In short
The Bettinardi BB49 (2026) is a mallet putter built for stability and easier alignment. It is face balanced, with a built-in alignment aid. It carries a $495 MSRP.
The Bettinardi BB49 is a face-balanced mallet from the 2025 BB Series, the line Bettinardi builds for players who want a milled putter without stepping into the premium Queen B or DASS price range. It's cut from a solid block of carbon steel at the company's shop in Tinley Park, Illinois, and the mallet shape here is aimed squarely at golfers who fight a pull or a push and want the head to resist twisting.
What you get is a putter that wants to move straight back and straight through. The face-balanced weighting means the face stays pointing at the sky when you balance the shaft on your finger, which tells you the toe won't hang down and rotate through impact the way it does on a blade. If your putting stroke has very little arc, this head matches it.
The BB49 also carries an alignment aid, so setting the ball on line isn't guesswork. This is a forgiving, stability-first mallet, and it doesn't pretend to be a shot-shaping tool for feel players who like to release the putter. It's built for consistency, and it's honest about that.
The mallet body does the heavy lifting on forgiveness. By pushing weight out toward the perimeter and heel-toe extremes, Bettinardi raises the head's resistance to twisting on off-center hits, so a putt struck slightly toward the toe rolls out closer to your intended speed than it would on a compact blade. The face-balanced setup pairs with that stability to keep the stroke simple and repeatable. Alignment is handled with a built-in aid to frame the ball and give your eyes a clear reference at address. Bettinardi mills these heads in-house rather than casting them, and that single-block construction is a big part of why the brand's putters feel firm and consistent across the face. The result is a mallet that stays quiet through the stroke and gives you a dependable read on line and pace.
Bettinardi is one of the few brands that still mills every putter in their own facility. Their signature honeycomb face milling and one-piece construction create exceptional feel and consistency.
