BB2

The record on the Bettinardi BB2 is thin, but it is clear on the one point that matters most for placing it: this is the 1999 release of the model, per bettinardi.co.uk. That puts it in the earliest stretch of Bettinardi's BB line, well before the sort of documented material this house holds on later BB Series work, like the 2018 BB29's Soft Carbon steel and Super-Fly face milling.

We don't have the maker's own descriptive copy for this particular release the way we do for later entries in the line, so there's no period prose to quote here. What stands is the date itself, and readers weighing the BB2 against the rest of the BB Series should treat 1999 as the anchor point until more of the record surfaces.
