July 21, 200519 yr comment_99675 Good to see Bob is still making some putters. I have a BB2, and have no doubt the putters produced by Bettinardi are easily the best in the world. What else can I say, but congratulations on the new model. :cool:
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99715 Hello everyone. They are DASS and are awesome. I had some prototypes that had 3 slots, but they sold out very fast, but I will have some more real soon. They looked like this: Description: This is Mr. Bettinardi's newest creation right out of the Bettinardi studio and PGA tour van, this is a Very Rare/Brand New Bettinardi right handed BB-1 tour exempt DASS 355 gram heavy head that has 3 slits/slots/floating faces on the bottom of the putter that are one half inch (.5") wide each and you can actually see the milling lines inside each slot of the 3 slits that are cut out. This special putter also has a very unique non glare finish unlike that normal stainless putters have and has the new 2005 HEX B logo on the heel of the patented honeycomb face and says RJB in bold inside the cavity. Tour exempt stands for that there were 10 or less made and this DASS BB-1 is 1 of only 3 total made. Here is a quote from when I talked to Mr. Bettinardi on Tuesday, March 15, 2005: "Todd, this DASS BB-1 3 slot is the best feeling putter I have ever made". All the writing on the bottom of the putter was engraved with actual Robert J. Bettinardi signature and the "P" inside the hozel was hand stamped by Bettinardi that stands for PROTOTYPE. This is the first time that Mr. Bettinardi engraved his actual signature on any of his putters. The putter is currently at an D9 swingweight, 515 total grams at 35" and can be custom to any length you want. That is why this head is over 355 grams as it can be cut down all the way down to 31" if need be without hurting the balance. This very special putter comes with a silver Bettinardi tour limited shaft band, white tour limited winn grip and white tour limited 3 flag headcover. The grip is in original shrink wrap from the Bettinardi plant. This putter has a sight line.
July 21, 200519 yr comment_99717 wow, those are truly pieces of art, and are truly amazing. I love the 3 slit floating face thing, original and pretty cool too! Man I'd love to roll one of these, but its just enough to look at it in detail. Great work to Mr. Bettinardi once again!
July 22, 200519 yr comment_99742 Very Nice!!! Always wanted a Japan Bett but IMO buying these always seemed goofy. We gotta pay for a putter made in the US with jacked-up prices designated for a foreign "boutique" market, lose money on a weak dollar, pay for overseas shipping and possibly pay customs to bring the thing back into the states :blackeye:
July 22, 200519 yr comment_99743 The 3 slot ones are not the ones that go to Japan. They are the ones that are at my site at www.tksputters.com which are the tour prototype ones.
July 22, 200519 yr comment_99749 IMO the Japanese retail putter pictured at the top looks amazing. I prefer the very clean look without the sightline or sound slots. I could/would put that in the bag without hesitation. Would it stay... I'd like to find out.
