Bettinardi Golf is the king of precision-milled putters, and they've just announced a completely re-engineered Inovai series, plus a refreshed BB series for 2020. The next generation putters are developed using the company's patented one-piece technology, and they're crafted under the close supervision of master club maker Robert J. Bettinardi and Sam Bettinardi.
The new putters were engineered by Bettinardi's R&D team with direct input from the world's top golfers, and they're crafted using new milling techniques from the company's state of the art facility located outside of Chicago. The advanced 2020 lineup is aimed at amateur golfers first and foremost and it consists of 7 world-class putters. The new BB series comes with Bettinardi's classic head shapes, improved contours and visual details, not to mention an awesome and brand new Glacier Black paint and finish scheme, which gives the putters a glare resistant appearance. The Inovai series is described by Bettinardi as the company's most advanced moment-of-inertia mallets in its history. The Inovai putters are milled using a high tech process and they feature a one-piece 303 stainless steel face with a 6061 aluminum rear piece. Moreover, the Innovai boasts an amazingly beautiful platinum finish, which is great for providing optimal visual cues at address.
The brand new BB series consists of the BB1 , Tour-inspired BB1-Flow, new BB8-Wide, and a completely new BB45 mallet. Each of these beauties is built from high457888888-quality Soft Carbon Steel, precision-milled to 350 grams, with a state of the art Super-Fly Face Milling, which provides the best and most responsive face milling in the industry, and, most importantly, sans inserts. Robert J. Bettinardi was quoted as saying:
“With the new BB Series, we’re mixing classic Bettinardi favorites with next-generation advancements. We precision-milled, refined and perfected each model, and brought cleaner radiuses, tighter milled lines, and added a super-durable Glacier Black finish. I truly feel like this BB Series encompasses the core of Bettinardi.”
The Inovai series was completely reengineered to the point of ridiculousness in 2020, with the putters being based entirely on Tour feedback, and offers excellent feel benefits without using face inserts. However, the high moment of inertia numbers are here to stay in the Inovai series, as the putters are crafted using 303 Stainless Steel as the front contact area, plus 6061 Military Grade Aluminum for the alignment guides, in order to increase the moment of inertia. The new Inovai putters are the definition of superior stability and feel, and they include 3 brand new models, featuring Tour-inspired neck options as it follows: the 2020 INOVAI Rev 6.0 Crescent Neck, 6.0 Center Shaft, and 6.0 Spud Neck. Each of these beautiful putters comes with a head shape precision-milled to 358 grams featuring Bettinardi's patented Major-proven F.I.T. Face milling for delivering an amazing soft feel at impact. Here's the Vice President of Bettinardi Golf Sam Bettinardi commenting on the brand new Inovai series:
“When our Tour staffers tested out the prototypes, they immediately put the putter in play and it’s yet to leave their bags. That’s an amazing testament coming from the world’s best golfers. It’s a special putter for me. From taking the initial feedback from Tour, to working alongside my father on the engineering side, reversing our bi-metal technology for a more solid feeling MOI putter with a one-piece Crescent neck, I believe together we have developed a break-through in putter feel, design, and technology.”
And here are the prices, provided you're already sold on the 2020 Bettinardi series: All BB Series ($300.00); all INOVAI Series ($400); and the Queen B ($400.00) and Studio Stock ($450.00). By the way, all these putters are proudly Made in the USA, and that means high-quality baby.
