NEW!! Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft

[fatrambo]

I was just doing my nightly browse on the golf sites and I came across Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft putters. It looks like they came out with a few different head styles, and my favorite, the #11 with a slant neck. Does anyone have any more information about these?

How much more soft can they be? I have a Huntington Beach that I used to play and the deep killing made it the softest putter I have ever hit... I wondering what these will feel like.

I'm curious too. They aren't listed on cleveland golf's website.

Just got the email this morning about this new line. They are on the website now.

New designs on the website now—there is an offering in an 8.5, 11C, and 12. I already own a 2, 3, and 6C. Looks like Cleveland will be getting more of my money...

[jtitleist12]

Cleveland dropped the ball by making the head weights 370g which is way too heavy...

 

If these were 350g I would have bought one by now.

I've been eyeing the 2 for a few weeks now. No where to demo but I love the look of it. Single dot alignment with parallel lines! I haven't used a toe down putter in YEARS so I'm a little leary. But the single bend shaft seems like it's not as bad.

The #11 TFi 2135 always looked good to me (as a #7 devotee), but I like the look of the Huntington Soft better. Cleaner, not as busy. Pretty sweet they offer both slant neck and double bend options.

 

Regardless of model, Cleveland putters have a great reputation for low cost and high quality.

I'm eyeing the #6. I have that model in the classic series and love it. Hopefully it will be offered in LH as their site only lists righty.

To be fair, they do have one model that is 350, the 1.

The 2 is what I have in the bag currently, and I really like it. I bought it sight unseen online (one of the great things about these putters is that the price point isn’t prohibitive in that respect). I like the toe down alignment in that it feels remarkably easy to set the putter up squarely behind the ball.

 

I did a little reading on the new line—the SOFT stands for Speed Optimized Face Technology. Essentially, it means that the ball will travel the same distance regardless of whether it is hit in the center of the putter face or whether it is mis-hit. Looking forward to trying one of these out.

True but mid mallets are all the rage now...:)

 

Cleveland must think everyone plays a 33" putter because at 34-35" a 370g head is a sledge hammer!

It seems a lot of companies including Cleveland are going after the TR Groove concept. I'm sure others came before PING with this tech but it seems to work. These definitely have my attention at the price point.

[trying2scratch]

Very cool, and unexpected! These look really clean. The 6, 8.5 and 11 are lookin sweet. 1/2 shaft offsets too woohoo!!! The 8.5 is very cool design with a top line and hidden hosel!!! A mid mallet with no alignment line on the flange?? Is that a first for any OEM?

 

Interesting design for a great price... has me intrigued.

They're actually similar to HB Collection at center and firmer as you move heel/toe.

[ac49801]

Wow. Might just give the 11 a whirl. You can even change the paint fill for just $10. Loft and lie changes are free.

[Mgov]

And no love for us lefties. Still a 1 and that's it.

Agree with this. I would give the 11 a serious look if it were lighter. 360g I could live with at 35” but 370g, no way. Feels like a sledge hammer as you said.

Well I lucked up today and got a change to hit the new models in a local Golf Store (Duke's in Annapolis). I was really impressed with the 11. It set up beautifully behind the ball and it's actually a relatively small head. Felt amazing! Really easy to align. Couldn't really tell any benefits of the face on the few putts I hit. I also tried the 6 but the look didn't really fit my eye.

 

I had to rush out as I was just getting a club quickly bent but I'll go back and hit some more. Definitely impressed with the little I saw.

I am on the other side of the spectrum, and appreciate a good “sledgehammer”

The Huntington Beach Soft #11 comes in lh. I’ve ordered one.

I'm with you. I don't even consider 350 gram putters anymore.

I picked up this one today. It is a great stick. Sits well & produces excellent roll.

Lovely looking putter. I may have to pick one of these up. Does it have a little less toe hang than a standard Anser?

Thanks for the top down. I have some credit at RBG that’s about to used I think. How’s the stock grip?

Thanks. Toe hang is just past 8 o’clock

Terrible. I swapped it upon buying.

This is the same one I am looking at! I was blown away with the Huntington Line - the most underrated and under valued putter for the price point!

 

This one has everything that I love in a putter shape of a Notchback, sight line of the Juno and the feel of a deep etched Scotty. What is not to like!

Golf Pride Tour Tradition with an extra wrap. It’s my go to. I really like this putter.
