The CBX Full-Face 2 is Cleveland's answer to a problem most amateur wedges ignore: what happens when you open the face for a flop or a bunker escape and the ball catches the toe. Grooves run edge to edge across the entire face here, so a shot struck high on the toe grabs the same bite as one hit dead center. For anyone who plays a lot of creative shots around the green but doesn't have tour-level strike consistency, that matters.
This is a cavity-back wedge, which puts it in a different camp than a blade-style tour grind. Cleveland moved weight to the perimeter to make off-center hits more stable, and the result is a wedge that forgives a little without turning to mush on full swings. It comes in 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees, so you can fill out the bottom of your bag from gap through lob with one consistent look.
Call it what it is: a game-improvement wedge that leans toward higher-handicap and mid-handicap players. It launches high, it sits wide through the turf, and it takes some of the punishment out of a slightly fat or thin contact. It won't shape shots the way a bladed wedge will in skilled hands, but most golfers buying this aren't trying to.
In short
The Cleveland CBX Full-Face 2 (2022) is a versatile all-around wedge that suits most swings and turf. Lofts run 50° to 60°.

Loft and bounce are nominal values. Actual specifications may vary.
The wide sole is the design decision that drives everything else. It keeps the leading edge from digging on steep angles of attack and helps the club skate through sand and soft lies instead of burying. Cleveland pairs that sole with a cavity-back head, which is unusual in a short-game club, and it moves mass to the heel and toe so mishits hold their line better. High launch is built in through the loft and sole geometry, so shots come off with plenty of height and stopping power. The full-face grooves are the headline. Rolled Tour Zip grooves cover the whole hitting area and get a laser-milled surface treatment for extra friction, which is where the spin on partial and open-face shots comes from. On the 56, 58, and 60 you also get a more rounded toe profile, giving you more usable face when the club is laid open for a bunker shot or a high, soft pitch.
The grooves run all the way to the toe, so when you open the face for a flop or bunker shot and contact moves toward the toe, the ball still grips and spins. On a standard wedge those toe-side strikes hit smooth metal and come off with almost no spin. This is really aimed at players who play creative, open-face shots but don't strike the center every time.
Yes, this is one of the more forgiving wedges you can buy. The cavity-back head and perimeter weighting stabilize off-center hits, and the wide sole keeps the leading edge from digging on fat contact. If you're a higher handicapper who finds regular tour-style wedges punishing, this is built for you.
It comes in 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. A common setup is a 50 or 52 gap wedge, a 54 or 56 sand wedge, and a 58 or 60 lob wedge, spaced about four to six degrees apart. Match the top of this range to the pitching wedge loft in your iron set so you don't leave a gap.
The wide sole adds bounce and surface area, so the club slides through sand and soft turf rather than digging in. That makes bunker shots and pitches off fluffy lies more consistent. The trade-off is that it's less suited to very tight, firm lies or players who like to dig and manipulate the face, but most golfers buying this wedge value the forgiveness more.
The RTX line is a muscleback tour wedge built for better players who want control and shot-shaping. The CBX Full-Face 2 is a cavity-back, game-improvement wedge with a wider sole, more forgiveness, and full-face grooves for open-face shots. If you're chasing feel and workability, look at the RTX. If you want height, stability, and help on mishits, this is the better fit.
