Why We Like It
Average players, rejoice: This wedge combines a high-spin face with a forgiving sole! More than a wedge for golfers who have difficulty escaping bunkers, the CB features a revised sole design that allow a wider variety of shots to be played. Not sure what bounce (i.e., the angle between the wedge’s leading edge and the lowest point of the sole) you should play? Callaway has done the work for you. The sand wedges have a healthy amount of bounce (14 degrees on the 54- and 56-degree) and less bounce on the lob wedges (12 degrees on the 58- and 60-degree) for more efficiency on short shots from tighter lies around the green. The lower lofts have between 10 and 12 degrees of bounce.

Reviews
Full shots feel flushed, like I'm maximizing my distance. Ample bounce helps to keep the club from digging. Less workable around the green.
Wayne, 59, Handicap: 6Ultra-forgiving, high-lofted wedge. Performed well on full shots. Feels cushiony off the face. Full face of grooves inspires confidence. Less workable, but very forgiving.
Molly, 37, Handicap: 0Full face of grooves provides a good amount of spin from the sand. Feathery feel off the face. Able to go after sand shots.
David, 56, Handicap: 13This is The Key to Good Wedge Play
A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. In this video, Ashley Moss shows you why solid contact is the first step to dialing in your wedge distances.
