FORGIVENESS RATING
Bringing together everything Cleveland has learnt about wedges over the last few years into a progressive iron design, with fast-face tech. “Tour zip” grooves and laser milling boost stopping power. Thicker, lower profile long irons give maximum distance; more compact short irons play and look more like your wedges.
The CBX has a different look to most here; its head is quite deep, yet still manages to appear quite compact, which two of our testers really enjoyed. The satin finish looks the business while cutting glare, and the face and groove tech alone costs more to create than any other iron we tested. Competing against irons with stronger lofts is always a big ask, but the CBX impressed by posting numbers spot on average for ball speed, launch and carry distance, impressive.
