C-Series

The C-Series arrived in 2006 as part of the Bettinardi and Mizuno partnership, which by the maker's account ran a great four-year partnership between the two companies. That collaboration also produced the Black Carbon line, which this house has covered directly through Studio B, so the C-Series sits inside a period of Bettinardi's history where its designs were being built and shipped through Mizuno rather than under the Bettinardi name alone.

The maker's page attributes the C-Series to this arrangement without laying out head shapes, materials, or finishes for the line, so what's on record here is the partnership itself rather than the specifics of the putter's construction. Readers weighing the C-Series against the rest of Bettinardi's catalog from this era should keep in mind that it comes from the Mizuno years, the same stretch that gave rise to the Black Carbon series this house tested directly.
