The Cleveland HB Soft 2 Black #11S RH 35 is one of the strongest options in the HB Soft 2 lineup for golfers wanting maximum forgiveness while still maintaining natural toe flow during the putting stroke.
The defining feature is the winged #11S mallet head, one of Cleveland's most forgiving and stable designs. The larger winged structure pushes weight far toward the perimeter of the putter, dramatically increasing MOI (Moment of Inertia). In practical terms, this means:
More stability through impact
Less twisting on mishits
Straighter and more consistent putts
Unlike the standard face-balanced #11 model, the #11S uses a slant neck hosel, which introduces slight toe hang. This makes the putter much better suited to golfers with:
Slight arc putting strokes
Natural face rotation through impact
Players who find face-balanced mallets too rigid
One of the major upgrades in the Black series is the premium component package. Cleveland added:
A stealth-style Black Satin finish
A premium UST Mamiya ALL-IN shaft
More refined overall swing feel and balance
The UST shaft combines steel and advanced carbon materials to improve stiffness and consistency while still maintaining soft feel through the stroke. The result is a smoother and more stable putting experience compared to standard steel-only builds.
Cleveland's SOFT (Speed Optimized Face Technology) is another major strength. Instead of using identical milling across the face, Cleveland varies the groove pattern from center to heel and toe to help maintain consistent ball speeds on off-centre strikes.
The result is:
Better distance control
More predictable roll
Improved forgiveness on mishits
At 35 inches, Cleveland also integrates a counterweight in the butt end of the shaft to help smooth out tempo and improve overall swing consistency.
The combination of:
Winged mallet forgiveness
Slant neck toe flow
Premium blacked-out aesthetics
makes the #11S one of the most balanced putters in the HB Soft 2 range for golfers who want modern forgiveness without sacrificing natural feel.
Community feedback on the HB Soft lineup has also been extremely positive, with many golfers specifically praising the soft milled feel and excellent value compared to much more expensive putters.
