If you’re a Bettinardi loyalist, 2025 gave you plenty of options to choose from. We tested five Bettinardi putters this year across three categories: mallets, blades and zero-torque with a wide range of styles and performance traits. We’ve pulled together the test results to help you decide which model might be the best fit for your game.
Bettinardi putter test results
PuttView Handicap is a Strokes Gained–style metric where a lower (more negative) number is better. Short, medium and long putting performance are measured separately, along with an overall average.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bettinardi INOVAI 6.0 | Mallet | –6.8 | –6.8 | –6.4 | –7.0 |
| Bettinardi Queen B 7 | Mallet | –4.9 | –3.8 | –2.1 | –9.9 |
| Bettinardi Queen B 6 | Blade | –4.1 | –4.8 | +1.1 | –8.0 |
| Bettinardi Antidote SB2 | Zero-Torque | –6.7 | –6.4 | –7.7 | –6.0 |
| Bettinardi Antidote SB1 | Zero-Torque | –5.5 | –7.4 | –1.5 | –5.9 |
Which one is for you?
The best overall mallet from Bettinardi was the INOVAI 6.0, the blade was the Queen B 6 and the zero-torque was the Antidote SB2. If you want to look a little deeper into which one could be the best fit for your game, here’s what you should know.
Bettinardi INOVAI 6.0 – High-MOI dual-metal mallet with Roll Control™ face milling for added forgiveness. It delivered steady performance across all distances, with especially reliable results on short putts.
Bettinardi Queen B 7 – Compact, blade-like mallet from the Queen B line. It was one of the strongest long-putt performers in testing (–9.9) but lagged behind on short and medium distances.
Bettinardi Queen B 6 – Classic blade design with a heavier head and Mini Honeycomb™ milling. It excelled on lag putting but proved inconsistent from closer ranges.
Bettinardi Antidote SB2 – Zero-torque mallet built with Simply Balanced™ technology to keep the face square. It ranked as the top performer on medium putts in the category (–7.7) while also providing solid short-range results.
Bettinardi Antidote SB1 – Sleeker zero-torque design with a soft F.I.T. Face™ for added feel. It finished top-three in short-putt performance (–7.4) but dropped off at medium and long range.
Final thoughts
Bettinardi putters showed strong performance, particularly in the zero-torque designs. The variety in shapes and alignment systems means there’s likely a Bettinardi putter to fit almost any stroke style. Here are the complete results of the 2025 putter testing.
