Cleveland Golf unveils all-new CBX Full-Face 2 wedge
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.

I’m not sure larger wedges produce better misses. But the other technologies seem like they will help. My instinct is that these wedges are going to work. The question that I have again and again and again is there a way to help flight wedges much lower with optimal spin by design or build?
