Bettinardi is distributed through Crew's Golf in Japan and they recently posted up a gallery featuring Mr. Bettinardi's wonderful setup.

The main foyer of Bettinardi golf:

Very cool looking facility; how cool would that be to have the putter green floors. I think Bettinardi's DASS lineup is as good as anything currently available. Just as the Circle T's and the Golds Factory lines you are going to pay for it as well.

Just imagine having a floor like that in your house, you'd take your putter everywhere and just putt around the house.... no full swings with wedges though as you wouldn't want to take a divot out of that floor!

I'm lucky enough to be able to visit there once a week. :)

gocchin...the studio floor is awesome and would love to install a floor like that in my basement except my two kids would destroy it :)

Thanks for the pics (IMG:style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/tsg_smiley_putter2.gif)

I'm a Bettinardi putter addict - not anything like Todd Schumaker tksputters or Jimmy Cigar, but I will always have at least one or two Bettinardi DASS TOUR BB8 putters in one of my bags - that's for sure. It will take a Gold's Factory totally custom made from start to finish with personal satmping and engraving and Premium Zone insert made by the Master Sasaya to compete with a Bettinardi DASS TOUR BB8 FIT face, that's for sure. Nothing from any putter retail department comes close and not even a Scotty Circle T putter in my view.

The Bettinardi studio looks awesome - I must visit it one day and put like a crazy man for 24 hours straight before I leave that place called "putter heaven"

I'll be honest that I've never had the pleasure of owning a Bettinardi before but have seriously been thinking of getting one all season... I'm eyeing the new Japan 10th Anniversary with his MR Fit face.....

I can testify to that. I was there this summer for a whole day with Ben and Bob. Outstanding facility and that putting surface is like marble. The only way to hole a put is to hit it flush and straight. Was fitted by what I can consider the best in the business. Ended up getting two extra putters along the way. Worth the time and the money.
Never putted better my whole life since that trip......makes your confidence on the green way up.

That's just outright sexy gocchin ! Had no idea what the finish product was going to look like on the 10th anniversary. Thanks for the picture :)

Is it the same black carbon finish as on the retail Mizuno Bettinardi putters ?
