Fred Couples signs with Bettinardi, will continue to use FCB putter
Fred Couples has been using his namesake Bettinardi putter, the FCB (Fred Couples Blade), for the past four years. Now, he’s officially joining Bettinardi’s Tour staff.
Couples, who has won 15 times on the PGA Tour and 13 times on the PGA Tour Champions, will putt exclusively with the company’s flatsticks.

“I’m really looking forward to representing Bettinardi and its beautiful range of hand-made putters, as they always give me great confidence when I’m standing over putts,” said Fred. “Having won 5 times already with a Bettinardi putter, there’s nothing I’d rather be putting with.
Couples averaged 1.70 putts per hole when playing in 12 events with the Bettinardi wand last year.
“Having Fred Couples join our Tour staff is a massive endorsement for Bettinardi Golf,” said founder Robert Bettinardi. “We’re so proud and excited to welcome him to our growing Tour staff. I’m sure he will prove to be a great ambassador for our brand, as he attracts huge crowds and media attention wherever he plays.”
Here’s a look at Boom Boom’s FCB putter.

PIcked up a Kuchar #2 off the Bay late last year…Its paying off big dividends in 2018 already and Ive finally found…”The One”
IMO…Bettinardi does it as good or better than anyone out there right now.

You can buy somthing almost identical on Bettinardi “Hive” or they pop up on eBay from time to time. If you really want one and have the $ you can find one! They are my favorite putter Bettinardi makes that’s for sure!
