BB48

The BB48 arrives as a single release, the 2024 entry in Bettinardi's BB Series, and its arc so far is really the story of one putter finding its shape. The maker's page credits Sam Bettinardi with the design, built for Tour players who wanted a mallet with a more subtle profile than the rest of the mallet crowd offers. The sweeping shoulders that dip across the back flange and wane and vanish at the rear are the signature move here, and the maker's own language is worth sitting with: the result is described as a mallet with a modest appearance that inspires confidence at address.

In its 2024 form, the BB48 carries a 303 Stainless Steel face per the maker's listing, finished in Black Pearl PVD, and milled with Bettinardi's Perpetual Flymill Face Milling. That milling is pitched as more than cosmetic, the maker's page ties it to sonic precision and a consistent roll, with each stroke producing a distinctive tone for feedback. The head carries an MSRP of 450 USD. A slant neck with 3/4 shaft offset and 1/3 toe hang rounds out the build the maker describes, aimed at golfers with a moderate arc.

Beyond the standard release, the BB48 head has already shown up across Bettinardi's limited-run programs, including Violet Haze PVD treatments offered alongside the rest of the new BB Series, and NFL Draft Day editions in Diamond Blast and Gold Flame finishes for the Giants and Jets, each stamped with city skyline milling and team paintfills. None of that changes the core spec of the head itself, but it shows a putter that's moved quickly from Tour-feedback design into Bettinardi's collector and archive channels within its first year on record.
