I use a Bettinardi putter. Destroys any Scottie I’ve ever seen. They have some special sauce at this company and you’re missing out if you just want the same stuff everyone else has.

Had a putter fitting a few months back and all the data went in favour of the bettinardi innovate 0.9 mallet putter... I have to admit I wanted a Cameron, but they didn't suit me at all, so got the Bettinardi and its improved my scoring so much...I really like the fact that they aren't in everyone's bag and not everyone uses them.

I think I disagree on the brand moving forward, I’m new to golf and a high handicapper, however I found a Bettinardi putter for sale at a Tip shop of all places for £2 and loved it so much I ended up buying a full set of used Bettinardi wedges. The craftsmanship and attention to detail gives me confidence that this brand know what they are doing!

The price is a bit strong. Think they will appeal to Bettinardi fans but if I was inclined to drop £1800 I’d save up for another 2 weeks and buy Miura.

TaylorMade filed a lawsuit against Kirkland for patent infringement alleging Kirklands irons were based on proprietary technology. The reality is the golf industry is rife with clones and knockoffs and there are no lawsuits against the myriad of golf clubs built in Asia. A lot of reviews have said the Kirkland irons perform as well as the TaylorMade irons while TaylorMade has said that the Kirkland irons are not as good as TaylorMade irons. There is a lot of speculation that TaylorMade is suing Kirkland because the Kirkland irons are half the price with comparable performance which calls into question why Kirkland vs all the knockoffs and clones on the market. Their biggest fear is a large company like CostCo/Kirkland has deep pockets and is putting out an affordable product which calls into question why are TaylorMade irons so expensive.

Lovely looking irons. I play the Bettinardi Queen Bee putter, its a thing of beauty , so well made, very premium looking and feels a delight when making putts. I can only imagine these irons are made to the same high standards, feel great and so carry the price tag thats offers some exclusivity. There will be plenty of people willing to give them a go .... I will once im in the market for some new irons.

I saw a Bettinardi BB 51 a few years ago and had to buy one,ma great looking putter from the guy who invented making great putters without having mass production. At the same time I purchased a set of Muira CB 501 irons. Yes expensive but fantastic looking irons and still gaming them. I sold the Bettinardi putter last year for more than I paid for it. I think if you buy something that’s top quality and great looking you might not ever change so a great investment. One thing that annoys me with today’s mass produced top brand clubs is the way they con the buyer. My 7 iron is the normal Muira loft of 34 degrees whereas some brands use 27 degree, 28, 29 etc and say they go further. That’s a lie as you have been sold a 5 iron or 6 iron not a 7 iron. Great show 👏🏻

The first time I saw a new set of irons with an 1800 dollar price tag was around 2009, maybe '10,, the sweet looking Callaway Prototype tour authentic blades, a first for Callaway. I figured they were exclusive limited edition tour specials or something. Back then that was off the charts. I say play these, Rick,, out on the course with real turf interaction, wind, weird lies. If they perform better those Wilson cb's then you've found your new set. Good review.

I would love to see you review takomo irons

Rick. I want you and to do me and all the other srixon guys a favor and test the ZX7s. I think you’d put them straight into the bag like we all did. Grab the ZX5s to test while you’re at it!!! I wouldn’t suggest it if I didn’t think you’d love them. Cheers!

Wow these are gorgeous!

They look good ❤

I have a Bettinardi Putter and it is the best I've ever gamed. It was just a matter of time before they dominated the iron market.

The standard deviation in spin for these irons is nuts. Would love to see an on course review and maybe you putting these in the bag!!

Putters and wedges are awesome buttery feel

Need to get the Vice Golf irons on the go

For that doe I'm getting the p790 aged copper & qi10 driver💯

Bettinardi makes high quality stuff, I saved up for a putter from them, probably the best putter I have ever used let alone held in my hand. top notch. if you hit these this well on course, you should put these in the bag for sure.

Would deffo get these if they worked for me. Problem is more like where can you get fit for these.

I love Bettinardi Putters and I would for sure play their Irons - if I could afford them and if the blades would be available in LH.. ;-)

Nice vid, wish I could try these! Brand familiarity may be a "big problem" for Bettinardi's sales outlook, but I don't think it should be called out so prominently in a review, because you should be reviewing the clubs from the POV of the golfer who might be considering giving them a try, not the corporate sales outlook. From the golfers' standpoint, price certainly matters, so that's definitely important. But in your final wrap-up, "these are incredible irons" shouldn't sound so much like an afterthought after hammering on Bettinardi's lack of market saturation. It's an undeserved disservice to the manufacturer.

Would love to see your thoughts on the Srixon irons.

