If you are looking for soft feel coming off of the clubface, there is an entire line of Soft Feel Putters by Cleveland as well. In total, there are six slight-arc models and four face-balanced models. Head weights will range from 345 grams for the standard Anser-style blade up to 370 grams for the larger mallets. And because there is a fan base, there is a center-shafted option for the 10.5C mallet. But the point of the Cleveland HB SOFT Milled putter line is affordable innovation. With each iteration, the HB line has added a meaningful tech twist. The price has inched up each go-round, too, but that’s a separate story. The Huntington Beach Soft is available in about eight different styles. Although these putters are not widely used on tour, each design is based on a model that is being used and played on tour.

And while there are 10 heads for righties to choose from, only the 4 blade and the 10.5S and 11 mallets are offered for lefties. The 10.5S is also offered in a lighter and shorter women’s model. The primary benefit to the cast-then-milled process is to waste less material which, in turn, saves cost,” says Cleveland Product Manager Casey Shultz. “It’s a smarter way to achieve the precision benefits of a fully milled putter. If you are a golfer that does not like an insert on a putter head, the Cleveland Huntington beach Soft putter is a great option.Any golfer wanting a preferred shape, they’ll have a nice-looking putter that should fit their eye,” says Schielke. “From a feel standpoint, these putters have milled faces with pretty deep milling. That really softens the feel at impact, along with the fact they’re made from 304 stainless steel.” This is the same face milling idea Cleveland uses in its TFI 2135 series. In a nutshell, at the sweet spot, you have more groove and less face. As you move away from the sweet spot, you have more face and less groove. Just how much of performance difference is there between a mass-produced, Chinese-made 304 stainless steel milled head and a custom-machined, 303 stainless steel head made in the U.S. by Scotty or Bettinardi is an open question. The other open question is will you, as a consumer, actually believe the less expensive putter performs similarly enough to actually buy it?

Bauer Media Group consists of : Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number 01176085; Bauer Radio Limited, For better or worse, Cleveland has also consistently tinkered with its alignment aids. There were interesting innovations like the TFi 2135. And there were silly ideas that Cleveland would rather everyone forget like the Double Square line.Those numbers sound impressive but do they mean anything for a putter stroke? Again, according to Cleveland, its testing shows seven-percent improved face rotation consistency and six-percent improved impact location consistency. In plain English, that means clubhead rotation was better and golfers hit the center of the face more often. Ultimately, Cleveland says it all leads to a 10-percent more consistent face angle at impact. I would urge golfers to try the UST ALL-IN for themselves,” says Shultz. “The feel is noticeably different so it may take a few putts to get used to the added stiffness. But you can really tell the increase in control and consistency with a side-by-side comparison.” Additionally, Cleveland continues its SOFT face milling. SOFT stands for Speed Optimized Face Technology and is Cleveland’s take on ensuring distance control on mishits. It’s an undeniable fact that golfers mishit putts. And even missing the center by scant millimeters can cause a putt to come up short. By using head-specific milling patterns, Cleveland is giving you more face material and less groove space on either side of the sweet spot and more groove and less material right in the sweet spot. More material means you’ll impart more energy to the ball on slight mishits and get the ball to the hole. Moving on.. I've been petitioning for MGS and Ralph Maltby to get together for a little while now. I'm currently playing 3 different models that I feel could all make a best wanted top candidate. DBM Irons, TS-1 irons, and TSW Wedges. I've concluded that there has to be more of a reason than no reason. One would think that the whole foundation upon which MGS is built on would only welcome the opportunity to showcase what Maltby is about. Provided your read is correct, does face technology help you get the ball closer to the hole on mishits? It’s something MyGolfSpy has proven repeatedly over the years, but there’s still the notion that looks and feel are the most important – if not the only – attributes that matter in a putter. Oakley, for his part, sees it both ways.

For the Premier line, it’s an upgraded gray satin finish,” says Cleveland Marketing Director Brian Schielke. “In our player tests, it’s pretty split between golfers preferring the more classic silver finish and this kind of darker look.” Cleveland’s stance is that any of its putters will perform just as well as your Scotty, your Edel, your Bettinardi or any big-dollar boutique brand you can name, and do it at a fraction of the cost. If you’re in sales and marketing, that’s both a blessing and curse. Company number: 1394141; Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, But, as we said earlier, Cleveland is giving you lots of choices with some pretty innovative technology. And for what it’s worth, you might want to look at what’s going down. Cleveland HB SOFT Milled Putters: Specs, Price and Availability With an ultra soft feel and classic blade shape, the Huntington Beach 4 putter by Cleveland Golf is a solid performer and great value. IntroductionOur brand name isn’t really set up to compete against a Bettinardi or a Scotty Cameron,” says Zach Oakley, Brand Manager for Cleveland Golf. “So our philosophy is a little bit different. We take a product that’s similar for the most part and target a different market segment.” Traditionally, the HB SOFT line, like every other value-priced putter line, has featured a cast body with a milled face. The upside, compared to a 100-percent milled putter, is lower cost. The downside, however, is a finished product that looks like it’d be more at home in a department store. Regardless of performance, they looked cheap. And right or wrong, the “ I gotta love the looks” crowd believes a better-looking putter will be a better-performing putter. A Sharper Image The Premium line features three blades and five mallets with varying toe hang and hosel options, each with the appropriate fit-for-stroke grip. I’d argue from a performance standpoint, with Speed Optimization Face Technology, these are better,” says Schielke. “I would say our putters are premium in terms of performance; they’re just priced lower. If you put our putters up against any other putter, ours do just as well, if not better. We want to give our golfers performance and save them a little money as well.”
