In our forums, our members have been discussing cavity back wedges. WRXer ‘Bigjim1022’ is considering moving to a cavity back wedge and kicks off the thread saying:
“These seem to be pretty popular these days, and while I’m not considering one for my SW and LW I am thinking about one for my Gap wedge. Currently using a 50° RTX 6 which I like well enough. Chipping it’s pretty decent but full shots I’m hit or miss with it, and I use it more on full shots.
Has anybody had success going to one of these wedges, and if so, I’d love to hear your thoughts?”

- Lord helmet: “I have an iron set GW at 49*. Mizuno hot metal pro. I only use that club for full shots so it makes sense to me to have some forgiveness there. I start with specialty wedges at 53/57/61 for everything else. I dont miss having a Vokey or other wedge in that spot to be honest.”
- kmay_: “I play the CBX in 52, and 58. Rarely hit full shots with wedges, sometimes with the 52 I’ll hit it full, and as a chronic toe striker, they are certainly more forgiving than the Mizuno mpt5s I had been playing previous. But they are quite drastically at different ends of the spectrum those two. My 52 is a workhorse, I hit that sucker more than any club and love it.”
- hammergolf: “My wedge game is by far the strength of my game. I carry Cleveland CBX Zipcore 50, 56, and 60 wedges. Flat out, the most consistent wedges I’ve ever played. Toe side strikes literally fly almost the same distance. These have the tightest dispersion of any wedges I’ve used. HIGHLY recommend.”
