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.

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.
The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.
For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.
While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.
A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.
A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.
You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

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
