Cleveland Golf introduced its new HB SOFT Milled line of putters in the fall, with 10 tour-proven shapes designed to fit any putting stroke.
“The HB SOFT Milled putter line delivers milled precision at a remarkable value,” said Haley Wian, business planning manager at Cleveland Golf. “With a variety of head shapes, alignment options, and a fitting system to match any stroke type, there is an HB SOFT Milled putter to help upgrade your putting performance.”
The new line of putters provides a combination of features and technologies at an affordable price point from $200 to $250. Featuring a refined Speed Optimized Face Technology (SOFT), which helps alleviate the issue of distance control, the line offers model-specific milling normalizing ball speeds across the entire putter face for a more consistent roll regardless of putter shape.
Each putter shape is cast in molten steel before the face and back are precision-milled for performance purposes: the face for consistent distance and the back for a razor-sharp address view.
Depending on stroke type and alignment preference, there is a new model grip to fit every stroke. For slight-arc stroke types, the Golf Pride Pro Only Red Star is a tour-preferred pistol shape grip designed to help turn the putter over through the putting stroke. For straight-stroke types, the Green Star has a rounded, oval-back shape for comfortable hand positioning and to help keep the hands quiet through the stroke.
The new optional UST Mamiya All-In shaft features a 26 percent stiffer profile to help minimize shaft flex during the putting stroke for more consistency. Proprietary nanotechnology strengthens the shaft for better feel and response, while delivering a 10 percent more consistent face angle at impact.
