Cleveland Classic HB-4.5

The 2013 Cleveland Classic HB-4.5 sits within Cleveland Golf's Classic lineup as a traditional Anser style head design, according to thehackersparadise.com, which reported the putter carrying a slant neck, around 3/4 offset, and a single siteline for alignment. The publication also listed a 340 gram head weight, availability in 33, 34, and 35 inch lengths, a Black Pearl finish, a new Winn grip, and an MSRP of 99.00 USD.

On milling, thehackersparadise.com described a face milled construction with a slightly deeper CNC milling pattern on the face. The same outlet found the putter fitting comfortably into the Classic line's design language, calling it a very classic design that suits the Classic name well, and it noted a decent amount of toe-hang, which it associated with suitability for players with an arc stroke.

Community opinion on the HB-4.5 echoes much of this: praise for the classic Anser style shaping, for alignment that reads well at address, and for toe-hang that pairs naturally with an arc putting stroke. Against the rest of the Classic edition, the HB-4.5 reads as a straightforward, unadorned execution of the Anser form, with the milling depth and offset cited by thehackersparadise.com as the details that separate it from a plain reproduction.
