    I have to say, my CBX2 48º wedge is absolutely fantastic. I use it constantly and it is nearly automatic from 95-105 yards. It's also a great chipping club for me, because I like to play a lot of chips that are basically lofted chip-and-runs, where I want a tiny bit of check, but then a fair amount of run-out. It is a fairly wide sole if you're coming from blade wedges, but the CBX2 is just really easy to use from all kinds of lies and I get very reliable launch and trajectory with it, and thus great distance control. I play everything square with it, because the sole isn't really designed to be opened up and I just go up to the 52º if I need the ball to get up more.

      If I would make any change at all it would be to look at the CBX wedges. I may explore those in the off season. Thank you for watching. I have a Maxfli Tour and another 2 man event video coming within the next 5-6 days. I hope you can watch them. Thank you again.

      @@mistahshorthitter I'll echo this... the most consistent club in my bag last year was a CBX 52 degree with 11 degrees of bounce. I can stick that sucker within a couple feet of 100 yards consistently and almost never hit it badly.
      For me, the goal is to create the smallest possible ranges of yardage around the green where I'm susceptible to fats and thins. The CBX wedges help enormously with that project.

    AWESOME videos.....big fan.....I too choose my clubs for how they feel.
    Started playing with a MacGregor 1 iron I bought at a Thrift Store. I learned to swing the with that club. I would use it as a driver, approach, chip and even putt.
    I was too ignorant to know that this club was hard to hit so it has always been my favorite club......
    My first set I bought were Dunlop Cavity Flows which had very little offset. After starting with a 1 iron any offset looked like I could not hit it because it looked shut.
    Over time I played Wilson Fluid Feel, Walter Hagen Blades, Wilson Pregressive and now Hogan Channel Backs.
    My Wedges are Cleveland CG 10 60 and 56 degree....Taylor Made RAC 54 Degree....Titleist Vokey F Grind SM5 50 Degree......Hogan Channel Back PW-48 9-44 8-40 7- 36 6-32.5 5-29 4-25.5 3-22
    Cobra Baffler DWS-23 Taylor Made Rescue-18 Taylor Made Steel-15 Cleveland Launcher TI 460 -9.5
    These clubs give me the best feel and so I play well with them. I also never used a glove since I started in late 1970's....Ala Fred Couples and Ben Hogan.....Nicklaus then Fred and finally Hogan were who I patterned my game behind.
    So my swing went from high hands to low. I follow Nick Faldo method now and swing much more slower, make better contact and hit it longer.
    I also use a Wilson 8802 Blade putter and won a Putter Contest and the prize was a Scotty Cameron Napa which is just like the 8802.

One question you have some brand loyalty and I use to be that way but wondering if a random company sneaks into your bag this upcoming season ?

      @@mistahshorthitter Just looked at all your videos, and having just seen your What's in the Bag, and seeing your golfing level, and it's very similar to mine, I think now that you have your top end of the bag set, I would like to see a shoot-out of clubs to see if you can replace your 48. The reason I say this is I too have gone to stronger lofted clubs, but I weakened the shortest irons so that I had a 47 degree PW (it was stock 45) - so that meant for me, that my next club was my most important transition club, and how I would use it started to mean a lot for my game. As the modern game has changed the 'stock' position that is 'normal' for chipping, i.e. a more verticle shaft to use the bounce (as opposed to back in the stance hands forward chipping technique), I have transitioned to doing 'most' of my stock shipping with my 52-degree wedge (because 52 forward in the stance is similar to 56 back in the stance). Thus, that chipping/pitching club is 'really' important - and deciding what loft, how much bounce, the grind, how wide the bounce is, is all of a sudden potentially much more important than it ever was. So my video idea for you is, can you find a better 48-type wedge (more bounce, better grind, different loft), that might become a better scoring/chipping club in your bag. For me, this has absolutely been the case. In the last few years, I've gone from an 8 handicap to a +1 - and while everything has improved, my 40-yards and in pitching/chipping is dramatically better - huge practice yes, but finding that goto pitching/chipping club that I've tested to see what makes me better was key. My weapon happens to be a crazy thing I came across and that is a 56/14 Mizuno T20 that I bent to 52/10 - because it has a fantastic C-grind and it allows me to do whatever I need to do to score better.

    • @mistahshorthitter

    In a way , your WITB shows that we play with similar equipment, in concept anyway.
    It is important for golfers to get clubs that suit their game, rather than buy a full set and try to adapt their game to the clubs. If a club doesn't work for you reliably, why are you lugging it around the golf course?
    Your review not only tells us what you are using, but why, which is helpful. Plus it shows that you can play good golf with clubs that are not the premium level ( read expensive/ new).
    I have a Gravity Golf Arc Master putter that suits my arcing stroke ( toe weighted) so I am interested in your Cleveland putter. What model was it? I use two sets of wedges; 56/60 Cleveland CBX2 for winter ( higher bounce) and 56/60 single length SL-7 for summer ( lower bounce 10/4) . My irons are all single length ( Milford SL-7 only available in Oz/NZ) from 8 (36) iron to 50 GW. In winter to get more carry I am using Tour Edge iron-wood 6( 29) & 7( 33) , but when we get run again I put the SL-7 clubs back in the bag. Why single length? It allows for a wide band of distance out from the green that I am using the same set up for all shots= more reliable outcomes. I have TS2 hybrid 27 and TS2 7 wood, which I have adjusted at the hosel sleeve to a sightly flatter lie angle to stop going left too much. Next I have a Cobra F9 SL 19 hybrid, which is the most versatile club in my bag. It flies lower than a conventional hybrid of the same loft, but it is my get out of trouble club for poor lies/ positions/ punch shots/ bend it either way around trees, chipping near the green and off the tee into wind. After giving up using 3 woods off the ground, I now use a Cobra SZ 3 wood ( 16 does that make it a 4 wood?) for the few fairways where I need to find the narrow fairways. I want to test the Wilson Fywood in comparison to the 4 Wood for this role, as we discussed previously, mainly because it is easy to hit off the ground. My driver is a Cleveland XL Launcher ( set at 10.5) which in my hands ( 90 mph swing speed)performs as well as a Ping 425, and $500 AU less in price.

    Have you tested an A-flex (senior) shaft yet? I recently threw in the towel on regular flex shafts. My swing speed is just too slow and fits right into the wheelhouse of A-flex. It really does help launch the ball higher. I tested a Tour Edge E722 7-iron and love it...gonna order those soon to help on the carry distance. New iron tech over the last few years is great.

    • @mistahshorthitter

      I have not not but am considering going to graphite. Normally, driver clubhead speed of less than 85 and under 200 yards are the barometers for considering A-flex shafts. I may take a look at them for testing purposes. They should definitely fly the ball higher. Whether or not I get the same consistency of strike and flight will be interesting. Thank you for watching!

      I stick with the same ball. I think the most important thing is to keep them warm. I keep them in the house before playing. Keeping them in your pocket can keep warm during the round. I think doing this keeps them playing nearly identical to warm conditions. You still have to adjust to colder air and extra layers.
