Cleveland Golf CBX 2 Wedge Preview: Forgivness for Your Short Game

Built for the vast number of golfers playing cavity back irons, Cleveland Golf is releasing their second generation CBX 2 wedge, offering enhanced spin, control, and all the forgiveness you could ever need. 

 

The CBX 2 is a new perspective on wedge design.  For too long, wedges have been stuck in a top down approach of designing for the world's best players at the expense of the many everyday golfers who define the sport. 

CBX 2 still features tour wedge technologies that Cleveland Golf is renowned for.  However it's buily specifically for the everyday player and for the ultimate in wedge forgiveness. 

 

Cleveland Golf Marketing Director Brian Schielke said, 

"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.  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." 

Cleveland CBX 2 features a new Hollow-Cavity design with a hollow chamber near the heel and a heavy weight placed in the toe.  This unique structure maximizes MOI and perimeter weighting for unrivaled short game forgiveness, while still maintaining a sleek, attractive profile at address. 

 

Additionally, the Cleveland CBX 2 offers the latest iteration of Feel Balancing Technology that achieves a new milestone: a toe-biased center of gravity.  Combined with a Gelback TPU Insert for vibration reduction, Cleveland's CBX 2 provides a soft, satisfying feel and crisp feedback at impact. 

Cleveland Golf Engineering Manager Dustin Brekke said, 

"The Cleveland CBX 2 gives you 25-percent more shots on the sweet spot.  This helps you hit better shots, but also drastically improves feel at impact." 

 

With Cleveland CBX 2, three distinct sole grind offerings arranged by loft deliver more versatility to execute any short game shot.  Meanwhile, a staple of Cleveland's wedge philosophy is spin, and the CBX 2 feature fourth generation Rotex Face Technology that delivers the sharpest Tour Zip Grooves, laser milling, and aggressive face milling for maximum spin and short game control.

Schielke said, 

"It’s remarkable seeing the performance improvements when golfers switch to the extra forgiveness, better sole designs, and overall weighting that blends perfectly with their cavity back irons."
