Bettinardi 2026 BB28 Armlock Putter

Armlock putters need two things a conventional model does not, and this one has both: 5 degrees of loft in place of the usual 3, and an offset of one and a half shafts. The added loft answers the forward shaft lean the technique forces on you, while the offset puts the head where it belongs under hands that sit well ahead of the ball. Head weight climbs to 400 grams. A spud neck keeps toe hang slight, which counts for more here than on a standard build because the armlock stroke is meant to be nearly rotation free.

Material, milling and finish all follow the rest of the 2026 BB range. Locking a grip against your lead forearm is a real commitment, and this putter is aimed squarely at golfers who made that decision a while ago.
