Classic HB-4.5

The Cleveland Classic HB-4.5 exists on our record as a single release, dated 2013 and carrying the Classic edition name. There is no earlier or later entry in this lineup to chart a progression against, so the line's arc, for our purposes, is this one putter and how it was received when it arrived.

Reviewers who handled the HB-4.5 came away with a consistent read on it. It was praised for its classic Anser style design, its effective alignment, and its good toe hang suited to arc strokes, according to Community feedback logged at the time. Thehackersparadise.com struck a similar note, calling it a very classic design and remarking on how well it fit within the broader Classic lineup of putters, a positive assessment from that outlet.

Thehackersparadise.com's coverage also put some detail on the putter itself, describing a traditional Anser style head design, a single siteline for alignment, a Face Milled face, a Black Pearl finish, a new Winn grip, and a head weight of 340 grams. These are the publication's own reported figures, not the maker's, and they stand as one outlet's account of the 2013 release rather than a verified spec.

Taken together, what we hold on the HB-4.5 is a single, well regarded entry point into the Classic edition, a putter that reviewers and Community voices alike recognized as a straightforward, faithful take on the Anser form rather than a departure from it.
