According to course raters, what makes a golf course "good"

Bettinardi will release the new BB series and Inovai putters in 2022.

Two of Bettinardi's most popular putter series (BB series and Inovai) have undergone some major changes in the new year. With the help of some of the best players on the tour-the list includes Matt Kuchar, Fred Capos, Sam Horsfield and Jason Koklack-Robert J. Bettinardi And his son Sam adopted new techniques and head shapes to increase the range of options available for professional tour and recreational golfers.

The BB series consists of four models, which are precision milled from a piece of 303 stainless steel. Golfers with a tour card have been using this hybrid material for many years, but this is the first time Bettinardi has offered this material in a retail store. According to the putter manufacturer, the 303 material provides a firm, sensitive feel when hitting the ball.

“Bettinardi Golf is proud to continue the tradition of American-made craftsmanship and originality, creating our most timeless and advanced BB series to date,” said Robert J. Bettinardi, founder and CEO of Bettinardi Golf.

Compared with the traditional Flymill, the new "Aggressive Flymill" milling has been added to the entire face to provide a softer feeling-no concave effect. Bettinardi also chose to upgrade the overall appearance to a thin and flexible PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish to highlight face milling marks.

In addition to the three blade head shapes, the BB series will now include a center hammer BB46. All four putters weigh 350 grams and are equipped with a Flymill pattern head cover and Lamkin Sink Fit grips (standard and super large).

It can be said that Bettinardi's most advanced putter series, Inovai returns with a new Roll Control face design and appearance. A scientifically designed asymmetrical groove design was added to the 303 stainless steel front to produce more topspin when hitting the ball, thereby making the ball more consistent.

Then with the help of 6061 military-grade aluminum fuselage, the weight is transferred to the periphery of the head, which increases the overall stability of the head without increasing the size. Face to face, Bettinardi managed to reduce the overall footprint (heel to toe) by 5% to promote optimal visual alignment.

"Inovai 6.0 is one of the most successful head shapes we have created," said Vice President Sam Bettinardi. "With two years of tour feedback, we were able to improve 6.0 and provide a more stylish and compact design than its predecessor. We are proud to be able to bring this tour-proven model to golfers all over the world."

This year the new compact 8.0 mallet has joined the series, aiming to give Bettinardi the image of being able to compete in the growing market segment of the putting industry.

"8.0 adds a new level of innovation to Bettinardi Golf," Bettinardi said. We are now able to enter the ever-growing compact mallet segment with all the performance characteristics required by tour players. This new model has changed the rules of the game for the Bettinardi brand, and we can’t wait to hope that players of all levels will put this new design into practice. "

Inovai 6.0 and 8.0 come standard with invisible black hood and custom Lamkin Sink Fit grip (standard or jumbo). The 17-inch Winn Armlock is the preferred handle for Inovai 8.0 Armlock.

Bettinardi's BB series and Inovai are now available for pre-order in the United States and will be available for pre-order internationally on March 15, 2022.

The BB series has always been one of the lines that Bettinardi has played the most on the tour.

Now offering 303 stainless steel for the first time, Robert has made a major upgrade to the new lineup, providing all golfers with the same metal mixture as the global Bettinardi Tour staff. Aggressive Flymill face milling provides a sensitive and soft putter head feel for the putter, and the durable and stylish graphite gray PVD surface treatment highlights all milling marks. Precision ground to 350 grams, with a thinner crown line and a smoother and softer bumper, this putter provides players with perfect aiming optics.

The newly redesigned BB1 head shape has a streamlined neck integrated with the putter head, providing ¾ toe drape, while taking into account the feel of the putter. The new BB1F is designed, milled and assembled in the United States, using softer, rounder bumpers and enhanced muscles to create a tour-style appearance.

By precision milling wider flanges on its classic BB8 head shape, RJB is able to provide clean, square-shaped inserts with performance-driven modifications. Looking down on the ball, the new 2022 BB8 Wide has been redesigned to be slightly shorter from heel to toe, with a thinner tour-style top line, providing a smooth putter and fine-tuned acoustics when hitting the ball.

Bettinardi's most stylish and compact mallet to date, the brand new BB46 is similar to Studio Stock 3, which won a Grand Slam championship. The design of this putter is inspired by the tour feedback of some of the top players on the PGA and LPGA Tour. The putter has a crowning top line, tight precision milling radii along the shoulder and rear flange, and effortlessly flow into the putter. With a single curved shaft at the head, the BB46 provides players with a putter option that is close to the balance of the face in the new BB series product line.

Bettinardi's 2022 Inovai series is full of different shapes and neck types.
