 Right, first of all, today's video is out in the sunshine at Pula Golf Resort in Mallorca. That's the good news. The second bit of good news is I've got my hands on a wedge that I was really positive about in the first few iterations. It's from Cleveland, it's a CBX, it's the full phase two, and I've got a feeling this one could end up in the bags of a lot of average golfers out there. So the first question is, why do I think these will end up in the bags of many average golfers? Well, it's quite simply because they are very playable wedge, they're a very forgiving wedge. And I say that based on my previous experience, what I want to see today is what is full phase two all about. Do I like the change in the profile and the shaping of this club? And maybe we start there, and let's just have a quick look at this thing. In terms of a shelf appeal perspective, I still think it falls into that game improvement visual if you like. And what I mean by that, it's a little bit bulky, it's got that wide width of sole, all these things are intended to help. They're there for a reason. And then from that front edge, like a lot of wedges right now, they've gone full face in terms of those grooves and that profile, we'll talk about that very shortly. The interesting bit for me in terms of full phase grooves, I understand them when you're perhaps talking at a 56, 58 or a 60 wedge, because that's often a shot that you will open up the club face and those grooves might come into effect. I'm not really understanding why they appear on a 52, a 50 and a 54. That confuses me a little. Anyway, let's hit some golf shots. Right, we're gonna kick things off from 80 yards out and this is not a full shot with a 52. So you'd be questioning, well, why aren't you playing a full shot? Well, because I like a wedge to be versatile and I like a wedge to be able to be very much playable from a half shot, a three quarter swing. That's my game. I'm not one that carries a whole load of wedges either. So it's not all about full shot with me. So 80 yards out 52 wedge, I think is a three quarter swing. First thing I notice is that the shape and head profile with this wedge is very different. They've changed this up in my opinion quite significantly. The high toe area seems to be higher and it sort of scoops very sort of almost strangely into the neck. And I think that's gonna take a little bit of getting used to. And as ever with my reviews, you get honesty and it's not something I'm overly comfortable with at the address position. That's really odd to be honest with you. But it's almost, I would say like I said for me somehow, the word scoop and I don't know why that's coming as a word into my head, but it suggests that it's gonna help me if you like and maybe that's where this is positioned in terms of the mentality. Right, that all may change if we pick this ball up nice and clean and we stick it near the flag. So three shots from here and let's see how we get on. That's a really nice pick up. It's really interesting that CBX wedges from the day that I've played them are super easy to play. That's what I'm gonna say. And what I mean by that is they pick the ball up really well, they get a good ball flight. This seems to be the width of soul again is a real help in terms of picking that ball up. Now whether or not it's a mentality thing, I've no idea. But all I can say is CBX wedges definitely seems to be on that game improvement spectrum and they do what they're supposed to. Right, let's try a couple more. Right, it's okay. So I mean performance wise, more than happy. Like I said, judging distance meant a little bit of change up in terms of the swings. That first shot I've hit this morning. So working with wedges, as you well know, it takes a period of time to adjust and understand your yardages. And it's very much sort of something that will grow the longer you use them. But first off from a three quarter swing so far so good, we need to change position and throw in a little bit of a curve ball make this a little bit more difficult. Today's video is brought to you in partnership with Shervo, the premium Italian golf wear and sportswear brand. By using some of the most innovative fabrics Shervo produced clothing that is both stylish and incredibly comfortable to wear both on and off the golf course. For more information visit the Shervo website and I will of course provide a link in the description of this video. Right, let's get back to the golf. Right, a bit unfair in terms of testing out our 52 wedge playing out of a bunker with not a lot of carry but we're going to give it a go anyway and again see if we can test out that full face screws and the versatility of the 52. So let's lay this one wide open and give it a bit of a splash. Oh, do you know what? That's not bad at all and the interesting thing is the fact that a little bit of grab there as well so from a bunker's perspective I certainly wouldn't be playing a 52 from there super impressed. Right, so we're going to ram things up a little bit in terms of the difficulty of the shot at least anyway and see what kind of feel we've got in this because I would very much describe this as a field shot. We've got two different cameras before we get to the flag and a 52 perhaps not ideal you'd want a little bit more loft but like I said let's see if we can make this work with this 52 in hand. Once again, first thing I notice and address is just that kind of like I said, slightly odd shaping. This has got to be left of the flag and see if we can just drift one in and then we'll hit a couple more from here. That's delicate enough. It's off the right side of the slope. There's a decent start and I think some decent feel feedback at least maybe a little bit off the bottom grooves. We'll try one more, we'll try two more but we'll leave the camera rolling for a little bit and just see what we can do with this. Yeah, nice a crisper strike to be