Why We Like It
- 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.
- With the latticework taking the place of what would be heavier steel, more mass can be distributed to the heel and toe and used for the customizable sole weights.
- The result of that mass redistribution is a higher moment of inertia (stability on off-center hits) for all models compared to their 2024 versions.
- The face features four lofts that increase from 1 degree at the bottom to 4 degrees at the top. The intent is to launch the ball at a consistent angle whether your stroke is level, moving slightly down, or moving slightly upward at impact.
- Top 5 in Performance, middle-handicaps
- Models: Grandsport-35. Head weights: 355-365 grams. Lengths: 34-35 inches. Loft: 3 degrees

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List panelists observed a blade that plays like a mallet: notably stable and forgiving, with rear weighting that makes it swing heavy and easy to rock back and through. The gold-and-carbon styling and strong alignment aids inspire confidence; strikes produce consistent roll, good distance control on long putts, and a pleasing muted/solid feel with clear feedback. One caveat: the face can run hot, making soft short-putt touch harder to dial in.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List testers noted a surprisingly stable, mallet-like blade that’s very forgiving and sets up beautifully to the target. Distinctive gold finish and carbon-fiber back plate lend premium looks; the head feels well-weighted, produces a muffled impact, and the two boxy rear “fangs” plus slight toe hang suit straight-back–straight-through strokes. It tracks long putts well and is easy to start on line. One downside: the heavy head paired with a softer face can make distance control tricky.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List panelists observed a distinctive 3D‑printed head with striking gold-and-black/carbon-fiber looks and a strong alignment aid. Testers praised its springy, slightly thicker face for confident, consistent rolls, easy distance control and strong lag-putt performance; the heft and clicky impact give clear feedback and stability when stroked evenly. It rewards center strikes and builds confidence on shorters. One drawback: it can be a touch too jumpy/skiddy on very short putts.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List panelists observed a blade that wears mallet-like lines: winged, rear-weighted stability produces a heavy, easy rock back-and-through and a quick-yet-soft, subdued impact. Reviewers praised exceptional feel and sound, alignment aided by contrasting colors, a solid, long-lasting roll, a face that returns to square, and tight dispersion with great touch and consistency. Only drawback mentioned: some found the styling a bit busy.

Putter sets up really nicely and has a good weight to it. If you like a more muffled sound at impact, you might like this one.

Looks oversized, more mallet than blade. Very nice, muted sound. It gave me confidence on short putts, but on really long putts, it was tough to gauge how hard to hit it.

Gary
38, Handicap 13

This is a mallet hiding in a blade's clothing. With the size of the wings and how the weights are a little back from the face, it felt super stable and swung heavy. Very easy to rock back and through. A subdued impact, quick but soft.
Todd
62, Handicap 13

The different colors and shades really reinforce the alignment. The roll is very solid, on short and long distances, and the face seems to want to come back to square. A balanced feel and good sound dynamics. Great feedback from this putter.
Ryan
50, Handicap 10

Appealing gold color around the body offset by the black-and-gray checkerboard behind the impact point really suits my eye. Plus, it helped me square it up. I was able to control my distances well and had no issues with touch putts close to the hole.
Jamie
52, Handicap 7

It's a hefty option for a blade putter. I found short putts were easy as long as you had a slow tempo. Any increase in tempo, and the heft took over. A moderate snap at impact, slightly skiddy on very long putts.
Wayne
61, Handicap 7

Through the ball, this putter felt light and soft off the face. It had a bit of a noticeable click at impact, so you got feedback on the contact. It didn't seem to roll out quite as much as other putters.
Andrew
40, Handicap 8
1 year testing
From the first putt, it was great. The ball rolled beautifully, effortlessly. Easy distance control because of the weight behind it. From short range, you could just trust that it would get on line and roll in.
Anand
43, Handicap 6
10+ years testing
Very hoppy off the face. The ball was jumping and a little too aggressive at impact and continued to skid down the line too much for my liking.
Jin
30, Handicap 10

The carbon fiber in the center looks really nice. The slight gold tint is also very pleasing to the eye. At contact, it's pretty firm, but the ball isn't jumping off the face. I got consistent rolls, consistent speeds.
Jack
36, Handicap 1

A slightly larger head for a blade. It has those two fangs coming off the back flange, and they're pretty boxy. I'm very linear, so I like seeing those straight lines. A slight toe hang, and being a straight-back-straight-through putter, I like that.
Wei
55, Handicap 14

I didn't like the look at first, but this putter really, really works. The feel is excellent. The sound is excellent. Putts stayed on line at my intended speed. I got over the looks fast.
Chris
60, Handicap 8

This putter delivers a consistent strike across the face and a consistent roll. It's very pure when you hit the center, and even mis-hits feel good. That kind of ball-striking builds my confidence.
Alan
31, Handicap 3

Beautiful putter, with the gold finish and the carbon fiber back plate. It sets up really well to the target. Easy to start and keep the ball on line. Feels like it's really well-made and performs like it.
Jason
49, Handicap 0
10+ years testing
The weight of this putter doesn't match the feel of the face. It's heavy, but the face is soft. Because of the weight, you feel like you're gonna bash it, so you subconsciously slow down, and then the ball comes off soft. I had a hard time with distance control.
Wesley
31, Handicap 4
3 years testing
Really love the weighting and feel. It's very stable throughout the stroke. The face is pretty hot, so it might be tough to control the speed on fast greens. For slower greens, it's probably really good.
Matt
53, Handicap 11

The balance and weighting didn't work for me. I was fighting to get the pendulum feel I like. The gold-and-black finish is not particularly attractive. Only average on dispersion and consistency.
Paul
64, Handicap 6

It's a bit larger for a blade than I would prefer, but my strokes were consistent, even paced. A little more on the powerful side than most blades.
Daniel
34, Handicap 11
6 years testing
Performance was a little inconsistent. The carbon-fiber look was definitely appealing, but if you missed off the center, it came out kinda dead. But the center was springy, so the ball jumped off the face.
Skylar
27, Handicap 7
3 years testing
Really unique-looking putter, almost kind of gaudy. You can get your lag putts close, but it's tougher on short putts, because it's so fast off the face. It just bounces off quickly.
Matt
28, Handicap 7
2 years testing
This putter was really good on long putts. It felt easy to get speed out of it. But on shorter putts, I couldn't hit it soft enough. I was ramming them by the hole.
Shane
37, Handicap 12
6 years testing
The head seemed light, so I was losing my feel in the backstroke. That led to some erratic strokes and loss of control. The dispersion short and long was pretty large.
Peter
58, Handicap 8

Interesting color combination with the gold and black. The alignment concept is strong. It's got a nice feel off the face. Some heft to it, so it works great for long putts. The dispersion was really good. A nice, soft touch on short ones.
Robert

Aaron

Aggressive design with a hotter face. A little bit on the heavier side. The energy from impact did not translate all the way through, so putts died earlier than expected.

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.

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.
