Fake Bettinardi?

[tbonedavid]

Hi Guys,

Any Bettinardi experts out there that could give me a bit of help?

About a year ago I purchased a Bettinardi QB9 from a reputable 2nd hand equipment seller that was listed as Limited Edition. After a quick search at the time I couldn't find much so assumed it was indeed limited edition or a custom aftermarket torched blue finish. However, I just pulled the shaft ahead of looking at fitting a stability and noticed the headweight was 371g not the specced 362g. Also, it hangs at about 20* and Bettinardi states 45*. A further google then showed up the same finish head available on DHGate so I am really not feeling optimistic right now. I have emailed Betti but wondered if anyone here knows any extra info before they get back to me?

Face milling off and it looks like the exact putter dhgate is selling. Don’t think that’s legit

My thinking exactly, thanks! Ive actually noticed some miss threading on the Headcovers too which isn't Betti quality. Luckily the shop I get it from is letting me send it back for a full refund, the hunt for a new putter is on...

Quick update, the shop are telling me it is genuine but after managing to get my hands on a QB6 SBS the difference in face milling is night and day different in quality so in my mind there isn't even a question it is fake! I have contacted Betti and waiting for a reply. Anyone know how long this usually takes? I understand it will be slower than usual obviously given the world right now!

A couple of months ago, I contacted Betti with questions and they got back to me the next day on both cases.

So, hope you'll hear back tomorrow.

Thanks! They actually replied at the same time you sent that. They have confirmed that they never released this finish which is good for me.

Anyone tell if this one is legit ?

 

Seller said he lost the headcover hence the nine matching also grip has been changed
