Cure CX1 Putter Review

When Cure Putters came into existence in 2013, its founders identified several problems plaguing golfers who are inconsistent on the green. With the CX1, Cure developed a putter that can easily alleviate many of these issues, including: unforgiving technology, ill-fitting equipment, lack of stability and control through impact, and inconsistent roll off the face.

With a slightly oversized 5-inch blade, the CX1 boasts a precision milled perimeter weighted face that is made of aircraft aluminum. This innovative design helps to move the center of gravity higher than on most putters, so that the contact point is at the equator of the golf ball instead of below it. Coupled with a loft of only 2.5 degrees, the CX1 produces putts that can quickly roll off its face, alleviating the skid effect typical of putters with higher lofts and lower centers of gravity.

Central to consistent putting is also having the proper fit. With Cure’s innovative shaft disc assembly, players can quickly and easily make simple adjustments to their length and lie angle. The CX1 putter provides players with interchangeable center or heel shafts in variations of both standard and mid-length. Additionally, the putter’s lie angle can easily be adjusted with a few twists of a simple wrench. Six adjustable heel and toe weights can be paired in a variety of combinations to fit your personal preference. All these options give players plenty of choices to create the perfect putter for their stroke, body type, and green speed.

PROS

• The larger head and higher center of gravity increase MOI for greater forgiveness
• The ability to customize shaft length, lie angle, and weight give players plenty of options when their CX1 Putter
• Rotating shaft disc assembly makes the fitting process extremely easy and efficient for players

CONS

• The Cure CX1 is priced higher than many other putters available on the market
• Without a proper fitting from a professional, some players may wind up with a putter that does not suit them
• The limit of a single head design may limit the choices of players that prefer a different look

Upon first glance, the CX1 stands out with its slightly larger 5″ clubface, which is bigger than most traditional blade putters but still maintains a sleek and clean look. The putter's design is intended to provide a high Moment of Inertia (MOI), which helps in stabilizing the clubhead during the stroke, potentially leading to more consistent and accurate putts.

One of the key features of the CX1 is its adjustable weight system. The putter comes with removable weights in the back, which can be easily adjusted using an Allen key. This allows golfers to customize the weight of the putter to their preference, potentially improving their stroke consistency. For example, removing the middle weights can reduce the putter's weight from 376g to 362g, affecting its MOI properties.

In practice, the CX1 has shown impressive performance. The milled face provides a smooth and consistent roll, and the high MOI design helps in maintaining a straight stroke. Even mishits tend to stay relatively on line, which can be a significant confidence booster for many golfers. The feel and sound of the ball coming off the face are also noteworthy, providing a solid and reassuring feedback.
