Bettinardi Tour prototype mallet

[kilmidyke]

I picked this one up a little while ago with the intention of extending the shaft and converting to a belly putter. Typically for me with putters, things change! lol

 

So for sale is this beautiful centre shafted Bettinardi Xcelerator "TOUR" prototype. The word "FINAL" is handstamped on the sole to indicate that this is actually the last design sample before approval of the production design. I believe these were originally "tour only" models that proved successful and eventually ended up becoming the Ben Hogan/Bettinardi Big Ben line. She is currently at 35" playing length and an over all weight of 578g, (estimate shaft at 130g, with a little bit of epoxy and tape plus grip at about 70g should give a headweight of right around 375g. Perfect belly putter weight). Original shaft with "Tour" shaftband and a new Lamkin deep etched grip (which feels great by the way!)

 

As you can see in the photos, the milling marks on the head are absolutely beautiful and clear. I assume the head is stainless and the black finish is highly durable so this little puppy should be completely worry free. This did not come with a headcover and i dont have one that fits either, but the head will be bubble wrapped for protection.

 

Check out the pictures. The price is $150 via paypal for a piece of Bettinardi history. **Shipping is not included in the price**

 

Shipping is extra and will be calculated on a case by case basis to your door via Canada Post.

Alternatively, if you know a guy who knows a guy who can get you a good deal...then I am happy for you to arrange your own collection via whichever courier company you choose.

 

Thanks for looking and happy holidays to everyone.

Liam.

Shipping is likely to run at around $20 east or $30 west, according to the quotes I have given so far. Thats insured and trackable too.

Thanks. if it hasnt sold before new year then i'll probably just go back to the original plan and put in the extender and belly length this beauty.

Just thought i'd give this a little post christmas bump.
Hope everyone had a happy, healthy and safe holiday.

2 more days on here and then she is off the market. She'll get the belly shaft and sat back on the rack and we'll see how she rolls come springtime.

Off the market. Thanks for looking guys.
Maybe she'll be back up later in the year as a belly putter, but hopefully not. lol

Thanks and happy new year to you.
