FAQs

What is the main advantage of the HB Soft 2 Retreve Putter?

The primary advantage is the integrated ball retriever, which allows you to pick up your ball from the hole or ground without bending down, offering relief for your back, knees, and hips.

Does the retriever mechanism affect the putter's feel?

While meticulously engineered for consistent feel, the retriever mechanism does add some weight. This is balanced to maintain optimal performance, but some players may notice a difference compared to a traditional putter.

How does the Speed Optimized Face Technology work?

This technology features grooves on the face that are strategically placed to ensure uniform energy transfer across the striking area. This results in consistent ball speed and predictable distances, even on off-center hits.

How many designs are available for different strokes?

The HB SOFT 2 line offers nine intricately crafted designs suited for either straight or slight arc stroke styles, ensuring a match for various player preferences.

Is the grip interchangeable?

The HB Soft 2 Retreve Putter comes with stock grips (oversize or pistol) that are evenly weighted. While custom grips can often be fitted by a professional, ensure any replacement maintains the intended balance and swing feel.

What is the warranty period for this putter?

Information on warranty periods is typically found on the manufacturer's official website or through the retailer. Please refer to Cleveland Golf's official channels for specific warranty details.

Can the ball retriever be removed?

The integrated ball retriever is a permanent feature of the HB Soft 2 Retreve Putter and cannot be removed without altering the putter's design and function.

Troubleshooting

Putter feels heavier than expected.

The integrated retriever adds some weight. This is intentional for balance. If the feel is significantly off, ensure the shaft length is appropriate for your height and stroke. Consult a club fitter if concerns persist.

Ball retrieval mechanism is stiff or sticky.

Check the mechanism for any lodged debris. Gently clean the moving parts with a dry cloth or a very mild cleaning solution if necessary, ensuring it is thoroughly dried before use. Avoid forcing the mechanism.

Inconsistent ball speed on putts.

Ensure the clubface is clean and free of dirt or grass. Practice making solid contact in the center of the face. Verify that the putter's loft and lie angles are correctly set for your stroke.

Alignment is difficult.

Experiment with the high-contrast alignment system. Ensure you are approaching the ball square to your intended line. Some golfers find it helpful to use an alignment aid during practice to reinforce the correct setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HB Soft 2 Retreve Putter comes ready to use, with shaft lengths and grip options designed to suit a standard adult female golfer. If adjusting shaft length is desired, it should be performed by a qualified club fitter to maintain the putter's intended balance and feel.

Compatibility: This putter is designed for use on golf courses and practice greens. The integrated retriever is designed to work with standard golf balls and most cups. It is compatible with golf bags and stands.

Care: To maintain the putter's performance and appearance:

  1. Wipe the face and sole with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and moisture.
  2. Periodically clean the grooves with a soft brush or tee to ensure consistent ball-striking.
  3. The integrated retriever mechanism should be kept free of debris. Clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is dried thoroughly afterward.
  4. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
