Cleveland HB Soft Milled

Why We Like It

Milling a putter serves a purpose. Although generally expensive, perfectly cutting the metal from a solid block of steel (as opposed to poring a liquefied metal into a mold) results in a consistent-feeling putter. Cleveland’s R&D team sought a more affordable approach, only milling the critical parts of a cast putter blank. The milling creates the face’s varying surface-texture densities for consistent ball speed and eliminates porosity in the raw cast head for better feel.

Characteristics

  • A unique process takes cast head that is then selectively CNC milled in the face and key alignment areas.
  • The milling pattern on the face has differing densities to control off-center speed.
  • The All-In, a low-torque graphite/steel shaft option, features more stability during the stroke for better control of the face angle at impact.
  • Four models (1, 4, 8, 8P); head weight: 345-370 grams; lengths: 34, 35 inches ($250 for the All-In steel-tipped graphite shaft version); loft: 3 degrees
