The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctStudio B Reserve is the name Bettinardi has attached to a run of limited-finish releases built on existing production heads rather than a single standalone model. The record holds three of these under the Reserve banner: a BB41 Flow in a Nebular finish, a BB1 in Violet Haze PVD, and a BB1W left handed in the same Violet Haze PVD, each treated as its own catalog entry on bettinardi.com.
The BB41 Flow version pairs a flow neck with what the maker's page calls a "stunning Nebular finish from the flow neck to the sole where ladder milling meets Hex milling with white accents." It's built from 303 stainless steel with a Flymill face, 3/4 toe hang, and ships with a Gray Lamkin Deep Etch grip and a magnetic headcover matched to the finish. The maker's page notes it is made in the U.S.A. and available in limited quantities, positioning it as a heel-toe blade dressed for a specific cosmetic run rather than a mechanical departure from the standard BB41 Flow.
The BB1 and BB1W Reserve versions carry the Violet Haze PVD finish across the newer BB Series geometry, both at 352g in 303 stainless steel with the Perpetual Flymill face. The BB1 lists at 3° loft, 70° lie, and 1/2 toe hang; the BB1W left handed carries the same loft and lie with 1/3 toe hang, and the maker's page notes it as "our first production putter with a soundslot through the flange." Both descriptions frame the Reserve treatment as a finish exercise applied to the current BB1 line rather than a change to the head's core specs, which is consistent with how the BB41 Reserve reads as well: same putter, distinct skin, sold as its own limited item.
