- Is the BB8 Slant for an arc or straight stroke?
- It is built for a slight arc. The slant neck gives moderate toe hang, so it suits a stroke that opens and closes the face slightly. A straight-back, straight-through stroke fits a face-balanced putter better.
- Does it have adjustable weights?
- No. This model has no removable sole weights, so the head weight is fixed. Players who like to tune swing weight should look at Bettinardi models with adjustable weights.
- Will the carbon steel rust?
- Carbon steel can rust if left damp. Dry the head after each round and keep the headcover on in the bag. A little care keeps the finish and face milling intact.
- How does it compare with a mallet?
- The blade head and slant neck give more feel and workability but less stability on mishits. A mallet offers more forgiveness and alignment help. Choose the BB8 for feel and looks, a mallet for help on off-center strikes.
- What length and grip does it come with?
- It is sold as a single putter in standard lengths with a Bettinardi grip. Check the listing for the exact length and grip model before ordering, since options vary by seller.
- Where is the Bettinardi Core Carbon BB8 Slant Putter cheapest?
- At Dick's Sporting Goods, for $375.00, as of our latest check.
