Cleveland designed by collection...

[astebel]

Here is my Cleveland Designed By collection (small letters)... Still missing the BeCu putter... Let me know if I am missing any others. I know there are large and small letter versions of some of the putters...

Outstanding collection!! Love the Ben Crenshaws, and the black melonite blade. I have had about 5 of those misc putters in your collection over the years. I also had the BeCu, and passed it along. I also picked up a BeNi last year, and passed it along too (dumb move at times). Thanks for showing your classic pieces

[luciddream]

Nice! Would you be able to post some close ups of the milled blade?

nice... are there any noticeable differences in the head shapes?
was the corey pavin model a designed by?

[WilCox]

Nice looking collection. I couldn't tell if there was a BeNi in the picture or not. I especially like the melonite.

[astebel]

No BeNi. Guess I have to hunt for that one as well!

I've got the Corey Pavin model. Such a great putter.

OP, you have a sickness!

Well, if you're looking to complete the actual collection, you've still got a whole bunch of lefties that you'll need to add. Can't really tell, but it looks like you're also short a the Manganese Bronze Designed by. Stage1350's kind of an authority on these and would probably know which ones have the tour/large letter versions and any other variations. I'm a big fan of these blades. Have a few myself. Very nice collection.

Nice collection.

I have the two on the far left of your photo.

One which has "DESIGNED BY Cleveleand" and one which reads "DESIGNED BY Cleveland Classic" on
the sole. I've attached a pic of the latter.

Does anyone know if these putters are stainless steel or carbon steel, and if carbon
steel are they chrome plated?

many thanks,

[garyb1577]

Hi can anyone give me any info on a cleveland blade putter that reads on the bottom "designed by Corey Pavin "Cleveland

[skraly]

It’s the same as the standard Designed by. Just with Pavin’s name on the sole. The same with the Crenshaw Designed by. I have all three in steel and these are only differences I can discern.

[garyb1577]

Thanks Skarly ive searched and cant find any info abt it at all would it be worth anything

[4rheel]

Got this special one for sale. All original and well kept.

[4rheel]

Anyone seen one of these before? Specially made by Roger for his friend Yuki.

[ALIF]

Nice Ironmaster copy like the one Jumbo Ozaki used.

[4rheel]

That makes sense as Yuki grew up playing with Jumbo.

[teevons]

here are

a few, the holy grail are the ones made by Scotty Cameron for Ben Crenshaw with Ben stamped on head

[golfunderpar18]

Some of mine. Love my Cleveland designed bys

[golfunderpar18]

Nice putter that I’ve seen on eBay. Just not original Though.. Different paint fill and It’s clearly been refinished.

[BIG STU]

Looks exactly like a Macgregor JN -100 which was a IM-5 back in the day

[bripgall3265]

Mr. Cameron had major input in that Crenshaw milled Designed By.

[4rheel]

You’re kidding right? This was handed over personally from Roger Cleveland’s himself.

[golfunderpar18]

what does having it handed over by Roger Cleveland have to do with it?

Was the stock / original paint fill yellow? No. was the stock finish glossy? No, it was matte. Mine has never been used so maybe usage made the matte finish glossy? Not sure. Stock finish on this is a matte finish. Just looking at the photos of yours vs mine. picture comparison to follow. If it’s just a lighting / camera thing....which it could be. I don’t care either way. These are great putters.

[golfunderpar18]

 

Mine on top yours, always second

Same again - mine then yours

 

[PALS-SSA]

He's not kidding. The originals had a Melonite finish, not a gun blue. The originals had mill marks everywhere. Yours is lapped smooth and the edges are radiused consistent with grinding/buffing. If you weigh yours, it will likely be below 310g, as the originals were closer to 320g due to weight loss. Plus, every Crenshaw Milled I have ever seen or owned has the same paintfill as golfingunderpar18's model.

It might have been handed over personally from Roger Cleveland, but it was refinished first.

[tdadams]

Recently picked up a Cleveland Classic I blade putter similar to that portrayed in teevon’s picture above.  Can anyone give me any specs/history on it?   Approximate year of manufacture, etc.  

[Golfingfanatic]

Sorry to bump this old thread, but has anyone ever seen a designed by mallet? There is one on ebay that looks kinda like a GoLo M3 wanted to know the backstory of these things.

I have had several Cleveland Designed by putters during my golf playing and golf collecting days.  I've had a couple OTR Cleveland Designed by putters, one Designed by Cleveland Classic (large letter, chrome), one Designed by Cleveland Classic (small letter-chrome), a couple Designed by Ben Crenshaw (chrome) in the past.  I have moved every one of those.  As of late I picked up two Cleveland Designed by putters.  One is a Designed by Cleveland Classic BeCu and the other is a raw Designed by Ben Crenshaw.  I used 150 grit sandpaper to apply a satin finish on the Designed by Ben Crenshaw raw and will let this putter develop a "patina".  The raw weight was 313g so I have also added about 16g of lead tape on the sole to get this putter around 330g.  I found an early 60s Head Speed shaft that has the original foil shaft label and installed it on the Designed by Ben Crenshaw raw.  The original shaft on the BeCu was cut down to 33" so I am going to replace that with another early 60s Head Speed shaft that I just obtained.  This shaft is near perfect and the shaft label is in excellent condition.  I will post pics when the BeCu is shafted and gripped.  I am still deciding on what grips to put on as I have a couple of leather wrap putter underlistings with leather wraps and grip collars or a GripmasterUSA pistol leather slip on. 

 

I am, and probably always be, in the hunt for a Designed by Arnold Palmer that is in very good to excellent condition and a price I am willing to offer.  One of these days.

BeCu is hopefully going to be my next Designed by. Just picked up a Ben Crenshaw Milled today. Will upload some pics once it arrives. I would love to find a Never Compromise Robusto to add to the collection as well. As it was designed by Crenshaw and Cleveland in a limited release. Seems hard to find them since NC ceased, quite a shame.
