I like the color of these but I like the font of last years

Also like the touch of blue from last year

But beggars can't be choosers

Tbh, I like the last gen queen b's better

No slant neck QB6, no care.  And what's with the gigantic script font?

Must be for those of us who are squinting more and more when it comes to reading menus in dimly lit restaurants. All jokes aside, I was pumped for the release, but the chosen font for these has me rethinking. I must be in the minority here, but the script font they used for the 2017 and 2019 release really made this line of putters stand out from their other offerings and offered a more refined, classy look.

This is my obligatory lefty complaint. As a lefty, we understand the economics of not making every putter but could we at least consider rotating which head is available from one release to another? It is the same heads every year……. I do like the finish though…..

[bardezart]

This launch is pretty weak IMO. I was looking forward to picking up another #6 (decided I'm starting a collection) and was hoping for different colors and a much better sole design. Honestly, I wasn't too hopeful after seeing those limited releases a week or so ago. 

[ChristopherMcDonald]

I dig it. Always loved the #6 shape. Little bit of a high toe when looking at her head on but the top down view is just mint

[MaineMariner]

The tour pictures of late have had those bumpers that slope away from the cavity. I don't know how I feel about it. Looks good from address, probably.

 

I assume that the head weight on these will be 360 grams?

Disappointing release from a lefty POV. Wash, rinse, repeat. I love the Betti brand but will never be a Betti fan boy with the limited options available to us.

Same thing i was thinking. I bought a QB6 a couple years ago and didn't like it but would love to try out the others. 

 

Basically if you don't pony up a couple grand you're not getting to try any other Betti offerings as a lefty it seems

Since they are all milled from a single block, would it be that hard to mill the inverse lefty head on any model?

I get that there probably isn't enough demand for a lefty production run on every model but they should be able to accommodate a make to order lefty version for a reasonable premium and lengthy wait time. At a minimum, it would be nice if we could get a LH option on all the custom heads.

 

Also, I noticed both the 23-24 & 21-22 are 303ss now. When did the 21-22 Queen B line switch from carbon to 303ss?

 

Soft Carbon mentioned in the 21-22 QB page still: https://bettinardi.com/pages/2021-queen-b-series-putters

 

303ss listed on the 21-22 QB current specs under "More Information": https://bettinardi.com/collections/2021-queen-b-series/products/queen-b-6-left-handed-putter-1

I recognize lefty is a small % of sales. Put putters, if the head is asymmetrical heal to toe, can't they just weld the hosel to the other side?

[mcc0819]

Other than the QB14 this is a pretty weak release.  Only other interesting aspect is the mini honey comb milling.  Wonder if that will feel much different than the micro milling.  Either way i'll be sticking with my black out QB10.

[mtnbiker5]

Have to see these in hand and test the feel.  They look ok.  I guess my QB is gonna be worth a lot of $$ now though.

[swgolf12]

Can we get the Fitzpatrick face? If not then I guess i'll pass on this release too.

[mp33er]

Still no adjustable weights...

[mtnbiker5]

Costco will be selling these for $350

[Whatnogarnish]

Doesn’t Bettinardi release the studio stock with these?

 

perhaps with the bb series going Stainless, maybe no more?

[TheBiles]

Definitely like the looks of the old one more. I might have to pick one up while they can actually be purchased. 

[Red4282]

Hard pass. I do like the shaping of the 14 but the giant fonts kill it for me. 

[mtnbiker5]

have to see and test these in hand to compare feel to what i have now.   they look nice but who knows...

[apsp_1]

The B14 looks to be the star of this release; would have preferred the B10 to be revived but still looks very nice.
The B6 and B11 are effectively the same as the previous iteration just with new fonts and scripting, and i'm still on the fence on the B15.

Yeah can’t emphasize this enough. Almost want to take up bowling instead

Interesting thought. Looking at most of them though, seems there are slight variations along with the location of branding and graphics.

That 14 is so sweet. Left handed mid mallet players are helpless

100% with you. I have a QB6 in the bag now, but it's so, so frustrating to see how limited our options are from Bettinardi. A $2,500+ custom isn't in the cards for me, which leaves very few options from them.

To add insult to injury as someone mentioned Costco, I have not seen any LH putters at Costco either.

sorry to see them drop the mini-anser.  New bumpers aren't my cup o' tea.
