2023 Studio Stock Series: Bettinardi adds 5 new models

Published

on

Inspired by a decade of work with tour professionals, Bettinardi Golf announced its 2023-2024 Studio Stock Series putters today, adding five new models to the roster.

The Studio Stock Series features all-new head shapes, including the SS9 Plumber’s neck, SS9 Spud neck, SS14, SS16, and SS35. Each putter is precision milled from a single block of 303 stainless steel and features the company’s Diamond Blast finish.

  • All-new Castleton green and jet black paint scheme
  • Castleton premium Lamkin Sink Fit grip
  • Dual-constructed Castleton green and black perforated Studio Stock Series headcover
  • Roll Control Face milling

What Bettinardi says

“Designing the Studio Stock line over the past 15 months has allowed us to create five all-new head shapes, perfect our Roll Control face milling, and produce a line of putters most similar to what you would see on Tour,” said Robert J. Bettinardi, CEO/Founder of Bettinardi Golf. “Using 303 Stainless Steel, in conjunction with our Roll Control face milling, gives golfers the softest feeling one-piece milled putter in the golf market.”

“In just the past two years alone, our Studio Stock putters have helped amass over 12 professional Tour wins, including Bettinardi’s very special 100th professional win by Fred Couples just this past year,” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “Tour validation has helped our design process ranging from the weight, the feel, the look, and the head shapes, which all-in encompasses our entire Studio Stock Series.”

Additional model details

Product narrative via Bettinardi.

Studio Stock 9 (Spud): “After many one-off appearances in the Hive, Robert Bettinardi remastered the Studio Stock 9, offering his high-toe topline, mid-body blade as a production model for the first time in over a decade. RJB made subtle refinements to bring this putter to the 2023-2024 Studio Stock lineup as a single-bend Spud neck. The SS9 head shape was re-engineered with a more narrow and compact length heel to toe, allowing us to reposition the weight in order to increase the MOI (Moment of Inertia).”

Studio Stock 9 (Plumbers): “The all-new, never-before-seen Studio Stock 9 Plumber’s neck putter is a fresh take on the classic SS9 head shape. Milled from one solid block of 303 Stainless Steel, the one-piece milled Plumber’s neck provides one-third toe hang, perfect for those with a slight to moderate arc in their putting stroke. The high-toe topline gives the putter a classic, Tour-inspired blade appearance, while the mid-body flange design offers a confidence-inspiring view at address.” 

Studio Stock 14: “This heel-toe weighted blade offers a distinct appearance from address with its widened flange, flat topline, low profile shoulders, and newly rounded bumpers that melt off the putter head. The SS14 features a plumber’s neck and full shaft of offset that make setup and alignment effortless, while half toe hang facilitates a smooth arc through the putting stroke.”

Studio Stock 16: “The newly redesigned Studio Stock 16 is crafted with key alterations to the head shape and its components, offering a glimpse of its predecessor in an otherwise brand-new putter. This face-balanced mallet maximizes control and stability through the putting stroke by distributing weight evenly to the perimeter of the putter.”

Studio Stock 35: “This compact mallet offers a fresh look with widened shoulders that distribute weight evenly toward the perimeter of the putter, increasing MOI (Moment of Inertia) and making the putter more forgiving for off-center strikes. The Slant neck provides a three-quarter shaft of offset for easy alignment and setup, while one-third toe hang supports players with a slight to moderate arc in their putting stroke.”

Pricing and availability

Available for pre-order February 7 at Bettinardi.com. Available for purchase at authorized Bettinardi dealers domestically in April, worldwide in May.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots

Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
  • JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
