The Cleveland HB Soft Milled #1 is a blade putter featuring a milled face from soft 304 stainless steel for a buttery feel that rivals putters costing twice as much. Its classic Anser-style design with a plumbers-neck hosel produces moderate toe hang, making it one of the best-value blade putters for players who prioritize feel.