As you said price for an iron I've not heard of .The way to sell is loss leading,reduce until price dramatically until enough irons are out playing with golfers to get them seen and heard. Then when reputation grows with word of mouth and result then price could be lifted steadily. They look Beautiful 👍

those are some nice looking irons

I couldn't be happier with my current irons (srixon mkii zx7) but Holy cow those irons are the nicest looking in ever seen (personal preference I know,)

Genuinely everything Bettinardi touches is top notch in quality, and I don't think anyone familiar with the brand and men behind the brand would be the the least bit surprised these irons are fantastic. I am quite confident that the quality of these irons is up there with Ping, Titleist, Callaway, TM, and Mizuno, and would be shocked if they don't perform on their level as well. I switched over from one of their putters to a ping one just because of the shape, but absolutely loved and can remember distinctly the feel of the old one and do miss it. I agree on the pricing though. If I had the budget to add in a new set of irons, I'd absolutely give these a go. But spending $1800 on a set of irons with a newborn when I could get a high quality used set for $500 or so just can't be justified. And that makes me very sad. They're gorgeous clubs and clearly perform as well as they look.

Those irons look solid!! My driver broke today and I can see you have one standing in the background who wants to go out on the grass. ;)

I am a betty fan and have waited for the CB and MB reveiws. Rick saying that they are great irons helps me make my mind to buy the CB's this fall. There is plenty of brand loyalty from Bettinardi owners to make these succeed.

I think they are beautiful. And if they perform Rick as you say, then there will be a market, and I 100% wish them well. I love what they are doing on the brand front, quirky yet very sleek and desirable. If anything, this brand is just another good example that the sport is alive and doing very well. End of the day, "it's only expensive if you can't afford it". I am going to work a little bit harder, 'cos i would love a set of these, even if it's just to spoil myself with something pretty.

Please review the RAM golf clubs, either the fx-77 or the newer FXTs.

They remind me of the video you did with the PLD Anser putter, describing it as a piece of jewelry. Those are absolutely beautiful in my eye. Unfortunately, as a 16 hc, those are definitely not for me. I’ll stick with my ugly G430 irons that still go the same distance regardless of how thin or toe side I hit them 😭

Great! How about a review of the new Mizuno 241, 243, and 245 iron range? :)

I like the brand, I change my gear very infrequently. Something like these are timeless, TM and others change their gear often so you're soon out of date. I've a used set of Miura TC201's (which replaced a Mizuno set I'd had for 12 years) and they're still the current model, which I like and it helps with resale also.

Bettinardi is a great company, with a bit of a cult following. Their hive selections sell out instantly every time they launch. I drove to Chicago and got a putter fitting there, and found it to be spectacular. Ended up with a queen b #6 and saw my average putts per round drop about 5-6 depending on the course.

Takomo had the best strategy. Come in at a price that is impossible to ignore. Get some traction in the market and build your reputation up. There just won’t be enough people willing to spend nearly 2k on a set of irons that will be difficult to even test

don't know when those was released but they are 1 to 1 srixon z forged 2

Are you going to try the new Vice golf irons, wedges and putters?

The price may be high but then their putters are pricy too. They are a premium brand and clearly want to be seen that way. If Scotty made irons they'd be expensive too. Hopefully what you get at this price point is exclusivity and very high quality craftsmanship. People, who can afford it, will pay extra for that. That's always been the way in all things.

Looks identical to the vice iron?

Vice have now released iron sets, if the club works and they are ok in price, go for it

Bettinardi is a popular brand in America, they make amazing putters like their Queen Bee series. I’m going to buy a set of these irons just to have I might not even play them I just like the look of them they remind me of the Miura 201s

Put them in the bag Rick and do a few rounds to see how you do? Then do another review on them of how they work out on the course? They look stunning

Check out Vice's new clubs when you have an opportunity! They look sharp!

I’ve hit both and definitely like the CBs better. MBs was as soft to me.

I'll be honest, I know Bettinardi for their putters which we've seen Rick test. If the price point was $400 cheaper, sales would be expedentially better. That said Rick is correct about them not be as popular coupled with the fact they don't have players signed. Rick should test them against an alternate brand as well as put them in the bag. If for nothing else, to field test on-course.

Rick, just curious what you do with all these clubs you test? Do you send them back or have the ultimate golf club collection?

Still 200 quid cheaper than the Ping putter fitting 😂 Ping needs to take a look in the mirror for charging people that much for a fitting and a single club. Maybe if they fit Scheffler and Korda they could try and steal money from people 😂 Another great video Rick!

I see vice came out with clubs now, those should be next on your radar! Also, there's a way to fix the brand issue.
