For those of you who've purchased (and hopefully played with) the 11c, any feedback yet??

 

2 rounds on the 11c for me. I hit the center of the face more often with this than any other putter I have ever had I think, but it is super soft on the center, even with a zstarxv. I tend to hit long lags of the heel with any putter, including this one, and it rolls good.

i removed the stock grip in favor of a mid slim 2.0 counter core with a 25 gram weight added and it feels much better and more balanced than the stock grip.

 

It sets up better to my eye than most putters I have tried, but I have not made any more putts with it than my previous putter. I haven't had many 3 putts which is good, but I have had trouble getting the ball to the hole. Super soft.

The head shape is probably the best for a center shaft in my opinion that i have looked down on. I also feel like it is pretty easy to aim.

Im giving it a few more rounds to see if I can get the ball rolling more. If it were more firm on center contact it would be perfect.

 

Im coming from a 7s, which I putted well with, and this is my first real go with a center shaft in many years, so I am making a pretty big change.

 

It is a very nice putter for the price

 

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! The only thing I was worried about was the SOFT part....as some have mentioned, the previous model HB I have (6c) is one of the softest feeling putters I've ever owned....almost to a fault. So I'm not sure how I'll feel about possibly a softer face than the prior! Will have to go try and find one to hit at PGASS.

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.

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

 

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!

Real men play the Anser or Anser 2 head style. Mallets are for the weak.

Lol. I think the mallets are for the "men" who are tired of missing putts!

I love my anser style putter but the new fang style ones are really something to check out. I got a great deal on the Odyssey 7 and really loved the feel of the HB Soft 11. Both had great weighting and really rolled the ball well.

 

Don’t hate before trying one out

[DK<80]

Bumping this thread.....has anybody picked one up and taken it out on the course yet?

[agood3putt]

Bump on this thread too. Any on course review/updates?

[Unteachable]

Im really enjoying my 11c. very solid putter. Great on short putts and I have gotten used to the longer putts quite well. It came alive with a better grip for me

[lspky_muskie]

Got a great deal on an 11 today. Rolled it on an outdoor green before taking it home, and it’s about perfect. If you didn’t know it was a $100 putter, you’d think it was a premium putter going for 3 or 4 times the price.

 

Want to find someone to do paint fill on the wing flanges. Not sure I’m brave enough to do it myself.

Does anyone know if they make the 11 slant neck in left handed?

 

Cleveland’s website shows they only make it in the double bend shaft but pretty much every golf website offers the slant neck in lefty so don’t know what to believe.

Finally got to roll a few of the HB Soft models at the PGA Superstore at Hilton Head this weekend. I foresee owning at least a couple of them in the future.

I've had the HB Soft 11 for 2 weeks but the rain in East TN has been unreal. Haven't had a chance to roll it yet don't know what to expect. The milling is very aggressive for sue.

[Konklifer]

I love the 6 & 8.5. Have the latter on the way.

[rufus mangler]

I have one round, and several practice sessions with an 11 soft. Coming off a WH Pro 7, the HBS 11 is slightly duller, gummier, less jumpy feeling, like any other deeply milled putter, but still very solid, not clicky. The weight and sound is nice and it lines up really easy. I took 30 putts with it on slow, kind of bumpy greens, so I'm not changing anything... yet. When I do, it will be the SS style grip. I'll give it one more round. I'm more of a Winn Pistol guy.

Earlier this winter I had been going back and forth on which putter to purchase. I narrowed it down to a Scotty Futura 5.5, Odyssey Stroke Lab 7, and a Cleveland HB Soft 11c. I had used a center shaft in the past but had moved over to an Odyssey Sabertooth for the last few seasons. I just never seemed to hole out any 10 footers and thought it was time for a change. My Golf Galaxy or PGA Store didn't carry the Cleveland so I bought it online and brought it to Golf Galaxy for a few one hour session putt-offs to see which of the 3 performed best. Hands down the Cleveland won for 3-4, 8-10, & 25-30 foot categories. Since deciding to keep the Cleveland I have played 5 rounds on 5 different courses. Two had greens rolling true and fast, one with average greens, and 2 bumpy coming out of the NJ winter. Lagging putts was very easy and I love the alignment. I've knocked in more mid-range putts than I can remember.

I just want to say thanks for the comments by those in this thread and other threads about the Cleveland that helped me make the decision to purchase that putter in the first place.
