Bettinardi HLX 5.0

[craz-e]

I have been a big fan of the Bettinardi wedges. Can’t wait to see the new HLX 5.0 that are due out soon.

 

[Whatnogarnish]

Same. Their email blasts teased a new wedge a couple times already. 
 

I guess they skipped 4.0 and went right into 5.0?

The HLX 3.0s were a solid, under-the-radar series. Just 2 grinds, but great looks, feel, and spin. I’m hoping this iteration adds a 3rd grind option.

Hoping for a straight leading edge and grind similar to Jaws Z

What for? They are all hanging on walls anyway. 😂

Always been tempted to try their wedges

I LOVED the 3.0. Finally ended a 2 year cycle and started losing a bit of zip. Ended up with jaws raw. If these had come out 3-4 months ago Id be really interested.

The 3.0 of these are my current gamers.  Love them.  Great feel, awesome spin.

[IvanDrago]

hmm not sure on these. i think the 3.0 look better but i doubt i can get hold of a new set of 3 now

Man, wedges are getting expensive. Has Betti always priced wedges like this?

The 3.0 was 190 a wedge i believe. Always been a touch higher than competitors. Cant vouch for this one but the 3.0 was super durable and I wouldnt mind paying a dew extra bucks. 220 is starting to push it though.

the 3.0’s are $260 up in Canada, I’d guess the 5’s are $300… Might just stick with the Mizunos

[tigercolt77]

Will there be a Texas Tea finish 🤔

I play the 3.0 and absolutely love them.  Don't see any reason to update based on what I am seeing.

Don’t see why they would cost so much more than a vokey or Cleveland especially with two boring finishes.   Need Texas Tea or Oil can! 

[jdarlin]

With a little patience, you’ll be able to pick up a lightly used one for the same price as a used SM9. That’s what I did for the 3.0 and will probably do for these.

I came across some really beat up betti wedges at a Golf Galaxy..  can't remember what model they were but by beat up I mean the chrome was coming off in sheets. I honestly didn't even know that was possible but it could have been a case of extreme neglect.. My H2's are still hold up pretty well

Price wise, I don't think its fair to compared to mass market brands like Cleveland\Vokey\Callaway/ but they sure start to make price of PXG's Sugar Daddy seem less outrageous. 🤣

For a Hive version not OTR. 

[IvanDrago]

Price in the UK has gone from £169 to £229 a 35% increase.

 

considering they only last 2 years max if you want full performance its a bit ridiculous.

Welcome to 2022, inflation stinks

[getair23]

Not thrilled with the price of these, but can get over it.  I'm more turned away by the lack of shaft options.  

[McScoots]

The top line on these looks really thick

That was my thought, would love to see an in person photo

[mtnbiker5]

If these perform well I'm more than willing to trade in my new Vokey's which have been overrated....

Im also playing the 3.0s what's not to love, they hit every mark with that buttery feel. Thinking about getting the 48 and bending it 2 degrees weaker to replace the PW. If I recall correctly the 48 was not part of the 3.0 lineup.
