The new Cleveland CBX ZipCore Wedges starting in America December 17th.

CLEVELAND IS COME NEXT WEEK.

CLEVELAND GOLF’S NEW CBX ZipCore Wedges.

So if you looking for what’s next in the line of CBX Cleveland Wedges, it’s about to arrive. Just 1 week before Christmas.

Cleveland Golf is calling the new ZipCore Wedges the latest ember of the popular CBX line.

“If you play cavity back irons you should be playing a CBX wedge, plain and simple,” said Jeff Brunski, Vice President of Research and Development at Cleveland Golf. “Because the sole is more forgiving, the face is more forgiving, and the club is a lot easier to swing.”

The new foundation of the CBX ZipCore is a low-density core that sits at the heart of the wedge. ZipCore shifts the center of gravity, while it boosts a High-Low MOI for additional stability both high and low on the face of the club. So this generates a 26% improvement in the High-Low MOI compared to the previous generation of wedges. Cleveland says there is also a 10% improvement in Hell-Toe MOI.

ZipCore comes with a hollow chamber near the heel, with additional weight in the top to maximize MOI and perimeter weighting. This allows for new levels of unprecedented short game forgiveness. A Gelback TPU insert helps dampen vibrations to provide a pure feel at the moment of impact.

Register today for the Mistwood Golf Short Game clinic with IPGA professional Chris Ioriatti Dec. 15th. Mistwoodgolfdome.com or call (630)-739-7600. Bring your wedges.

The new ZipCore CBX wedges do feature the UltiZip Grooves. But these new UltiZip have been improved over past editions by 11% in sharpness, and 7.3% deeper. The grooves sit 7.4% closer on the club face, which allowed Cleveland to add two more grooves on the face. So this allows for more groove contact on each shot, and more spin.

ZipCore CBX has three Sole Grinds. So you can pick the loft and let the grinds take care of themselves. But there is now a purpose-built 44 degree wedge, designed to excel over set-matching pitching wedges.

“We’ve included all the same technology and spin performance that we offer our Tour staff and put it into the CBX ZipCore,” said Brunski. “So it’s no wonder the entire line of CBX wedges has been so successful-it’s Tour technology built into a edge for real golfers.”

Pricing is $149.99 steel shafts or $159.99 for graphite. But for a full list of sole-grinds and lofts, see Clevelandgolf.com.
