No worries Nate, everyone has an opinion and sometimes they’re heated.

I agree with you that it’s definitely a steep price tag, but from what I’ve heard, they’re definitely doing alright for themselves. I think Bettinardi made the right move limiting these to green grass establishments, typically folks who patronize these places wouldn’t bother to look at the price tag if the putter felt good… and it does.. I went through a couple different putters last year and ended up going back to the Bettinardi, it’s a really iced putter.

I will say that the Never Compromise Dinero putter might be the one to permanently replace it though..

Dave,

It’s too tough for this company to make it. They’re asking $375 at retail. I’d bet you buy a Scotty before you picked up one of these.

By the way, sorry for the rough post about Tiger’s new video game. I’m tired of reading and re-reading why he’s not on the cover. I’ll keep it to myself next time.

Best Wishes.

I think that keeping these beautiful putters out of big box retail is geniius. Supply/demand marketing strategy could be very impactful for this line. People who understand the value, craftmanship and beauty of a Bettinardi putter knows where to find them. The distribution channel control allows Bettinardi to maintain a higher price point and they will make up their lack of volume in margin – people will pay more for their product. Just one woman’s humble opinion….hope to someday have my own, really need to dump my odyssey two ball putter:)
