iNOVAi Counterbalance

The 2015 iNOVAi Counterbalance sits in Bettinardi's aluminum/steel line, built around the same premise that ran through the whole iNOVAi family: a lightweight body paired with weight pushed low and away from the face to work with the added length and swingweight of a counterbalance build. Per mygolfway.com, the head is milled from 6061 aircraft grade aluminum with a stainless steel face insert, finished in black anodize, and carries a milled stainless steel weight placed low and away from the face, a construction meant to offset the mass added at the grip end.

The face itself is described by mygolfway.com as Bettinardi's F.I.T. (Feel-Impact-Technology) face with a Superfly milling pattern, and the body carries two cut outs milled from the body along with side by side score lines, a look distinct from the milled-face carbon steel putters that make up most of the maker's blade lineup. Reported specs from that source list a 395g head weight, a black 17 inch WINN grip, and a black iNOVAi headcover, with an outlet-reported price of 329 euros. It shipped in both right and left handed configurations.

Within the iNOVAi line, this Counterbalance release reads as a variant built specifically around length and swingweight rather than a change in milling or face technology, using the same aluminum body and stainless insert construction the mygolfway.com listing associates with the series, just lengthened and rebalanced for players building toward a longer stroke.
