Bettinardi BB 6.0 Putter

Blade Putter

Bettinardi's BB 6.0 is a blade putter for players who want a milled feel and a shape that reads clean at address. The BB line is the company's flagship blade family, and the 6.0 sits toward the wider end of that lineup. It has a fuller top rail and a slightly beefier body than a classic thin Anser-style blade, so it looks a little more substantial behind the ball without crossing into mallet territory.

Bettinardi mills these heads from a single block of carbon steel at their shop in Tinley Park, Illinois. That one-piece construction is a big part of why the BB series feels the way it does. Carbon steel is softer than the stainless used in a lot of putters, and paired with Bettinardi's Honeycomb face milling, you get a putt that feels dense and muted rather than clicky. Roll one across a fast green and you hear a quiet thud, not a ping.

The 6.0 comes with mid toe hang, which points it at golfers who release the putter on a slight to moderate arc. This is not a face-balanced putter and it is not trying to be. If you fight a stroke that opens and closes naturally, the toe hang works with you instead of against you.

Design

The head is CNC milled from a solid billet of carbon steel, then finished with Bettinardi's Honeycomb pattern across the face. That milling is what gives the ball its soft, consistent contact, and it also breaks up glare when the sun hits the face. There is no insert here, just steel, so the feel comes straight from the material and the milling. The 6.0 skips any alignment line or dot on the top. You get a clean flange and the leading edge to line up your putt, which suits players who trust their eyes over a painted sightline. The mid toe hang comes from the neck geometry, and it makes the face rotate through impact in a way that matches an arced stroke. Bettinardi finishes each head by hand, and the small run sizes are part of why these putters carry the reputation they do.

Who It's For

• Players with a slight to moderate arc stroke who want the face to release naturally through impact
• Golfers who prefer the feel of milled carbon steel over a firmer stainless or insert putter
• Anyone who lines up better with a clean top rail and no painted alignment aid
• Blade loyalists who want a slightly larger, more forgiving footprint than a thin traditional blade

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of stroke does the BB 6.0 fit?

It has mid toe hang, so it suits a slight to moderate arc stroke where the face opens and closes through the putt. If your stroke is straight back and straight through, a face-balanced putter would fit you better.

Is the BB 6.0 made from carbon steel or stainless?

Carbon steel. Bettinardi mills the head from a single block of it, which is softer than stainless and a big reason these putters feel so muted and dense at impact.

Does the BB 6.0 have an alignment line?

No. It has a clean flange with no sightline or dot. You line up using the leading edge and the shape of the head, which is what a lot of blade players prefer.

How does the Honeycomb face milling affect feel?

The Honeycomb pattern is milled across the whole face and softens the contact between the ball and the carbon steel. It gives you a soft, quiet strike and a consistent roll, and it cuts down glare from the sun.

Where is the BB 6.0 made?

In the United States, at Bettinardi's facility in Tinley Park, Illinois. The heads are CNC milled and hand finished there in relatively small batches.
