BB1-H no insert

Summary:
This is the most consistent, best balanced putter I have ever used. The finish and detail are unequaled. They only made ten of these heavy heads at 355 grams in the BB1, BB1MS, BB8 without an insert. At 33" it is a D-3 swing weight. The nickel over soft carbon steel makes for a crisp but soft feel. When you use a Bettinardi you feel like you are using the same quality and detail to attention that tour players get. Also, these are one of the few putters still 100% made right here in the USA. If you want the best, Bettinardi is the one for you.

BB-1 Black Thunder w/ Insert

Summary:
Basicly, im in high school and play for the varsity team. I can drive the ball straight, and put it on the green in regulation, but i seem to stuglle sometimes putting the ball in the cup in 1 or 2 strokes. Two weeks ago (with my Odyssey dual force 330) i had 7 fairways, 6 greens, and 3 3-putts. That was seriously lame.
I have been secretly coveting a Bettinardi for about a year now, and finally stepped up to the plate and bought one. Im not sure if words can explain the exceptional roll and the softness of the copper insert. The course where i play has just trimmed the greens to a 8 stimp, and they are fast. If you play on fast greens, or just want to put it in the hole, the Bettinardi (Classic) series are the best money can buy!

Customer Service:
Never had to use it, but heard its the best

BB-42 Heavy, 32"

Summary:
Ask anyone an opinion of what putter to buy and they will tell you "it's such a personal choice". We all agree but thought I'd review this putter after playing with it a good part of the summer. This putter is stainless steel and when I first got it, I thought it felt no better than any other putter, well, maybe not any other but a quality steel putter. After getting my pendulum swing in great form and figuring out the right grip (courtesy of Geoff Mangum) and spending hours on how to hit the sweet spot, this turns out to be a fabulous putter. I find it very consistent for distance whether it's 6' or 30' (I walk off most all my putts). With the long plumbers neck it is very balanced. It is in the shape of the answer head but the stainless head is much more appealing to look at than a Ping I own...not knocking Ping. After figuring out (with the help of the Pelz folks) what length putter I needed, I made sure I got the correct length and at 32" I can now roll and nice natural putt. I consistently roll between 30-32 putts a round (I keep count) depending on how many greens I hit and have had a 28 putt round. These putters are expensive but once you get use to the feel, it's hard to go back to anything else.

Customer Service:
The best customer service of any golf product I have yet to work with. Even with the high price, this takes the value rating to the limit.

BB-16 Tour Proto

Summary:
In short, I invested a lot in this putter but it was worth every penny. I owned 9 putters at the time I bought this and was struggling with finding something I had confidence in, so finally decided to buy exactly what I was looking for with the quality of a Tour putter. They aren't cheap, but compared to a Cameron Tour putter the Bettinardi Tour putters are a steal and offer a greater variety to match what you prefer in a putter. Todd at tksputters was great to work with and is Bettinardi's outlet for their Tour Prototypes. The putter has a perfect balance and weight to it, and the technology combined with craftmanship can't be beat! By the way, I sold all of my other putters after getting my new Bettinardi!

Customer Service:
Excellent, they seem to really care about you!

Summary:
BB41 - One of dad's unused putters still with plastic covering on the handle which I found at home. He had no idea what it was and where he got it. Switched my Tri-hot 2 for the BB412 last Sunday. I was amazed by the feel and the ability to roll my putts the correct distance. Every put I had was going towards the hole and those that missed didn't miss by much. I even made a couple of putts from just outside the green. The BB41 will now be permanently in my bag.
