Cleveland Putters

[mosnas]

So I was a sports store today (normally where I buy my hockey gear) and it turns out they have a little selection of Irons mostly Nike and Cleveland clubs.  Anyways I was looking at putters and stumbled upon a nice looking spin milled (I think thats what its called) putter.  It felt like it was well weighted I looked at the Price tag and it was $59.99 Cleveland it looked like it was a few years old.

Anyways my question I know some of you will be thinking test it out if it feels good take it.  but I was just wondering what the quality of Cleveland putters are like? Are the inexpensive cause they are poorly made, or inexpensive because they are not as well known for putters like Titleist and Odyssey?

Cleveland changed to using face inserts. If it doesn't have a plastic face insert - looks like it's milled - buy it. I think it has Classsic stamped on the bottom. (Mines in the car, so I can't check it out.)

If it says soft stainless - BUY IT !   Those are "sleeper's"  - mine holds its own against my Scotty Camerons. Soft and feels good.

They actually sold or I should say didn't sell for $59 new - why I don't know.

I don't think they made that many and didn't advertise them. The stock grips a cheapie and that can be changed.

http://www.golf.com/photos/clubtest-2010-blade-putters/cleveland-classic-4-putter is I think along the lines of what it looks like not positive if the one I was looking at was soft stainless. When I saw it I saw red grip immediately thought that is odd that this store would have a Cameron putter.  It definitely didn't have an insert because that is what took me as a shocker.  My current putter has that agsi aluminium insert that I hate, I bought it a few years ago for 140 and couldn't justify spending another 130+ on a new one.

Possibly the most underated putters out there IMO.  I have a black 1.5 and love it.

The one I have looks like this.  304 Stainless which is a softer grade.

Ya I think when I get the chance this weekend maybe I'll buy it. For $60 you can't really lose, plus I'll try selling a few of my wedges to make up for it.

I have a black milled center shafted 5.5 "classic" collection Cleveland putter. To me, the Cleveland classic milled putters are some the best flatsticks out there...not to mention the price (around $80 new). I HATE inserts, and I have owned two scottys and these to me are better than scotty's- total sleepers in my opinion.

Cleveland putters are cheaper because they arent as well-known.  Ive owned several of them and theyre great putters.
