Thanks for the review, tried on out in the store today and loved the look and the feel...a silly question for you...re the milled face and lines...it it possible they wear out over time...and an even sillier question...can one of those groves affect direction of the ball, like a small deflection? Thanks
As a cast steel construction it is very durable for long term use. Don't believe the deep etch face would impact ball direction by deflection relative to strike.
Both are blade / plumbers neck style putters with a slight difference in blade shape and size. The 1 is the more traditional blade style where the 4 is that slight longer more modern blade. The Cleveland website has some great images that show the difference in design. You may have seen similar in other brand that have a number of blade offerings. From Website The HB SOFT Milled 1 Putter features a classic plumber’s neck blade design with simple, low-contrast alignment-best suited for a slight arc stroke. The HB SOFT Milled 4 Putter features a slightly enlarged, modern blade design with a plumber’s neck hosel and simple, low-contrast alignment-best suited for a slight arc stroke.
The new All-In shaft from the Frontline Elite Model feels great. About to test very shortly. Basically, it comes down to your personal requirement for feel, preferred weight and control of the putter. The All-In shaft offers benefits in all of those areas. The HB Soft range are exceptional putters and great value...test them out at your local store.
I got HB Premier Soft 10.5 for $129 are you kidding me $440 putters out there such a great value AND I LOVE IT

Really good review 👍🏼
Thank you very much. Appreciate the feedback. Ross
Very impressive review.
Thank you
I just picked up the HB 4 and it lives up to the SOFT marketing for off-center putts. A great value for the performance, feel and looks.
Perfect Johnny. We love the feel, sound performance and value too.
is the weight only different between the HB soft milled blade 1 and 4
Great review,what’s the difference between the 1 and 4?

It's the same as the difference between the Scotty Cameron Newport and Newport 2.
Do you recommend upgrading to the All in shaft ??
