BB0

The BB0 Ported Sole DASS is the standard-issue version of Bettinardi's BB0 head, built in Double-Aged Stainless Steel with Flymill face milling, distinct from the one-off "Hive" drop pieces the maker has periodically released under the same BB0 name. Where those limited runs carry hand-painted finishes, laser-engraved T-Hive icons, and one-of-one framing, the Ported Sole DASS reads as the working version of the head: the maker's page describes it as a "Clean, classic design with minimal distractions," with a ported sole meant to lower the center of gravity and redistribute weight. Bettinardi's page lists the MSRP at three different figures across captures, 2000.00, 2300.00, and 2400.00 USD, so the retail price on this one moved around rather than sitting still.

On the review side, 2ndswing.com's description leans full praise, calling it "a masterpiece of craftsmanship, meticulously engineered for golfers who demand the ultimate in feel, precision, and performance on the greens," and general notes on record point to exceptional feel and feedback, enhanced stability, and improved distance control. That's opinion rather than anything the Record has independently tested, but it lines up with what the DASS face and ported sole are meant to deliver on paper.

Within the wider BB0 line, this Ported Sole DASS version sits apart from the splashier limited editions, Golden Flamed, Acid Splash, Gold Flame, that Bettinardi has used the same head to carry. Those pieces are described in the maker's own listings down to gram weight and one-off cosmetic treatment, while the Ported Sole DASS is the version built for repeat production rather than a single spin-the-wheel giveaway.
