In our forums, one user is hipping fellow members to what they consider to be the biggest sleeper putter in golf, the Cleveland HB Soft 2.

“I’ve been on the forums for years, and have owned everything more than once. Over the last few years, I have kept only my absolute favorite customs, and have searched for a gamer. I had been using face balanced mallets with upgrade shafts the last season or two, but I really now believe there is no better bang for your buck in golf.

“With Cleveland’s new line…you get a putter a nice milled face with a little technology (no mushy inserts), a premium dark finish, and the UST All-In shaft, for UNDER $300 Canadian loonies.

“If you are still mucking around and looking for something out there like I have been doing, do yourself a favor and give them a try.”

Our members in the forum offered up their thoughts on what is reportedly a vastly underrated flat stick. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

• @BombsIntoTheWoods: “Totally agree, you can even find last years models slightly used with the all in shaft for ~$100 US. Just a crazy deal.”
• @valdezrl: “I was not a fan of the black version with the All-In shaft, but the steel shafted matte silver 11s I just got is a real diamond in the rough. I still can’t get over just how soft the face is for a non-insert putter. Might be one of if not the best putter deal in golf.”
• @BlkNGld: “Cleveland putters have long been notoriously underrated.”
• @357MAGNOLE: “Agreed. Mine cost me less than $70 off eBay and still had the plastic on the head. Cut it down a inch and added the super stroke pistol grip and counter balance weight for another $40. All in at $110 it is really hard to beat. I do have my eye on the newer Mizuno mcraft line, but that’s going to have to wait until I can get hands on time first. ”
