The forgiving wedge. Once upon a time it meant putting an iron set wedge into your bag, but in recent years no one has been doing more to show that a forgiving wedge can be so much more than that than Cleveland Golf.

Here at THP we have been able to see the evolution of the CBX wedge design from the original to the most recent CBX2. The CBX2 in particular has gotten rave feedback from our community members and been a massive success for Cleveland Golf. If you want one of the most comprehensive rundowns of the CBX2, be sure to check out our review here in order to see just what sets the design apart.
Not long after the release of the CBX2 and its strikingly beautiful satin finish, Cleveland Golf brought out the CBX Full Face wedges in a dark finish. Since that time, we have heard numerous people ask about the possibility of a dark finish in the CBX2. Well, the time is now.
Releasing on December 18th, the Black Satin CBX2 will be available for purchase. As a reminder, the CBX2 wedges will be available from 46° to 60° with three different sole shapes, V in 46°/48°/50°/52°, S in 54°/56°, and C in 58°/60°.

Just got the shipping notification for mine on Saturday. I’m looking forward to giving these a shot.
Nice – I tell you that I had the 60* FF in Black Satin for the entire year and I look at it yesterday, the black has really held up well and that’s the club I use out the sand.
Nice! Easiest to hit wedges possibly ever imo. Everyone who I’ve put one into their hands has been blown away by them. Every. Single. One.
That makes me happy. I hope that I’ll have the same experience that they have. A few tweaks to my game and hopefully I’ll be sneaking under 90.
I think some get hung up on the lack of versatility, but that’s not what the CBX2 are designed to do, they’re made to make the straight forward wedge game and even full swing wedge game easier. If you need the added versatility the Full Face in the LW makes that easy peasy and would blend seamlessly.
You’re going to be pleased.
They’re the ultimate gap wedge imo, why I’m not bagging one still is asinine.
My +digit cap buddy gets so mad cause he hasn’t chipped one in, in about 5 years and I think I had a run this summer of chipping in 3 straight rounds with it.
The black color might sway me.
I was just in galaxy and the shades are close but slightly different.
The cbx2 is more gunmetal gray or a gray gray. The full face dark is gray but has more of a copper/goldish sheen to it.
I liked the Cbx2 finish better

They’re close enough most would be super happy imo.
CBX2 is a definitely performance improvement over Gen1. I really do mean that.
For sure. You’d have to have them next to each other to even notice it.
I have hit the gen 2 50* on full shots and agree it seemed better than the gen 1 that I owned and never really gamed all that much. I stuck with my set GW instead.
I just worry about chipping with it. I am in a really good groove with my gen 1 60* with chipping. Since adding it to the bag I have chipped in more with it than all my other wedges combined over the years. So there is just some hesitation on swapping over.
I have to see what irons make the bag for next season first to see if I need to retool my wedge gapping. If I do, the CBX2 will be on the short list.
I currently game the CBX2 in 50* and 54* . I also game a CBX full face in 58* and the combo is perfect. My only gripe would be that my cbx2s are in a satin finish which messes up the all black look I have going in my bag. The black satin CBX2s would match my full face perfectly. Hmm…
?
Ponder approved
Name and color fill both a option?
They were when they first came out.
I went back recently and saw the option to personalize had been removed from the Cleveland site. I got the same reply that you did from them that it would be up again within a month or so.
I may end up replacing my 54* with a 56* as well….
Personalize and customize functions are back on the Cleveland site now !! Of course I bought a normal Full Face 56* last weekend, lol
Currently pondering on a cold, gray, slow morning in the office
My 50* CBX2 is probably my most reliable club.

I play out of the desert more than I like and can tell by the sole. But these are 6 months old and barring rocks, they hold up really well. I like them a lot; more forgiving for me on longer swings.

I haven’t played this one specific, but Cleveland was ahead of the game in developing dark finishes that lasted.
That club has some "Character"
