My first Bettinardi (BB1-34)

Yes! finally got my hand on this very well crafted putter. Handmade in a workshop under the watchful eyes of the founder Mr Bettinardi himself. First read about this putter in golf digest but never really held one in my hands. Finally Singapore got a distributor for this amazing putter and i tell you, once you hold it and put, you will never look back. My $400 Odyssey looks like child's play compare to this handcrafted one. Even the similarly priced Scotty Cameron is out of its league.

Of course, if you already have a $4k Honma, don't let me influence you into this. But hey, a very rich uncle did let me play a few puts with his custom made, gold headed  $20k Honma and i am ashamed to say it didn't improve my put anymore than my trusted Dunlop. Today is the day the dunlop retires because i have found a worthy replacement.

I got the BB1 for $650 but i believe it will serve me in the years to come, it is unlikely i will get another putter in the near future. so to rest, my various Odyssey and my first putter the Dunlop. Sold to me by an engineer in the science centre car park 4 years ago.
