Bettinardi releases Limited Edition BB28 Raw putters
Bettinardi has released 100 of its BB28 Raw putters ($450), which feature the company’s in-house Amber Oxide finish that prolongs the rusting process to give the putter a beautiful, rustic appearance.
The wide-body, blade-style putters are milled from mild carbon steel and use the company’s Super Fly-Mill Face. Each is equipped with a Fujikura Carbon Fiber putter shaft, a black leather stitch-back grip and a Made in the U.S.A. leather putter cover that tie together this very special, very limited release.
To purchase one, visit Bettinardi’s website. They’ll also be available in select Bettinardi retailers next week.

Cobra launches 3D-printed LIMIT3D irons
Cobra released its first commercially available 3D-printed steel putter in 2020. Now, the company is bringing its first 3D-printed irons to retail with new LIMIT3D irons, which Cobra’s vice president of product architecture, Jose Miraflor, calls “the most significant technological advancement to happen to the category in the past 20 years” and “a look into the future of golf club design and performance.”
Cobra leveraged the expertise of computational design software firm nTop to create an ambitious design: a compact players blade that offers similar forgiveness as a larger, game-improvement style club and forged iron feel.
Speaking on the partnership, Mike Yagley, Vice President of Innovation & AI, Cobra Golf said, “nTop’s computational design tools integrated with 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, allowed us to create an incredible new design that looks and feels like a forged blade but performs like a larger, game-improvement iron. No one has done this before, and we’re excited to introduce these unique irons to the world.”
As Cobra explains, more forgiving irons are traditionally larger and sacrifice feel. Due to the limitations of casting and forging, creating a more compact, better-feeling iron that still delivers forgiveness was only possible with 3D printing. The resulting profile of Cobra’s LIMIT3D irons is smaller than Cobra’s King Tour irons.
LIMIT3D irons are 3D printed for 316L stainless steel with an internal lattice structure, which allowed engineers to position 33 percent of the iron’s overall weight to the exterior for greater MOI. 100 grams of tungsten is positioned in the heel and toe of each clubhead for low CG for ease of launch and high MOI for greater forgiveness.
Additionally, using nTop’s design software and additive manufacturing allowed for a substantially faster prototyping process, which enabled engineers to test more designs and mass placements for a superior finished product.

Tired of this “limited run” high-cost strategy. Especially when you know this actual putter head was probably cheaper to produce than their usual stuff.

No finishing but higher cost. Eh? I remember when certain upmarket car companies used to charge to fit dark trims instead of chrome.

It was very charitable of Bettinardi to issue it as a limited edition. That way they only rip off a few people.

This was an awesome deal James and I tried to buy one but being old I am not as fast as these kids. I guess I will wait a year for the resale price to come down from $2k to $500-600 and hopefully get one. Otherwise life goes on and I am still a huge Betti fan! Happy Holidays!

If interested. I have a new one that I won. Don’t have a lot of use for it because I love my Scotty Cameron. Let me know if you’re interested.

It’s crazy. We had 8 of these putters and sold out in two hours. I’ve never seen something go that fast first hand.

Looks nice, but how well does it putt the ball? What does it feel like in the hands? I guess it was only a matter of time until the price of a putter caught up with the price of a driver. No wonder golf is having a hard time attracting new enthusiasts. The price of admission is going into the stratosphere. Let me see…how many rounds of golf can I play for $450?

Considering the price point of their normal putters that is a pretty good deal.

Higher price for no finish seems less of a deal
