![]() I'm not very impressed with people who dismiss these types of clubs out of hand without even trying them. After a while playing these, you grow in confidence and are able to get into "normal" wedges again. The way to use these wedges is to learn the bump and run technique which they help to get you started learning. They are usually really scared of hitting the ground before the ball and usually do because of that fear. It's always a safe bet with Cleveland wedges but this is easily one of the best wedges for high handicappers and beginners looking to upgrade.Ī lot of people dismiss these kinds of wedges but I have personally seen people change their games with these. This premium wedge functions as a game improvement club by bringing all the elements of forgiveness to the club head. Like with irons, the cavity back allows for more perimeter weighting which is unique for a premium wedge.The perimeter weighting means you’ll still get distance and spin on off-center strikes because of the extra weight behind the ball even on mishits. ![]() With the cavity back and chunky sole on the CBX, it's going to be much easier to get out of the bunkers, prevent chunked chips around the green and improve approach shots onto the greens. Forgiveness is the magic word for high handicappers and beginners and in a wedge, it's even more important so you can get onto the green easily to putt for some pars. The cavity-back design in the CBX 2 is more forgiving than the blade wedges most often found nowadays. This wedge is really easy to hit because Cleveland have put 12 degrees bounce on this club with a nice thick sole to glide through the turf, getting the ball into the air easily. I really like the 56° Cleveland CBX wedge. There’s no escaping the quality of their wedges. Once again Cleveland appears on this list. These two clubs have the potential to rapidly revolutionize your short game from bunkers to green side to pitch shots within 100 yards. The G wedge at 50° is the between club for more chipping precision and a bit of a shorter full shot than the 42° club.Įasily the best wedges for a high handicapper or beginner struggling with the short game or looking for their first wedges. While it looks quite radical, this club gets the job done every time. ![]() The C wedge has less loft at 42°and has been designed for playing around the green but can be used just as effectively from 125 yards with a full swing. You know, the ones you hit and look around to see if anyone noticed. Around the green you're not gonna hit those duffed chips that go a a foot or two. With the large sole of the club, you're going to glide through tall grass and fairways alike. The C wedge is 42 degrees which is pretty much an 8 iron while the G wedge is 50 degrees to give you a nice gapping between the C and S wedge These 8 degrees allow for a lot of versatility for the shots inside 100 yards. The newest version of these wedges now includes a G wedge so you have C, G and S for a full complement of wedges.Īdd the C Wedge and G Wedge in unison with the Smart Sole range and you have two potent wedges that are going to severely lower your scores. You can find me using both C and S wedge in this video on my Youtube channel. This perimeter weighting makes the wedge even more forgiving and will more than likely match your cavity backed irons in design. The Tour style wedges are designed with all the weight behind the sweet spot which makes them harder to hit. The weight behind the sweet spot has been distributed around the perimeter of the club like a standard iron. It's going to bounce right out and get the ball floating out on a magic pillow of sand. The face already has 58° of loft, so there really isn't much need to open the face like you do with other wedges.īut if you do want to, you can because that big fat booty is not going to let you dig into the sand. The weird looking underside is unnoticeable from the top when addressing the ball and actually looks like a standard wedge. The Smart Sole S wedge gets you out the bunker in one shot with almost no effort with the very wide sole. ![]() Their data analysis showed that golfers with a handicap over 12, find the green only 54% of the time out of the bunker so they've created a sand wedge that will get you out 100% of the time. Thick bottom and 58° so you don't even have to open the face up. They’ve really thought about the higher handicap player with the way they've designed this wedge. Cleveland golf make the best wedges for high handicappers. ![]()
