Just picked up the older 4.5 version of this putter and I must say, I've always been attracted to the anser style head but the slant neck works a little better with my eye at address.

Anyone play one of these putters? I think they're great for the price, I picked mine up for 70 at Golfsmith..

Ive got a standard Cleveland Classic 2 and I like it.  Its a great putter for the price.  If you didnt know better you could easily think they they cost 2-3x what they really do.  Until Mizuno makes the MP Craft putters available in the U.S., I dont see the CC2 leaving my bag.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

I was blown away by my CC2 (I like that acronym) when I got it. Distance control is unmatched. The shaft is too flexible and the head is a bit too toe heavy though. Until I decide whether to put on some lead tape or a heavier grip, it's in my bag o' spares and I use my wife's Odyssey WH#7 (used to be mine - she had it in her bag for ~ 7 years). I replaced her Odyssey with a Ray Cook Billy Baroo mid mallet (#4 or something) that is really nicely balanced, but the shaft is too short for me.

I have the CC4 and I love it, but I would like to have a CC2 in the black finish too, as a gamer or back up. They are great putters and at a great price.

I swear by my Cleveland Classic blade 1 putter. Looks great, and feels great, and the price ($70) is more than right.

EDIT: Looks like I've been out of the loop for a while; I didn't realize Cleveland released a new line of these putters. Even still, at $80, the price is great.

I bought mine mostly because I love the style of it.  Ive got an old Mizuno 0802 that is very similar but doesnt have the face milling that the CC2 has.  Im perfectly happy with my CC2.  Ive played Camerons, Odysseys, Kia Mas, Bettinardis and T.P. Mills putters and honestly, these Cleveland putters are right there with all of those putters.

Now, before all you Cameron fans get all bent out of shape, I said the CCs were RIGHT THERE, not that they were better.

If you posess a discriminating taste for putters, and in particular Cleveland models, check out the new Never Compromise (owned by Cleveland) Gambler limited edition putters. I noticed Steve Marino

using one this past weekend at The Palmer Invite.

Hard to get these babies. I'm looking for a the classic blade model Flush. Any leads?

Putters = 57 and counting

I tried one of the bronze, Anser-style putters. Liked it okay. Seems like a good club for the price.

I found a lot of great review of the CC, and always wanted to have one. When the chance arrived, I got a CC1 for EUR 40,- at the bay, added a cheap (2,50) karma mid-size putting grip, and to me, it's one of the best putters, I've ever played with.

When I find a cheap 4.5, I think I'll add that to my collection :)

I just ordered a Bronze 4.5 from Dicks Sporting Goods for $60 and can't wait to start using it.

    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
