I believe the CBX 2 graphite offering is the same 'ROTEX PRECISION GRAPHITE' wedge flex shaft as in the earlier version. If so, I have that shaft in all my CBX wedges (48,54,60). It's the first time I had graphite wedges and they do feel lighter but I was upgrading from some very heavy (IMO) wedges ... 1st version PM grinds with stock steel. I went the CBX route primarily to step seamlessly from my CB GI irons. My irons are graphite so it made sense to me to go graphite with my wedges too. I don't know what a 'better wedge shaft upgrade' might offer but the ROTEX have been an excellent performer for me...caveat being that I'm not a high swing speed player and I'm also not one who goes full tilt with my wedges. I'm sure the shafts would hold up if you're the opposite. But for me precision, contact, and control suffer if I go at it too hard with a wedge. I don't think it's a shaft issue at all though, It's always been the same issues when I gamed the stiffest heaviest steel options too.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post.
I normally play Regular Flex in my Wedges as I'm a slower swinger as well and I find the "Wedge" Flex in steel just doesn't work.
So with no real shaft options, I might have to go to the graphite.
