Mizuno Bettinardi Black Carbon Putters - BC1, BC2, BC3

[Golf4life]

What do you guys think? The chances for me holding back and not get the BC2 is slim to none. Has anyone tried it out yet?

Attractive! Not that I need any more damn putters around here, but that may be worth a look!

It will match your Sumo2 driver :lol: check out the mizuno website

[c_mack9]

honestly i dont give a crap about matching anything. im pretty consistant at putting, but i need all the help i can get with a driver (hence the sumo2). i checked them out, i wish the cb1 had a plumbers neck.

I tried one last night at a Mizuno demo night. It's got a milled face with two different patterns. THE REP SAID IT TOOK THE USGA DOUBLE THE TIME OF A NORMAL new club design to get it approved.

Nice feel, good sound you are going to want one when they come out in mid October.

The headcover is a disappointment, not the AME open in the back type. this one has velcrow on the throat, they don't work well

you can get them on tgw.com and i saw another site on google that had them. they are $250.

Am I the only person who thinks that looks ugly? Sorry but it just doesn't look too good to me. Guess I'd have to try it out to see if it works though.

that's cool, I wonder if they are in stock or pre order. The Mizuno rep told me they would not ship to the stores until mid October.

Was that supposed to somehow impress y'all? And did it? Who cares how long it takes to approve something?

I don't particularly care for the look either. If I want an insert (like on my Red X), I'd prefer it to be understated.

No, I think it's pretty ugly too, and I love Mizuno.

I think the point was that it is "so different" and it's not an insert. It's 1 piece milled. Aren't we all into what's new and different? If not I don't think we would spend so much time here.

(Sorry about the all caps on my last post making it look like a bigger deal than I intended. Cap lock stuck and I was to lazy to go back.) I will say again the feel is great but I prefer the looks of the Bettinardis that are not Hogan or Mizuno.

A few years ago, I bought an anser style Bettinardi putter. It has an insert and a short plumbers neck. I can't recall the model number, perhaps it is the BB-1 Short Slant, something like that. In any event, it is as lovely a putter to my eye as any Cameron or any other I've seen. The workmanship is superb. If I could use an anser, this would be my putter. Alas, I use a higher MOI mallet that is not nearly as attractive. I have not seen the new carbon putters in person, but I have seen pictures of them on Mizuno's website. Based on my past experience with Bettinardi's products, I would bet they're are terrific. I especially like the one that is most mallet like.

I must admit that yellow is not very attractive. Shouln't the colors been blue? or Plated satin pearl finish. In any case, i will try it out. The C-Series are still an awsome putters.

Well, I like 'em.... But I have trouble spending that when I have a C-04, and a Rife Barbados. I like the Rife very much, and its the one I use. I like the Mizuno blade putters, but not their mallet design, which is too bad - I just hit mallets better.
