Cleveland HB SOFT 2 Black Putter – Model 1 2025
HB SOFT 2 Black Putter – Model 1
The most traditional shape of all the HB SOFT 2 Black Putters, model 1 features a classic blade design paired with a plumber’s neck hosel and simple, one-line alignment—best suited for a slight arc stroke.
All-new HB SOFT 2 Black Putters add a premium, black satin finish and premium, multi-material UST Mamiya ALL-IN shaft to our acclaimed HB SOFT 2 lineup. Combine that with Cleveland Golf’s milled Speed Optimized Face Technology, plus a precisely fit hosel style, toe hang, alignment line, and grip, and you get consistent distance performance in a finely tuned, near-custom Putter for a practical price.
UST MAMIYA ALL-IN SHAFT
It's only fitting we'd build these premium HB SOFT 2 Black Putters with premium components, like half carbon fiber, half steel, UST Mamiya ALL-IN shafts. Featuring advanced stability and the feel of a multi-material shaft, their optimally balanced designs use high-tensile carbon fiber and proprietary nanoalloys to add stiffness, strength, and consistency.
SOFT: SPEED OPTIMIZED FACE TECHNOLOGY
With SOFT, densely grouped groove lines in the center of the face expand toward the heel and toe, balancing the energy transfer across the striking area to normalize ball speed. Translation? You get more predictable distances on every putt, even on miss-hits.
And it doesn't stop there. To keep distances consistent no matter which HB SOFT 2 Black head shape you choose, our engineers measured the CG and MOI properties of each model and adjusted its face milling pattern for optimal alignment. Try saying that five times fast.
STROKE SPECIFIC DESIGN
Whether you're into blades, mallets, or a hybrid of the two, HB SOFT 2 Black Putters feature nine designs carefully assembled for straight or slight arc stroke types. Once you select your stroke type and desired Putter head shape, we've got everything else matched to complement that—hosel style, toe hang, alignment system, and grip—so you can confidently stand over the ball knowing everything is completely in sync.
CONSISTENT SWING FEEL
Each HB SOFT 2 Black Putter has a consistent swing feel—model to model—no matter which shaft length you choose. Our R&D team carefully analyzed every HB SOFT 2 Black Putter shape at each shaft length available, then used a counterbalance weight to perfect both standard lengths. Plus, both stock grips are weighted equally, so swing feel and balance consistency don't change whether you're using the oversize or the pistol grip.
SLIGHT ARC STROKE ALIGNMENT
A single line system provides straightforward alignment at address while flowing nicely with an arcing stroke.
SLIGHT ARC STROKE GRIP
The HB SOFT 2 Pistol classic pistol grip is designed to facilitate natural hand turn through an arcing stroke.
