A Two-Fisted Release Of Matt Fitzpatrick-Inspired Bettinardi Putters

Has your 2026 putter cooled off already? Maybe you should show it who’s the boss and drop Matt Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi in your bag.

Granted, it won’t actually be Fitzpatrick’s putter but, as of today, Bettinardi is releasing a replica version of his putter to the golfing public.

In fact, you have two Fitzpatrick Bettinardi BB models to choose from. You can try your luck with Fitzpatrick’s ever-winning BB1 Fitz Flow (BB1-FF) blade or with the also tour-tested BB48 Fitz (BB48-F).

In both cases, you can play a true-to-spec version of the putter that he has used to rack up multiple wins on the PGA and DP World tours.

Yes! They have his preferred face grooves

The standout feature on both of the Fitzpatrick putters is the series of semi-circular face grooves. Putter historians will immediately recognize these grooves as being similar to the C-Grooves found on Yes! Golf putters in the early 2000s.

Unfortunately, Yes! Golf filed for bankruptcy in 2010. They were subsequently purchased by Adams Golf. The C-Grooves reappeared briefly in the early 2020s when Adams released a C-Groove putter line. Though very reasonably priced, that line didn’t really light up the marketplace and the grooves disappeared again.

Fitzpatrick liked them so Bettinardi made them

Truth be told, I was a bit shocked a number of years ago when I first saw the “Fitz Grooves” on a Bettinardi putter. Obviously, we all know about how putter design elements “migrate” from company to company but I didn’t expect to see Yes! Golf’s grooves on a Bettinardi.

The origin story was simple. Matt Fitzpatrick liked the feel and roll of those grooves so Bettinardi worked with him to develop their version of the C-Groove face.

In terms of victories and tour visibility, I’d say that it worked out well for both parties.

Two Fitzpatrick models to choose from

Both of the Fitz-anardi models feature similar construction elements. In addition to the matching face grooves, both putters are 100 percent milled from 303 stainless steel to head weights of 350 grams.

They also both feature thin, rounded toplines and a silver-and-black appearance. The contrasting front and rear finishes, along with the single sight line, create a striking look at address.

Fitzpatrick will undoubtedly tell you that the look also really helps to aim your putts correctly.

The real difference between the two models is the neck. If you want a blade with some toe hang, then the flow-neck BB1-FF is your model. If you want a round, face-balanced mallet, choose the BB48-F.

It’s pretty wild, and a testament to his putting skill, that Fitzpatrick could win tournaments with both putters within a 12-month span in 2025 and 2026.

Dude is that good right now.

Are you a Fitz Fanatic?

One of the best things in professional golf is when we get to see a great player play great. When they are locked in, the hard things look easy.

That’s what it is currently like watching Fitzpatrick putt. He putts so well that it is easy to forget that the putts that he is casually draining are actually quite difficult.

Can you replicate Fitzpatrick’s subtle success by adding his putter to your bag? Perhaps, but you should also add the same amount of practice time to your game.

Having the right hammer helps you hit the nail but only the one who hits thousands of nails becomes a master carpenter.

(Feel free to use that in your fourth-quarter motivational posters.)

Should you have that Fitz feeling, you will need to have $550 of room on your credit card on May 8. Order the Fitzpatrick Bettinardi putters online or in person at the Studio B Oak Brook store and Bettinardi authorized retailers.
