Technology in Detail
Speed Optimized Face Technology (SOFT)
Cleveland Golf's milled Speed Optimized Face Technology is the heart of the HB SOFT 2 Black putter. Densely grouped groove lines in the centre of the face gradually expand toward the heel and toe, carefully balancing the energy transfer across the entire striking area. This engineering ensures ball speed is normalised even on off-centre hits, delivering predictable and consistent distance control on every putt. Engineers measured the CG and MOI properties of Model 15 specifically and adjusted its face milling pattern for optimal alignment and energy transfer unique to this head shape.
UST Mamiya ALL-IN Multi-Material Shaft
The premium UST Mamiya ALL-IN shaft is a key upgrade that sets the HB SOFT 2 Black apart from the standard HB SOFT 2 lineup. Built from half high-tensile carbon fibre and half steel, the shaft employs proprietary nanoalloys to deliver exceptional stiffness, strength, and stroke-to-stroke consistency. The optimally balanced, multi-material design provides advanced stability and a refined feel that translates feedback from the face directly to the hands. Putters of 35 inches or longer also feature a 20g counterbalance weight in the butt end of the shaft to maintain a consistent swing feel regardless of length chosen.
Unique Angular Full Mallet Head
Model 15 is one of three full mallet options in the HB SOFT 2 Black range, distinguished by its unique, angular head geometry. The modern shape provides an expanded footprint for a higher moment of inertia, resisting twisting on off-centre contact and maintaining directional accuracy. The single bend hosel positions the putter as face balanced, making it the ideal match for golfers with a straight putting stroke. The result is a visually confident setup that encourages a consistent, repeatable stroke every time you step onto the green.
Premium Black Satin Finish
The all-new black satin finish is far more than a cosmetic upgrade. Its matte surface dramatically reduces glare and light reflections that can distract your eye during address and the putting stroke. The clean, premium aesthetic complements the angular head shape and the dark shaft, creating a visually cohesive, elegant appearance at address. The finish is durable, designed to withstand the daily demands of competitive golf while retaining its sophisticated look season after season.
Three-Line Alignment System
The high-contrast, three-line alignment system on Model 15 is specifically designed to complement the face balanced, straight stroke profile. The bold, black-bordered lines provide an immediate and clear reference point at address, making it straightforward to align the putter face square to your intended target line. By removing doubt and hesitation from the setup routine, the alignment system helps golfers commit to the stroke with confidence. The clean visual presentation avoids unnecessary clutter while delivering maximum aiming precision.
HB SOFT 2 Pistol Oversize Grip
The HB SOFT 2 Pistol Oversize grip is purpose-built to complement Model 15's straight-stroke design. Its larger diameter quiets excessive hand and wrist movement through impact, encouraging a more shoulder-driven, pendulum-style stroke for greater repeatability. Despite its Oversize profile, the grip maintains excellent tactile feedback so you never lose touch with the putter head. At 72g and .600" in diameter, the grip is weighted to work in harmony with the counterbalanced shaft, ensuring the swing feel and balance remain consistent whether you choose the 34" or 35" length.
