WEDGE
Cleveland CBX ZipCore
2022
The CBX ZipCore effectively trickles Cleveland's tour-proven RTX ZipCore groove and core technology down into a more forgiving, game-improvement wedge shape, a common strategy among wedge makers. Independent reviewers (Golf Monthly, Plugged In Golf) generally praised its forgiveness and chipping performance, with the main critique being a slightly 'clicky' or firm sound/feel on delicate shots compared to a milled or forged tour wedge.

GEARCADDIE FIT VERDICT
Who should play this club — and why
BEST FOR
Designed for mid-to-high handicap and recreational golfers who want a wedge that's easier to hit consistently on full shots while still delivering credible short-game spin and control — a step down in workability but up in forgiveness compared to Cleveland's tour-level RTX ZipCore wedges.
VERIFIED PRODUCT FACTS
What is specific to this model
The Cleveland CBX ZipCore is a game-improvement cavity-back wedge released in December 2021 (2022 model line), built for golfers who want forgiveness and easy spin around the green rather than a traditional tour-style blade wedge. It pairs Cleveland's ZipCore low-density insert with UltiZip grooves borrowed from the RTX ZipCore tour line.
