Cleveland HB SOFT 2 Black Putter – RETREVE

On the specification sheet the RETREVE and Model 11 are the same putter: mallet head, single bend, face-balanced, cast 304 stainless with no insert, oversize grip, two lengths and both hands. Cleveland sells them as separate models, so the difference is in the head itself rather than in any number here.

The choice is easy to test. Both suit a stroke with no arc in it, both come in black in this generation, and both put the same amount of material behind the ball. Pick up each and see which one you would rather carry for four hours a week. The chrome RETREVE adds 38 inch and counterbalanced builds that this version doesn't offer.
