Bettinardi Golf, one of the industry's best-known "boutique'' putter makers, is introducing a new Country Club (CC) Series putter line in addition to its 2010 BB Series.

"We are eager to re-establish our brand presence and provide an authentic golf experience with unmatched products fully made in the U.S.A. and we're equally committed to catering to the golfer and customer who wants the best of the best," said company President Bob Bettinardi.

The first-ever CC series model, according to Bettinardi, is a classic heel-toe designed putter finished in Satin Nickel that offers a customization component and an emblazoned logo on the sole of the putter to showcase the of a club, association or school. In addition, any CC putter created for a Club recognized as a "Top 100" will receive special engraving and a "Top 100" headcover. Suggested retail for each putter $325.00.

The 2010 BB Series includes five putter models, each plated with a Black Nickel finish that Bettinardi says guarantees the highest level of durability. Bettinardi says each model in the series is milled with a single sightline to aid with alignment and has a three degree loft. Every BB putter has a pistol style grip and a Black Bettinardi Head cover. The BB putter series (suggested retail $275.00) includes:

BB1: A traditional heel-toe weighted design has a rounded shape punctuated with soft edges throughout.

BB8: A sharper more sleek appearance with a neck that is milled in a heel basis position to promote additional toe hang.

BB25: A modern blade style, the BB25 is a fresh take on a classic design with a slightly tapered body and a single flange.

BB26: A center shafted heel-toe weighted design that incorporates elements from the BB1 but with a center shafted zero offset. The BB26 design is slightly thicker in appearance at address.

BB32: A face balanced mallet that has a classic pear shaped profile at address.
