Cleveland launches new TFi 2135 and Huntington Beach Collection Putters

Published

on

In 2015, Cleveland launched a line of TFi putters that feature a raised sight line that was positioned at the equator of a golf ball to make alignment easier. After positive results and reviews, including one of our own, Cleveland has extended its line with new mallet options.

While the TFi putters have a less-than-classic look, Cleveland is also offering options for traditionalists by launching its new Huntington Beach Collection putters — named after the sea-side town in California where the company resides.

With two drastically different lines for golfers with different needs and preferences on the greens, Cleveland may just have a putter suited for everyone.

New TFi Models

For a reminder of how the technology works, here’s a graphic from Cleveland.

Like the original models, each of the new mallet heads have a milled, copper-infused aluminum face with a layer behind it made from polymer; the combination creates a softer feel. And since the face is significantly lighter than a face made from steel, weight was able to be distributed more rearward in the putter heads for greater stability and forgiveness on off-center hits, according to Cleveland.

Below are the three new models; Cero, Elevado (and Elevado Counter-Balanced option), and Mezzo.

TFi Cero

The new Cero has an elongated sightline, and a ring-like shape for stability and forgiveness. Its head weight is 370 grams, and it’s available in 33-, 34- and 35-inch lengths.

TFi Elevado

The Elevado has two wings for both added stability and additional assistance with alignment. It’s available in 33-, 34- and 35-inch with a head weight of 370 grams.

The TFi Eleveado also comes in a counter-balanced model, which has a head weight of 405 grams, and is available in lengths of 35 and 38 inches.

TFi Mezzo

The lightest of the TFi extension line is the Mezzo, with a head weight of 360 grams. It has a center-shafted design with slight onset, and has new-age, angular head shape.

The new TFi putters will be available on Sept. 16 for $159.99 (the Elevado Counter-Balanced option will sell for $199.99). There will be a $10 upcharge for the Winn Pro X (1.32 inches) grip.

Huntington Beach

The Huntington Beach Collection features three models (No. 6, No. 4 and No. 1), each of which are made from soft 304 Stainless Steel with a precision-milled face.

The diamond-shaped pattern on the face, which measures 0.012 inches, is four times deeper than the company’s Classic Collection HB putter faces (0.003 inches). The depth of the milling is designed to impart more friction on the golf ball for a truer roll, as well as a softer feel.

Learn more about each of the head styles below, each of which can be bent 4 degrees in each direction to fit your desired lie angle.

HB No. 1

4ec56b9c0210c13cc4418ce06b7cf18c

The No. 1 is a blade with a plumber’s neck with soft, curved edges, and weighs in at 345 grams.

HB No. 4

854f15a1f1806826e5b35d266cc4f6cd

Model No. 4 is also a blade with a plumber’s neck, but has more sharp edges and angles for a more-squared off look.

HB No. 6

00ce4a3e8f5e40a7a2aafa098cf698e1

Cleveland’s No. 6 model is a mid-mallet with a double-bend shaft.

    I rocked a Cleveland HB6 for a while. Really enjoyed the feel but the head felt so light. I then went to a Ping Piper S, Scotty fastback, and now I am hooked with my Nike Method Mod. It is the perfect combo of weight, milled feel but softness of an insert. Going to buy another one before they all but disappear from the market.

    I have used Clevelands in the past with good success. Did not care much for the brass faced versions. However, since getting my Bettinardi Queen Bee 6, I have stopped putter shopping.

    The Elevate looks GOOD! A nice play on the old #7 type. Good job, Cleveland

    I tried the TFi earlier this year on a whim the over-length conterbalanced model with an oversized blade-look head. It was automatic, I bought it and it’s easily the best putter I have had. EVERYBODY I know that tries it are hugely impressed too..It looks a bit odd, but the results speak for themselves. My buddy has a counterbalanced Scotty, also over-length, and he got this absent look in his eyes after trying my putter around the practice green.

    Honestly, aside from the sole of the putter, these look cheap to me. They almost have a “cast” look to them like the old original Ping Ansers (which I understand some people like). They just don’t have that refined look of Cameron, Bettinardi, Toulon, Edel, Lamb, etc.

    But then again, I’m not sure what more we could really expect for the excellent price point of $99. Those other putters I mentioned routinely sell for $300+ and in most cases much more.

    Now I’m not going to sit here and comment saying I’ve used every putter on the market… However, I have used a large majority of them; from Betti’s to Topflite, (even the dreaded “Scotty faced milled’s). I will say that Cleveland struggles to sell putters, I don’t really know why because they are basically a cheaper version of the Scotty Cameroon’s you see flying out the door with an almost $400 price tag? Please.
    I am not the best putter in the world hence why I have garnered the nickname “4puttfor90”. Cleveland is actually trying to help people save strokes off their putting game by trying new technology. Applause please. While Scotty Cameron is thinking of new ways to make putters at a cheaper cost, that feel worse, and at higher prices. (Go find me a milling mark other than the face on this years Scotty Cameron’s). You won’t find one on the Cleveland’s but you won’t find the $400 price tag either.

