Bettinardi is a legendary golf-gear manufacturer, known for creating some of the most kick-ass putters in the world, backed by some of the coolest names in the industry, and the new BB8-Wide Armageddon putter stands true to its legacy. If you are wondering what’s up with the Armageddon thing, you must learn that the latest Bettinardi putter is built to honor Americans who have served in the US military, i.e. this is yet another military inspired putter from Bettinardi, which makes for an awesome collectible and a must-have piece of golf gear for any brand aficionado. Since we’re talking about a collectible item, the BB8-Wide Armageddon putter is obviously a limited-edition kind of a deal, and part of the profits made by Bettinardi from selling this beautiful putter are going to the Veteran Golfers Association.
There are only 250 putters to speak of world-wide, each of them individually crafted with a one-of-a-kind tactical FIT Face over Honeycomb face milling; pompous names aside, this particular face milling pattern is designed to provide that extra soft feel we all know and love upon ball impact, while the bumpers, neck and sole of the flat stick are beautifully engraved with military inspired insignias used by the US army.
Since we’re talking about a limited edition deal, each of the 250 BB8-Wide Armageddon is painted by hand in what Bettinardi calls sniper white, grey and navy color scheme, i.e. this is yet another military themed thing in these beautiful putters. But wait, there’s more: each and every putter is milled to perfection using soft carbon steel, weighs 355 grams and arrives with a complementary head cover (made in the USA by the way), along with a beautiful red Lamkin Deep Etched Cord grip.
But what about the price, right? Well, if you want to get one of these babies, you’ll have to dig deep into your pockets, as each BB8-Wide Armageddon putter is retailing for no less than $550. If you’re already sold and you want to support our military, you can get yours online in the Hive on Bettinardi.com or at Bettinardi specialty dealers around the globe.
