25 years! Bettinardi is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a limited run of putters (one model per month in 2023, 250 putters in each run). The Tinley Park, Illinois, company is kicking off the collection with the BB1 MS. The design was one of Robert J. Bettinardi’s first when the manufacturer, designer, and engineer struck out on his own after milling putters for major OEMs through the 90s.

Bettinardi pioneered milling a putter from a solid block of steel sans forgings, castings, or welds, and the BB1 MS was an early example of his efforts.

Check out the putter specs and additional details below.

Model: BB1 MS
Material: 303 stainless steel
Face insert: Gold-plated 303SS
Neck: Mid-style plumbers
Face milling: Mini honeycomb
Weight: 352 grams
Finish: Tour blast/High polish
Grip: Black leather perforated Gripmaster

The heel features an open Hex milling with Roman numerals “XXV” to emphasize the significance of this silver anniversary putter, while the sole showcases a “1/250” engraving to mark its limited quantity.

“I am so proud of this huge milestone for Bettinardi, and all that we have accomplished over the last 25 years,” said Robert Bettinard. “From the 100 professional wins to the cult-like following in The Hive of our bespoke offerings, and with distribution in over 45 countries around the world, Bettinardi’s future has never been brighter.”

The limited run kick-off putter will be available on January 31st at 10 a.m. CST in the Hive online at Bettinardi.com.

19th Hole

Distance in the game of golf is one of the hottest topics currently in the sport, especially with the USGA and R&A’s recent announcement that a plan is in place to roll back the golf ball for professional players.

When it comes to the amateur game, just how far are you hitting the ball compared to those in your age and handicap group?

Thanks to Arccos and their recently published study, you can find that out.

Per the report, which used data based on over 20 million drives – using Driver only – from the Arccos dataset, the numbers show that men’s numbers have increased on the previous year’s study but are down on the 2018 data. At the same time, women’s distance trends are continuing a downturn.
