You’ve probably heard that putter design is more art than science, but designer Robert J. Bettinardi has long demonstrated that the art is the science. The Queen B series of one-piece, milled-carbon-steel blades is perhaps his most clear expression of that understanding. The tweaks made for 2021 are subtle but functional: the heads have a slightly different shape from past models, including a wider flange to help with consistency through the stroke. However, a thinner, tour-inspired topline prevents the putter from appearing bulkier. The new rose gold PVD finish gives the Queen B an elegant look, but it’s also functional – more durable with cleaner sightlines and reduced glare. Finally, the Queen B’s “micro-honeycomb” milling pattern on the face provides a firm, responsive feel.
SPECS 2 models; head weight 362 grams; length 32-35 inches
“The bronze finish is so attractive that it inspires better putting. My putts roll well with a sturdy, solid feel.”
