Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft 11 Mens Right Hand Putter

Product Information

A unique aspect of the new range is a custom face-milling pattern for every head shape. Rather than relying on the same face pattern on every putter shape, Huntington Beach SOFT utilizes a gradual face-milling pattern on higher MOI models, while using a more rapid milling variation on lower MOI models. 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. From 30 feet, we holed three of 20 putts and the remainder all finished with a two-foot circle around the cup. The details: The HB Soft features the same proprietary face technology as the Frontline and a precise, CNC-milling pattern that feels soft without getting mushy. Multiple head styles are available.

The Huntington Beach SOFT 8 putter is single bend blade design that delivers a soft, buttery feel, enhanced speed control, and pure roll thanks to a precision milled face and Cleveland’s proprietary Speed Optimized Face Technology.The Odyssey White Hot Pro 2.0 is a forgiving blade-style putter with an insert. If the Stainless steel clubface that the Cleveland golf putters offer is not for you, this Odyssey may be worth looking into. 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.

It must be some of the proportions that had me convinced from the start that the Huntington Beach 4 was longer heel to toe than other similar models. That turned out to not be the case, but it does have a generous sweet spot. With a 345 gram head weight, I was able to put a confident, flowing stroke on both long and short putts. Cleveland Golf claims that the deep face grooves “increase friction for a truer, more consistent roll.” Very true – my putts started tumbling end over end immediately. ConclusionWell, unfortunately, things have changed, and now putters, regardless of the model, can sell for some astronomical numbers. The feel of the putter with off centre hits is clunky but that might be because I’m used to hitting with a Putter with a rubber insert. It is extremely easy to judge distance within 30 feet, but for longer putts you have to make sure the putter head is clean of any debris for accuracy of distance. From a “volume of offering” standpoint, that would be an emphatic yes. Cleveland considers the HB SOFT Milled line to be an extension of the existing Huntington Beach SOFT putter family. And the innovative Frontline series is still current but is being discounted, which is a sign that it’s due for an update. In our review of the Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft putter, we mentioned the milling pattern on the stainless steel head to help with feel and consistency. The Frontline putters do have an insert, and they are built for consistent roll. The 304 stainless used in these putters is confirmed to be about 50% softer than the 17-4 stainless that was used in the past. A softer feel on a putter head can help if you are playing on faster greens and need a bit of finesse on shorter putts.

Our take: Made from 304 stainless steel, each SOFT putter has a CNC-milled face and Speed Optimized Face Technology milling pattern that helps normalize impact off more face surface area. The result is greatly enhanced distance control and more overall consistency, as well as a super-soft feel. They may not be as technologically advanced as far as shaft and milling technology, but you will be pleasantly surprised by this series of putters. 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? The #11 is Cleveland’s take on the popular fang-toothed Odyssey #7, a putter head nearly every OEM, putter specialist, and boutique outfit offers. It’s usually a toe-hang model with high MOI, but the center shaft basically balances the face. 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 AvailabilityOur take: A total reinvention of the traditional hosel found on most putters, each TRUSS is designed to improve stability and performance, all without looking too radical when viewed from above. It’s akin to having the steadiness found in a mallet while still retaining the streamlined look of a heel-toe blade or half-mallet. Ensuring consistent speed control and distance performance, Cleveland's proprietary Speed Optimized Face Technology normalizes ball speed across the entire face of the putter, even on off-center putts. So the TFI technology must’ve just been hype? Why not blend the ‘SOFT’ technology with the TFI technology? The short game specialists at Cleveland say the new SOFT family offer excellent distance control, soft feel and extra confidence which will help golfers sink more putts. “Cleveland Golf putters have always been great value, but the Huntington Beach SOFT, feature speed optimized faces and a premium finish, which takes them to a whole new level,” said Jeff Brunski, Vice President of Research and Development at Cleveland Golf. 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.”

When golfers are trying the putter at the store, the feel and weighting will go hand in hand,” says Schielke. “It can be hard to evaluate a putter head if the grip is so different from what you’re used to. Having both options at the store for people to try will help golfers appreciate the putter and the technology even more.” ClubTester’s take (8-hdcp): “I’d never consider a blue finish, but I’m singing a different tune. Love the look and feel. It instils ample confidence when placed behind the ball, thanks to its simple but effective alignment aid.Ok – So Cleveland has been doing this ‘SOFT’ face milling style now for a little while. It came out shortly after EVNROLL was invented, and seems to be based on a similar idea of reducing energy on center hits so they roll the same distance as slightly off-center hits. I would have to guess that it’s survived any legal challenges since it’s still in Cleveland’s product line. As far as fitting goes, Cleveland doesn’t have a formal fitting program but is upgrading its fitting content online and in stores. Speed Optimized Face Technology: Provides consistent distance and speed control on every putt, even mishits. 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. What a center-shafted putter does is it’s the most face-balanced putter you can get,” says Oakley. “That center of gravity and the shaft angle match up perfectly.”
