The classic Bettinardi milled shapes with their smooth lines are still here, but now the face has a new milling pattern to make your putts roll smoother.
The new face treatment uses a variable-depth milling pattern that changes density across nine zones from heel to toe. It’s an effort to modulate the consistency of energy transfer and control spin so that mis-hits roll out more like center hits.
Range of blades includes: the BB-1, the classic heel-toe weighted cavity blade with softer lines; BB-8W, a deeper blade shape with slightly crisper angles; and the BB-28, a wider-flanged blade that uses a single-bend shaft for the slightest of toe hang to cater to a straight-back, straight-through stroke.

This slightly wider, notchback-style blade mixes a lightweight internal-lattice structure that’s made from 3-D printed nylon with the preferred heft and responsive feel of milled stainless steel.
The intricate grid, which provides stability and controls vibration for better sound, is produced from a material that weighs as much as 85 percent less than if that structure were made of typical stainless steel.
The complex latticework, which features an array of undercuts, wall thicknesses and angles, would be impossible to achieve through traditional manufacturing processes such as casting, forging or machining. On these blades it sits under the flange and fills out the bumper areas on the heel and toe.

Bringing the stroke-stabilizing technology of “zero torque” to traditional heel-shafted blades required rethinking the hosel into an S-shape so that the shaft better lines up with the head’s center of gravity.
The head’s center of gravity lies just inside the angle of the shaft’s axis. This dramatically reduces the torque effect on the head and face angle and puts the putter in a toe-up position. From here, the club stays square to the path naturally with little need for the hands to rotate the face back online.
The onset position of the hosel realigns the hands into a forward press. This makes a straight-back, straight-through stroke more natural.

Like Bettinardi’s counterpart blade models, these mallet shapes display the zero-torque effect by keeping the shaft in line with the head’s center of gravity.
Weight is centered in the head by combining multiple materials, like in the SB2, or by using milled-out cavities in the sole to redistribute mass toward the front of the head, allowing the center of gravity to line up with the shaft axis.
That weighting increases the tendency of the face angle to stay square to the path of the stroke.

Built on the familiar platform of the company’s original Directed Force putter, this gently downsized version maintains the zero-torque technology weighting that keeps the putter square to its lie angle through the stroke.
Each putter is balanced individually through a collection of screw weights in the sole. The intent is to coordinate the putter’s center of gravity to the lie angle so that there’s minimal manipulation of the head required during the stroke to bring the face back to square.
Milled from select aluminum for overall softness, this new version adds a stainless-steel face insert for improved sound and roll velocity.

This traditional shape marks the first heel-shafted mallet in the L.A.B. Golf lineup yet still maintains the weighting that lines up the head’s center of gravity with the shaft axis for a smoother, more repeatable stroke.
The key to maintaining the putter’s zero-torque weighting is a lightweight hosel that changes in length as the lie angle and shaft length change so that the shaft axis still points toward the head’s center of gravity.
That hosel gets progressively taller as the lie angle gets more upright. In all, there are 10 hosel configurations to fit lie angles from 65 to 74 degrees.

Redistributed internal weighting, including a reformed sole cavity and plate, along with the angled shaft position, align the shaft with the head’s center of gravity so that the face angle naturally remains square to the stroke path.
The shaft angle’s built-in forward lean promotes consistent contact with the center of the face, a hallmark of the popular zero-torque philosophy.
A 2-degree forward-press grip features a reverse taper (wider lower on the grip and narrowing at the butt end). This helps the face stay square to the target by restricting hand action and encouraging a straight-back, straight-through motion.

Other zero-torque putters position the shaft well back of the face to line up the shaft axis with the head’s center of gravity, but this model uses massive internal weighting to push the shaft position nearly in line with the start of the face.
The front of the putter, which houses the face insert and the shaft connection, contains 141 grams of high-density tungsten to push 80 percent of the putter’s total weight in that front section.
The forward center of gravity allows the hands to put the putter in a more neutral address position with minimal forward shaft lean.

These mallets look to steady your stroke with multiple onset versions that match the shaft and the center of gravity. They also attempt to steady your mind with calming alignment features that promote confident aim.
The two onset models (Ally Blue, Ketsch) feature shaft positions back from the face but just in front of the center of gravity, which encourages pulling the putter through the hitting area instead of pushing it for a consistent stroke. The goal is to provide the feel of putting with a blade with the aim and stability of a mallet.
The alignment aid features a long line and a single dot. It’s a result of eye-tracking research that shows that combining a line and a focal point calms the vision right before the start of the putting stroke.

This collection of three putters offers not one but three delineations toward simplifying the torques that affect the moving parts in your stroke.
The three models include a standard zero-torque Formula [90] model with the weighting balanced and the shaft matching the center of gravity. With its 90-degree toe-up orientation, this model works best to control or limit the way your hands rotate the putter face back to square during the stroke.
The Formula [CS] offers a traditional center-shafted approach with the shaft closest to the front of the putter and a face-balanced orientation. It works best for players whose natural stroke is straight back and straight through.

Rather than cast or forged, these putters use a metal-injection-molding process that converts a 304-stainless-steel powder to a mix that forms more precise shapes, softer curves and angles, leading to cleaner and more consistently produced finished putters that require little to no hand work.
The MIM process means more intricate consistency and finely contoured surface lines that frame the ball at address as a subtle alignment clue.
A new form of the soft but resilient Pebax elastomer makes up the face insert. This year’s version is slightly firmer for a less muted sound, but it still has a softer feel than the company’s 3DP Tour putters.

These zero-torque mallets are designed to reduce the need for deliberate face rotation in your stroke by moving the center of gravity closer to the face. They also include the benefit of reducing shaft lean through reverse offset heel-shafted hosels or center-shafted pin hosels for easier lie-angle adjustment.
As much as half of the putter’s weight is positioned forward using heavy tungsten heel and toe sole weights. This weighting lines up the center of gravity with the shaft axis for a more even stroke that requires only the rocking of the shoulders for the face to stay square to the path.
The benefit of the reverse-offset hosel is that unlike other designs that reduce or eliminate torsional resistance, this version does not force the hands well forward with an angled shaft.

The internal weighting and distinctive hosel shaping balance the head’s center of gravity with the shaft axis to improve consistency during the stroke.
In this version of zero torque, the head’s center of gravity is just inside the shaft’s connection point, reducing the torque on the head and face angle and placing the putter in a toe-up position. The center of gravity helps the club stay square to the path with little need for the hands to rotate the face back online.
The Allan ZT and Bat Attack ZT use an S-shaped hosel that positions the shaft axis in line with the center of gravity. The angle of the hosel realigns the hands into a forward press, making the straight-back, straight-through stroke more natural.

Putters
The putting stroke might look simple, but the abundance of mallet and blade designs each year makes putters one of golf’s most complex club categories. Finding the right putter is as much an emotional choice as a technical one, but the innovations used on today’s greens are impossible to ignore. Modern blades blend precision face technology, stability and elegant craftsmanship. They’re built to complement strokes with a natural arc and inspire confidence through a classic look and feel. Conversely, mallets dominate the professional ranks—16 of the top 20 players in the world rely on them. Their appeal is clear: forgiveness, consistent roll, intuitive alignment and hosel options to suit nearly every stroke type. The latest trend is zero-torque mallets, which are engineered to simplify the motion by eliminating face rotation.
