Bettinardi’s Hawaii-inspired BB1 Tiki putter
The PGA Tour kicks off the year 2016 with the Hawaiian-swing — consisting of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on the island of Maui this week, and the Sony Open in Honolulu next week. To celebrate and commemorate the island lifestyle, Bettinardi made 100 BB1 Tiki putters, dripping in Hawaiian influence.
The BB1 Tiki is milled from mild carbon steel with a Texas Tea finish and Bettinardi’s signature honeycomb face milling. The premium-made putter is “complemented by the gentle blue waves of the Aloha State, and intricate engraving of the Tiki men,” according to Bettinardi
The prototype putters will be available on Jan. 15, and will sell for $450 each with the following specs:
- Weight: 350 grams
- Lie angle: 71 degrees
- Loft: 3 degrees
- Toe Hang: 3/4

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Tiki belongs to the Maori race from New Zealand. Unless of course they have stolen the Tiki from their cousins in Hawaai

It’s from New Zealand. Bobby B doesn’t Google things. We learned that from the 2nd amendment headcover.

Well kinda wrong. The entire South Pacific had their Tiki icons and each different region’s vary. It’s presumed that the men of the South Pacific were prolific water travellers judging by the similarities of iconography between regions.

“Texas Tea Finish”
Is this a standard Bettinardi finish? Does anyone know what goes into this?

Stunning, not even too bad of a price for something limited like that.
