We at Bettinardi are excited to introduce our latest advancements in golf putter technology with the launch of the Antidote SB1 and Antidote SB2. These zero-torque putters are engineered to revolutionize your gaming strategy by ensuring an unprecedented level of balance and control.
Understanding Zero-Torque Technology
Zero-torque technology has emerged as a breakthrough in the golf world, focusing on optimizing the center of gravity (CG) within the putter head. This strategic positioning aligns the CG directly beneath the shaft’s axis, fundamentally reducing the tendency for the putter to twist during a stroke. This design results in a putter that naturally stays on its path, offering a toe-up balance as opposed to traditional toe hang or face balancing putters.
Introducing the Antidote SB1 Blade and SB2 Mallet
Crafted with precision, the Antidote line includes the SB1 blade and the SB2 mallet putters. These models incorporate our Simply Balanced technology, allowing you to maintain a square-to-square balance throughout your stroke, thus enhancing your consistency and boosting confidence on the green. Our dedication to craftsmanship ensures each product not only performs efficiently but also meets the aesthetic standards expected of Bettinardi putters.
Key Features & Craftsmanship
Both the Antidote SB1 and SB2 feature our proprietary F.I.T. (Feel Impact Technology) face milling, designed to deliver a softer feel upon impact while simultaneously providing responsiveness. This is complemented by a diamond blast finish that minimizes glare, allowing for better focus at address. The visually striking sapphire blue finish on the SB2’s body and SB1’s insert offers a pleasing contrast that is not only functional but stylish.
Enhanced Playing Experience
The putters feature a negative offset, engineered to foster a forward press, which helps in initiating the stroke without causing the face to open. This design assists in achieving a more controlled and precise stroke, setting the Antidote models apart from conventional putters.
Customization and Configuration
Recognizing that each golfer’s style and preferences are unique, we offer the Antidote SB1 and SB2 in both standard and counterbalanced configurations. The inclusion of a counterbalanced option caters to those who prefer a heavier feel, enhancing stability and control.
Materials and Specifications
The bodies of these putters are crafted from 303 stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, while the pocket inserts are made from lightweight 6061 aluminum, providing an ideal weight distribution and feel. The combination of these materials not only enhances performance but also ensures longevity.
- Weight: The SB1 is available in a 360g model, with a 400g option for the counterbalance.
- Finish: Options include a diamond blast for the body and a sapphire blue anodized finish for the insert.
- Face Milling: Equipped with our F.I.T. face for optimal impact feel.