Odyssey extends Damascus Milled lineup with 3 new putters

Published

on

Odyssey Golf announced Tuesday that the already popular Damascus Milled putter lineup is getting more options.

Initially launched back in April, only in a Damascus Milled #7 head (in plumbers or double bend configurations), the family grows to four with a One Wide, Two and Rossie S shape, all available in the second limited-edition drop at retail on June 6th.

“Damascus Steel is a beautiful material, and the patterns tell the story, because every one is different” said Odyssey General Manager, Jacob Davidson. “But what stands out is that  as beautiful as these putters are, the feedback from Tour has been the exceptional feel of these putters. We wanted to deliver the most premium performance-driven putter we’ve ever done at Odyssey. When you look at this product, we have so much confidence because there is not one thing we’d do different. On this one we really took our time over  the last couple years to try to perfect the design.”

Created from a layered construction of multiple steel alloys, this Damascus Steel insert is forged, folded and pressed to create a unique, striking pattern in every piece. Think of it like a fingerprint. Each Damascus construction comes with its own 1-of-1 style pattern. No offerings will ever look the same.

The layered structure, combined with a specialized heat treatment, delivers a finely tuned, highly responsive feel different from other insert materials. The Damascus steel is audibly different compared to other inserts, potentially with slightly more feedback. Odyssey also uses AI-designed back contours to maintain consistent ball speed across the face, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern tech.

Each head in the line is precision-milled from stainless steel and features a blasted silver finish to complement the Damascus insert and sole plates.

With Tour feedback, Odyssey has also developed, in collaboration with Golf Pride, a grip featuring meticulously crafted edges, pistol shaping and a classic modern tour feel.

L.A.B. Golf launches new VZN.1i putter

Published

on

L.A.B. Golf has been the pioneer when it comes to Lie Angle Balanced putters for years now. When you talk to another golfer and zero torque putters comes up, as it will since it is the hottest thing in golf, the first brand out of their mouthes is L.A.B. Golf. Currently their putter line up has something for every golfer, wether your like blades or mallets. But the company has a new creation for golfers that we saw out on tour just a few weeks ago and is now available to us, the VZN.1i putter.

One of the big stories with the new VZN.1i putter is alignment in the form of the shape. L.A.B. has always given us plenty of alignment options in their putters with different line formations and shapes that can be laser etched onto the top of the putter. With this new design they used the shape of the head and the open cavity in the middle to help enhance the alignment for players. These shapes help players lock into their intended line to improve accuracy and concistency.

“VZN.1i was approached formulaically by combining everything we’ve learned from the success of previous L.A.B. Golf models into a familiar mallet shape that’s easy on the eyes and even easier to putt with,” said Cameron Day, Senior Vice President of Product at L.A.B. Golf. “Every L.A.B. putter is engineered to roll the ball on its intended line through Lie Angle Balance technology. With VZN.1i, we took things a step further by simplifying another critical aspect of putting: alignment.”

Like most of the other L.A.B. mallet putters the VZN.1i is machined from a solid block of aluminum and features a 303 stainless steel face insert. Steel face inserts on all L.A.B. putters not only enhance the sound and feel but they improve ball speed for better distance control. The new shaping also offers two ways of picking up your ball, using the sole or the rear flange can scoop up the ball. The company is offering the VZN.1i with a 1.5 degree forward shaft lean or a vertical shaft option in order to fit more golfers. Each VZN.1i is hand balanced and 10 other stages before it is complete and ready to ship. L.A.B. has its custom program where the golfer can select their length and lie but also head color, shaft upgrades, and grips to make their VZN.1i fit them perfectly.

The VZN.1i is available now starting at $499 for stock models and $599 for custom.

2026 Edition: Most comfortable walking shoe? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, one user has asked a question sure to interest all sorts of golfers. What’s the most comfortable walking shoe of 2026?

@RobDMB posed the following question:

“Looking for suggestions/recommendations on the currently available most comfortable walking shoes – preferably waterproof. Essentially looking for something comfortable like a running shoe, but with some stability and waterproof for golf. Decent room in toe box as well. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own recommendations on the best walking shoes that can also survive a number of golf rounds. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • SheriffBooth: “To check all your boxes I’d vote for whichever of the current Nike lineup fits your feet the best. Obviously the Victory Pro 4 and Victory Tour 4 are good enough for the two best players in the world, but the new Pegasus, Next% Tour 3, and Tempo all look really good too.”
  • i*windows: “when I had issues with my feet I played in Asics running shoes they were a little bit like the hoka’s above, very comfortable, now I’m back to Ecco shoes which are great.”
  • mshills: “Everyone’s feet are different so this will be a long list of lots of different shoes. For me, anything from Ecco’s Biom lineup. Nothing else comes close.”
