CBX wedges...I'm still playing the first generation Smart Sole Wedges from Cleveland and haven't found anything to get them out of the bag. Might have to give the CBX's a go based upon your stellar recommendation - you've had them in the bag for years!!!

          I love CBXs!! I have a 46, 50, 54, 58 and another 58* with a fatter sole. All 115 Dynamic Gold Steel.

          No, same answer as the Juggernaut.
          But, the GW is wider so it would be good in our sand. But probably not as good as the CBX on the dormant Bermuda here. I mean, it would be okay, but not holy grail.

            DonM The magic for me is the sole, not the cavity.

            Amen. Cavity backs add forgiveness on full swing shots. Wedges are for little shots. Most of us will find the center of the clubface on these shots. The sole is the critical element.

              DonM I bought a mint Cally Mack Daddy CB 58/14 at 2nd Swing and a mint Cleveland CBX Zipcore 58/10 at PGATSS. The loser will be returned. Results below.

              A few things to add:

              1. Thanks for this, I was always curious about trying the Cally Wedge, now I don't have to.
              2. Spuzz would say this is his “Spuzzervation" > the shaft weight difference may have been a factor in performance of your tests.
              3. Any model after the Cleveland CBX2 has sole grinds designed for different types of situations. The original CBX had one sole grind for all lofts.

              I play the CBX2s with my favourite wedge shafts, the Apollo Hump. The V-Sole feature seem to work for me...

                  Is a winner......gonna be in the lookout for a 56! The only hesitation is how it does with flops ... I only do it if it's necessary, but occasionally it is!

                      Better have some cushion to work with. Then it should work fine.

                          Yes, that is on my mind.

                          But, the Cally is a big flange wedge sort of like the Maltby Glider 1.25 which I own. The problem with it is all the weight is low. They fly high and short on fuller shots. That is probably why the Cally flew higher even on my chipping tests. That's my thought anyway. If anything I'd rather see my full wedges flight down more.

                          The CBX has the sole I want but without all the weight being so low. They've done the modern thing of getting weight high and to the toe.

                          I'll be interested to look at the CBX2's at some point. I might want a 54 depending on the sole.

                            I think you'll like them. If you like them but they just aren't quite what you think you were looking for, try the CBX Full Face wedges. I went from the original CBX to the Full Face ones and, "That's what I was looking for."
