Now in two heel-shafted designs, zero-torque putting technology golfers trust, now available in the heel-shafted shapes they’ve been asking for
TINLEY PARK, Illinois — Bettinardi Golf has announced the Limited Line Extension AntidoteHexperimental #7 and Hexperimental #9, the first heel-shafted putters ever built around the brand’s SimplyBalanced Zero-Torque Technology.
The Hexperimental #7 features a compact mallet profile with a ball-sized rectangular cutout that shifts massto the perimeter for added stability and alignment, while the Hexperimental #9 is a high-toe, traditional wide-body blade design.
Both models share a modified plumber’s neck with minimal onset, delivering the look and feel of a traditional heel-shafted putter, now with zero torque.
Since its introduction, Simply Balanced™ Technology has been limited to center-shafted designs. The Hexperimental #7 and #9 change that by aligning the shaft axis directly in line with the putter’s center of gravity, minimizing torque while achieving less onset. The result is a face that stays square through the stroke while preserving the classic heel-shafted putter profile.
Both models are precision-milled in-house from 303 Stainless Steel and feature Bettinardi’s re-engineered F.I.T.Face™ (Feel Impact Technology) milling, removing 30% of the face material to produce a soft, responsive feel at impact. Each putter comes paired with a matte black shaft and a Bettinardi Black Hex PU grip in jumbo or standard size.
Both models are crafted with a Black Armor TPT finish on the topline and flange, with DistressedBlue accents on the face and sole.
“Simply Balanced™ over the last 18 months has been our most talked-about putter tech, but it’s only ever been available in center-shaft,” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “The Hexperimental #7 and #9opens that up to more players, with the same zero-torque advantage, on a design they are most familiar with, looking down at.”
The Hexperimental #7 and Hexperimental #9 will be available for pre-sale at Bettinardi.com, Studio B Oak Brook, and select Authorized Retailers, with an MSRP of $550 each. The Hexperimental #9 is also available in a left-handed version.
