Cleveland CBX 2 wedges: High-lofters for the common golfer
In an update to its popular cavity back CBX wedge of 2017, Cleveland Golf today announced the launch of the Cleveland CBX 2 wedge. The wedge will be available for retail August 30.
Targeting cavity back iron players, Cleveland sought to produce a forgiving, cavity back wedge that still features expected forged wedge technology.
“The short game is critical to playing your best golf, and playing wedges designed for your game – and the shots you like to hit – is key,” said Brian Schielke, Marketing Director at Cleveland Golf. “That’s why Cleveland CBX 2 wedges were created. They make the short game easier and more forgiving for the majority of golfers out there playing game-improvement equipment.”
Key technology: Cleveland CBX 2 wedges
Hollow-Cavity Design: With a hollow chamber near the heel and a heavy weight placed in the toe, the hollow-cavity design maximizes MOI and perimeter weighting for maximum forgiveness
Feel Balancing and Gelback Technologies: Enhanced Feel Balancing Technology along with a Gelback TPU Insert reduces vibration for a pure feel at impact.
Rotex Face Technology: Fourth generation Rotex Face Technology delivers the company’s sharpest Tour Zip Grooves and most aggressive face milling.
Dynamic Sole: Three specialized sole grinds options.
Availability
- V-Shaped Sole grind: 46-52-degree lofts
- S-Shaped Sole grind: 54 and 56-degree lofts
- C-Shaped Sole grind: 58 and 60-degree lofts
The wedges are available in left and right-handed options. The Cleveland CBX 2 wedges are priced at $139.99 MAP for men’s/women’s steel and $149.99 for men’s graphite.

Most forgiving Players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
- RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
- YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
- golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

Ping Eye2 wedges were enormously popular, yet so few companies have followed making more forgiving wedges. The idea that a high handicapper will want a fancy-grind MB wedge makes little sense. These look really good and should help make the short game a little easier for the average golfer.

I love Cleveland Wedges. My all time favorites are the 588 and in fact I still have the BeCu 60.
