Part of the brand’s Zero Torque range, the Bettinardi SB1 Antidote putter is a unique blade model that offers unparalleled forgiveness and performance on the greens.
Launched as part of the Antidote putters seriesthe SB1 is the only blade style option and is joined by the SB2, SB3 and SB5 hammers.
The SB1 is a rare option when it comes to zero torque putters as a traditional head design, with most releases in this sector being forgiving mallet models.
The Antidote SB1 features Bettinardi’s Simply Balanced technology which ensures the clubface remains square throughout the shot for maximum control and consistency on the greens.
Design and specifications of Bettinardi Antidote SB1 putter
The SB1 features a classic wide head design with curved bumpers and a thick topline and a precision machined body made from 303 stainless steel for premium feedback and control.
The key design element in the SB1 is Simply Balanced Technology (where the name comes from), a zero-torque innovation that aligns the axle axis with the center of gravity.
The technology promotes a naturally square face throughout the stroke and is Bettinardi’s answer to the zero-torque design introduced by the likes of LAB and Odyssey Square 2 Square range.
The putter also features Feel Impact Technology (FIT), which removes 55% of the face material for a softer feel without reducing feedback.
The face is finished with Bettinardi’s signature Diamond Blast texture to reduce glare and deliver clean sight lines while standing over putts on the green.
The SB1 putter has a negative shaft offset (-1 degree) that promotes natural forward pressure to keep the stroke square and connected.
The design includes a strategically placed 6061 aluminum insert in the cavity, finished in Sapphire Blue for contrast and modern appearance.
Bettinardi SB1 Antidote Putter Review: Is It Good?
Golfers who enjoy playing head designs have generally had to wait for zero-torque options on the market, but the SB1 delivers the goods.
The Antidote SB1 is one of the few blade designs with a center shaft and Zero Torque technology. It delivers the expected soft feel and performance combined with a square stroke with excellent distance control.
The SB1 head is suitable for players who prefer a more traditional look and a compact head, which suits golfers with an arc-style putting stroke.
But it offers greater consistency and forgiveness thanks to the weight being distributed outward to increase MOI without sacrificing feel.
