Before I dive into my review, here is a background as to what made me switch putters :
In early August I started with an awesome putting coach. Before I started working with him I was missing everything and recently came off a tournament with two 4 putts in the round. As I’m beginning to enjoy and play tournament golf making putts was about to become really important to me. I used a Taylormade Spider Tour Red for about 9 months, but the look killed me. found it so irritatingly huge and wanted something a little slimmer. I then decided to switch to an OdysseyWorks #7 for 6 months. Was overall positive about it, but as my stroke got sloppy my confidence decreased and I pulled putts endlessly. I went into my first putting session with my Odyssey. By the end of it my stroke and set up were pretty pure. But I was still pulling putts. I aimed down my line and my coach looked from behind me, laughed and said “where are you aimed?” And I said “dead straight!” And he goes “nope your way open.” I set up again and wham. Same thing. We then found out that I am left eye right hand dominant or “Cross Dominant.” The double bend shaft style was causing me to aim left, when my eyes thought I was straight. Then he broke the news to me ... “yeah, uh, you need a new putter.” He then slapped a center shafted putter in my hands and I was dead on. The search for a new flatstick began.
My review of the Bettinardi Studio Stock #28 :
I came away from my fitting with a Bettinardi Studio Stock 28 CS Slotback. My heart had wanted a Scotty Cameron for so long, I bought the marketing hype, and wanted to have one as a golf status symbol. But the results were over and over again showing that the Betti was a beast. The milling is masterful, the feel off the face is very very soft which suits my style. The look over the ball is simple and elegant. Plus the center shaft style has helped me greatly with my alignment. It’s similar to an ER2 in that it’s a blade style with some extra meat on the back which I like. It also gives the look of a blade with the forgiveness of a mallet. Overall very happy with this flat stick. Putting is now night and day compared to what it was. I will say, if I have to reach a little bit and find one flaw with it I wasn’t a fan at all of the standard grip, I use a SS Flatso 1.0 so the stock grip wasn’t my taste. But that’s my only gripe. I’ve now been converted to a huge Bettinardi Fan, and don’t see myself changing the flat stick for a long, long time.

With so many players having recent success with the ArmLock putters on the PGA Tour, we thought we'd see how it works for the average golfer. So follow four of our forum members as the put the Bettinardi Studio Armlock in play over the next four to six weeks to see how they perform with it.
Feel free to join the conversation and ask any questions you might have in regards to the putter or method of using it.

KUCH!
Looks like Matt Kuchar has finally found a way to get it done again. Been quite a drought for one of golf's most consistent players...
Anyway, I thought it a fine time to take a look at his armlock putting style and splash a few photos of his Bettinardi.
Any of you try the armlock style of putting?

Trigger warning Patriots Fans
Woo Hoo football is back baby. No longer will our weekends be spent without watching giant men bash into each other. This is the week that we can all fantasize about our teams winning the Super Bowl.
With that, I suppose that it is a fine time to reflect upon last year's winner, the Philadelphia Eagles. I hope that the Eagles fans have enjoyed their time with the trophy. Once again, all teams sit at records of 0-0-0.
Bettinardi has given those Eagles one more chance to soar though with the release of their limited run BB1 putter commemorating their Championship season.
Tom Brady may not be buying one of these, but if you want one, act fast tomorrow when they go on sale. Bettinardi's Hive releases have been selling out in a hurry these days.

Bettinardi's Summer Social 2018
Bettinardi held their annual Summer Social this past weekend and although I was not lucky enough to attend, they did send me a batch of photos to share with all of you.
Looks like an amazing weekend of Bettinardi gear and golf. One of these years I need to make it to the Social, with pockets full of putter cash, naturally.
Which one is your favorite?
Info about the Social from Bettinardi:
The 9th Annual Bettinardi Summer Social, hosted by Bob and Sam Bettinardi and team at our Headquarters in Tinley Park, IL was concluded and we could not be happier to host such a wonderful group for a truly amazing weekend. Over 100 stunning, custom one-of-a-kind and never before seen putters, accessories and Bettinardi golf gear were released for our top customers who traveled from around the globe to attend the fun filled weekend.
Following the Friday Social kick-off, many took to the links to play golf on Saturday at the beautiful Crystal Tree Golf Club in Orland Park, IL. Over 8 groups, many with brand new Betti gamers, tour bags, and all sorts of new accessories for the greens battled it out for closest to the pin, longest drive, and of course, the longest putt, with the winner Jimmy Luck taking home the major prize, a DASS BBZero Tour Dept. gold PVD putter. Bob and Sam Bettinardi are truly honored and humbled to have spent the action packed weekend with such great customers and now friends. We are blessed to have such an amazing and loyal customer base. The best in golf!
The image gallery below is just a snapshot of great memories from the weekend. Enjoy the pictures and please share your favorite memories via Betti Talks Facebook page and be sure to join the conversation on BB Colony, a third party forum covering all things Bettinardi Golf.
