Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Cleveland CBX

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Cleveland’s CBX. The cavity back design gives you the forgiveness you need when faced with a difficult pitch shot, as well as short game versatility. The centre of gravity is positioned behind the face, which aids the feel and also gives you supreme distance control, meaning you’ll be confident of avoiding danger both in front and behind the green.
