Cleveland Golf HB Soft 2 Model 11 putter, 35" Silver — centre-shafted, oversized grip, right-hand

The Cleveland Golf HB Soft 2 Putter Model 11 is a stroke‑specific, oversized‑grip, center‑shafted 35" putter engineered to deliver more consistent distance and a balanced feel for right‑hand players.

This HB SOFT 2 Model 11 blends Cleveland's Speed Optimized Face Technology with stroke‑specific geometry and tuned componentry so each head shape performs predictably from the first putt. The design pairs a center‑shaft configuration and oversized grip with a balanced swing weight and a 20g butt weight (for 35" and up) to deliver repeatable contact and more uniform ball speeds across an enlarged sweet spot.

How does the face technology improve distance control?

Speed Optimized Face Technology uses a patterned milling groove to regulate ball speed across a wider area of the face. That reduces the variance between center and off‑center strikes so distance becomes more predictable even on imperfect contact.

• Dynamic groove milling evens out ball velocity across the face.
• Enlarged striking area increases forgiveness on misreads.
• More consistent terminal speed helps with distance control on long and short putts.

What makes this putter specific to stroke type?

The HB SOFT 2 family is built around stroke‑specific designs: each head shape is paired with a hosel, toe‑hang and alignment scheme suited for straight or slight‑arc strokes. Model 11’s center shaft promotes neutral toe hang and a balanced feel, ideal for players seeking a centered release.

• Nine head designs in the HB SOFT 2 line target different stroke paths.
• Model 11 uses center shafting to support a straight, pendulum‑type stroke.
• Complementary hosel and alignment features reduce setup guesswork.

Will the putter feel consistent across different shaft lengths?

Cleveland adds a 20g weight into the butt end of the shaft for all HB SOFT 2 models 35" and longer to equalize swing feel model to model. That ensures your stroke feel remains steady if you compare Model 11 to other sizes in the line or select a different length.

• Factory‑installed 20g butt weight on 35"+ models for balanced swing weight.
• Consistent feel whether you choose standard or longer shafts.
• Helps maintain the designed toe hang and tempo across variations.

How does the oversized grip affect performance?

The oversized grip reduces wrist action and promotes a smoother, more stable stroke for players who prefer less hand manipulation. Paired with the center shaft, it encourages a centered arc and simpler alignment at address.

• Limits excessive wrist break for improved repeatability.
• Increases contact surface for a confident setup and hold.
• Works with the head’s balance to support a pendulum stroke.

Who this putter is for: The Cleveland Golf HB Soft 2 Model 11 is aimed at right‑handed golfers seeking a straight, pendulum‑style stroke with an oversized grip and a stable, center‑shafted head. It suits players who value consistent distance control from an enlarged sweet spot and prefer a near‑custom feel without custom pricing. If you want a forgiving, balanced putter optimized for predictable ball speed and an easier setup, this Model 11 is a strong match.