honest with you. First one off the bottom grooves which again, I don't mind seeing how a club performs when you don't get it quite right because let's be honest, as average golfers that's what we're gonna do more than often. So, I'm happy with them and I really again, look, this is a cast club. I've done another video alongside this today from the same positions and I'm not sure which video comes out first. They were forged wedges and yes, there is a difference. However, I will say that as a cast club, this does a real good job. We might as well stick around for number three. Well, all I can say is from that position I'd be more than happy because believe me, I don't think the camera might show off just how difficult that shot is. Right, we're gonna put it through its test today because all through its pieces rather. Another what I would consider quite a difficult shot again, all about feel with a 52 wedge. You're expecting it to flight in a little bit lower and that's something I mean, do you know what interested in because whilst it's a 52 wedge, it seems to present a huge amount of loft and far greater than 52 at address. And I mean a lot more. I could almost, if you put that in front of me now and said, what loft have we got? I'd be talking 58 or 60. That's how much difference it looks. I'm not too sure the logic behind that. So with this kind of shot, we're looking to pitch up around the fringe and they're released down towards the hole. Good. Oh, hang on a minute. Oh, I killed it. Do you know what, that was so good. I said pitch into the fringe. The bank actually just stopped it dead. I wasn't expecting that, but ball flight was interesting. It was, yeah, like I said, a little bit higher than what I was expecting. Let's see if we can hit this one a little bit lower. Well, we managed to hit it a little bit lower but got it a little bit heavy as well. So not the best results there. In fact, I'm going to try one more ball whilst the camera's on because yeah, I did catch that just a little bit heavy, nothing major. And again, perhaps would have liked to have seen that sole help me out, but maybe even that couldn't help that heavy of a shot. That's a much better clip. That's the shot I was trying to play and that could go in the hole. The reason I try to play it differently is because can we manipulate that loft? Can we make it? It was a bit more hands forward the second or second and third attempt, ball back in the stance a little bit and the idea could we flight that ball a little bit down and yes, you can. So first of all for me, what I like to see in a wedges versatility, first shot was just a standard, let the club do its thing. That was kind of ball flight I got. Second and third effort, hands forward, ball back a little bit in the stance and try and hit that one just in a little bit lower. And it did exactly that. And the third one in particular really did execute what I was trying to do. So I like the versatility of it. Don't forget, it's gotta be classed in that game improvement category in terms of the style of wedge, but even if you wanna play a variety of shots and that's a strong part of your game, I still think it's very much doable with these CBX wedges. That's it. Wedge review done, very difficult to do a wedge review in my opinion. All we've tried to do is demonstrate the versatility of the club, talk about maybe the sound and the feel of it. And let's start with that bit first of all. I've said throughout this video, this is very much a cast club and the important bit for me is that I done another review alongside it, which was Mizuno wedges. And it's a little bit unfair in some ways because they're very different in what they're intended to do but the one noticeable difference between the two was that sound and feel. So for me, that's where you see that this doesn't quite have that sound and feel certainly of a forged wedge. However, what Cleveland do very well is making a cast club feel and sound as good as I've possibly felt, to be honest with you. It is a good overall feeling and sounding club. Then you go on to the lux thing, which is where to me I've got a slight issue. I'm not as keen on the kind of the profile that has been developed. I don't remember it being this kind of, like I said, as high in the toe and a sort of weird shape into the neck. That bit I was a little unsure of. But overall, what about performance? Well, from the longest shots in, I couldn't have picked the ball up any better. Again, I do like the confidence that the wider sole gives. And again, feel shots from in and around the green, super impressed. That one singular bunker shot that I played, well, it was really impressive, to be honest with you. Didn't expect to be getting that out from a slightly wet sandier pool of today, but again, played that exceptionally well. It's a few more shots that I played from in and around the greens. And for me, it's all about just changing the sort of hand position. And now I want to see the ball fire into the greens. And I was able to do that on every occasion. So whilst it's a game improvement wedge, it's still very playable in a number of golfers hands, in my opinion. Overall, what Cleveland do with their whole lineup, to be honest with you, but with CBX wedges, is make a very playable and very forgiving set of golf clubs. And that certainly again, falls into this category. So, very positive for a number of golfers. For me on this occasion, profile not quite on my eye. And from a field perspective, I probably would lean towards something slightly different. But they certainly will, as I said at the beginning of this video, fall into the bags of many average golfers. And I don't think you'll be disappointed. Right, as ever, thank you for watching our here at Pool of Golf Resorts, a stunning few days. And many more videos to come from here. So keep your eyes peeled, that's me done. And I'll see you all tomorrow night.
