The Queen of all Queen Bs returns alongside a couple of stunning new models, while some previously beloved head shapes are reinstated.
Which Bettinardi Queen B putter will catch your eye in 2025? Read on to find out more!
Recent releases of the premium milled Queen B line-up have been readily identified by their signature copper coloured hue. The new 2025 Queen B continues the general theme in a slightly different tone.
A new Royal Rose Gold PVD finish has been selected to give the new Queen B an eye-catching, slightly pinkish hue. It’s the elegant finish that befits the Queen B range and the best part is it’s also glare resistant.
The advancements continue in the Queen B face, which features a new version of Bettinardi’s lauded honeycomb milling pattern on the putter face. The new Mini Honeycomb face milling is Bettinardi’s softest yet promotes precise feel and responsive feedback.
The QB6 has been a core model in Bettinardi’s Queen B range for several generations. The popular wide-body blade offers a perfect mix of blade/mallet performance and its trademark rounded bumpers and heel-toe weighting make it a popular choice. Bettinardi have engineered additional performance benefits into the new QB6, with the heel bumper raised and the toe bumper lowered to shift the head’s centre of mass away from the heel to align with the QB6’s sweet spot and centre line. The QB6’s single bend shaft configuration offers near-face balanced performance, making it an excellent match for players with straight-back-and-through strokes.
Bettinardi build on the popularity of the QB6 by offering it in an SBS format — the slotback slant version. The slotback refers to the rear flange cut out, while the slant hosel alters the balance of the wide-bodied blade. The QB6 SBS generates toe hang compared to the almost face-balanced standard QB6, which will suit players with a slight-to-moderate arc on their putting stroke. The slotback has been added to frame the ball at address and aid alignment.
The compact QB7 mallet returns to the line-up after an eight-year hiatus, replacing the QB11. The QB7 has been reworked as a symmetrical mallet, a first for Bettinardi, and the large, rounded rear flange frames the ball at address. Featuring Bettinardi’s signature crescent neck hosel, the QB7 offers a half-shaft offset and moderate toe hang.
Another much loved model returning to the Queen B line-up is the Bettinardi QB8. The wide-bodied blade differentiates itself from the QB6 by its symmetrical, squared-off head shape. The rear flange blends the shoulders and bumpers seamlessly for a fluid appearance. Meanwhile, the mini plumber’s neck hosel features a full-shaft offset and aggressive amount of toe-hang to match strongly arcing putting strokes.
Bettinardi double up their QB8 wide-bodied blade offering with a centre-shafted model. The QB8 Centre features a short spud neck, which creates face-balanced dynamics to suit players with a straight-back-and-through putting stroke.
The new QB16 putter is a variation on Bettinardi’s classic QB1 heel-toe weighted blade putter. It’s a fresh take a traditional blade, featuring a wider flange, sweeping bumpers, a rounded topline and a softened exterior. A traditional plumber’s neck hosel with a full-shaft of offset balances the QB16 for a moderate amount of toe hang, to suit players with arcing strokes.
Lamkin deep etched smooth grips are fitted standard on the Queen B putter range, with a Jumbo option also available. Bettinardi Queen B headcovers have also been upgraded with magnetic enclosure.
