Additional features include a loft-specific Hydrazip face roughness, low-density Zipcore technology and sharper Ultizip grooves. RTZ Tour Satin, RTZ Black Satin, $169. RTZ Tour Rack, $189.

Cleveland uses a proprietary steel alloy that features a tighter grain structure for a softer feel. It also saves six grams. In its raw state, the alloy has the benefit of not rusting over time as other steel alloys tend to do, preserving the look and performance of the grooves. The ZipCore material in the hosel saves weight, some of which is moved low and toward the toe where golfers tend to it hit. The rest of the saved weight is used to make the hosel longer and wider to increase forgiveness. A refined face-milling process for the lower lofts enhances carry-distance consistency. The leading edge on lower-bounce models is sharper and more rounded on higher-bounce options. This improves turf interaction based on the type of shots and the attack angles typically played with those bounces. Its three finishes include Tour Satin, Black Satin and a raw "Tour Rack" option ($190, shown) A new groove design features sharper, tighter-spaced grooves to maximize contact and channel debris for more spin, particularly on shots hit from the rough. Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps. 20 options (46-64 degrees), 4 sole grinds, 3 finishes

Cleveland HB Soft 2 Black putters: With nine models already in the lineup, HB Soft 2 was already boasted one of the most extensive putter lineups in the industry. Instead of starting from scratch in 2025, Cleveland opted to add a low-glare black satin finish to expand the color offerings. The blades and mallets all feature SOFT (Speed Optimized Face Technology) faces boasting distinct milling patterns designed to minimize distance loss on heel and toe misses, regardless of head shape. UST's multi-material All-In putter shaft comes standard with each putter. HB Soft 2 Black, $199. Available at retail Jan. 17.

The three models cater to two stroke types (straight on the #8C and a slight arc on the #1 and #8S). Models also feature different style grips depending on the stroke type, specifically an oversize pistol for quieting the hands on the straight-stroke putter and a classic pistol for ease of activating the arcing stroke. The dense milling pattern at the center of the face becomes looser toward the heel and toe so that mis-hits receive more energy at impact for consistency across the face. The milling pattern matches up with each head’s relative forgiveness on off-center hits to further optimize ball speed on heel, toe and center hits. The 35-inch models use a 20-gram counterbalance weight under the grip to maintain a similar swing feel as the 34-inch models. Top 5 in Performance, high-handicaps Models: #1, #8S, #8C. Head weights: 355, 365 grams. Lengths: 34, 35 inches. Loft: 3 degrees.
