Cleveland Golf has today announced the release of the all-new CBX Full-Face 2 Wedge, which is scheduled to launch in North America on February 3rd, 2023.

The CBX Full-Face 2 is designed to be more forgiving with a larger face, along with added HydraZip, ZipCore, and UltiZip technologies. Per Cleveland, it’s a wedge built for golfers looking for the right balance of forgiveness and versatility to unleash their greenside creativity.

“Our new CBX Full-Face 2 wedge allows golfers the freedom to get creative around the greens and in tight yardages, with the perfect amount of spin control. With the biggest face ever on a CBX wedge, you’ll be able to strike the ball anywhere on the face with more forgiveness while enjoying controlled stopping power in any conditions.” – Dustin Brekke, Director of Engineering at Cleveland Golf.

With a high-toe profile, the CBX Full-Face 2 has a 13% more contact area than Cleveland’s RTX Full-Face wedges, in design to help players feel more confident when presented with open-face shot opportunities.

Joining this new generation of CBX wedges is ZipCore, a unique, low-density core designed to expand the sweet spot and upgrade MOI for ultimate forgiveness. Combined with a hollow-cavity design, ZipCore helps push the Center of Gravity (CG) directly behind the impact zone, while Cleveland Golf’s Gelback vibration-absorbing insert bids to improve feel.

The striking areas on the CBX Full-Face 2 are integrated with new HydraZip technology, which uses dynamic face blasts and laser lines that maximize friction in design for improved spin consistency in dry and wet conditions.

In addition and new to the CBX Full-Face 2 line is UltiZip, a technology designed to cut through debris more consistently, with grooves specially designed that are sharper, deeper, and tightly spaced for enhanced spin, control, and consistency.

This generation of the CBX Full-Face wedges also features a reshaped sole grinds. The Full Sole design offers more bounce on lower lofts for stable, full swing shots. The C-Shaped Sole on higher lofts provides added bounce in the center, along with relief around the heel, designed to optimize the balance between forgiveness and greenside versatility. All sole grinds feature a new bounce chamfer that helps the wedge get in and out of the turf from a variety of attack angles and help prevent chunked chip shots.

The new wedges from Cleveland will be available at retail from February 3rd and are priced at $169.99 each.

In our forums, one user (and a new golfer to boot) has asked a surprisingly provocative question: namely, ‘what’s your favorite golf saying.’ The question inspired answers both expected and unpredictable.

@hankj asked:

I’m new to golf this summer, and one unexpected delight has been all the funny/pithy/telling/wise old saws (aka sayings) one hears on the course and around the clubhouse.

My current favorite:

It’s a long walk from the driving range to the first tee.

Ain’t that the truth!

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own favorite aphorisms. 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.

JimmyC59: “Regarding my own shots: ‘That’s a good miss’ and ‘Well, it’s not horrible.’
For golfers who get angry on the course. ‘You’re not good enough to get so mad!’”
Dabetic: “‘Scorecard doesn’t care’ re bad/ugly shots working out…doesn’t matter how you get it done.”
Cellis: “Was playing a pretty tight course struggling with driver and was ready to shut it down for the day. Older gentleman I got paired with said, ‘Young man, just let the big dog eat, what is the worst that can happen, hit another ball?’ Helped me swing a lot more freely on the tee and become more successful not only that day but days on.”
sheepdawg: “They call it golf because s**t and f**k were already taken.”

More about the Cobra OPTM Max-K driver:

The Cobra OPTM Max-K Driver is a highly forgiving golf driver designed for players who want maximum stability, accuracy, and consistency off the tee. Featuring Cobra’s highest moment of inertia (MOI) ever, the Max-K uses an oversized 460cc head, a low-and-back center of gravity, and an 11-gram rear weight to reduce twisting on off-center strikes and help keep shots straighter.

Cobra also incorporates its H.O.T. Face technology to maintain ball speed across a larger area of the clubface, while the FutureFit33 adjustable hosel provides 33 loft and lie settings for personalized ball-flight tuning.

The driver is aimed primarily at mid- to high-handicap golfers and players seeking greater forgiveness, high launch, and tighter shot dispersion rather than maximum workability.
