Bettinardi, the golf equipment brand based near Chicago, Illinois, has introduced a new line of putters called the Antidote Series. Using Zero Torque technology, the goal of the concept is to provide golfers with a preference to stroke straight back, straight through with a flatstick that resists twisting the face toward the heel or toe.
The Antidote Series offers two unique models: the blade silhouette SB1 and the mallet-style SB2. The putter's “zero torque” design is caused by a Simply Balanced composition that accurately places the shaft at the center of gravity, giving golfers the best chance of a square face at impact. “With our Simply Balanced™ technology, golfers can maintain square-to-square balance throughout the stroke, boosting consistency and confidence,” said Sam Bettinardi, president of Bettinardi Golf.
In addition to the glare-resistant Diamond Blast finish, the SB1 has blue paint fills on the sole and topline, while Sapphire Blue covers more than 50% of the SB2. And the Mini Honeycomb face pattern is a visually appealing yet functional feature that provides a soft yet responsive feel on impact.
The Antidote Series SB1 and SB2 are both available in standard and counterbalance variations for right or left-handed players. You can buy one for $430 USD on the Bettinardi website.
