Bettinardi Golf unveils their final 25th-anniversary celebration limited-edition putter.The Minovai 2.0 is a never-before-seen head shape.Only 250 produced.Available Dec. 19 with a MSRP of $900.
And just like that, we are at the 12th and final putter of Bettinardi’s 25th anniversary limited-edition putter run. For the past 12 months, I’ve wondered what the last putter would look like. They had to close the run with something booming, right? I expected it to be another classic Bettinardi design, maybe a BB0 or half-moon mallet, perhaps featuring some iconic Bettinardi elements like copper plugs and a hex-milled face.
I was wrong.
To cap the series that celebrates their past, Bettinardi created something completely new. Plot twist! Granted, the Minovai 2.0 shares some elements with its similarly named Inovai kin but this wee beasty is truly unique. Like I said, my nostalgia-based design prediction was way off.
What’s an Inovai again?
Those of you who keep up with Bettinardi’s two-year release cycles know that when the BB 2024 update was announced last month, the new Inovai putter models would have typically been announced as well. By the way, the new BB models should be showing up in your local shops soon or they may already be there.
We didn’t get an announcement of an Inovai release for 2024 (yet?) but now we have this new Minovai. Since some of you may not be familiar with Bettinardi’s Inovai line, let’s take a quick moment and rehash the elements of Bettinardi’s Inovai putters.

What other conclusion can be drawn after the events of the past two years and the past two weeks? The people who enjoy watching men’s pro golf have been worn down like an unchanged grip.
In a recent MyGolfSpy Twitter poll with more than 7,000 votes, nearly 50 percent of golf fans said they would watch less competitive golf in 2024. They might be watching golf in other places but their collective desire to seek out the pro game could be waning.
“Honestly, I enjoy watching many of the golfers on YouTube more than the PGA Tour,” wrote one commenter. “More personality and humor. Frankly, it is a more entertaining product than the PGA Tour.”

Days after the anticipated release of the Kirkland Signature Irons, the new Kirkland Signature Adjustable Driver just hit Costco.com
Priced to move ($199), the Kirkland Signature Adjustable Driver, as the name suggests, features an 10.5 degree head with an adjustable hosel. Can this driver take the crown as the undisputed value champ?

I’ll be honest, we won’t know a whole lot about performance until we get this baby in hand (don’t worry, it’s on the way). That said, there are a few things we can infer (and predict) based on the product photos.
Multi-Material Construction
The Kirkland Signature Driver features multi-material construction. It has a carbon composite crown, titanium sole and a titanium face with variable face thickness (fairly standard overall).

You could look at Wilson Fit AI as just an app to help you select golf clubs.
You’d be wrong.
You could also be fashionably cynical and say it’s just a gimmick. And you could act all dismissive and say since it’s from Wilson Golf, it’s irrelevant in golf equipment’s big picture.
And you’d be wrong on both of those counts, too.
It’s not often we see something that makes us go all wide-eyed and say, “Wait, it does what?” But, friends, Wilson Fit AI is one of those things.

We all have choices in life. As we age, we tend to slow down and take it easy before we die. Or you can put more effort into exercise to enjoy your aging years. Golf is an exercise, but your body needs a lot of upkeep to generate more success in your game. Get with the program. It’s up to you.
A 2009 study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine determined that DYNAMIC STRETCHING exercise is significantly more important for your golf game than static stretching or no stretching at all. Dynamic stretching produced significantly greater club head speeds, greater ball speeds, straighter swing path and more centered clubface impact.
If you want to see immediate improvements in your game, start using a series of dynamic golf stretches before you play each round. Try starting with the following stretches (which I found on YouTube: Bing Videos) . For each exercise grip one of your clubs near each end.
1-Squat while lifting your hands over your head and then return to the standing position.
2-Hold your club across the back of your shoulders and alternately, rotate to either side and return to center.
