“The CBX 2 is a cavity-back GI wedge that matches iron sets and adds forgiveness plus Gelback feel. Sole grinds run by loft: V-sole (46-52), S-sole (54-56), C-sole (58-60). Best for the game-improvement player who wants a matching wedge.”

The CBX 2 (2019) is Cleveland's cavity-back game-improvement wedge, purpose-built to match cavity-back iron sets rather than serve better players. It uses a Gelback insert for feel, a toe-biased center of gravity for a wider forgiveness zone, and a simplified sole system - one grind per loft (V-sole for 46-52 degrees, S-sole for 54-56, C-sole for 58-60) rather than the multiple bounce/grind choices typical of a tour wedge. Independent testers at Plugged In Golf and others rated it among the most forgiving, easiest-to-hit full-shot wedges in their test group, praising strong spin retention and a crisp 'tock' sound at impact for a cavity-back design.

A genuinely well-reviewed, specific mainstream product across multiple independent testers, but too recent and too quickly superseded by newer CBX and CBX Full-Face models to have built any lasting cult or collector following - an honest, solid current-generation product rather than a legend.

Mid-to-high handicap players who game cavity-back irons and want a matching, forgiving wedge for full shots. Better players wanting multiple grind/bounce options for shot-shaping around the green should look at a players' wedge line instead.

• Simplified sole-grind philosophy: one sole per loft, optimized for how that loft is predominantly used, rather than multiple bounce/grind choices.
• Toe-biased center of gravity built specifically into the cavity design for a wider forgiveness zone.
• Stock shafts include a True Temper Dynamic Gold 115 steel and Cleveland's own Rotex Precision graphite, the graphite option again signaling the slower-swing target buyer.
• Independent testers at Plugged In Golf rated it among the most forgiving full-shot wedges in their contemporaneous test group.
• Launched at an MSRP of $139 per Clubhouse's own records, undercutting the typical $150-$170 pricing of players'-style wedges of the era.

Part of Cleveland's CBX generation launched in 2019, aimed squarely at recreational cavity-back iron players and positioned opposite the brand's RTX players'-wedge line. It was succeeded by the CBX ZipCore and CBX Full-Face lines within a few years.

Private-party prices typically run $40-$70 per wedge in 2026, reflecting a six-to-seven-year-old mainstream game-improvement wedge with real but unremarkable secondary demand.
