Bettinardi Golf is celebrating their 25th anniversary with a monthly series of limited-edition putters.The Bettinardi 25th Anniversary BB43 Limited-Edition is the seventh putter in the series.Only 250 putters were produced.Available July 25 with a MSRP of $900.

In 2023, Bettinardi is celebrating a quarter-century of making putters. Robert J. Bettinardi was making putters before 1998 but that was the year he set off to open his own shop.

To celebrate this milestone, Bettinardi Golf is releasing a different limited-edition putter each month to showcase their designs from the past 25 years.

Since this is the seventh month of the calendar year, the Bettinardi 25th Anniversary BB43 limited-edition putter represents the seventh putter in the series. This one takes us back almost to the beginning of Bettinardi Golf.

While there was a BB43 in Bettinardi’s 2014 putter line, this BB43 is really more about the one made in the year 2000.

Back when we thought all of our computers were going to crash, Bettinardi rolled out the original Millennium Series putters. The circa-2000 Millenium series putters featured milled stainless steel construction, brass face plugs and Bettinardi’s honeycomb face milling. Take that, Y2K!

The Testing Opportunity

One of our first testing opportunities of 2023 was for the Red Rooster Sussex Premium Golf Glove. At the time of testing, this glove had not been released to retail and was available only to our selected members and a handful of beta testers for Red Rooster.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf world that doesn’t always fit into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried: FootJoy Hyperflex Carbon Wide Golf Shoes

Your Thick Kick Tester

Dave Wolfe– Though I mainly talk about putters, I also have feet so wide that I will never accidentally step through a sewer grate.

Do Footjoy Hyperflex Carbon Golf Shoes bring joy for wide feet?

Greetings, big-footed brethren. Sisteren, too, I suppose as some of you also have “enhanced” foot widths. Although I am specifically reviewing the men’s version of the HyperFlex Carbon shoe, FootJoy also makes the women’s HyperFlex in wide widths so some of my findings should apply to you as well.

(I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that the spectacular white/purple women’s color scheme should also be available in men’s models.)

Anyway, this is the second FootJoy model I have crammed my fat foot into this year. You may remember the two pairs of custom MyJoys that I reviewed a few weeks back. Wait, if that was two pairs, maybe the FootJoy HyperFlex Carbon wide golf shoes are my third pair of wide shoes tested. Oh, math, how adoringly confusing you are.
