Cleveland TFI 2135 Satin 8.0 CB

www.clevelandg­olf.com Weight: 405g Grip: Cleveland Oversized Toe hang: Face-balanced

TECH:

A counter balanced blade, available in 35” or 38” lengths. By lowering ball speeds from the centre of the face and raising them for off-centre hits, 2135 putters produce uniform distance control no matter where you strike putts. Cleveland says a new satin finish has 50% more contrast, and the sightline of the 8.0 blade is 21.35 millimetre­s off the ground to aid accurate alignment.

WE SAY:

There aren’t too many stable blade options for golfers with seriously wonky putting strokes, but the 8.0 is definitely one. The head’s wider than Cleveland’s 1.0 with very slightly protruding toe and heel weights. All in it adds up to a pretty forgiving blade design and, because of the extra headweight and counter balancing, it offers a realistic chance to iron out kinks in even the waviest of putting strokes.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

Perfect for golfers who like to putt with a straight back and through stroke. Heavier counter-balanced putters aren’t for everyone but for anyone who’s not given them a go before, the 8.0 is well worth trialling to smooth out your stroke and gain control.
