Classic Series

The Cure Classic Series opens its record in 2017, described by cureputters.co.uk as very traditional in style, just slightly oversized, with the site classing it as a high MOI blade putter built around large tungsten weight inserts in the heel and toe. That combination, a familiar blade silhouette carrying an aggressive weight ratio, is where the line establishes its identity. cureputters.co.uk went further in its own assessment, writing that you will be hard pushed to find a review that isn't glowing about the putters and what they can do for your game, a claim that sets a fairly high bar for whatever follows in the series.

What follows is the CX1, still cataloged under the Classic Series edition. Here the reporting gets less tidy. coloradogolfblog.com described the CX1 in three different registers within the same coverage: at times a blade design, at times a traditional mallet design, and at other points something that reads and feels more like a mallet hybrid than a traditional blade putter. golftrips.com added harder-edged detail, a 5 inch blade length, a higher center of gravity, and a deeper face said to impact the ball at the equator. Whether the CX1 is best understood as a blade wearing mallet characteristics or a mallet built on blade bones is genuinely unsettled in what's been written about it, and the Record holds both descriptions rather than picking one.

What the two releases share, according to the reviewers on file, is lineage rather than repetition. One community-facing summary noted that the CX1 combines blade and mallet feel and carries the same weight systems and milled face and high MOI as the Tour X1, suggesting Cure treated the Classic Series less as a single fixed shape and more as a chassis of weighting and face milling that could be redrawn across different heads. coloradogolfblog.com's continued praise of the CX1 at $279.95 as part of the Classic Series indicates the line kept its footing commercially as it moved from the straightforwardly traditional 2017 model into the more debated CX1 shape.
