Bettinardi BB1 Putter Review:
| Setup & Alignment |   Hard-Avg-Easy |
|
| Setup is excellent. The black site line against lighter satin finish provides a good contrast that makes the putter easy to align. The length and lie of the putter were perfect for our tester. | ||
|
||
| Feel | Soft-Avg-Crisp |
|
| This is one of the best feeling putters that we have tested to date. The "honeycomb" face makes even harder distance balls feel okay. | ||
|
||
| Performance | Less-Avg-More |
|
| The excellent feel seemed to produce greater distance control for putts of all lengths. The ease of setup and alignment and the soft feel provides confidence and promotes a more natural stroke aloowing you to take one last look at the hole and putt. Minimal adjustment time was required to use the BB1. | ||
|
||
| Looks | ||
The head on the BB1 is a heel-toe weighted "Anser" style
which provides forgiveness as well as classic good looks.
The view from address inspires confidence and with the
satin finish, there is no glare as you get with many shinier
finishes. The trademark honeycomb finish on the face is
beautiful and distinctive. |
||
|
||
| Summary | ||
| The bottom line is that this is one fine putter. Classic good looks, exceptional feel, and distinct face make this a desired putter. Many golfers would not consider this putter because of its price, but we believe it's worth the money especially if you find a used one in good shape. Our tester changes putters frequently and is typically in the market for the next putter at all times, but with the Bettinardi BB1, he has no intention of replacing it anytime soon.
