Tour Edge Exotics launches CB PROs Forged Wedges
Tour Edge Exotics has announced the release of its first forged wedges, the CB PROs.
The wedges are forged from 1025 carbon steel, and have what the company calls “Mongo Grooves,” which are layered with 28 micro grooves to give them the maximum legal amount of sharpness for increased spin and control.
Their custom sole grinds, designed by Tour Edge President and Chief Designer David Glod, have relieved toe and heel areas that give golfers more versatility to hit open- and closed-face shots.
The wedges are available in lofts of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees, and come stock with True Temper’s Dynamic Gold Wedge shafts for $99. Golfers who prefer graphite shafts can opt for the company’s Fujikura Fuel wedge shafts for $109.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

I am a uk based club builder and Tour Edge stockist, love my Scor wedges but they aren’t the spiniest , I am building one of these with a Nippon wedge shaft to see if I can get some spin from 60y and under where the Scor don’t spin. The high bounce is something to do with the width of the sole so don’t discount them based on that, I will grind the sole if the bounce is too high.

Looks like a decent wedge for a player who hits down on the ball. If you are more of a sweeper though, you may want to look for something with less bounce.

That actually looks pretty nice. I would try one.

Tour Edge makes fairway woods that are as good as it gets. Conversely, I have yet to try anything else in their product line that is anywhere near as good as other companies so these wedges will need to be scrutinized at our demo day next weekend.

Holy bounce, Batman!

That’s a lot of bounce, would want 8* options.
Forged and microgrooves? The laser milled clevelands lost their “microgrooves” within 20 rounds, I wonder if these grooves/face milling will last longer.

Sounds great. Would really like to give these a shot up against my Scratch and Mizuno wedges. Love their putters, but the price for those is a bit of a turn off. $99 for a forged wedge, that is very competitive.

$99 for a forged wedge? Is that correct? That’s gotta be a mistake

That cost is correct. When you look at their website it shows $99 for steel and $109.99 for graphite.
