Upgrade Your Game: Cleveland’s HB Soft 2 Putters Available for Purchase on January 24th
Staff Writer

Cleveland is revolutionizing the world of putters with its latest release, the HB Soft 2 putters. These putters not only cater to your stroke type but also address mishits for an improved performance on the greens. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the features and innovations of the HB Soft 2 putters.
SOFT Milling Pattern for Enhanced Distance Control
Cleveland’s Speed Optimized Face Technology (SOFT) made its debut last year with the HB Soft putters and found great success in delivering customization and premium performance. Unlike traditional milling marks on putter faces, Cleveland implemented a unique SOFT milling pattern. This pattern minimizes distance loss on mishits, regardless of whether the ball strikes the heel or toe of the putter. The HB Soft 2 putters continue this tradition, enhancing the SOFT face with new improvements.
A Distinct Milling Pattern for Every Head Shape
One of the key highlights of the HB Soft 2 putters is the granular approach taken by Cleveland. They have created a distinct milling pattern for each head shape, center of gravity, and weighting profile across all nine models. The milling pattern is tailored to offer exceptional consistency in distances, regardless of where the ball impacts the face. Whether you prefer a high MOI model or a lower MOI offering, the unique milling patterns ensure a reliable and predictable putting experience.
Catering to Different Stroke Types
Cleveland understands that every golfer has a unique stroke type, and the HB Soft 2 putters are designed to accommodate various stroke styles. With a range of face-balanced and moderate toe hang models, Cleveland provides appropriate hosel, shaft, and grip options to ensure a seamless connection between the putter and the golfer. It’s all about finding the perfect fit that helps you optimize your stroke and boost your confidence on the greens.
Enhanced Grip and Control
The HB Soft 2 putters offer a custom-made grip selection tailored to different stroke types. For golfers with a slight arc in their stroke, Cleveland’s classic pistol grip allows for more active hand movement during the putt. On the other hand, a straight back, straight through stroke benefits from an oversized pistol grip, keeping the hands quiet while maintaining control and feel. Additionally, builds of 35 inches and longer feature a 20-gram counterweight at the butt end of the shaft, providing consistent feel throughout your stroke.
Innovative Head Shapes and Features
The HB Soft 2 putter line introduces nine distinctive head shapes, allowing golfers to find the perfect match for their preferences. While many of the shapes are carryovers from the previous lineup, the HB Soft 2 Retreve stands out as a new mallet-shaped putter. This putter features a strategically placed hole in the middle, making it effortless to pick the ball out of the cup or off any surface without the need to bend over and grab it.
Pricing and Availability
Cleveland’s HB Soft 2 putters are set to retail at $149.99 and will be available for purchase starting from January 24th. If you’re looking to upgrade your golf bag for 2024, be sure to check out these innovative putters and experience the difference of having a putter designed specifically for your stroke.
